A sample of 82 patients (all were in cervical vertebral stage 6) was divided into three groups (class II OB group, n = 29; class II NOB group, n = 29; class I NOB group, n = 24) according to bilateral molar relationship, ANB angle, and anterior overbite measured by cephalometric analysis. The evaluation was performed with specialized software (Mimics 21.0) and initial cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. The alveolar bone height and thickness of the whole dentition area and alveolar crest level and root apex position of the incisors were measured with a series of appropriate CBCT images. One-way analysis of variance followed by the Tukey post hoc test and the Kruskall\u2013Wallis test were performed for statistical comparisons. The class II open-bite group had increased alveolar bone height for the maxillary first molar and decreased alveolar bone height for mandibular molars compared to the class II non-open-bite group (p &lt; 0.05 for both). Furthermore, there were significant negative correlations between the alveolar bone heights of the upper first and second molars (A6-height, A7-height) and overbite (both p &lt; 0.01). The alveolar thicknesses of all measured teeth were generally reduced in the class II OB group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13010039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,23]],"date-time":"2022-12-23T03:02:15Z","timestamp":1671764535000},"page":"39","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Three-Dimensional Analysis of Alveolar Bone Morphological Characteristics in Skeletal Class II Open Bite Malocclusion: A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yingying","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases and Biomedical Sciences, Chongqing Municipal Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedical Engineering of Higher Education, Chongqing 401147, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingfeng","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases and Biomedical Sciences, Chongqing Municipal Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedical Engineering of Higher Education, Chongqing 401147, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yun","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases and Biomedical Sciences, Chongqing Municipal Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedical Engineering of Higher Education, Chongqing 401147, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yumei","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases and Biomedical Sciences, Chongqing Municipal Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedical Engineering of Higher Education, Chongqing 401147, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing 400016, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6398-8920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Baraa","family":"Daraqel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases and Biomedical Sciences, Chongqing Municipal Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedical Engineering of Higher Education, Chongqing 401147, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leilei","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases and Biomedical Sciences, Chongqing Municipal Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedical Engineering of Higher Education, Chongqing 401147, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"337","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9416(64)90175-7","article-title":"Open-bite: Diagnosis and treatment","volume":"50","author":"Subtelny","year":"1964","journal-title":"Am.
