Classification of alveolar bone destruction patterns on maxillary molars by using cone-beam computed tomography

Conclusions: The most appropriate treatment option may be decided through accurate imaging of periodontal defect morphology. CBCT can provide comprehensive information about the remaining alveolar bone structures. In this way, the need for dental implant can be prevented in many cases and be replaced with a more conservative approach on the maxillary molar region.
