Abstract

Background: In orthodontics, the assessment of alveolar bone thickness (ABT) plays a pivotal role in treatment planning and biomechanical considerations. Variations in ABT, especially in the anterior region, have significant clinical implications for patients with different skeletal malocclusions. This study specifically focuses on assessing ABT using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) among different sagittal skeletal patterns in maxillary and mandibular anterior regions. Method: A total of 15 healthy subjects aged 18 years or above were selected based on specific criteria and categorized into 3 groups: Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusions. CBCT scans were obtained to measure the ABT at 5mm, 8mm, and 10mm from the Cementoenamel Junction (CEJ) on both labial and palatal/lingual sides. Ethical clearance was obtained, and subjects were stratified based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software
