The thickness of posterior buccal attached gingiva at common miniscrew insertion sites in subjects with different facial types

ConclusionsIt was determined that the thicknesses of maxillary and mandibular posterior buccal approximal attached gingiva varied between 1.18-1.72. At this point, the insertion of miniscrews of 7-8 mm in length was recommended for maxillary and mandibular posterior buccal regions, in order to obtain adequate insertion depth.
