Abstract: Objective: To investigate the crown-root length of upper central incisors in early youth and explore the related hard tissue measurement items. Methods: The cone-beam CT (CBCT) of 100 patients with malformed malocclusion was selected. The crown-root length of the upper central incisors and the related hard tissue 3D measurement indexes were measured by MIMICS17.0 software. The Spearman correlation analysis was carried out on the crown-root length of the upper central incisors and the related hard tissue 3D measurement indexes using the SPSS21.0 software. Results:①The root length was positively correlated with the lip inclination and the thickness of the alveolar bone in the apical labial side.②The crown root ratio of the upper central incisors was negatively correlated with the lip inclination and the thickness of the alveolar bone in the apical labial side.③The thickness of the alveolar bone in the apical labial side was positively related to the lip inclination, and was negatively correlated with the crown root ratio. Conclusion: There is a correlation between the length of the root, the crown root ratio, the lip inclination, the thickness of the alveolar bone in the apical labial side of the upper central incisors. It has a guiding significance for the clinical work.
