Postoperative assessment of incisor dental implants using cone-beam computed tomography

Abstract

The bone configuration surrounding anterior dental implants was postoperatively assessed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). In 21 patients with a mean age of 41.5 years, 36 implants placed in the incisor region were postoperatively evaluated using CBCT. The rate of bone-to-implant contact (%) was calculated. The mean rate of bone-toimplant contact on the labial side was 78.3% with and 65.3% without bone grafts. The postoperative findings of incisor implants could be assessed using CBCT.
