Frequency of Direct Composite Restorations to Anterior Teeth After Orthodontic Treatment: A Retrospective Study

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency rate of applied direct composite restorations to the upper anterior teeth of patients to improve the aesthetic appearance after orthodontic treatment. Methods: Records of 1080 patients whose orthodontic treatment was completed in the last 5 years were examined. In total, 104 patients with direct composite restorations of their upper anterior teeth because of a tooth-size discrepancy, tooth-shape malformation, missing lateral incisors, missing central incisors, black triangles, and transposition after orthodontic treatment were identified. Information such as gender, age, Angle classification, and which tooth or teeth were restored and for what reason were recorded. Mean ± standard deviation or n (%) was used for the descriptive variables and the chi-square test was used for the categorical variables. Statistical significance was accepted as P < .05. Results: In the present study, the frequency rate of direct composite restoration to the upper anterior teeth was found to be 9.6% among all patients whose orthodontic treatment was completed. When the reasons for restoration were evaluated, the most common reasons were determined as tooth-size discrepancy (60.6%), malformation (18.3%), and missing lateral incisors (14.4%). In patients with direct composite restorations, the most common reason for restoration in the right (65.2%) and left canine (66.7%) teeth were missing lateral incisors; in the right (80.6%) and left (74.3%) central and right (77.8%) and left (78.7%) lateral teeth, the tooth-size discrepancy was detected. Conclusion: In some orthodontic cases, direct composite restorations are needed for an appro- priate aesthetic appearance. Keywords: Anterior diastema, direct composite restoration, orthodontic treatment ÖZ Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, ortodontik tedavi sonrası estetik görünümü iyileştirmek için hastala- rın üst ön dişlerine uygulanan direkt kompozit restorasyonların sıklığını değerlendirmektir. Yöntemler: Son beş yıl içinde ortodontik tedavisi tamamlanan 1080 hastanın tüm kayıtları ince- lendi. Ortodontik tedavi sonrası diş–boyut uyuşmazlığı, diş–şekil bozukluğu, lateral diş eksikliği, santral diş eksikliği, siyah üçgen oluşumu ve transpozisyon nedeniyle üst anterior dişlerine direkt kompozit restorasyon yapılan 104 hasta tespit edildi. Cinsiyet, yaş, Angle sınıflandırması, hangi diş veya dişlerin ne sebeple restore edildiği gibi bilgiler kaydedildi. Tanımlayıcı değişkenler için orta- lama ± standart sapma veya n (%), kategorik değişkenler için ki-kare testi kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık P < ,05 olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada ortodontik tedavisi tamamlanan tüm hastalar arasında, üst ön dişlerine direkt kompozit restorasyon yapılma sıklığı %9,6 olarak bulundu. Restorasyon nedenleri değerlen- dirildiğinde, en sık olarak diş-boyut uyuşmazlığı (%60,6), diş-şekil bozukluğu (%18,3) ve lateral diş eksikliği (%14,4) belirlendi. Direkt kompozit restorasyon yapılan hastalarda, sağ (%65,2) ve sol kanin (%66,7) dişlerde en sık restoras- yon uygulama sebebi lateral diş eksikliği; sağ (%80,6) – sol (%74,3) santral ve sağ (%77,8) – sol (%78,7) lateral dişlerde ise diş – boyut uyuşmazlığı tespit edildi. Sonuç: Bazı ortodontik vakalarda, uygun estetik görünümü sağlamak için direkt kompozit restorasyonlara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
