Was insignificantly higher in males than in females, excluding the symphyseal region.Ĭonclusion: Analysis of the characteristics of BH and BW by CBCT enables a dentist to achieve a higher degree ofĪccuracy during the implant placement and to select the appropriate implant design.(International Journal of Biomedicine.Įvaluate circumferential bone level and morphological alterations in the posterior mandibular ridge of atrophic (AP) and non-atrophic (NAP) patients using implant-retained mandibular overdentures (MO) over 3 years.Materials and methodsTwenty-six edentulous patients categorized according to mandibular atrophy (AP = 13/NAP = 13) received two narrow diameter implants (Facility, 2.9 × 10 mm) in the anterior region of mandible. Male patients had significantly higher residual bone in the mandible. Measured in the right side premolar region. The highest mean value of residual bone width (BW) was measured in the symphyseal region, while the lowest value was

Residual bone height (BH) was measured in the symphyseal region, while the lowest value was measured in the right side molar Was measured on 7 sites of the mandible, whereas the width of residual bone was measured on 5 sites. Methods and Results: A CBCT was performed on 60 patients, edentulous for more than 5 years. The aim of this study was to assess patients with anĮdentulous mandible with regards to the height and width dimensions in molar, premolar, and symphyseal regions using Cone Background: Residual ridge resorption is a chronic, progressive, irreversible process, and poses a clinical challenge toįinding the appropriate methods and treatments for edentulous patients.
