Abstract:
The alveolar bone thickness influences both diagnosis and limitation of tooth movement, therefore significance retraction was commonly applied in treating patients with bimaxillary protrusion. This is a retrospective data collection of pre and post treatment lateral cephalographs from 18 to 40 years old patient treated with four premolars extraction. The alveolar mandibular bone thickness was identified in sagittal planes with Image-J software based on cephalometry lateral radiographs. Statistical analysis namely Wilcoxon test and Pearson correlation analysis coefficient were used to understand the correlation of alveolar mandibular bone thickness variables and mandibular incisors position to skeletal profile treated with first premolars extraction are presented. This data is essential for advancing in a further understanding of Class I skeletal patients with bimaxillary protrusion.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
