Data on alveolar mandibular bone thickness in Class I skeletal patient with bimaxillary protrusion

Abstract

The alveolar bone thickness influences both diagnosis and limitation of tooth movement, therefore significance retraction was commonly applied in treating patients with bimaxillary protrusion. This is a retrospective data collection of pre and post treatment lateral cephalographs from 18 to 40 years old patient treated with four premolars extraction. The alveolar mandibular bone thickness was identified in sagittal planes with Image-J software based on cephalometry lateral radiographs. Statistical analysis namely Wilcoxon test and Pearson correlation analysis coefficient were used to understand the correlation of alveolar mandibular bone thickness variables and mandibular incisors position to skeletal profile treated with first premolars extraction are presented. This data is essential for advancing in a further understanding of Class I skeletal patients with bimaxillary protrusion.
