Three-dimensional volumetric evaluation of dental pulp cavity/tooth ratio in anterior open bite malocclusion using cone beam computed tomography

ConclusionAnterior open bite malocclusion might lead to an increase of the pulp cavity volume and decrease of the tooth volume due to occlusal hypofunction.Clinical relevanceOrthodontic force should be carefully determined in anterior open bite patient due to the greater root canal volume and lesser root volume.
