Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Evaluation of the Submandibular Fossa in a Group of Dental Implant Patients

Conclusions: Mandibles with any lingual concavity pose a potential increased risk of lingual cortical perforation during surgery. This study revealed that the alveolar bone resorption occurs both vertically and horizontally, and the preservation of teeth can limit the bone resorption.
