Description
Lina Khayyal and four co-authors measure the bone around front upper teeth to guide same-day implant placement. When a front tooth is lost, patients want a replacement fast, but thin bone can sink the plan. Their 2026 study used cone-beam scans of adults with healthy front teeth. The team measured bone thickness on the lip side and the palate side at three depths along the root. They also scored the curve of the bone and the tilt of each tooth.
Scans with damage, fillings, implants, or bone loss were set aside, so the numbers reflect sound anatomy. Maps like these tell surgeons where an implant can grip and where grafting is wise first. The authors frame the work as a planning atlas for a common, high-stakes dental task.
