Evaluation of buccal bone resorption in immediate implant placement in thin versus thick buccal bone plates: An 18‐month follow‐up prospective cohort study

The current guidelines recommend that immediate implants be placed in patients with thick (>1 mm) buccal bone due to the inevitable tissue remodeling that follows tooth extraction. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of buccal bone thickness on bone resorption in immediate implant placement and compare two measuring techniques of the aforementioned resorption.
