Nomogram prediction of vulnerable periodontal condition before orthodontic treatment in the anterior teeth of Chinese patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion

CONCLUSIONS: Female sex, lateral incisor, and limited WKG may be risk factors for thin periodontal phenotype. Age, canine, male sex, mandible, thin labial bone thickness, and root positioned against the labial plate may be risk factors for labial dehiscence; and female sex, thick phenotype, root positioned against the labial plate, lateral incisor, and canine may be risk factors for labial fenestration. The predictive performance of the models was acceptable.PMID:33843405 | DOI:10.1080/00016357.2021.1908595
