Abstract:Background
The aim of the present study was to compare periodontal support changes during retraction of mandibular anterior teeth for skeletal Class II malocclusion with different facial divergence and to analyze relevant factors influencing bone remodeling by applying three-dimensional (3D) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) reconstruction technology.
Methods
Forty-eight patients with Class II malocclusion requiring surgical orthodontic treatmen… Show more
