“…15 Also, recent studies indicate that ridge mapping is an accurate indicator of available bone width when compared with other radiographic methods. [16][17][18][19][20][21] From the present study, it can be concluded that ridge mapping is a significant diagnostic tool for the preoperative assessment of available bone width which can be performed chairside, economical and without any radiation exposure. Use of bone caliper or guides prepared using thermoplastic resin or auto polymerizing acrylic resin yields the same clinical results.…”

Aim:The most important parameter to assess prior to implant fixture placement is the available bone width. Radiographic techniques have been found to be inadequate in providing this valuable information, unlike clinical techniques. The purpose of the present study was to determine the accuracy of various clinical techniques of ridge mapping before implant fixture placement. Materials and methods: Ten patients with at least two missing teeth adjacent to each other were selected for the study. Direct and indirect techniques of ridge mapping were carried out to assess the available bone width. Results: The data obtained were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's Post Hoc analysis. The results indicate that there is no significant difference between direct and indirect technique of ridge mapping. Conclusion:Either direct or indirect technique of ridge mapping can be used to assess the width of available bone before implant fixture placement. Clinical significance: Clinical techniques of ridge mapping are handy and can be carried out chairside with ease and less cost and no radiation exposure. Indirect techniques of ridge mapping provide adequate and reliable data regarding bone width just like direct technique. In the absence of a bone mapping caliper, this technique can be used as a diagnostic procedure before implant placement. And during the indirect technique, any material can be utilized with equal efficacy for the fabrication of the guides.

“…In this study, CBCT is taken as the gold standard for alveolar ridge mapping, as many researchers have proved it to be a standard modality for the measurement of available bone for implant planning. All three methods of ridge mapping were compared with the CBCT [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Background: The success of any dental implant surgery depends on the correct diagnosis and treatment planning. Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the dimensions of the alveolar ridge width using different techniques for implant placement. Materials and methods: The study involved 27 partially edentulous subjects aged 18-50, including males and females. In this study, the dimensions of the ridge were evaluated by ridge mapping on a cast, ridge mapping using a bone caliper, and ridge mapping with the help of an occlusal radiograph. All three methods were compared with ridge mapping by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). For each subject, the site of implant placement was marked on the study model. Alveolar ridge measurement was done in the mouth by a bone caliper under local anesthesia with the help of a stent with a hole. Ridge mapping on a cast was done after sectioning the cast and marking with the help of a periodontal probe and stent. Ridge mapping was done on an occlusal radiograph by converting an acetate stent into a radiographic stent. Finally, CBCT was taken for each patient for ridge mapping. All four readings were tabulated. Results: Comparing the mean alveolar ridge width of four groups, ANOVA showed significantly different alveolar ridge width among the groups (F=7.89, p<0.001). The validity (accuracy and precision) of ridge mapping on a cast, ridge mapping using a bone caliper, and occlusal radiograph against the CBCT (gold standard) was done using concordance correlation analysis. The concordance correlation analysis showed the highest association (ρ=0.8196) and precision (ϸ=82.61%) of ridge mapping using a bone caliper with CBCT. However, the accuracy of ridge mapping on a cast (Cb=99.42%) was the highest, followed by ridge mapping using a bone caliper (Cb=82.61%). The analysis concluded that both techniques are equivalent to CBCT and can be used interchangeably. Conclusion: The mean alveolar ridge width of the occlusal radiograph was the highest, followed by CBCT, ridge mapping on a cast, and ridge mapping using a bone caliper the least (occlusal radiograph > CBCT > ridge mapping on cast >ridge mapping using bone caliper). But at the same time, it can also be used interchangeably.

“…2 Bone evaluation limited to the use of panoramic and/or periapical radiographs may be insufficient because it only provides two-dimensional information about implant sites. 3 The third dimension, i.e., the buccolingual width, can be assessed with the help of methods like ridge mapping and also with modern diagnostic aids, such as computerized tomography (CT).…”

Aim: Assessing the accuracy of surgical guides generated with the help of a simple chair side ridge mapping technique by comparing the planned implant position with the achieved implant position on post-op computerized tomography scans. Materials and methods: In this study, 20 implant sites in patients were selected. Ridge mapping was done through a vacuum press template at three buccal (B1, B2, B3), three lingual (L1, L2, L3), and one crestal (C) points for each implant site. Readings were transferred onto the cast, and surgical guides were fabricated for implant placement. Postoperative cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) was done to assess planned and achieved implant position. Comparison was done between soft tissue depths and implant distance from the crest of alveolar bone determined by the ridge mapping technique with measurements done on CBCT. The points used for ridge mapping were used as the reference for measurements. The data were analyzed using paired t test. p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: On comparing the mean values of soft tissue depths from the ridge mapping and CBCT data, insignificant differences were found at B1, B2, L1, L2, L3, and C, but significant differences were found at B3. On comparing the implant distances from alveolar bone from both the data, insignificant differences were found at B, B2, B3, L1, L2, and L3 and significant difference was found at the crest in the mean values. Conclusion: Under the limitations of the above study, it can be concluded that a simple chairside procedure like ridge mapping can be used as an effective way for guided implant placement in sufficient available alveolar bone.
