Relationship Between Biotype and Bone Morphology in the Lower Anterior Mandible: An Observational Study

Abstract

Although some differences were detected among biotypes, data indicate that biotype does not play a fundamental role in influencing alveolar BT, whereas other variables (i.e., TT, sex, age, and smoking habit) do influence alveolar BT. Further studies are needed to better understand the extent of influence of each clinical variable.
