Jaw bone measurement evaluation in fully and partially edentulous patients of retirement age

The authors of this article have studied 200 jaw bone CT scans of fully and partially edentulous patients of retirement age. The study identified the minimum, maximum and average values of residual alveolar ridge separately for men and women. The conclusions were made about the possibility of installing dental implants in those patients without using bone grafting. The most favorable conditions for that were found in male patients. According to the study, the most optimal parameters of residual alveolar ridge for the installation of screw dental implants, found on mandible.
