The relationship between radiographic measurements of alveolar bone in posterior single-tooth edentulous regions and non-alveolar jawbones using multidetector computed tomography.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between radiographic measurements of the alveolar bone in posterior single-tooth edentulous regions and radiographic measurements of non-alveolar jawbones using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).

Methods: The sample consisted of 47 patients aged between 20 and 42 years who underwent MDCT. All patients had a posterior single-tooth edentulous region.
