Abstract:Objective:
To investigate the alveolar bone condition of mandibular molar distalization in skeletal Class III patients from buccolingual direction.
Methods:
45 skeletal class III patients were recruited. The alveolar bone volume, buccal cortical bone thickness and lingual cortical bone thickness were measured in five planes from mesial to distal and at five depths from gingival to root. The effects of the gender of the patients, the second molar lingual inclination, and wisdom tooth on alveolar bone volume a… Show more
