Abstract
BACKGROUND The success of any dental implant surgery depends on the correct diagnosis and treatment planning. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the dimensions of the alveolar ridge width using different techniques for implant placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study involved 27 partially edentulous subjects aged 18-50, including males and females. In this study, the dimensions of the ridge were evaluated by ridge mapping on a cast, ridge mapping using a bone caliper, and ridge mapping with the help of an occlusal radiograph. All three methods were compared with ridge mapping by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). For each subject, the site of implant placement was marked on the study model. Alveolar ridge measurement was done in the mouth by a bone caliper under local anesthesia with the help of a stent with a hole. Ridge mapping on a cast was done after sectioning the cast and marking with the help of a periodontal probe and stent. Ridge mapping was done on an occlusal radiograph by converting an acetate stent into a radiographic stent. Finally, CBCT was taken for each patient for ridge mapping. All four readings were tabulated. RESULTS Comparing the mean alveolar ridge width of four groups, ANOVA showed significantly different alveolar ridge width among the groups (F=7.89, p<0.001). The validity (accuracy and precision) of ridge mapping on a cast, ridge mapping using a bone caliper, and occlusal radiograph against the CBCT (gold standard) was done using concordance correlation analysis. The concordance correlation analysis showed the highest association (ρ=0.8196) and precision (ϸ=82.61%) of ridge mapping using a bone caliper with CBCT. However, the accuracy of ridge mapping on a cast (Cb=99.42%) was the highest, followed by ridge mapping using a bone caliper (Cb=82.61%). The analysis concluded that both techniques are equivalent to CBCT and can be used interchangeably. CONCLUSION The mean alveolar ridge width of the occlusal radiograph was the highest, followed by CBCT, ridge mapping on a cast, and ridge mapping using a bone caliper the least (occlusal radiograph > CBCT > ridge mapping on cast >ridge mapping using bone caliper). But at the same time, it can also be used interchangeably.

Abstract
Materials and Methods CBCT images of 120 patients were interpreted in coronal plane for the presence of Haller cells and orbital floor dehiscence. The prevalence of Haller cell, presence of dehiscence, unilateral, or bilateral frequency were assessed. In addition, the size was categorized in three groups of small, medium, and large. Chi-square and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests were used for statistical analysis of the data, and p < 0.05 was considered to be significant. Results A total of 51 male and 69 female with mean ± SD age of 38.84 ± 68.14 were assessed. The overall prevalence of Haller cells was 56.7%, of which 44 (64.7%) were unilateral and 24 were bilateral (35.3%). The majority of the cells (70.7%) were seen in medium (2-4 mm) sized. There was a significant association between Haller cells and orbital floor dehiscence (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion The prevalence of Haller cells was remarkably high and the presence of Haller cells was strongly associated with ipsilateral orbital floor dehiscence. Based on the findings of this study, CBCT can be useful in delineation of the bony anatomy of sinonasal complex.

Abstract
Root resorption is the loss of dental hard tissue because of odontoclastic action. In permanent teeth, it is undesirable and pathological in nature. Root resorption may occur on the inner aspect of the root canal (internal root resorption) or on the outer aspect of the root (external root resorption). Regardless of its location, root resorption is irreversible, and may result in discomfort for the patient, requires management and/or, in some cases, results in the premature loss of the affected tooth. Root resorption is often challenging to accurately diagnose and manage. The aim of this narrative review is to present the relevant literature on the aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management, as well as discuss the future directions of diagnosis and management of root resorption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine osseous changes following lateral bone augmentation using a novel Ossix Volumax (OV) scaffold alone and compare it to combination therapy using freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) and resorbable collagen membrane (FDBA/CM). METHODS Thirty patients completed this 9-months prospective two-center cohort clinical trial. Before surgery and 9-months re-entry, linear measurements were performed, and impressions taken. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) were done at baseline and 9 months. DICOM slice data were converted into volumetric images using 3D Slicer. Following 3D volumetric image construction, pre- and post-op Standard Triangle Language files were superimposed and volumetric data were extracted for a 10-mm region of interest. Linear measurements were compared similarly. RESULTS Baseline clinical parameters were similar in both groups (4.22 and 4.53 mm for OV and FDBA/CM at -2 mm, respectively). Following treatment, vertical distance from the stent had changed minimally (-0.36 and -0.12 mm, respectively). Similarly, lateral bone gain ranged from 0 to 0.4 mm, for both groups. To the contrary, the CBCT measurements showed a significantly greater increase in horizontal width in the control at -2 mm (0.95 ± 0.2 mm) compared with -0.62 mm for the OV (P = 0.000). Similar changes were observed at -5 mm (0.63 and -0.41 mm, respectively, P = 0.01). Sites volume had increased from 266 ± 149 mm3 to 360 ± 138 mm3 (P = 0.001) for FDBA/CM with negligible changes for OV (from 334 to 335 mm3 , P = 0.952). these between-group changes being statistically significant (P = 0.023). CONCLUSION FDBA/CM yielded better albeit moderate increase in the volume of the edentulous ridge, while OV scaffolds failed to produce similar results.

Abstract
Average facial soft-tissue thickness (FSTT) databanks are continuously developed and applied within craniofacial identification. This study considered and tested a subject-specific regression model alternative for estimating the FSTT values for oral midline landmarks using skeletal projection measurements. Measurements were taken from cone-beam computed tomography scans of 100 South African individuals (60 male, 40 female; Mage = 35 years). Regression equations incorporating sex categories were generated. This significantly improved the goodness-of-fit (r2-value). Validation tests compared the constructed regression models with mean FSTT data collected from this study, existing South African FSTT data, a universal total weighted mean approach with pooled demographic data and collection techniques and a regression model approach that uses bizygomatic width and maximum cranial breadth dimensions. The generated regression equations demonstrated individualised results, presenting a total mean inaccuracy (TMI) of 1.53 mm using dental projection measurements and 1.55 mm using cemento-enamel junction projection measurements. These slightly outperformed most tested mean models (TMI ranged from 1.42 to 4.43 mm), and substantially outperformed the pre-existing regression model approach (TMI = 5.12 mm). The newly devised regressions offer a subject-specific solution to FSTT estimation within a South African population. A continued development in sample size and validation testing may help substantiate its application within craniofacial identification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare facial flatness indices calculated from the trigonometric formula as opposed to those generated from the direct measurements on three-dimensional radiographs. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 322 cone-beam computed tomography radiographs were digitized and three facial indices (frontal, simotic, and zygomaxillary) were assessed in two different methods and compared between different groups. RESULTS There was a discrepancy between facial flatness indices generated from the two different approaches. The highest difference was seen in the findings of the simotic index and the lowest for the zygomaxillary index. No statistically significant difference was displayed in the three formula-generated flatness indices between males and females and between growing and non-growing subjects (P > 0.05). The zygomaxillary index was the only measurement revealing no statistically significant difference in Class III sagittal malocclusions (t = -0.5 P = 0.621). The orthodontic application would yield to the same interpretations for both ways of indices calculation. CONCLUSION The validity of the trigonometric formula used to appraise facial flatness indices might be questionable. The zygomaxillary index could be more clinically considered compared to the frontal and simotic indices.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of two different voxel resolutions for the preoperative assessment of mandibular osteotomies. The study was conducted on 37 dry adult human mandibles. To obtain measurement standardization, heated gutta-percha cones were placed on the dry mandibles to mark 20 anatomical points. These cones were used for all measurement groups. Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) scans of the mandibles were made using 0.200mm3 and 0.400mm3 voxel sizes (Planmeca Promex-3D Helsinki, Finland). The results obtained from these two groups were compared with physical measurements obtained using a digital calliper, in order to analyze their predictive value. In the study, one voxel size did not have supremacy over the other in terms of accuracy. For mandibular osteotomies, 0.400mm3 voxel size can be preferred because of lower radiation dose.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a method to simulate root position in the patient and to evaluate the accuracy of all procedures.Materials and Methods: In Part I, the accuracy of a tooth model generated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was evaluated. Mesiodistal width was measured and compared between digital models and actual teeth. In Part II, the accuracy of simulated root positions generated in the scanned model was evaluated. Simulated root models were superimposed on the scanned dental model using the best fit method. The distances between the reference wire and the tooth were compared. In Part III, the simulated method was used with real orthodontic patients. The distances between the mini-implant and the tooth were compared.Results: Part I: The range of the differences was −0.106 to 0.152 mm. Part II: The range of the differences between the distance of the constructed tooth model and the simulated model was −0.065 to 0.256 mm. Part III: The range of the differences between the distance of the constructed tooth model and the simulated model was −0.089 to 0.135 mm. This technique provided high accuracy, with an average error of only 0.054 mm.Conclusion: High accuracy of the constructed model was achieved. Simulation of root position in a patient can be accomplished by combining data from CBCT and the digital model. This technique might be used effectively in orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review was to identify, review, analyze, and summarize available evidence on the accuracy of linear measurements when using maxillofacial cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) specifically in the field of implant dentistry. MATERIAL AND METHODS The search was undertaken in April 2017 in the National Library of Medicine database (Medline) through its online site (PubMed), followed by searches in the Cochrane, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest Dissertation and Thesis databases. The main inclusion criterion for studies was that linear CBCT measurements were performed for quantitative assessment (e.g., height, width) of the alveolar bone at edentulous sites or measuring distances from anatomical structures related to implant dentistry. The studies should compare these values to clinical data (humans) or ex vivo and/or experimental (animal) findings from a "gold standard." RESULTS The initial search yielded 2,516 titles. In total, 22 studies were included in the final analysis. Of those, two were clinical and 20 ex vivo investigations. The major findings of the review indicate that CBCT provides cross-sectional images that demonstrate high accuracy and reliability for bony linear measurements on cross-sectional images related to implant treatment. A wide range of error has been reported when performing linear measurements on CBCT images, with both over- and underestimation of dimensions in comparison with a gold standard. A voxel size of 0.3 to 0.4 mm is adequate to provide CBCT images of acceptable diagnostic quality for implant treatment planning. CONCLUSIONS CBCT can be considered as an appropriate diagnostic tool for 3D preoperative planning. Nevertheless, a 2 mm safety margin to adjacent anatomic structures should be considered when using CBCT. In clinical practice, the measurement accuracy and reliability of linear measurements on CBCT images are most likely reduced through factors such as patient motion, metallic artefacts, device-specific exposure parameters, the software used, and manual vs. automated procedures.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to assess the reliability of ultrasonography (US) in comparison with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a tool for monitoring the healing of jaw lesions. Materials and Methods Twenty-one radiolucent lesions in jaws referred to the Oral Surgery Department at our institution were selected for this study. All lesions underwent CBCT and US examinations. The anteroposterior, superoinferior, and mesiodistal dimensions of the lesions were measured on CBCT and US images before surgery and at 6 months after surgery. The dimensions were compared between the US and CBCT images. Blood-flow velocity around the lesions was measured by color Doppler before surgery and at 1 week and 6 months after surgery to assess the capability of US to show changes in blood-flow velocity around the lesion. Results Before surgery, there were no significant differences between US and CBCT in the mesiodistal and anteroposterior dimensions, although a significant difference was found in the superoinferior dimension (P<.05). However, at 6 months after surgery, significant differences were found between US and CBCT in all dimensions, and it is likely that the US measurements more accurately reflected the extent of healing. The average blood-flow velocity increased at 1 week after surgery (5.84 cm/s) compared with the velocity before surgery (4 cm/s) (P<.05). Then, at 6 months after surgery, the blood-flow velocity significantly decreased (3.53 cm/s) compared to the velocity measured at 1 week after surgery (P<.05). Conclusion US with color Doppler was confirmed to be a more efficient tool than CBCT for monitoring bone healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of the new stitching feature of the Morita 3D Accuitomo device by comparing it with the I-CAT device and real measurements. METHODS: Eight dry skulls were used in this study. The full scan mode of an I-CAT device and the new stitching feature of the Morita 3D Accuitomo device were used to obtain full head cone beam CT (CBCT) images, and the linear distances between the selected anatomical sites were measured by two observers. The real distances were measured directly on the skulls using digital calipers. Statistical analyses were performed using the intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman Limits of Agreement. RESULTS: High or perfect agreement was detected between the CBCT images and real measurements. The Bland-Altman Limits of Agreement analysis revealed that the stitched coronal and sagittal images of the Morita might differ by >1.54-1.67 or <0.01 mm from the real measurements. CONCLUSIONS: The stitched images of the Morita CBCT device showed perfect agreement with both real measurements and the images of an I-CAT full head scan. After the evaluation of the radiation doses received from stitching sectional images, this device may be used to obtain full head images.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to obtain the morphological data of the maxillofacial region of Han nationality adults in Northeast China, and to explore the methods and appropriate variables of three-dimensional reconstruction technology for sex determination using Cone beam computer tomography (CBCT). The CBCT images of 420 adults (210 males, 210 females) aged 18-70years were reconstructed by MIMICS 17.0 software and sixteen observation indexes were measured and analyzed statistically. The results demonstrated that twelve of sixteen variables expressed significant sexual difference (p<0.01) which were as follows: mandibular angle (X1),area of mandibular foramen (X2), bi-gonial breadth (X3), koronoidbreite (X4), Height of symphysis (X5), Min-height of mandibular notch (X6), Min-breadth of mandibular ramus (X7), Buccal side bone thickness of MF (X8), Horizontal diameter of MF (X11), Vertical from prosthion to palatal breadth (X12), palatal breadth (X13), The ratio of HD-MF and VD-MF (X15). Then the sexual discriminant equation which was suitable for people at the age of 18-70 was established using stepwise method: Y=-0.059X1+0.313X2+0.1X3+0.061X4+0.044X5+0.041X6+0.076X13-17.215. It was found that the cross-validated grouped overall predictive accuracy was 87.4%. It could correctly identify males in 85.7% and females in 89% of the cases. This study has accumulated morphological data of maxillofacial skeleton from adults of Han nationality in Northeast China, which provided guiding significance for sex determination and clinical application in forensic science, archaeology, criminal investigation, iconography and clinical three-dimensional (3D) print. Evaluation variables and related discriminant functions of sex determination using CBCT for three-dimensional reconstruction technology provided a new theoretical basis and practical means for sex determination.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to measure the topographic thickness of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus in selected Asian populations. Measurements were made on the lateral walls of maxillary sinuses recorded using CBCT in a convenient sample of patients attending an Asian teaching hospital. The points of measurement were the intersections between the axes along the apices of the canine, first premolar, and second premolar and along the mesiobuccal and distobuccal apices of the first and second molars and horizontal planes 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm beneath the orbital floor. The CBCT images of 109 patients were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 33.0 (SD 14.8) years. Almost three quarters (71.8%) of the patients were male. The mean bone thickness decreased beginning at the 10-mm level and continuing to 40 mm below the orbital floor. Few canine regions showed encroachment of the maxillary sinus. The thickness of the buccal wall gradually increased from the canine region (where sinus encroachment of the canine region was present) to the first molar region, after which it decreased to the thickness observed at the canine region. The buccal wall of the maxillary sinus became thicker anteroposteriorly, except in the region of the second molar, and thinner superoinferiorly. These changes will affect the approach used to osteotomize the lateral sinus wall for oral surgery and for the sinus lift procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare postoperative cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging to implant stability quotient (ISQ) measurement and direct caliper measurements as a suitable technique to assess bone conduction hearing implant (BCHI) seating and insertion depth. METHODS In vitro, BCHIs were completely (n = 9) and partially inserted (n = 9) in bone blocks of different densities and subsequently scanned. Scans were processed using 3DSlicer 4.3.1 and Mathematica 10.3. ISQ measurements were obtained for all BCHIs mounted with different abutment lengths (9, 12, and 14 mm). CBCT imaging was performed for patients with a clinical indication. RESULTS In vitro, 95% prediction intervals for partially inserted and completely inserted BCHIs were determined. ISQ values significantly decreased with partial insertion, low-density artificial bone, and longer abutment lengths. Evaluation of in vitro and in vivo 3D models allowed for assessment of insertion depth and inclination. CONCLUSION CBCT imaging allows to study implant seating and insertion depth after BCHI surgery. This can be useful when visual confirmation is limited. It is possible to distinguish a partial BCHI insertion from a complete insertion in artificial bone blocks. This technique could prove to be a valuable research tool. In vitro, ISQ values for Ponto BCHIs relate to abutment length, insertion depth, and artificial bone density.

Abstract
Purpose Measurement of the root surface area (RSA) is important in periodontal treatment and for the evaluation of periodontal disease as a risk factor for systemic disease. The aim of this study was to measure the RSA at 6 mm below the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) using the Mimics software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Methods We obtained cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data from 33 patients who had visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology of Dankook University Dental Hospital. The patients comprised 17 men and 16 women aged from 20 to 35 years, with a mean age of 24.4 years. Only morphologically intact teeth were included in our data. Because the third molars of the maxilla and mandible have a high deformation rate and were absent in some participants, they were not included in our research material. Results The CBCT data were reconstructed into 3-dimensional (3D) teeth models using the Mimics software, and the RSA at 6 mm below the CEJ was separated and measured using 3-Matic (Materialise). In total, 924 3D teeth models were created, and the area at 6 mm below the CEJ could be isolated in all the models. The area at 6 mm below the CEJ was measured in all teeth from the 33 patients and compared based on sex and position (maxilla vs. mandible). Conclusions In this study, we demonstrated that it was feasible to generate 3D data and to evaluate RSA values using CBCT and the Mimics software. These results provide deeper insights into the relationship between periodontal inflammatory burden and systemic diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was performed to investigate the intra- and inter-observer variability in linear measurements with axial images obtained by PreXion (PreXion Inc., San Mateo, USA) and i-CAT (Imaging Sciences International, Xoran Technologies Inc., Hatfield, USA) CBCT scanners, with different voxel sizes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cylindrical object made from nylon with radiopaque markers (phantom) was scanned by i-CAT and PreXion 3D devices. For each axial image, measurements were taken twice in the horizontal (distance A-B) and vertical (distance C-D) directions, randomly, with a one-week interval between measurements, by four oral radiologists with five years or more experience in the use of these measuring tools. RESULTS All of the obtained linear measurements had lower values than those of the phantom. The statistical analysis showed high intra- and inter-observer reliability (p=0.297). Compared to the real measurements, the measurements obtained using the i-CAT device and PreXion tomography, on average, revealed absolute errors ranging from 0.22 to 0.59 mm and from 0.23 to 0.63 mm, respectively. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that both scanners are accurate, although the linear measurements are underestimations, with no significant differences between the evaluators.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the accuracy and reliability of skull angles measured on 3D models created by laser scanning. Five skulls were measured through both conventional and digital measuring methods. The 3D models were created using a hand-held laser scanner Creaform VIUscan™. Seven angular characteristics were measured three times by two observers. The intra- and interobserver reliability were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient. The differences between the digital and direct measurements were assessed using the measurement and relative errors. The intraclass correlation coefficients for digitally taken angles indicated almost perfect intra- and interobserver reliability, except for the alveolar profile angle showing moderate interobserver agreement. The overall measurement error based on the differences between digitally and directly measured angles was 0.61° and the relative error was 0.68%.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and quantitatively evaluate the morphology of mandibular first molars using CBCT. Material and Methods Twenty-four double-rooted mandibular first molars were evaluated by NewTom VGi CBCT. The distance from the furcation and apex to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), diameter and thickness of canal walls, the buccolingual (BL) to mesiodistal (MD) ratio (ΔD), prevalence of oval canals at different sections and taper of the canals were all determined. In order to assess the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT, distance from the furcation and apex to the CEJ and thickness of canal walls at the CEJ and apex were compared with the gold standard values (caliper and stereomicroscope). Statistical analyses were carried out using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), paired t-test and repeated measures ANOVA. Results A high correlation existed between the CBCT and gold standard measurements (P<0.001). In dimensional measurements, length of mesial root was higher than the distal root and lingual furcation was farther from the CEJ than the buccal furcation (P<0.001). An important finding of this study was the mesiodistal taper of the mesiobuccal (MB) and mesiolingual (ML) canals; which was equal to 0.02. Conclusions CBCT has acceptable diagnostic accuracy for measurement of canal wall thickness. Cleaning and shaping of the canals should be performed based on the unique anatomy of the respective canal; which necessitates the use of advanced imaging techniques for thorough assessment of root canal anatomy in a clinical setting. Key words:Permanent mandibular first molar, accuracy, cone-beam computed tomography, dimensional measurement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Buccal plate thickness is of clinical importance in treatment planning for implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the buccal plate thickness in posterior dentate areas of both the maxilla and mandible using cone beam computed tomography in order to estimate the approximate distributions of this anatomic variable. METHODS Two hundred and sixty-five subjects were included for a total of nine hundred and thirty-four roots assessed by cone beam computed tomography. CBCT scans were taken and evaluated at the ideal buccolingual cross-sections of each root at 1 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm apical to the alveolar crest to measure buccal plate thickness. Data are reported by geometric means and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Both arches demonstrated increasing buccal plate thickness from anterior to posterior. Maxillary teeth had a significant decrease in thickness from coronal to apical along the tooth root (P < 0.001), except at second molars. The first premolar and mesial root of the first molar were significantly thinner than all other roots in the maxilla. Conversely, the mandible demonstrated a significant increase in buccal plate thickness from coronal to apical (P < 0.001). The premolars were significantly thinner than all other roots. Age and sex were found to have limited impact on buccal plate thickness in both arches. CONCLUSIONS Buccal plate thickness is highly dependent upon the arch position, tooth location, and measurement point, but age and sex have limited impact.

Abstract
The anterior mandible was initially considered a safe zone from a surgical point of view. Over time, serious complications resulting from dental implantology procedures have been reported. This has led to a greater focus on vascularization of the interforaminal region. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the anterior mandibular region in relation to the presence of canals perforating the buccal and lingual cortical plates. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files of 100 cone beam computed tomography scans were analyzed by imaging software. All radiographic cross-sections between the mental foramina were examined to detect the presence and location of perforating buccal or lingual canals. Lingual perforating canals are present in 98% of the cohort. The most common site is the symphysis region. The presence of 2 lingual canals cranially and caudally to the genial apophysis has been found in 39%. Vestibular perforating canals are absent in 61%. The anterior mandible has several lingual perforating canals, which are variable in number and location. Imaging software is a valuable aid in presurgical planning. Because of the higher prevalence of perforating canals in the symphysis region, this site should be preserved.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the course of the mandibular canal and the thickness of the vestibular cortical plate in the posterior region of the mandible in relation to autologous bone harvest procedures. The study was performed on a cohort of 30 cone-beam computed tomography hemimandible images. For each hemimandible, the course of the mandibular canal and the thickness of the vestibular cortical plate have been evaluated in 4 regions: the retromolar region, the second molar region, the first molar region, and the second premolar region. The analyzed variables show a characteristic trend: the thickness of the cortical vestibular plate and the horizontal distance of the canal from the cortical vestibular plate are higher in the second molar region specifically in the area bordering on the retromolar region. In fact, the maximum thickness reaches the average value of 3.46 mm on 30 hemimandibles for slice (SD, 0.56 mm; range, 2.36-4.83 mm), and the horizontal distance reaches the average value of 6.06 mm on 30 hemimandibles for slice (SD, 1.34 mm; range, 3.65-9.27 mm); both variables decrease in more distal slices of the retromolar region. The vertical distance of the canal from the cortical crest shows the average value of 14.25 mm on 22 slices of the second molar and retromolar regions (SD of average values, 1.03 mm; range of average values, 12.92-16.25 mm; range of absolute values, 7.11-22.92 mm) exactly in regions potentially suitable for procedures of bone harvest (second molar and retromolar regions).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To discriminate clinically relevant aberrance, the accuracy of linear measurements in three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed datasets was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three partly edentulous human skulls were examined. Landmarks were defined prior to acquisition. Two CBCT-scanners and a Quad-slice CT-scanner were used. Actual distances were physically measured with calipers and defined as a reference. Subsequently, from digital DICOM datasets, 3D virtual models were generated using maximum intensity projections (MIPs). Linear measurements were performed by semi-automated image analysis. Virtual and analogue linear measurements were compared using repeated measurements in a mixed model (p ≤ 0.05). RESULTS No significant difference was found among all of the digital measurements when compared to one another, whereas a significant difference was found in matched-pairs analysis between CBCT and calipers (p = 0.032). All digitally acquired data resulted in lower mean values compared to the measurements via calipers. A high level of inter-observer reliability was obtained in the digital measurements (inter-rater correlation = 0.988-0.993). CONCLUSIONS The reconstructed datasets led to highly consistent values among linear measurements. Yielding sub-millimeter precision, these modalities are assumed to reflect reality in a clinically irrelevant altered manner. During data acquisition and evaluation, a maximum of precision must be achieved.

Abstract
Objectives: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an innovative dental of imaging system characterized by rapid volumetric imaging with patient exposure to a single dose of radiation. The present study was carried out to compare the linear measurements obtained with CBCT and digital caliper in 20 mandibles from human cadavers.
Study design: A total of 4800 linear measurements were measured between different mandibular anatomical points with CBCT and digital caliper. The real measurements were defined as those obtained with the digital caliper. Posteriorly, the mandibles were scanned to obtain the CBCT images, with software-based measurements of the distances.
Results: The measurements obtained with the digital caliper were greater. The CBCT technique underestimated distances greater than 100 mm.
Conclusions: CBCT allows to obtain linear mandibular anatomical measurements equivalent to those obtained with digital caliper. The differences existing between both methods were clinically acceptable.
Key words:Computed tomography, cone beam CT, accuracy, reliability, digital caliper.

J Clin Periodontol 2014; 41:914-26.

Abstract
AIM This systematic review was aimed at analysing bone dimensional alterations within the first year following immediate implant placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS The electronic search was conducted using MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and EMBASE from January 1980 to October 2013. Quality assessment of selected articles was performed using Cochrane Collaboration's tool or Newcastle-Ottawa scale according to the design of each study. A meta-analysis was performed to estimate bone dimensional reduction. Weighted mean differences in bone dimension between baseline and follow-up measurement were calculated. Subgroup analysis and mete-regression were conducted to evaluate the effects of different variables. RESULTS A total of 1348 articles were identified following the search process. Six studies were included in the present review. The weighted mean buccal horizontal bone dimensional reduction (BHDr) was 1.07 mm and buccal vertical bone dimensional reduction (BVDr) was 0.78 mm. The weighted mean palatal bone dimensional reduction was 0.62 mm horizontally (PHDr) and 0.50 mm vertically (PVDr). The initial thickness of the buccal alveolar plate (TB) of the socket was the only variable significantly correlated with BHDr and BVDr in meta-regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS The bone dimensions of immediate implant sites demonstrated approximately 0.5-1.0 mm reduction in vertical and horizontal aspects 4-12 months following surgery. The results should be interpreted with care because of the data heterogeneity. The correlation of the socket buccal wall thickness, and other variables, with dimensional changes of the bony ridge should be investigated further in controlled clinical trials.

Gaining surgical access for repositioning the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle. ScientificWorldJournal 2014; 2014:719243.

Abstract
This study is aimed at determining anatomical landmarks that can be used to gain access to the inferior alveolar neurovascular (IAN) bundle. Scanned CBCT (i-CAT machine) data of sixty patients and reconstructions performed using the SimPlant dental implant software were reviewed. Outcome variables were the linear distances of the mandibular canal to the inferior border and the buccal cortex of the mandible, measured immediately at the mental foramen (D1) and at 10, 20, 30, and 40 mm (D2-D5) distal to it. Predictor variables were age, ethnicity, and gender of subjects. Apicobasal assessment of the canal reveals that it is curving downward towards the inferior mandibular border until 20 mm (D3) distal to the mental foramen where it then curves upwards, making an elliptic-arc curve. The mandibular canal also forms a buccolingually oriented elliptic arc in relation to the buccal cortex. Variations due to age, ethnicity, and gender were evident and this study provides an accurate anatomic zone for gaining surgical access to the IAN bundle. The findings indicate that the buccal cortex-IAN distance was greatest at D3. Therefore, sites between D2 and D5 can be used as favorable landmarks to access the IAN bundle with the least complications to the patient.

Abstract
The present study compared the use of cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) images and intra-oral radiographs in the placement of final implant drills in terms of nerve damage to cadaver mandibles. Twelve cadaver hemimandibles obtained from 6 cadavers were used. Right hemimandibles were imaged using peri-apical radiography and left hemimandibles using CBCT, and the images obtained were used in treatment planning for the placement of implant drills (22 for each modality, for a total of 44 final drills). Specimens were dissected, and the distances between the apex of the final implant drill and the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle and incisive nerve were measured using a digital calliper. Nerves were assessed as damaged or not damaged, and the Chi-square test was used to compare nerve damage between modalities (P < 0.05). Nerve damage occurred with 7 final drills placed based on peri-apical radiography (31.8%) and 1 final drill placed using CBCT images (4.5%). The difference in nerve damage between imaging modalities was statistically significant (P = 0.023), with CBCT outperforming intraoral film in the placement of final implant drills ex vivo. In order to prevent nerve damage, CBCT is recommended as the principal imaging modality for pre-implant assessment.
