Introduction: The purpose of this study is to measure and evaluate the thickness of Facial and palatal alveolar bone and bony curvature of maxillary anterior teeth to provide valuable guidelines for choosing proper implant fixture with regards to diameter, length and axis of surgical drilling procedure and anatom¬ical dimensions of the buccal bone wall of the aesthetic maxillary anterior region for immediate implant placement, based on CBCT images. Material and methods: The study consist of total number of 100 Petients which are devided into Two main groups Group =A (Male) And Group=B (Female) aged between 20 to 40 years of agehaving all the maxillary anterior teeth without any periodontal diseases and systemically healthy, dentulous patients are selected for the study. Results: Comparison of the mean values of facial bone, palatal bone and alveolar bone width of left and right maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor and canine are measured and evaluated we found that canine has more bone thickness as compared to central incisors and lateral incisors and there is no statistical deference between males and female and left and right side of maxilla. Conclusion: The results of this study may provide insight on the usefulness of CBCT in providing a base line data for selecting the appropriate site for implant placement in terms of facial bone and palatal bone thickness, alveolar bone width. CBCT enables accurate measurement of bone quality and quantity along with measuring the distance from anatomic structures, due to its three dimensional nature. CBCT proves to be a valuable diagnostic aid in pre implant radiological assessment.
