Inclination of Mandibular Molars and Alveolar Bone in Untreated Adults and Its Relationship with Facial Type

To date, there is no solid agreement on the relationship between mandibular molars, alveolar bone, and vertical facial types. Therefore, we aim to assess buccolingual inclination of first molars respective bones their with different skeletal patterns. The CBCT data from fifty-four untreated Caucasian adult patients (12 males 42 females, 18–65 years old) were obtained a private orthodontic practice. We measured tooth bone right left using CBCT. From two-dimensional lateral cephalometric radiographic images extracted CBCT, assessed FMA, SN-GoGn, PFH:AFH. All subjects showed lingual inclinations which significantly correlated each other. However, was significant correlation Our study supports conclusion that proper curve Wilson physiological should be maintained during treatment.
