CBCT Analysis of Edentulous Mandibular Symphysis in Iraqi Patients for Treatment with Implant-Supported Overdentures. Cross-Sectional Single-Center Study.

Background: Overdentures supported by dental implants are a useful treatment strategy for patients with edentulous mandibles. The aim of this study was to evaluate certain characteristics of the mandibular symphyseal edentulous cases for dental implant treatment using CBCT; and if it is associated with gender differences.

Methods: Ninety patients (45 females and 45 males) were included in this investigation.

Cone Beam CT Assessment of Bone Width of Upper and Lower Jaws for Dental Implant Placement: An Iraqi Study.

Background: Implantology focuses on the measurement of bone thickness in both the lower and upper jaws. This study aimed to measure and compare alveolar bone thickness of the upper and lower jaws at single edentate sites and cortical bone thickness of their mesial and distal dentate sites.

Methods: Thickness of alveolar bone thickness was measured in 80 upper and 80 lower implant edentate sites and that of buccal and lingual cortical plates of their mesial and distal dentate sites using Cone beam CT.

Evaluation of Cortical Bone Thickness of Posterior Implant Sites Using CBCT in Iraqi Population.

Background: Cortical bone thickness (CBT) is a critical factor for implant success and for determining the long-term dental implant treatment outcome.

Objectives: The objective of this investigation was to examine posterior cortical bone thickness buccally and lingually in dentate and edentulous implant sites according to gender.

Materials And Methods: CBT of 160 patients requiring a single posterior tooth implant was investigated by CBCT.

Thickness of the Buccal and Alveolar Bones Overlying Central Incisors: A Radiographic Iraqi Study.

Background: Initial bone thickness has a substantial impact on the success of dental implant treatments. The objective of the current study was to analyze the thickness of the buccal and alveolar bone at the central incisors using CBCT in relation to gender and side to determine the anatomical features and choose the best implant treatment option for minimizing the surgical complications.

Methods: One hundred CBCT images were investigated (50 females and 50 males, aged 20 to 50 years old).

Radiographical investigation of the condylar position using three-dimensional imaging (a comparative Iraqi study).

Objective: To investigate the condylar position in an Iraqi sample of patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) using cone beam computed tomography.

Methods: The study included 20 patients with temporomandibular disorders and 20 healthy patients with normal temporomandibular joints (40 individuals in total). Reference landmarks from the sagittal aspect were used to measure various straight distances between the glenoid fossa and condyle, such as the anterior, posterior, and superior joint spaces.
