Abstract：The morphology of alveolar bone defects is the key factor affecting the effect of bone regeneration and it is of-ten an important basis for selecting bone augmentation meth-od.At present,the evaluation and classification methods of al-veolar bone defects morphology are diversified,which leads to the lack of standardization in clinical application.Moreover,most evaluation and classification methods do not reflect ob-jectively or comprehensively the defects parameters related to bone regeneration effects.In recent years,cone beam CT com-bined with digital technology has provided new methods for clinicians to quantitatively analyze the morphology of alveolar bone defects,opening up a new approach to evaluating alveo-lar bone regeneration effects.In the current article,the rele-vant factors that affect bone regeneration were reviewed,the general classifications and evaluation indicators of alveolar bone defects were summarized,the researches on the relation-ship between quantitative factors of alveolar bone defects mor-phology and bone regeneration results were analyzed,and a risk evaluation table for bone augmentation at implant site was proposed.The aim was to provide reference for clinicians to evaluate bone defects and make clinical decisions.
