Measurement of cortical bone thickness of zygomatic alveolar ridge in adolescents by Cone-beam CT and its correlation with cervical vertebral bone age

CONCLUSIONS: The cortical bone thickness of zygomatic alveolar ridge in adolescents increases with the increase of cervical vertebral bone age, and the cortical bone thickness may increase significantly during Cvs4-Cvs5. In terms of cortical bone thickness, all slices of zygomatic alveolar ridge of CVS3-CVS6 adolescents are suitable for implanting miniscrews, and the anterior slices should be selected for implantation as far as possible for Cvs3 and Cvs4 adolescents.PMID:38494971
