摘要:
目的 回顾性分析来自昆明人群上颌第1和第2磨牙根管系统,尤其是近颊根第2根管的发生率及其根管类型规律。 方法 收集云南省第一人民医院358名患者总共1 279颗上颌第1和第2磨牙锥形束CT(cone-beam CT,CBCT)资料,根据性别、牙位和年龄分组,分析MB2发生率、根管类型构成及根管口间距,研究MB2与MB1-P/DB-P比值的相关性。 结果 上颌第1磨牙MB2平均发生率为86.51%,不同年龄组17~19岁组最低(70.0%,P < 0.05),其他3组间无显著性差异(分别为88.61%、87.39%、79.75%,P > 0.05),MB2根管类型分别为Ⅱ型15.5%、Ⅲ型6.1%、Ⅳ型64.6%、Ⅴ型13.7%。上颌第2磨牙MB2平均发生率为52.05%,不同年龄组间无显著性差异(分别为40.00%、51.08%、52.44%、59.38%,P > 0.05),MB2根管类型分别为Ⅱ型17.3%、Ⅲ型7.3%、Ⅳ型50.0%、Ⅴ型25.4%。上颌第1磨牙MB2与MB1距离为(1.70±0.72)mm,与垂线距离为(0.78±0.49)mm,MB1-P与DB-P比值分别为1.28±0.08(有MB2)和1.23±0.02(无MB2)。 结论 昆明人群上颌第1和第2磨牙MB2发生率较高,IV型常见,MB1-P与DB-P比值有助于术前明确MB2的有无,提高根管治疗的成功率。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the characteristics of root canals of maxillary first and second molars in Kunming population, especially the second mesiobuccal (MB2) canals. Methods Cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) technology was used to analyze a total of 1279 maxillary first and second molars from 358 patients in our hospital. The root number, root canal classification, presence and location of MB2, distribution of the main root canal orifices were explored. Results The incidence of MB2 in maxillary first molars in Kunming population was 86.51%. The incidence of MB2 in group 18-19 behaved much lower (70.0%, P < 0.05) and there were no significant differences among the other three groups (88.61%, 87.39% and 79.75%, respectively, P > 0.05). The distribution of MB2 was: type Ⅱ 15.5%, type Ⅲ 6.1%, type Ⅳ 64.6% and type Ⅴ 13.7%. The incidence of MB2 in maxillary second molars was 52.05%. There were no significant differences among all the four age groups (40.00%, 51.08%, 52.44% and 59.38%, respectively, P > 0.05). The distribution of MB2 were type Ⅱ 17.3%, type Ⅲ 7.3%, type Ⅳ 50.0% and type Ⅴ 25.4%. The distance from MB2 to MB1 was 1.70±0.72 mm and that to vertical line was 0.78±0.49 mm. The ratios of the distance between the first mesiobuccal and palatal canal orifices (MB1-P) to that between the distobuccal and palatal canal orifices (DB-P) were 1.28±0.08 (with MB2 present) and 1.23±0.02 (MB2 absent). Conclusion MB2 root canal in maxillary molars in Kunming population occur with high incidence and most of them behave as type IV. The ratio of MB1-P to DB-P will help to define the presence of MB2 root canal and improve the success rate of root canal treatment. -
上颌磨牙根管系统的解剖形态变异较大,尤其是近中颊侧第二根管(second mesiobuccal,MB2)增加了临床治疗难度。已有研究发现接受根管治疗的上颌第1磨牙有46.5%遗漏MB2,其中72.7%与其根尖周病变有关[1]。MB2发生率有明显地区和种族差异,我国人群上颌第1磨牙MB2平均发生率为85.4%[2]。笔者采用锥形束CT(cone-beam computed tomography,CBCT)对来自昆明人群上颌第1和第2磨牙的根管系统进行分析研究,总结MB2发生率及根管口分布规律。

上颌磨牙根管治疗时MB2的存在对牙髓专科医师是一大挑战,MB2根管口常为继发性牙本质所覆盖,其位置确认、探查及疏通都比较困难[5]。近年来人们对上颌磨牙MB2根管进行了大量研究,不同方法的结果差异较大。CBCT作为一种无损性三维检查方法,可以更准确地判断MB2,是根管形态体内研究的金标准[6]。
本研究人群上颌第1磨牙绝大部分为3个牙根(99.2%),有2颗牙齿仅有颊根和腭根2牙根,但每个牙根均包含2根管,另有3颗牙齿也是2牙根,但根管为3个(近中颊、远中颊和腭根管)。本研究人群上颌第1磨牙MB2平均发生率为86.51%,青年人发生率较低,随年龄增长MB2明显增加,与Zhang[2]和Tian等研究结果一致。可能的原因是继发性牙本质沿根管颊舌向不断沉积,导致1个宽大的扁根管分为2个根管。Zhang等[8]研究发现我国四川地区人群上颌第1磨牙MB2发生率为52%,低于本研究结果。Kewalramani R等[9]研究发现印度人群上颌第1磨牙MB2发生率为61.9%(低于本研究人群),20~40岁最高,> 40岁次之,< 20岁最低(分别为67.4%、57.5%、50.6%),与本研究结果相似。最近一项大型研究[10]综合分析全世界21个国家和地区人群总共5250颗上颌第1磨牙,发现MB2平均发生率为73.8%,男性高于女性(76.3% > 71.8%),与本研究结果一致。
本研究人群上颌第1磨牙近颊根管大部分为Vertucci Ⅳ型,即MB2有独立的根管口和根尖孔,其次为Ⅱ型和Ⅴ型,提示MB2与MB1间有融合或交通,Ⅲ型最少,MB2与MB1由融合到分开再发生融合,形态最为复杂。Faraj等[11]研究伊拉克人群上颌第1磨牙的根尖孔解剖,结果发现有MB2的牙齿66.28%为1根尖孔,33.72%为2根尖孔,与本研究结果一致。MB2根管口多为椭圆形,与MB1形态一致,但明显要细小,常有偏向近中腭侧的弯曲,然后再移向中心,最后到达根尖,治疗时应特别注意。
本研究人群上颌第2磨牙MB2平均发生率为52.05%,高于我国台湾地区人群(35.97%)[12],随年龄增长上颌第2磨牙MB2发生率没有明显增加,其近颊根管类型构成比与上颌第1磨牙相似,也是Ⅳ型最常见,其次为Ⅴ型和Ⅱ型,Ⅲ型最少。
既往研究MB2定位时常沿MB1和P根管口画条参照线,MB2位于参照线近中侧,距离MB1根管口2~3 mm处[13]。本研究人群上颌第1磨牙MB2均位于参照线近中侧,与MB1距离为(1.70±0.72)mm,与垂线距离为(0.78±0.49)mm。
Zhang等[2]分析南京地区人群1008颗上颌第1磨牙CBCT资料,经受试者工作特征曲线分析后首次提出:MB1-P和DB-P比值可用于预测上颌第1磨牙MB2的存在,大于1.26提示有MB2可能性很大。本研究人群有MB2的上颌第1磨牙MB1-P/DB-P比值为1.28±0.08,表明该理论有一定诊断价值,但需要更多的临床数据证实。Su等[14]研究发现上颌磨牙有和无MB2的MP(比值比 = 1.891)和MD间距(比值比 = 1.448)存在显著性差异,提示有MB2的上颌磨牙根管治疗时应该改良髓腔入路设计以便MB2的定位,但未对MP/MD比值与MB2的相关性进行研究。
本研究利用CBCT技术研究昆明人群上颌第1和第2磨牙的根管系统特征,结果发现上颌第1和第2磨牙MB2发生率分别为86.51%和52.05%,其中IV型最为常见,上颌第1磨牙MB1-P/DB-P比值可辅助用于术前判断MB2的有无。术前充分了解牙齿根管形态,术中测量MB1-P和DB-P间距辅助诊断,根据MB2与其他根管口位置的关系,结合口腔手术显微镜和超声器械的使用,可更好定位MB2,提高上颌磨牙的根管治疗成功率。本研究纳入病例较少,不能完全反映昆明人群上颌磨牙的根管特征,需要在临床中进一步验证。
