Key Points

To assess the bone thickness and height of the buccal shelf area for effective miniscrew insertion.
Conducted a cross-sectional study using 40 CBCT scans from patients aged 19-38 years.
Measured bone thickness and height at four sites around the mandibular molars.
Compared measurements across gender and age groups using ANOVA and independent t-Test.
Bone thickness significantly increased from the first to the second molar sites.
Optimal placement found at distal root of the second molar at 6 mm and at both roots at 11 mm apical to CEJ.
Significant differences in measurements across age groups and between genders were noted.
