Tooth 2.4: X-ray at T0: the most apical point of the bone defect is marked and its distance (C) from the straight line (B) perpendicular to the long axis of the near tooth (A) and passing through the apex is measured.

Table 6 summarizes the values obtained from the linear measurements of the distance between the most apical point of the bone defect and the traced reference line on the X-rays both at the beginning of the orthodontic extrusion (T0) and at the end of the stabilization period (T1) for each patient examined (Figures 8 and 9).
Tooth 2.4: X-ray at T1: the most apical point of the bone defect is marked and its distance (C) from the straight line (B) perpendicular to the long axis of the near tooth (A) and passing through the apex is measured. The difference between the linear measurement T1 and T0 gives the vertical bone gain in mm.
