Cone beam computed tomography analysis of maxillary vestibular bone thickness in the esthetic region

Background/Aim. Insufficient bone thickness (thickness less than 2 mm) frequently leads to fenestration and dehiscence, leading additional resorption. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is becoming a priority in the diagnosis of needed for implant placement. It has proven be an accurate largely reliable diagnostic tool image morphology buccal wall thickness. The aim this study was measure vestibular anterior maxillary region Serbian population compare difference between men women, left right sides jaw. Methods. CBCT images 68 patients were examined from existing database. length cemento-enamel junction beginning alveolar measured, followed by at various clinically relevant locations. Results. data statistically processed, analyzing total 373 teeth frontal upper jaw, including 128 central incisors, 124 lateral incisors 121 canines. analysis showed that more 88% cases 1.5 mm all reference points, with mean values 0.72 1.02 mm. Conclusion. A very small number have > mm; therefore, criterion provide least placement difficult meet. This increases use auxiliary methods augmentation during immediate
