Table 3.
Relationship between BMC% and bone quality for different miniscrew dimensions.
| Bone quality and quantity parameters | Dimension of miniscrew (diameter × length in mm) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.4 × 8 | 1.5 × 6 | 1.5 × 8 | 1.5 × 10 | 1.6 × 8 | |
| Cortical bone thickness from CBCT | 0.830 | 0.802 | 0.855 | 0.843 | 0.828 |
| Cortical bone thickness from micro-CT | 0.871 | 0.856 | 0.775 | 0.878 | 0.877 |
| GV from CBCT | 0.694 | 0.577 | 0.608 | 0.702 | 0.776 |
| BV/TV from Micro-CT | 0.696 | 0.373 | 0.662 | 0.584 | 0.662 |
Except for the relationship between BV/TV measured from micro-CT and BMC% in the 1.5 × 6 mm group, all relationships had P values less than 0.05.
