Relationship between different skeletal facial types and anterior alveolar bone thickness with cone-beam computed tomography in an Asian population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the relationship between different skeletal facial types and anterior alveolar bone thickness with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in an Asian population.

Methods

A total of 130 patients with 1,560 healthy anterior teeth were enrolled. On three-dimensional reconstructed images, Frankfurt-mandibular plane angle (FMA) value and angle formed by subspinale, nasion, and supramental (ANB) value were measured, and subjects were categorized into different groups based on their vertical skeletal patterns as well as sagittal jaw relationships. For each tooth, the thickness of alveolar bone was measured at three locations: 1, 3, and 5 mm apical to alveolar bone crest. Descriptive statistics were used. Kruskal-Wallis test, one-way ANOVA, and independent-sa
