A Novel Method to Quantify Longitudinal Orthodontic Bone Changes with In Vivo Micro-CT Data
Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is the result of region-specific bone modeling under a load. Quantification of this change in the alveolar bone around a tooth is a basic requirement to understand the mechanism of orthodontics. The purpose of this study was to quantify subregional alveolar bone chan...
