Aim: To Identify the dentoalveolar morphology features in relation to different inclination of the mandibular incisors in Class II skeletal pattern patients using a dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and methods: A total of 180 CBCT records were collected from subjects aged between 17 to 35 years old. The subjects were classified into its incisor inclination (procline: 91 subjects and upright: 88 subjects) according to the cephalometrics norms. The buccolingual thickness and alveolar bone height of the mandibular incisors were measured using iCAT Vision Software Interface. Results: The upright group had significantly greater alveolar bone height compared to the proclined group (P<0.05). The alveolar bone thickness was significantly thicker at 9.13 ± 2.14mm in proclined mandibular incis.. Read More»
