Study of Soft Tissue Volume and Alveolar Ridge Classes to Improve Dental Implant Treatment

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the relationship between soft tissue volume and tomographic alveolar ridge classes to improve the classification system for dental implant treatment. This study addresses the current lack of soft tissue components in alveolar ridge topography classifications, which are important for periodontal, restorative, implant, and orthodontic treatments. The goal is to incorporate soft tissue volumetric evaluation into the classification system. Participants will receive oral hygiene instructions and dental cleaning if needed. Digital photographs, intraoral scans, and CBCT scans will be taken as part of the dental implant treatment protocol. A dentist will measure clinical parameters such as gingival biotype, probing depth, gingival thickness, and gingival width. After data collection, a customized treatment plan and dental implant treatment will be completed for each patient. During the study, participants will undergo imaging and clinical assessments to measure soft tissue volume and alveolar ridge classes. Researchers will track the relationship between these measurements over three months as the primary outcome. The study involves comprehensive dental evaluation and treatment planning, including oral hygiene monitoring and clinical parameter evaluation to ensure accurate data collection and treatment.
