Evaluation of Palatal Bone Thickness at the Implantation Areas of Two Popular Bone-Anchored Distalizers—A Cone Beam Computed Tomography Retrospective Study
Since class II malocclusion and lack of space within the dental arch due to early loss of deciduous molars is a common orthodontic problem in the Polish population, bone-anchored distalizers are becoming more and more popular.

| description | Since class II malocclusion and lack of space within the dental arch due to early loss of deciduous molars is a common orthodontic problem in the Polish population, bone-anchored distalizers are becoming more and more popular. The aim of the present study was to evaluate palatal soft and hard tissue thickness using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) at the area of micro-implant placement of two appliances for maxillary first molar distalization: Beneslider and TopJet distalizer. The study data were 100 consecutively selected CBCT images (53 of men and 47 of women). Measurements of bone and mucosa thickness were performed at six locations in the palate and tested according to their correlation with sex and age. The biggest bone and mucosa thickness were recorded in the insertion site of the TopJet miniscrew. Bone thickness in all points of paramedian insertion was significantly greater in males and the mean difference was approximately 1–1.8 mm. Age correlates significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and positively (r > 0) with the thickness of the mucosa at all points: the older the patient, the thicker the mucosa at each measurement point. Anatomical diversity of the hard palate in the population involves the need to perform bone and mucosa thickness measurements before palatal micro-implant placement. |
