Abstract :

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the root length and root volume changes in maxillary first molars and mandibular anteriors teeth (Anchor teeth) using CBCT in Class II division 1 patients treated with Powerscope and Forsus appliances. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The study sample of 20 patients, (mean age of 14.74+2.13years) with Class II divison 1 malocclusion were randomly divided into two groups of 10 patients. Group I was treated with Powerscope appliance and Group II was treated with Forsus fatigue resistant device. CBCT records were obtained before the placement and at the time of removal of the appliances. All anchor teeth were evaluated for root length and volumetric changes by using Xelis dental software (Dental3D version 1.0.5.0 BN4). RESULTS: All anchor teeth showed statistically significant decrease in the root length and volume in both the groups (P=0.001). But the decrease in the root length of mandibular canines and mandibular right lateral incisor root volume was statistically more significant in Powerscope group than the Forsus group. (P=0.02 & 0.029 respectively) CONCLUSION: Significant amount of root length and volume changes were evident in all the maxillary first molars and mandibular anteriors in both the groups. Powerscope appliance resulted in significantly more root length and volumetric resorption in than Forsus appliance.
