Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the buccal bone thickness and root length of the maxillary incisors in deep bite patients. Material and Methods: Cone beam computed tomography data of 124 patients were randomly selected in this cross-sectional study. In the study, patients were divided into two groups, normal bite and deep bite, and buccal bone thickness and root length of the maxillary incisors were measured. Buccal bone thickness was measured at 4 mm apical to the cemento–enamel junction and at the midpoint of the root. Results: By comparing these factors between the two groups of normal and deep bite, only the difference in the buccal bone thickness at the midpoint of the root of the central incisor between these two groups was statistically significant. Also, by comparing these factors between male and female patients, the root length of the central and lateral incisors and the buccal bone thickness in the mid root of the central incisor were significantly more in Men. Conclusion: A significant disparity in the buccal bone thickness at the mid-root level of central incisors between normal bite and deep overbite patients was revealed. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
