Implication

CBCT imaging analysis demonstrates bone thickness patterns across mandibular buccal step sites, suggesting lower root damage risks during mini-screw insertion.

Key Points

Total bone depth increases toward the inside of the mouth across mandibular buccal step sites, creating favorable anchorage for mini-screw placement.
Cortical bone thickness decreases inward and differs between sites M0 and M4, while hypo-divergent facial shapes exhibit thicker cortical bone layers.
Analysis of 85 CBCT records evaluated axial sections at apical levels M0, M2, and M4, measuring both cortical and total bone depth across root planes.
Highlights clinical suitability of the posterior buccal step for mini-screw placement, providing biomechanical advantages while reducing root damage risks.
