Evaluation of Palatal Bone Thickness and Its Relationship with Palatal Vault Depth for Mini-Implant Insertion Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography Images.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to measure the thickness of the palatal bone using cone beam computed tomography images for placement of mini-screws and their relationship with palatal vault depth.

Methods: This study was performed on 150 maxillary cone beam computed tomography images, 50% (n = 75) had deep palate and 50% (n = 75) had normal palate and 27.3% (n = 41) were male and 72.

Three-dimensional measurement of tooth inclination: A longitudinal study.

Background: New tools have been introduced for tooth inclination measurement and assessment of its changes over time. This study aimed to measure the change in inclination of teeth after the periods of 2 and 4 years in adolescents with normal occlusion using three-dimensional (3D) software.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective longitudinal study was conducted on 54 pairs of dental casts of 24 adolescents between 9 and 13 years of age with normal occlusion.
