Is lower incisor inclination a good parameter to estimate alveolar bone level? A cone-beam CT evaluation

This study verified whether an IMPA above the normative value could be a sign of reduced lower incisor labial bone height. Such association, which could improve the quality of treatment planning, was not confirmed. A cone-beam CT is still recommended when a more precise diagnosis is needed.
