Cone Beam CT Assessment of Bone Width of Upper and Lower Jaws for Dental Implant Placement: An Iraqi Study

Figure 1

(a) Horizontal line: a line was drawn horizontally from the buccal to palatal/lingual surfaces at the location of the ridges. (b) Bone thickness of buccal and palatal/lingual walls was measured vertically to the root in dentate regions through coronal view at four points: crestal bone thickness (P1), midroot bone thickness (P2), middle of the alveolar bone housing (P3), and apical portion of the tooth bone thickness (P4). (c) Alveolar ridge thickness in edentulous regions at three points: crestal ridge thickness (EP1), second point 5 mm from crestal (EP2), and third point 10 mm from crestal (EP3).
