Cone beam analysis of the buccal bone associated with a dental implant: A tridimensional assessment case report.

OBJECTIVE: This case report presents cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) three-dimensional (3D) assessment of the buccal bone associated with an implant.

METHOD AND MATERIALS: A patient who had immediate implant replacement of a maxillary incisor received a CBCT examination after 6 months. The scanned volume was then subjected to segmentation of the buccal bone associated with the implant and to its three-dimensional rendering.

RESULTS: Virtual reconstruction allowed volumetric assessment of the buccal plate, and of the buccal marginal bone level.

CONCLUSION: Creating a 3D virtual volume permits a comprehensive evaluation of the anatomical information contained in the CBCT dataset.
