| [Objectives]The aim of the study was to investigate the thickness of the crowns and roots and the buccolingual(BL)and mesiodistal(MD) diameters of the roots of Chinese maxillary and mandibular canines. The aim of this study was to provide an anatomic basis for full-crown restorations and post-and-core restorations.[Materials and Methods]CBCT data of 150 Chinese maxillary canines and 150 Chinese mandibular canines ware collected from Hospital of Stomatology affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June.2014 to June.2015,age from 20-50 years old.Operating software NNT built in CBCT-imaging systems was used to measure the scanning layers from the cusp to the roof of pulp chamber(A),cusp to the cement-enamel junction(CEJ)(B) and from CEJ to the apex(C).The cross-sections at the middle third, cervical third, CEJ, cervical middle(CM), middle(M), apical middle(AM) were used to measure the BL,MD diameters of the root and the thickness of root walls was analyzed. The probability that the residual thickness of root walls more than 1.0mm in BL and MD after post space preparation by 1-6# Peeso reamers was calculated.

The 3D graph database of one set of teeth was described with parameters,including h,d,D, a.The tooth mobility was 50μm,the thickness of spacer was 45μm and the adhesive thickness was 20 μm. A’B’was the projection of the tooth’s axis AB in the plane. The angle between A’B’and D was ε.[Results]Mathematical model of fixed partial denture was constructed in which the second premolar tilted toward the second molar. The teeth’axis tilted at 8.1°at most when the degree of polymerization was 5° and tilted at 14.4° at most when the degree of polymerization was 10°.[Conclusions]According to the limited study,it was first time theoretical evidence that the fixed partial dentures could be placed with a slight rotation of insertion considering the movement of the tooth ligament,the convergent degrees of the tooth preparation(6°or 10°) and the film thickness of cements. |
