Abstract
Background: To investigate the relationship between different skeletal facial types and anterior alveolar bone thickness with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in an Asian population. Methods: -test were used for further analysis. Results: =0.311, P<0.01 in the mandible). However, no significant difference was shown in the alveolar bone thickness among people with different sagittal bone profiles. Conclusions: The lingual alveolar bone of the maxillary anterior teeth is thicker in males than in females. With the increase of FMA, the anterior alveolar bone gradually became thinner.
