There is no standard 3D protocol for objectively quantifying root changes. This doctoral thesis aimed to present and validate a novel automated approach for objectively quantifying linear and volumetric root changes on CBCT images following combined orthodontic-orthognathic surgical treatment.178enroot resorptionCBCTImagingDiagnosticorthognathicorthodonticThesis
