Description
Orthodontists anchoring screws in the back of the lower jaw need to know how thick the outer bone plate is, and the answer may depend on the patient's skeletal pattern. Paniz Ranji and co-authors measured that plate in 2026 on cone-beam scans of 112 Iranian adults.
Bone was gauged between the back teeth at two depths, and patients sorted into six groups crossing two jaw classes with three face angles. Thickness generally grew toward the back and deeper down, except in some Class I and normal-angle groups. Class I patients carried consistently thicker plates than Class II at key sites. The authors map the results for safer screw placement in Iranian patients.
