RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the method of determining oral implantation sites based on an anatomical model of mandibular premolar area of a Beagle dog.Methods:This study was performed in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University between January 2019 and October 2020. Mandibular anatomical structure and measurement data were compared between before and after removal of premolar teeth to determine safe implantation areas and oral implantation sites.Results:Among all mandibular premolars, the roots of the 1 st to 4 th premolars (P1-P4) gradually increased. The diameter of the mesial roots of the double root teeth P2, P3, and P4 was (2.72 ± 0.45) mm, (3.22 ± 0.32) mm, (4.16 ± 0.34) mm, respectively, which was significantly shorter than those in the distal roots [P2: (2.98 ± 0.29) mm, P3: (3.48 ± 0.27) mm, P4: (4.58 ± 0.22) mm]. The length of distal roots P2, P3 and P4 was (8.79 ± 0.41) mm, (9.21 ± 0.31) mm, (10.12 ± 0.36) mm), respectively, which was significantly shorter than that of mesial root [P2: (8.91 ± 0.69) mm, P3: (9.48 ± 0.27) mm, P4: (11.58 ± 0.24) mm]. Among all mandibles, the distance (H) from the mental foramen to the first molar and the width (W) of the alveolar crest increased successively [H1: (7.24 ± 0.49) mm, H2: (8.28 ± 0.71) mm, H3: (9.52 ± 0.37) mm, W1: (5.71 ± 0.81) mm, W2: (5.82 ± 0.28) mm, W3: (6.72 ± 0.54) mm]. Conclusion:The mental foramen and the distal part outside the canine apical area are safe implantation areas. In the safe implantation area, the length and diameter of the implant prosthesis do not exceed the root length in the implantation area and the maximum diameter in the buccal lingual direction.
