(a) Before orthodontic treatment. (b) After orthodontic treatment and graft placement before implant placement. (c) Superimposition of T1 (gray) and T2 (red) showing the movement of the root of No. 13, the upright of No. 15, and the grafted area.

Figure 2

(a) T1 axial slice presurgery showing resorbed ridge. (b) T2 axial slice after horizontal bone graft. (c) T1 (gray) and T2 (red) axial slices superimposed showing the amount of bone gained after surgery. Because superimposition was done, the slices being compared are exactly the same. CBCT indicates cone-beam computerized tomography.

Figure 3

(a) T1 sagittal slice showing implant guide angulation. (b) T2 sagittal slice showing implant angulation. (c) T1 (gray) and T2 (red) slices superimposed showing the angulation of the planned treatment and final outcome. (d) T1 coronal slice showing implant guide angulation. (e) T2 coronal slice showing implant angulation. (f) T1 (gray) and T2 (red) slices superimposed showing the angulation of the planned treatment and final outcome. All the slices have the same orientation. CBCT indicates cone-beam computerized tomography.
