Three-Dimensional Assessment and Comparison of the Maxillary Tuberosity Between Skeletal and Dental Class I and Class II Adults in Maxillary Third Molar Agenesis Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Human Study.

Aim And Objective: The objective of this study was to assess and compare the dimensions (width (W), height (H), and length (L)) of the tuberosity distal to maxillary permanent second molar in individuals with skeletal and dental Class I and Class II malocclusions who had maxillary third molar agenesis.

Methodology: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to measure the left (L) and right (R) anatomical tuberosity dimensions in three dimensions using the WillMaster software (HDX WILL Corporation, Korea). The measurements were compared between Class I (n = 35) and Class II (n = 35) normo-hypodivergent adult subjects.
