Abstract
Correct tooth position in all planes of space while respecting the boundaries of the underlying bone is important
for stability of teeth after orthodontic treatment as well as the health of the supporting periodontium. 1 2 The aim
of this study was to determine: 1) if mandibular posterior teeth are more centered over basal bone when they are
more upright or close to WALA Ridge norms proposed by Andrews 3 ; 2) if mandibular posterior teeth are more
centered in alveolar bone when they are more upright or close to the WALA Ridge norms; 3) if the estimated
center of resistance mandibular posterior teeth is most often centered in alveolar bone; and 4) if the WALA Ridge
is located at or near the estimated center of resistance of mandibular posterior teeth. A sample of 34 pre-
treatment CBCT scans and mandibular casts of patients ages 12–18 were included in the study. CBCT scans were
digitized and analyzed using the Carestream 3D Imaging Software Version 3.5.7. Casts were digitally scanned
using the Ortho Insight 3D scanner. The WALA Ridge horizontal measurements were made using the Six
Elements™ software (MotionView, Chattanooga, TN). The WALA Ridge vertical measurements were obtained
from the casts using a digital caliper. Coronal CBCT images were used to measure tooth positions of pre-
treatment mandibular posterior teeth relative to surrounding bone. Centeredness of teeth within the bone was
quantified and compared to their inclination and to the WALA Ridge location: D1, D2, D3 and D4. Data were
analyzed using the JMP version 10 SAS Software. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate the mean, standard
deviation, minimum, and maximum values for the distance between WALA Ridge vertical and CR, D2, D3 and D4
for each of the posterior teeth. Single linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship
between both the long axis inclination and WALA Ridge variables compared to the D1, D2, D3, variables. No
statistical significance was found for centeredness of mandibular posterior teeth over basal bone when they were
more upright or approached WALA Ridge norms. No statistical significance was found for centeredness of
mandibular posterior teeth in alveolar bone when they were more upright or approached the WALA Ridge norms.
Significant differences were found for the mandibular posterior teeth center of resistance being centered in the
alveolar bone regardless of the long axis inclination or WALA Ridge norms (p-value <0.05). Significant
differences were also found for the Wala Ridge being located at or near the center of resistance of mandibular
posterior teeth (p-value <0.05). 1) More upright mandibular posterior teeth based on long axis inclination or
mandibular posterior teeth more closely related to the WALA Ridge landmark are not more centered over basal
bone. 2) More upright mandibular posterior teeth based on long axis inclination or teeth more closely related to
the WALA Ridge landmark are not more centered in alveolar bone. 3) The center of resistance of all mandibular
posterior teeth can most often be found in the center of the alveolar bone regardless of inclination. 4) The WALA
Ridge is located at or near the center of resistance for all mandibular posterior teeth. 5) The WALA Ridge may be
a useful landmark for customizing mandibular arch form if teeth are tipped to an upright position.

Introduction
Correct tooth position in all planes of space while respecting the boundaries of the underlying bone is important
for stability of teeth after orthodontic treatment as well as the health of the supporting periodontium. 1 2 Despite
all the research over many decades, clinicians are still divided, leading to debate on extraction versus non-
extraction. 3 It is generally believed that when tooth mass is too small relative to basal bone, interdental spacing
or diastemas will likely occur. Conversely, if the basal bone in the body of the mandible is too small relative to
tooth mass, teeth will be crowded. To this point, successful alignment of the teeth, among other factors, is
dependent on the size of the basal bone in relation to the tooth mass. 4 Does this mean that teeth should be
centered over basal bone?
The term “basal bone” has been used loosely for decades to describe the bone over which teeth should be
positioned to obtain stability for both function and health. According to several authors, basal bone is the bone
that underlies, supports, and is continuous with the alveolar process. 5 The term “apical base” was first
introduced by Lundstrom in 1923 but failed to stimulate a sufficient response until Tweed presented the concept
again in 1944 as “basal bone”. 6 Tweed defined basal bone as the bony ridge over which the mandibular central
incisors must be situated to produce permanence of orthodontic results. The focus of Tweed's research was to
find the most stable lower incisor position relative to the underlying basal bone to prevent post orthodontic
relapse.
Lundstrom (1925) theorized that the apical base did not change to fit the normal occlusion but rather the
establishment of normal occlusion was controlled by the apical base. 7 In contrast Damon 8 (2005) suggested
that the use of light continuous orthodontic force could be used in crowded cases to expand the alveolar bone and
maintain its integrity. Previous studies including Howes 9 (1947) and Downs 10 (1948) have attempted to locate
basal bone with little consensus. Not surprisingly, confusion still exists among clinicians and researchers as to the
location of basal bone and its true relevance to stable clinical orthodontic treatment.
The Six Elements of Orofacial Harmony™ developed by Andrews presents a set of parameters and guidelines to
aid in obtaining optimal goals for the teeth, arches, and jaws. 11 Element I states that an optimal arch exists when
teeth are centered over basal bone and the clinical crowns are optimally inclined so that the occlusal surfaces can
interface and function ideally with the teeth in the opposing arch. 12 Andrews proposed using the WALA Ridge
to serve as a landmark for assessing mandibular arch form (size and shape) which in turn can provide a template
for the maxillary arch form. The WALA Ridge is a band of soft tissue immediately coronal to the mucogingival
junction of the mandible and suggested to be at or near the level of the center of resistance of the teeth ( Fig.1
(fig0001) ). 12 This landmark aids the clinician in establishing the correct arch form leading to the most ideal
tooth position in the mandible relative to the basal bone. 12

The objectives of this study were to investigate 1) if mandibular posterior teeth are more centered over basal bone
when they are more upright or close to the WALA Ridge norms; 2) if mandibular posterior teeth are more
centered in alveolar bone when they are more upright or close to the WALA Ridge norms; 3) if the estimated
center of resistance of mandibular posterior teeth is most often centered in alveolar bone; and 4) if the WALA
Ridge is located at or near the estimated center of resistance of mandibular molar and premolar teeth.
The CBCT scans were digitized and analyzed using the Carestream 3D Imaging Software Version 3.5.7.
Mandibular casts were digitally scanned using the Ortho Insight 3D scanner (MotionView Software, Chattanooga,
TN). The WALA Ridge horizontal was measured using the Six Elements of Orofacial Harmony™ software
(MotionView Software, Chattanooga, TN). Coronal CBCT images were used to measure tooth positions of pre-
treatment molars and premolars.

Results
Descriptive statistics
Descriptive statistics were used to determine the mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum a p-values
for each of the variables ( Tables 4 (tbl0004) & 5 (tbl0005) ). Table 4 (tbl0004) shows that using a one-sample t-test
there was statistical significance (p-value < .05) for all four variables (P1-D4), (P2-D4), (M1-D4), and (M2-D4).
Table 5 (tbl0005) summarizes the variables assessing the centeredness of the center of resistance to alveolar bone
(D1), the apex point to alveolar bone (D2), and the apex point to basal bone (D3). The results show statistical
significance (p-value < .05) for all points except (P1-D3), (P2-D2), and (M1-D2). Although most variables were
small numbers several were relatively larger either in mean or standard deviation (P1-D3), (P2-D3), M1-D3),
(M2-D3).

The variable DWALA shows no correlation for any posterior teeth at the center of resistance location (D1). At

show no correlation. At the level of the basal bone the second molar (M2) has statistical significance with a p-
value of 0.032. P1, P2, and M1 show no correlation.
As for correlation between the long axis inclination and DWALA, significant differences (p-value <0.05) were
found for the second premolar (P2) and first molar (M1). P2 had a p-value of 0.0414. M1 had a p-value of
<0.0001 showing very strong correlation. There was no correlation found for the first premolar (P1) or second
molar (M2). P1 had a p-value of 0.7985 and M2 with a p-value of 0.1387.
Discussion
This study specifically investigated the concept that more ideally inclined mandibular posterior teeth have roots
more centered over basal bone and more centered in alveolar bone. In addition, it examined the proposal by
Andrews regarding use of the WALA Ridge as an anatomic landmark for defining an optimal mandibular arch
form with teeth at ideal inclination and roots centered over basal bone and within alveolar bone.
Previous studies provided strong evidence of a highly significant statistical correlation between the FA Points of
mandibular crowns and the WALA Ridge. 13 The current study did not support statistically Andrews's proposal
that mandibular teeth aligned to the WALA Ridge had roots more centered in alveolar bone or over basal bone.
However, findings did indicate clinical significance that the tooth center of resistance was centered in the alveolar
bone. In addition, the current study likewise found clinical significance that the estimated vertical position of the
center of resistance of the teeth and the vertical position of the WALA Ridge coincided for all teeth, the means
and standard deviations being less than 1.0 mm.
In light of these findings, it is perhaps worth considering a broader perspective on traditionally accepted concepts
of optimal root position over/in bone as well as the possible usefulness of the WALA Ridge as a landmark for
clinically defining the mandibular arch form (size and shape).

“Basal bone” appears to be a term uniquely used in orthodontics. Anatomists are generally not familiar with the
term and find no structural or histologic difference between alveolar bone and the bone it resides upon. As seen
in Fig.11 (fig0011) , it is tempting to define bone remaining after resorption of alveolar bone in an edentulous
patient as “basal bone” and tempting to make a subjective assumption that optimally positioned teeth are
centered over this bone. Interestingly, note the absence of significant “basal bone” in the edentulous maxilla.
Figure11
Edentulous maxilla and mandible.
The concept of centeredness seems to often work well for incisors ( Fig.12 (fig0012) ). Frequently the symphysis
and alveolar process is a tear-dropped form and our sense of symmetry fits well with the concept of
“centeredness” of the root position. Other images display an alveolar process and incisor root position that make
it difficult to suggest an optimal position of the root over the oblique underlying symphyseal bone ( Fig.13 (fig0013)
). Furthermore, while the tear-dropped incisor/chin form is common, examination of posterior teeth associated
alveolar bone and the underlying bone rarely demonstrate a symmetrical form ( Fig.14 (fig0014) ). In fact, the
alveolar process anatomically appears somewhat cantilevered from the underlying bone ( Fig.15 (fig0015) ).

Before additional discussion, it is worth noting that the current study found the centers of resistance of
mandibular posterior teeth were centered in alveolar bone and were also correlated to the WALA Ridge vertically.
With consideration of previous studies showing the highly significant correlation between the WALA Ridge and
the FApoints of crowns, 8 a strong argument can bemade for the usefulness of the WALA Ridge for defining an
optimal mandibular arch form insize and shape (the “centeredness” of the rootover the basal bone and within the
alveolar bone aside). Biomechanically, a single buccally applied force to a tooth crown will result in tipping of the

tooth near the center of resistance of the tooth ( Fig.16 (fig0016) ). Therefore, arch wires shaped to the WALA Ridge
in concept would tip teeth to an upright position with the center of resistance remaining centered in the alveolar
bone.
Figure16
Buccally applied force which would cause a tipping movement with a moment and a center of rotation near a center of resistance.
Further discussion suggests that the concept of root “centeredness” over basal bone and in alveolar bone may be a
subjective and unsubstantiated objective for orthodontists to treatment plan. Certainly, it may be useful to
eliminate use of the term “basal bone”. The eruption of teeth is what develops alveolar bone; teeth do not erupt
into alveolar bone. In addition, there is wide variation in the thickness of the dentoalveolar process among
patients. Consideration should be given to a perspective that equal amounts of alveolar bone on the buccal and
lingual of roots, or “centeredness”, is perhaps not essential as long as there is adequate bone. Certain
compromised periodontal conditions can be managed with periodontal therapy if necessary. From a stability
perspective, the value of maintaining a root's center of resistance centered in alveolar bone while only tipping the
tooth to an upright position is certainly worth attention.
Additional significance to this notion is apparent from awareness that tipping posterior teeth to an upright
position can define a customized mandibular arch form (size and shape) unique to each individual. An existing
optimal or corrected mandibular arch form derived in this manner can serve as a template for a preferred
maxillary arch form in size and shape. As seen in a Fig.17 (fig0017) schematic, upright mandibular posterior teeth
in crossbite with upright maxillary posterior teeth is a condition indicating a maxillary skeletal transverse
discrepancy and a need for skeletal expansion. Likewise, Fig.18 (fig0018) shows lingually inclined mandibular
posterior teeth not in crossbite with upright maxillary posterior teeth. This also indicates a condition for
maxillary skeletal expansion if the mandibular posterior teeth are tipped buccally to an upright position. Fig.19
(fig0019) depicts a condition with no crossbite, upright mandibular posterior teeth, and buccally inclined maxillary
posterior teeth. Maxillary transverse skeletal expansion is needed if the maxillary teeth are tipped palatally to an
upright position. Fig.20 (fig0020) shows a situation where there is no crossbite but maxillary teeth are inclined
buccally and mandibular posterior teeth are inclined lingually, an indication for maxillary skeletal expansion if

teeth in both arches are tipped to upright positions. And finally, Fig.21 (fig0021) depicts a condition where
mandibular and maxillary teeth are lingually/palatally inclined and no crossbite. Buccal tipping of posterior teeth
in both arches results in no need for maxillary skeletal expansion.

In the absence of a reliable landmark for mandibular arch form, expansion and uprighting of the lower arch
involving bodily movement would move the center of resistance of the teeth buccally, potentially compromising
the periodontium, and arbitrarily dictating the maxillary transverse arch dimension.
Of note, is the relatively small values of all the data and the statistical interpretation whereby there is little clinical
significance of the differences. Additional research should repeat this type of study addressing the “centeredness”
of untreated teeth with and without optimal inclination. Also, long term prospective randomized controlled trials
investigating the “centeredness” of the center of resistance, and the long-term stability and periodontal health of
teeth with and without mandibular arch forms developed per the WALA Ridge and tipping would help clarify the
concepts.
Conclusions
1. More upright posterior teeth based on the long axis inclination are not statistically more centered in alveolar
bone or over basal bone, however, the difference is clinically insignificant.
2. Teeth more closely related to the WALA Ridge landmark are not statistically more centered in alveolar bone
or over basal bone, however, the difference is clinically insignificant.
3. The WALA Ridge landmark is within clinical significance of being located vertically at or near the center of
resistance for all posterior teeth.
4. Considering the clinical significance of the location of the center of resistance of posterior teeth in alveolar
bone and to the WALA ridge, the WALA ridge may be a useful landmark for customizing mandibular arch form
if teeth are tipped to an upright position.
