Differences in the Buccal Bone Marrow Distance of ≤0.8 mm in the Mandible of Patients Undergoing Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy among the Different Skeletal Patterns: A Retrospective Study
Abstract:This study investigated the relationship between the thickness of the ramus and skeletal patterns using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Ninety participants were categorized into three skeletal patterns (Class I, Class II, and Class III). The first vertical slice (slice 0) was observed in the intact mandibular canal, and then moved forward to 40 mm (slice 21) with a 2 mm interval. The thickness of buccal bone marrow (B value) was measured. A B value of ≤0.8 mm was consid… Show more
