Buccal Alveolar Bone Assessment Using Cone Beam Computed Tomographic Following Orthodontic Alignment Without Extraction: Systematic Review

Currently, extraction is increasingly avoided to alleviate crowding. This study aimed to evaluate changes in the buccal alveolar bone during the alignment phase of orthodontic treatment without extractions using cone beam computed tomographic. Two reviewers, without regard to language limitations, performed a manual search through June 2024 and an electronic search of web databases (Medline, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science). Clinical studies, both randomised and non-randomized, were c
