Comparative Evaluation of Bone Anatomy for Ramal Implant Placement and Proximity to the Inferior Alveolar Canal in Different Facial Divergence to Assess the Ideal Site of Placement: A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study.

Objective The objective of this study is to determine the optimal location for placing the Ramal implant and assess the maximum transverse width of the ramal bone and the proximity of the implant to the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Materials and methods The CBCT scans of 30 patients were utilized in this study and its proximity to the IAC at different vertical heights (3, 5, and 7 mm) and four angles of insertion (0°, 10°, 15°, and 20°). The maximum transverse width of the ramus and the proximity to the IAC from the site of insertion were measured at three different vertical levels.
