Table 3 Horizontal initial bone thickness (BW’) and the gap distance between the extraction socket and implant (DW) at the preoperative stage

From: CBCT analysis of the tissue thickness at immediate implant placement with contour augmentation in the maxillary anterior zone: a 1-year prospective clinical study

Measurement	Preoperative
Measurement	Median (Min; Max) mm	Mean (SD) mm
DW	1.95 (0.6; 3.0)	1.89 (0.74)
BW’	0.60 (0; 2.0)	0.61 (0.60)

DW The distance from the implant surface to the root surface, BW’ The horizontal width of the facial alveolar bone
