Peridental bone changes after orthodontic tooth movement with fixed appliances: A cone-beam computed tomographic study.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on these results, it seems reasonable to recommend that peridental bone in orthodontic patients older than 30 be evaluated on a routine basis due to the risk of increased vertical bone loss. Ninety percent of patients younger than 30 showed reduced bone height (dehiscence) of the periodontium of at least one tooth. PMID: 28553985 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
