Bone availability for mandibular molar distalization in adults with mandibular prognathism.

Objectives: To investigate the retromolar space available for molar distalization in patients with mandibular prognathism.

Materials And Methods: Using cone-beam computed tomography, the posterior mandibular dimensions in 110 consecutive patients with Class I or Class III malocclusion were measured (mean age, 27.0 ± 7.
