Abstract:
An important aspect of surgical diagnosis before implant placement is measurement of the width of the alveolar ridge. Besides the use of radiographic methods, alveolar crest width can be measured by ridge mapping. A ridge mapping technique using a specially designed caliper (Ultimapper) is presented. Results of a research investigation are presented, which suggest that the technique is reliable and easily performed.
