Clinical assessment of the palatal alveolar bone thickness and its correlation with the buccolingual angulation of maxillary incisors for immediate implant placement
Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research Aug 23, 2019
Do TA, et al. - In this investigation, researchers assessed palatal bone plate thickness, maxillary incisors buccolingual angulation, and the correlation between these two parameters in relation to the immediate placement of implants. CBCT images of 37 Asian patients, aged 20 to 60 years old, with no evidence of dental treatment in the maxillary incisor area were obtained and classified into groups based on sex and incisor locations. The palatal bone was significantly thicker in males than in females at the apical level of all inspected teeth and the middle level of lateral incisors. The maxillary lateral incisor's inclination showed a moderate linear negative correlation at the apical level with the palatal bone thickness. An increased buccolingual angulation of the maxillary lateral incisors was associated with a thinner palatal bone plate at the apical level in an Asian population.
