Measuring the thickness of buccal cortical bone of maxillary premolar teeth by cone beam computed tomography technique
Immediate implant placement following tooth extraction is a treatment with many advantages. Alveolar bone preservation after immediate implant, need minimum of 2 mm thickness in buccal bone plate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the thickness of buccal cortical bone of maxillary premolars by Cone Beam Computational Tomography (CBCT) technique.
In this descriptive epidemiological study, Cone Beam Computed Tomography image was obtained from 29 patients(male and female) referred to the radiology department of Jundi Shapoor dental school of Ahvaz from 1393 (Mehr) to 1394 (Shahrivar) for implant insertion. The thickness of buccal cortical bone was measured in 3 and 5 mm optical to the CEJ and root apex, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. All the measurements were done by two oral and maxillofacial radiologists, separately. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22 software, descriptive statistics, and T-Test.
The thickness of buccal cortical bone in second premolar was significantly more than 1 mm (P=0.001), but in first premolar, the thickness was close to 1 mm (P=0.29).
The results of this study showed that immediate implant insertion could be done in the maxillary second premolar area with more predictability compared to the first premolar area.
