Abstract
Orthodontists should know variation in thickness of infrazygomatic crest region according to maturation status of patients. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the thickness of bone at infrazygomatic crest region and to correlate the thickness of bone with cervical vertebrae maturation index (CVMI) incorporating CBCT. A retrospective analysis of 120 patients' CBCT scans60 of them male and 60 femal - was carried out. The thickness of the bone was determined at five locations. Using CBCT, the cervical vertebral maturation was created and the Hassel-Farmann index was used for analysis. A lone researcher conducted all of the measurements. Bone thickness of infrazygomatic arch at all five locations was found to increase as the maturation stage progressed from initiation stage to maturation stage. Then there was decrease in the bone thickness in completion stages compared to maturation stage. The thickness of bone at infrazygomatic arch is significantly correlated with CVM stages as determined by CBCT.
