Evaluation of Cortical Bone Thickness of Posterior Implant Sites Using CBCT in Iraqi Population

Figure 2

(a) Horizontal line (H) drawing at bone ridge level from the buccal to the palate wall. (b) Alveolar bone thickness at dentate sites in the coronal plane, measured perpendicular to three different levels of the long axis of the root on buccal and lingual walls, respectively: crestal bone level (DB1, DL1), mid root level (DB2, DL2), and apical bone level (DB3, DL3). (c) Cortical bone thickness measured for edentulous sites at the three levels: crestal bone thickness (E1), bone thickness 5 mm from E1 (E2), and bone thickness 10 mm from E1 (E3). ^# DB: dentate for buccal side and DL: dentate for lingual side.
