Despite the importance of soft tissue dimensions for periodontal, restorative, implant, and orthodontic treatment, the current classifications of tomographic alveolar ridge topography lack the soft tissue component(Tolstunov, 2014). Therefore, the present study will be to evaluate the relationship between soft tissue volume and the dimensions \& tomographic alveolar ridge classes as well as to incorporate the soft tissue volumetric evaluation in the classification system.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
350
All subjects will receive oral hygiene instructions and, if needed. A dental cleaning of plaque and calculus. After calibration using digital photographs and digital intraoral scans, CBCT scans will be taken as a prerequisite for dental implant treatment protocol. one dentist who will not be involved in the screening phase will obtain all clinical parameters (gingival biotype, probing depth, gingival thickness, gingival width) to avoid any bias. After finishing data collection, a customized treatment plan for each patient will be performed and dental implant treatment will be completed for each patient.
