Effect of the Buccal Gap Width on Alveolar Process Reduction Following Immediate Implant Placement: A Retrospective <scp>CBCT</scp> Study
A buccal gap > 2-mm wide grafted with DBBM after IIP may preserve more than 90% of the dimensions of the alveolar process. Conversely, a grafted narrow gap frequently results in significantly reduced ridge preservation.
