About

Despite the importance of soft tissue dimensions for periodontal, restorative, implant, and orthodontic treatment, the current classifications of tomographic alveolar ridge topography lack the soft tissue component(Tolstunov, 2014). Therefore, the present study will be to evaluate the relationship between soft tissue volume and the dimensions & tomographic alveolar ridge classes as well as to incorporate the soft tissue volumetric evaluation in the classification system.
