Study on Shape of Incisor Canal and Its Clinical Significance in Orthodontic Treatment

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2023.05.002

Abstract

Abstract: The position of maxillary central incisors directly affects facial contour symmetry and midline coordination after orthodontic treatment. Therefore, the three-dimensional spatial angle of maxillary central incisors should be considered when making orthodontic treatment plan. With the wide application of CBCT, scholars found that the root resorption of maxillary central incisors was not only related to the palatal cortex of the maxilla, but also closely related to the shape of the incisor canal. Therefore, understanding the shape of incisor canal and its clinical significance in orthodontic treatment can provide guidance for clinicians in the formulation of treatment plans, process monitoring, and postoperative evaluation. This article reviews the structure of incisor canal and its clinical significance in orthodontic treatment.

Key words: root resorption, incisive canal, anatomical structure, orthodontic treatment
