Radiological implications of crestal and subcrestal implant placement in posterior areas. A cone-beam computed tomography study.

Radiological planning of implant placement in a subcrestal position results in a greater distance from the implant platform to the BBP. In general terms, planning implant placement at a depth of 2 mm subcrestal surpassed the cortical bone in 91% of the cases.
