Assessment of bone regeneration in the esthetic zone with resorbable and non- resorbable membrane «A Comparative randomized clinical study»

Abstract

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Collapse of the alveolar bone following extraction, infection, trauma or aplasia may result in reduced bone volume, hence affecting long term success of dental implant. The hallmark of assessing residual bone for dental implant placement has become cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). It is an effective, non-invasive technique with high spatial resolution and relatively low radiation for assessment of dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge.
