Dentofacial traits in association with lower incisor alveolar cancellous bone thickness: A multiple regression analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: The bony support of lower incisors is significantly associated with several dentofacial traits. Reduced lower incisor bony support was statistically associated with increased vertical facial pattern, transverse jaw discrepancy, thinner mandibular symphyseal width, and smaller lower incisor cervical diameter.
