Effect of mandibular first molar mesialization on alveolar bone height: a split mouth study

ConclusionsSpace closure through extensive tooth movement was identified as a risk factor for vertical ABL, at the mesial sites of mandibular first molars. However, the amount of ABL was not clinically relevant, and thus this treatment option is considered safe in terms of ABL.
