Abstract:

Objective To analyze the relationship between patients with second molar scissors-bite and cephalometric indicators, to assess risk factors associated with the pathogenesis of second molar scissors-bite, and to explore the sensitive indicators in different populations. Methods A case-control study was conducted with 106 patients with second molar scissors-bite (the case group). The control group was 102 patients without scissors-bite and with bilateral molars and cusps in a neutral relationship. Differences in age, sex, skeletal and dental measurements were compared between the two groups of patients. Risk factors associated with second molar scissors-bite were further analyzed using multifactor Logistic regression. Results Univariate analysis showed that five measures, ∠ANB, Wits value, OB, OJ and ∠SNB were sensitive indicators of second molar scissors-bite. Logistic regression showed that for the entire study population, low angle (OR=2.907, 95%CI: 1.157-7.307), ∠ANB (OR=1.643, 95%CI: 1.203-2.245) and OB (OR=1.442, 95%CI: 1.116-1.862) were risk factors for the pathogenesis of second molar scissors-bite. In males, large ∠ANB was the main risk factor for the pathogenesis of second molar scissors-bite. In females, the main risk factors for the pathogenesis of second molar scissors-bite were high angle and larger ∠ANB and OB. In adolescents, ∠ANB and OB value, and in adults, ∠ANB and low angle were risk factors for the pathogenesis of second molar scissors-bite. Conclusion Skeletal class Ⅱ is the most important risk factor for second molar scissors-bite. In addition, high angle and deep overbite in women, deep overbite in adolescents and low angle in adults are all at high risk of the pathogenesis of second molar scissors-bite.
