Measurement of alveolar bone height and width in the newly formed edentulous area. (A) Sagittal image from the experimental group. The green line was rotated through the canine’s distal cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the third premolar’s mesial CEJ; (B) Sagittal image from the experimental group. The distance between point A and point B is the height of alveolar bone at a distance 5 mm from the mesial CEJ of the third premolar. The distance between point C and point D is the height of alveolar bone at a distance 6 mm from the mesial CEJ of the third premolar; (C) The green straight line was 2 mm, 3 and 4 mm away from point C; (D) Measurement of alveolar bone width on the coronal image (the distance between point A and point B)
