Buccal Bone Wall Thickness Dictates the Extent of Vertical Buccal Bone Loss Following Implant Placement: A Preclinical Study
Thin buccal bone walls (< 1 mm) were associated with greater vertical bone loss and implant surface exposure, whereas thick walls (> 1.5 mm) preserved the buccal bone better and protected the implant surface.
