Association between the dimension of the permanent molars/alveolar bone and distal tooth movement with TADs – A CBCT study

OBJECTIVES: To determine if the dimension of the maxillary permanent molars and the surrounding alveolar bone influence the amount of distal movement of the maxillary first permanent molar during tooth movement with mini-implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen young patients undergoing distal movement of the maxillary teeth with mini-implants were included in the study. The entire … Continued
