Alveolar ridge alterations in the maxillary anterior region after tooth extraction through orthodontic forced eruption for implant site development: a clinical CBCT study.

CONCLUSIONS: OFE resulted in favourable increase in the heights of the palatal and proximal alveolar bone and significant reduction in the buccal plate height, which inhibited implant placement in 35% of the treated sockets. PMID: 31081905 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
