Comprehensive three-dimensional analysis of alveolar bone adaptation and root resorption following premolar extraction in Class II malocclusion: a cohort study
To investigate the changes in alveolar bone and root structure following premolar extraction in Class II malocclusion.
Conducted a cohort study involving patients with Class II malocclusion.
Analyzed three-dimensional imaging of alveolar bone post-extraction.
Measured alveolar bone height, thickness, and root resorption.
Notable reduction in alveolar bone height and thickness in the anterior maxillary region.
Significant instances of root resorption observed post-extraction.
Changes in tooth volume were identified, correlating with bone adaptations.
Abstract
Premolar extraction in orthodontic treatment is associated with significant changes in alveolar bone height, thickness, root resorption, and tooth volume, particularly in the anterior maxillary region.
