Comparison of normal permanent and primary dentition sagittal tooth-crown inclinations of Japanese females.
2012
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of permanent and primary toothcrown inclinations. Landmark points from cephalograms and dental casts of two groups; 23 women (mean 20.3±3.3 years) and 11 girls (mean 5.2±0.1 years) were digitized, and the coordinates were integrated and transformed to a standardized plane. The 3-dimensional crown inclinations were projected on the sagittal plane, and the angles between the tooth vectors and the FH plane were calculated. An independent-group t-test was used to test for group differences of each tooth inclination, and correlation coefficients were generated for the inclination angles among the permanent and primary teeth. Most maxillary tooth-crown inclinations showed significant age-related differences, while only the second premolar and primary second molar differed significantly in the mandible. The maxillary molars were parallel to the corresponding mandibular molars and correlated with each other, but the primary molars were not. Sign...
