Relación entre el límite amelocementario y la cresta ósea en el sector anterosuperior: Revisión Sistemática.

Abstract

Introduction: The cemento-amelocemental junction is the limit between the tooth enamel and the root cementum in the cervical region; where the gingival fibers attach to the tooth slightly apically in health, therefore, it represents an important landmark in periodontal health. The alveolar bone is one of the supporting structures of the tooth which surrounds it apically from the amelocemental junction; its coronal border is called the alveolar ridge. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the amelocemental limit and the bone crest in the anterosuperior sector. Materialsa and Methods: A non-experimental qualitative descriptive study was carried out to analyze the relationship between the amelocementary limit and the bone crest. The search for information was carried out through meta-search engines such as Pubmed and Google Scholar. RESULTS: It was determined that the physiologic distance from the amelocementary limit to the bone crest in the anterosuperior sector can range from 1.3mm to 3mm, with a mean of 2.1mm for the central incisor, 2.46mm lateral incisor and 2.71mm canine. Among the factors that can modify the amelocementary limit to bone crest distance age was the most cited in the literature. Conclusions: The identification of the dimensions of the periodontal tissues as accurate or precise as possible will allow us to obtain more predictable results and above all with long-term success in each of the periodontal treatments, especially in areas of great esthetic importance such as the anterosuperior sector.
