Impact of Buccal Bone Arch Contour on Bone Remodeling and Esthetics in Guided Bone Regeneration: A Retrospective Study
The buccal bone arch contour provides an individualized reference for determining the appropriate bone graft volume and implant position. Placing the implant at least 2 mm palatally from the contour and augmenting bone grafts to exceed the contour by at least 1 mm appears to be a practical and effective strategy.
