If the Log Ratio value was positive, the root apex was closer to the inner boundary of the basal bone. If the Log Ratio value was negative, the root apex was closer to the external boundary of the basal bone.

SD, standard deviation; 1, central incisor; 2, lateral incisor; 3, canine; 4, first premolar; 5, second premolar; 6, first molar; 7, second molar.
