A Non-Invasive and Accurate Measurement of Gingival Thickness Using Cone-Beam Computerized Imaging for the Assessment of Planning Immediate Implant in the Esthetic Zone-A Pig Jaw Model

摘要

Introduction: The objective of the study is to compare the accuracy of the measurement of gingival thickness using cone-beam computerized tomography ( CBCT) with direct clinical measurement on a pig jaw model, aiming to provide an alternate and precise method to aid assessment of the gingival biotype before immediate implant placement at the esthetic zone.
