Purpose: Peri-implant bone thickness is an important local factor that could influence
esthetic outcomes in immediate implant therapy. The aim of this study was to assess the
thickness of the buccal bone overlying the anterior maxillary teeth in Kenyans. Materials and
Methods: A total of 184 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans that met the
inclusion criteria were retrospectively studied. Buccal bone thickness of all maxillary anterior
teeth was assessed, resulting in a total of 1,104 teeth. Measurements were taken on sagittal …

Introduction. The aim of this study was to assess the buccal bone thickness in anterior
maxillary and mandibular teeth and to provide information important during immediate
implant placement. Material and Methods. The study included 245 cone-beam computed
tomography scans. The buccal bone thickness was measured in the sagittal plane of the
maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth at five points (M1-M5)(2 mm apart), starting 2 mm
from the cementoenamel junction in the coronal to apical position along the roots. Results …
