Evaluation of palatal bone thickness and palatal depth angle for optimal mini-implant placement in MARPE: A CBCT study
Variations in TPB and PBD help identify the most favorable regions for mini-implant placement. The anterior and middle regions are suitable for implant placement and offering bicortical anchorage when TPB is inadequate in the middle. A higher PDA (indicating a flatter palate) correlated with greater TPB in these areas-and vice versa.
