Abstract: Careful planning is essential for a successful outcome of dental implants. Determining the size of the implant and placement angle requires precise knowledge of the alveolar bone's height, width, shape, and density surrounding the intended implant location. Hence the goal of the current research was to use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the anterior maxilla's bone state for dental implant insertion. The study included 30 patients, both male and female, who had CBCT scans of their anterior maxilla and needed dental implants in their maxillary anterior teeth. Measuring parameters included buccal undercut position and depth, as well as bone height and width. When comparing the canine region to the incisors, the mean bone height and width was higher. Buccal undercut, however, was more for the incisor region. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
