Computed tomography assessment of maxillary bone density for orthodontic mini-implant placement with respect to vertical growth patterns.

The present study concluded that cancellous bone density in the interradicular regions was greatest in the anterior sites and was not influenced by growth pattern. Hypodivergent groups tend to have higher density in the posterior regions (buccal and palatal cortical bone) and at the IZC region compared to normodivergent and hyperdivergent groups.
