Abstract:ObjectiveTo measure the palatal soft tissue thickness and cortical bone density to determine safe regions for the placement of orthodontic mini-implants and to examine the influence of sex and age on soft tissue thickness and cortical bone density.Materials and methodsCone-beam computed tomography images of 42 patients (22 males and 20 females), including 21 adults and 21 adolescents, were examined in this study. The palatal soft tissue thickness and cortical bone density were measured at the coronal planes be… Show more
