Three-dimensional digital imaging analysis of the palatal bone thickness for orthodontic mini-implant insertion – determination of the safe zone and angulation

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this study was to use a three-dimensional digital imaging measurement method to provide information on palatal bone volume and bone thickness and to make recommendations on the optimal and safe insertion site and angle for palatal mini-implants. All CBCT scans were acquired with a justified medical indication and not for the purpose of this study. The aim of this study was therefore to use a large cohort of patients to provide clinicians with information on which implant positions and angulations are "safe" when 3D images are not available. In contrast to . . .
