Management
Usually, there is no need for treatment, but alveoloplasty may be necessary to remove the excess alveolar bone in those who may have periodontal problems19, or if these bony protuberances cause pseudo-swelling of the lip,41 masticatory dysfunctions,19 pain or discomfort for the patient, or disturbed smile esthetics.42,43
The purpose of this paper is to present three orthodontically treated subjects with a history of TM and/or TP and formation of ABE during orthodontic treatment as well as to investigate the effect of biomechanical forces and the individual response on changes in alveolar bone thickness over time.
