Join me for a look at CBCT and its use in the diagnosis of the transverse problem, and if it offers the solution to the debated topic. The podcast is based on a lecture by Chun Hsi Chung at this year’s AAO and appraises established methods of assessment, the Curve of Wilson and the WALA ridge line through the lens of a CBCT, as well as how to use a CBCT to assess the maxilla and mandible, which although revealed an ideal measurement, may not be telling the full story.
What is ideal?
inclination
Curve of Wilson – CBCT study
Vertical distance buccal and lingual cusp, 1mm vertical difference
Buccal inclination upper 5 degrees Alkhatib 2017
Lingual inclination lower 12 degrees Alkhatib 2017
Andrews WALA ridge 2000
Bucco-lingual distance from crown ( FA point) to the most prominent portion of mandibular buccal alveolar bone (coincident with mucogingival junction)
Hypothesised teeth over the basal bone , Glass 2019
1st molar = 2mm
Ideal mandibular intermolar width FA – FA = WALA-WALA distance minus 4mm
Normal width CBCT
CBCT age 13 N = 79 Miner 2012
Maxilla slightly smaller
mid point molar root on lingual bone -1.22 +/- 2.91mm
CBCT Age 22.7 years Koo 2017
Measure CoR furcation 1st molar Mx – Mn = -0.39+/- 1.87mm
CBCT 56 adults normal occlusion Lee 2022 PENN STUDY
Buccal – buccal on crestal bone, furcation, 6s
Lingual – lingual crestal furcation 6s
Reliable reading on lingual aspect – buccal shelf bone prevents reliable readings
Maxilla narrower than mandible -1 +/- 3mm
Previous literature Tamburrino 2010 describes 5mm cortical plate level of furcation buccal aspect, however Lee 2022 showed for males 1.1mm +/- 4.5mm and 1.6mm +/- 2.9mm
Without cbct can transverse diagnosis occur?
Models = lingual surface at furcation level (4mm vertical below gingival margin) maxillary width slightly narrower than mandible -2+/- 3mm
Issue with CBCT for diagnosis
Standard Deviation is large = +/- 3mm, range from -4mm-+2mm falls into SD
Issue with study model transverse analysis from 4mm at the gingiva
Not validated

What I liked about Greg’s lecture was that he started with
“Airways are like TMD controversy on steroids”
“it amazes me we still think we can grow mandibles”
“We have an appliance (expansion) and are trying to fit it into a diagnosis”
“it is unethical to call yourself an airway orthodontist”
Sanjivan describes why there is controversy in

Join me for a summary exploring an innovation of the use of bone-anchored plates in class 2 correction. This was a clinically novel idea presented by Hugo De Clerck, who has been an innovator in the use of bone-anchored plates and has published seminal papers on the topic for class 3 treatment.
