Purpose: To investigate the association between the orofacial implant position distance (ID) and facial bone crest thickness (FBCT) in single-tooth implant crowns (STICs) placed in the esthetic zone and to predict the presence of facial bone above the implant shoulder, as well as its impact on Pink and White Esthetic Scores (PES and WES) and patient-related outcome measures (PROMs).
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, all patients treated with STICs in the esthetic zone between 2006 and 2013 with at least 12 months postloading were invited to enroll. CBCTs were used to assess ID and FBCT.
Objective: In dentistry, imaging is the most frequently used diagnostic tool. As a result, a steady increase in the use of imaging modalities are leading to an increase in healthcare cost and in patients' radiation exposure.
Results: 67-year-old patient attended for a surgical removal of lower left third molar.
