The anterior maxilla is a particularly challenging area for immediate implant placement due to its thin buccal bone walls. These walls are more susceptible to resorption after tooth extraction, which can lead to significant bone loss and inadequate support for an implant. However, Different socket dimension may affect the amount of bone formed labial to the implant, regardless of the garfting procedure.
Bone formation labial to the immediate implant is not related to the initial thick- ness of the labial plate of bone, rather than the initial labio-palatal socket dimension. this study aims to evaluate the bone formed labial to the implant following a Novel Socket Evaluation System.
