Labial plate width in the esthetic area: A systematic review

objective: The width of the labial plate may effectively determine outcomes of several treatments including fresh socket implant placement and orthodontic treatments. Previous studies have shown that a thin labial plate may contribute to higher risks of periodontal recession during dental procedures. Acknowledgment of the average amounts may assist clinicians to take careful considerations in treatment planning. Thus, we aimed to review the labial plate width in the anterior maxillary teeth. Methods: A comprehensive electronic search was performed in PubMed, Embase, ProQuest, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Every study that had measured the labial plate width in the maxillary anterior teeth were deemed relevant. The eligibility criteria were applied to the relevant studies. Results: A total of 47 articles were included. Mean labial plate width ranged 0.35-1.9, 0.29-4.2, and 0.36-3.2 mm in maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor, and canine, respectively. Expectedly, labial plate width depended on the vertical level of the measurement point. In total, the labial plate width in the anterior maxilla ranged from 0.29 to 4.2 mm. In each tooth, the maximum and minimum width was reported in the apical and middle regions, respectively. Conclusion: A thin plate in the esthetic area necessitates particular considerations in orthodontic treatments involving proclination or expansion of the teeth. A labial plate of smaller than 2 mm width often indicates bone augmentation before immediate implant placement. In conclusion, the labial plate width ranged from 0.29 to 4.2 mm in the esthetic region, which necessitates careful considerations during dental procedures.
