retrospective study on the relationship between alveolar-bone morphology at the mandibular incisors and their inclination in adults with low-angle, skeletal class III malocclusion

Background and Aim: The orthodontic tooth movements should be such that the moves safely within alveolar bone. bone around mandibular central incisors of patients with skeletal class I II malocclusion is thicker in comparison to those III malocclusion. present study aimed investigate an association between low angle inclination class-III morphology it. Materials Methods: A retrospective was carried out on 75 Orthodontics Department a Tertiary Care Hospital Islamabad, Pakistan from January 2020 December 2022. malocclusions were confirmed via cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. angle, categorized into three different groups: Group-I (lingual-inclination), Group-II (upright), Group-III (labial-inclination). Outcomes as height area cortical well cancellous thickness determined independently each side. Results: labial thickness, bone, total area, highest group-III There positive correlation other aforementioned variables.
