Root symmetry between homologous upper incisors in non-orthodontic patients: A cross-sectional study

Most homologous upper incisors display symmetry regarding root length, shape, and dilaceration. However, this symmetry is more prevalent in central than lateral incisors, in which the root shapes may differ between homologous teeth. Orthodontists should consider these findings in their practice.

Abstract

Most homologous upper incisors display symmetry regarding root length, shape, and dilaceration. However, this symmetry is more prevalent in central than lateral incisors, in which the root shapes may differ between homologous teeth. Orthodontists should consider these findings in their practice.
