ABSTRACT
Introduction: The amount of alveolar bone on the palatal and labial surface of a tooth plays an important role in orthodontic tooth movement. Ideal post treatment results are obtained when the tooth movement is carried out within the confines of the alveolar bone.
Material and methods: Pre-treatment lateral cephalograms of 80 subjects were randomly selected and divided into four groups of 20 each: Group 1: UI to NA= 22°; LI to NB= 25°; Group 2: UI to NA = < 22°; LI to NB = < 25°; Group 3: UI to NA= 23°to 30° ; LI to NB= 26° to 30° ;Group 4: UI to NA= 31°to 35° ; LI to NB= 31° to 35° and measurements were statistically analysed.
Results: Significant differences were found among all the parameters, however these differences varied from one group to another.
Conclusion: The amount of alveolar bone present on the palatal surface of retroclined incisors is more as compared to the labial surface while as in labially inclined incisors, alveolar bone present on the labial surface is more than the palatal surface. Also, the amount of alveolar bone height is more in labially inclined incisors as compared to retroclined incisors.
Keywords: Alveolar dimensions, root apex, long axis, retroclined, proclined.
