Summary

Infra-occluded primary molars show shorter distances from the cementoenamel junction to the alveolar bone crest (CEJ-ABC). Adjacent and opposing teeth maintain normal CEJ-ABC measurements, indicating localized effects.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Orthodontics

Background:

  • Infra-occlusion in primary molars is a developmental anomaly.
  • Understanding the impact on surrounding bone is crucial for treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure the cementoenamel junction to alveolar bone crest (CEJ-ABC) distance in infra-occluded primary molars.
  • To compare these measurements with adjacent and opposing teeth.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of bitewing radiographs from 29 children.
  • Measurement of CEJ-ABC distances on mesial and distal aspects of infra-occluded molars and adjacent/opposing teeth.

Main Results:

  • Mean CEJ-ABC distances for infra-occluded molars were 0.78 mm (mesial) and 0.94 mm (distal).

Related Experiment Videos

  • No significant correlation found between measurements, except with opposing teeth.
  • CEJ-ABC distances for adjacent and opposing teeth were within normal limits.

    • Conclusions:

    • CEJ-ABC values are significantly shorter in infra-occluded primary molars compared to normal.
    • The findings suggest localized bone changes around infra-occluded teeth.
