Radiological Evaluation of Anterior Maxilla For Immediate Implant Placement

According to the literature age and gender may be associated with differences in skeletal size, anatomy and architecture in humans. However, little is known about the synergistic effects of age and gender on the healing capacity of maxillary bones, since most of the preclinical studies are focused on each variable separately. The present study radiologically evaluated various parameters such as alveolar crest height and width, buccal bone thickness, degree of buccal undercut, and root-crest angle using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in a large patient population, and compared these parameters across different age and gender groups to analyze the effect of aging and gender on the bone morphology in the anterior maxillary region.
