In this study, the relationships between the lower face height and the structure of the frontal alveolar and basal bone were investigated. The areas and the dimensions of the anterior alveolar and basal midsagittal cross-sectional bone from the maxilla and the mandible were recorded on lateral cephalograms from 460 untreated adults. An index was calculated dividing the sagittal by the vertical ...
