Key Points

  • The study aims to examine palatal bone thickness using cone-beam computed tomography in children and adolescents.
  • Retrospective cross-sectional design
  • Analyze 20 3D radiographs
  • Focus on paramedian insertion at the connection line of the first premolars
  • Greater bone thickness observed at the connection line of the first premolars in the sample
  • Variability noted in bone thickness related to sex and age
  • Emphasizes the need for more extensive future research

Abstract

Within the limitations of the present pilot study, including only 20 3D radiographs, paramedian insertion at the connection line of the first premolars showed comparatively greater bone thickness in this pilot sample. Further research is warranted to better understand how palatal bone thickness matures in relation to sex and age during the growth period.
