Spatial Relationships between the Mandibular Central Incisor and Associated Alveolar Bone in Adults with Mandibular Prognathism

Abstract

In adults with untreated mandibular prognathism, when the mandibular central incisor was more lingually inclined, the associated alveolar bone was also more lingually inclined and thinner. The mandibular central incisor root apex was closer to the inner contour of the labial cortical bone than to the lingual cortical bone.
