Dimensional changes evaluation of laser group (A-F) and control group (G-L) with CBCT. (A, G) 3D reconstruction of CBCT at baseline. (B, H) 3D reconstruction of CBCT two months after ARP. (B, F) CBCT at baseline. (C, I) Superimposition of two CBCTs at baseline and two months after ARP with anatomical landmarks. (D, J) Coronal aspect of CBCT at baseline. (E, K) Coronal aspect of CBCT two month after ARP. (F, L) Radiographic evaluation of dimensional changes. Vertical measurements: buccal bone (BH), and lingual height (LH). Horizontal measurements: ridge width (RW) at 1 mm (RW-1), 3 mm (RW-3), and 5 mm (RW-5) from the bone crest. (Red line, contour of the alveolar bone two month after ARP)
