ABSTRACT
Introduction:
A close relationship occurs between the type of bone density and the success of orthodontic mini-implant. The aim of this study was to find out the mean bone density in interradicular areas of the maxilla among patients visiting dental unit of a tertiary care centre.Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed at the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at a tertiary care centre from 15 January 2022 to 28 June 2022 after taking ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number UCMS/IRC/175/21). Data was collected from scan reports obtained with a computed tomography scanner. Bone density was measured at 6 mm height from the alveolar crest. Convenience sampling was done. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.Results:
Out of 70 patients, mean bone density at interradicular areas of maxilla was 992.31±204.20 HU (944.46-1040.13, 95% Confidence Interval). Between central and lateral incisor 50 (71.44%) had D2 type of bone density.Conclusions:
The mean bone density in inter radicular areas of the maxilla among patients visiting the dental outpatient department was similar to other studies done in similar settings. Keywords bone density; prevalence; prostheses and implants.
