Effect of metal artefact reduction level on the assessment of dental implant positioning by cone-beam computed tomography. Dentomaxillofac Radiol 2024; 53:233-239. [PMID: 38466923 PMCID: PMC11056797 DOI: 10.1093/dmfr/twae008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of metal artefact reduction (MAR) level and tube current on the assessment of dental implant positioning relative to the mandibular canal (MC) through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS Titanium dental implants were placed in dried mandibles at 0.5-mm superior to the MC (group 1/n = 8) and 0.5-mm inside the MC with perforation of the cortex (group 2/n = 10). CBCT scans were obtained with different levels of MAR (off, medium, and high) and 2 tube currents (4 and 8 mA). Four examiners analysed the images and scored the contact between the implant and the MC using a 5-point scale. Sensitivity, specificity, area under receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), and frequency of scores were calculated. Data were compared with analysis of variance 2-way and Tukey's test and scores with Chi-square test. RESULTS Specificity and area under ROC curve decreased significantly when MAR level was high compared with MAR-medium and MAR-off. The frequency of score 3 (inconclusive) was the highest, and scores 1 and 5 (definitely no contact and definitely contact, respectively) were the lowest with MAR-high, regardless of the tube current. When MAR was off, there were higher frequencies of scores 1 and 5. CONCLUSIONS The level of MAR influences the assessment of the relationship between the dental implant and the MC. MAR-high led to lower diagnostic accuracy compared with MAR-medium and off. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE This article shows that high level of MAR can interfere in the diagnostic of dental implant positioning relative to the MC, decreasing its accuracy.

Effect of metal artifact removal modes on the accuracy of linear measurement around titanium implants by applying different voltages: an original article. BMC Med Imaging 2023; 23:74. [PMID: 37277737 DOI: 10.1186/s12880-023-01025-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to evaluate the effects of the artifact removal algorithm on linear measurements of the buccal cortical plate by altering the voltage. METHODS Ten titanium fixtures were inserted at the site of central, lateral, canine, premolars and molars of dry human mandibles. Vertical height of buccal plate was measured using a digital caliper as a gold standard. Mandibles were scanned with 54 and 58 kVp. Other parameters were constant. Images were reconstructed with none, low, medium and high artifact removal modes. Two Oromaxillofacial radiologists evaluated and measured the buccal plate height using Romexis software. Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 24 was used for data analysis. RESULTS In medium and high modes, the difference between 54 and 58 kVp was significant (p < 0.001). No significance was noted by using low ARM (artifact removal mode) at the 54 kVp and 58 kVp. CONCLUSION Using artifact removal in low voltage decreases the accuracy of linear measurement and buccal crest visibility. By using high voltage, artifact removal would have no significant effect on accuracy of linear measurements.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the influence of kilovoltage-peak (kVp) and the metal artifact reduction (MAR) tool on the detection of buccal and lingual peri-implant dehiscence in the presence of titanium-zirconia (Ti-Zr) and zirconia (Zr) implants in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Materials and Methods Twenty implant sites were created in the posterior region of human mandibles, including control sites (without dehiscence) and experimental sites (with dehiscence). Individually, a Ti-Zr or Zr implant was placed in each implant site. CBCT scans were performed using a Picasso Trio device, with variation in the kVp setting (70 or 90 kVp) and whether the MAR tool was used. Three oral radiologists scored the detection of dehiscence using a 5-point scale. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, sensitivity, and specificity were calculated and compared by multi-way analysis of variance (α=0.05). Results The kVp, cortical plate involved (buccal or lingual cortices), and MAR did not influence any diagnostic values (P>0.05). The material of the implant did not influence the ROC curve values (P>0.05). In contrast, the sensitivity and specificity were statistically significantly influenced by the implant material (P<0.05) with Zr implants showing higher sensitivity values and lower specificity values than Ti-Zr implants. Conclusion The detection of peri-implant dehiscence was not influenced by kVp, use of the MAR tool, or the cortical plate. Greater sensitivity and lower specificity were shown for the detection of peri-implant dehiscence in the presence of a Zr implant.

Assessment of the Metal Artifact Reduction Tool for the Detection of Root Isthmus in Mandibular Molars with Intraradicular Posts in Cone-beam Computed Tomographic Scans. J Endod 2021; 47:1583-1591. [PMID: 34265325 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2021.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study evaluated the performance of the metal artifact reduction (MAR) tool in cone-beam computed tomographic scans using different fields of view (FOVs) in the detection of a root isthmus in mandibular molars with intraradicular posts. METHODS Twenty-eight teeth were scanned by micro-computed tomographic imaging (gold standard images). Thereafter, specimens were allocated into the following groups: gutta-percha (teeth without posts, n = 10), a prefabricated metal post (n = 9), and a fiberglass post (n = 9). Cone-beam computed tomographic scans were taken using 8 acquisition protocols, varying the size of the FOV (10 × 5.5 cm and 5 × 5.5 cm) and the MAR tool (disabled, low, normal, and high modes). A root isthmus was evaluated considering a 5-point scale. Data were analyzed considering a 5% significance level. RESULTS Intra- and interexaminer agreement varied from moderate to substantial. The frequency of correct diagnosis varied significantly in all groups regardless of the image acquisition protocol selected (P < .05). In the gutta-percha group, there was no difference in the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity values between the tested protocols. In the metal and fiberglass post groups, the accuracy values were higher with the "disabled" and "low" modes of the MAR tool regardless of the FOV size. This was also observed for the sensitivity values in the metal post group (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The size of the FOV did not affect the performance of the MAR tool in the diagnosis of a root isthmus in molars with intraradicular posts. Our findings suggest that the use of the tool in the "normal" and "high" modes is contraindicated for this purpose.

Do the number of basis images and metal artifact reduction affect the production of artifacts near and far from zirconium dental implants in CBCT? Clin Oral Investig 2021; 25:5281-5291. [PMID: 33625608 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-03836-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 02/09/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the number of basis images and the metal artifact reduction (MAR) tool on the production of artifacts near and far from a zirconium implant in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS CBCT scans of a mandible were acquired before and after insertion of an implant, using 450 and 720 basis images, with and without MAR activation. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of the gray values of the regions of interest (ROIs) located on the cortices adjacent to the implant and at different distances from it (in the soft tissue) were calculated. The mean of the gray values was used to calculate the absolute contrast difference (ACD) between the control and implant scans. RESULTS In general, the number of basis images did not affect the SD and the ACD values of the buccal and lingual ROIs (p > 0.05). The implant increased the SD in the lingual cortical plate (p < 0.05). In this case, MAR activation decreased SD (p < 0.05). All ROIs located at different distances from the implant showed higher SD on scans acquired with 450 basis images (p < 0.05), regardless of MAR condition. CONCLUSIONS A higher number of basis images reduces the magnitude of artifacts but does not influence the image quality in bone cortical plates. MAR improves the image in the areas most affected by artifacts. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The number of basis images is known as a factor capable of influencing the image quality and radiation dose for the patient. Therefore, it is important to investigate its effect on the expression of artifacts in the CBCT images.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm and the adaptive image noise optimizer (AINO) optimization filter in the detection of peri-implant dehiscences with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). STUDY DESIGN Nine implants (3 zirconium, 3 titanium, and 3 zirconium-titanium) were placed in 3 sheep heads. Dehiscences were created on the buccal and lingual/palatal surfaces. A total of 9 defects and 9 controls with no defects were evaluated by 3 observers. Each sheep head was scanned 5 times with 4 scan modes; (1) without MAR/without AINO; (2) with MAR/without AINO; (3) without MAR/with AINO; and (4) with MAR/with AINO. Receiver operating characteristic analysis and weighted kappa coefficients were used to calculate diagnostic efficacy and intra- and interobserver agreements for each implant type and scan mode. RESULTS For all implant types, dehiscences were most accurately detected when both MAR and AINO were applied (P ≤ .045). Detection of dehiscences was more accurate with titanium implants (P ≤ .040). There were no significant differences in agreement among and between the observers. CONCLUSIONS The use of both MAR and AINO enhanced the detection accuracy of artificially created dehiscences in proximity to implants. Their combined use is recommended for detecting peri-implant dehiscences.

Abstract
Purpose This study was performed to evaluate the magnitude of artifacts produced by gutta-percha and metal posts on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans obtained with different tube currents and with or without metal artifact reduction (MAR). Materials and Methods A tooth was inserted in a dry human mandible socket, and CBCT scans were acquired after root canal instrumentation, root canal filling, and metal post placement with various tube currents with and without MAR activation. The artifact magnitude was assessed by the standard deviation (SD) of gray values and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) at the various distances from the tooth. Data were compared using multi-way analysis of variance. Results At all distances, a current of 4 mA was associated with a higher SD and a lower CNR than 8 mA or 10 mA (P<0.05). For the metal posts without MAR, the artifact magnitude as assessed by SD was greatest at 1.5 cm or less (P<0.05). When MAR was applied, SD values for distances 1.5 cm or closer to the tooth were reduced (P<0.05). MAR usage did not influence the magnitude of artifacts in the control and gutta-percha groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Increasing the tube current from 4 mA to 8 mA may reduce the magnitude of artifacts from metal posts. The magnitude of artifacts arising from metal posts was significantly higher at distances of 1.5 cm or less than at greater distances. MAR usage improved image quality near the metal post, but had no significant influence farther than 1.5 cm from the tooth.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of metal artefact reduction (MAR) in cone beam CT (CBCT) artefacts arising from metallic objects in the exomass. A radiographic phantom composed of 16 polypropylene tubes filled with a homogeneous radiopaque solution was created. CBCT scans were obtained with two units: Picasso Trio (Vatech, South Korea) and ProMax (Planmeca, Finland). The phantom was centred in a 5 × 5 cm field-of-view (FOV) with titanium and CoCr inserts in the exomass. All scans were repeated after enabling MAR. Mean voxel values were obtained from the 16 tubes and standard deviation was calculated as a way of measuring voxel value variability. Mean values and voxel value variability were compared individually in the presence and absence of MAR by means of analysis of variance, followed by Tukey's test (α = 0.05). In the Picasso Trio, MAR significantly decreased mean voxel values (p ≤ 0.05) and increased voxel value variability (p > 0.05) in the presence of titanium. When CoCr was present, no statistical difference (p > 0.05) was observed. In the ProMax, MAR increased significantly mean voxel values (p ≤ 0.05) in the presence of titanium, and presented no significant difference (p > 0.05) for CoCr. Voxel value variability did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) for both materials. In conclusion, MAR was not effective to correct CBCT artefacts arising from metallic objects in the exomass in the two CBCT units used.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the accuracy of a photostimulable phosphor plateP sensor with cone beam CT (CBCT) images in the detection of simulated endodontic complications. METHODS Following simulated endodontic complications were created in 40 extracted human mandibular molar teeth: Group 1, Instrument separation (N = 10); Group 2, Strip perforation (N = 10); Group 3, Underfilling of root canals (N = 10); Group 4, Overfilling of root canals (N = 10). Intraoral and CBCT images (voxel size: 0.075 , 0.1 and 0.2 mm) were taken. Images were scored by 4 observers according to a 5-point scale. Weighted kappa and intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated. Receiveroperating characteristic analysis was performed and DeLong test was used to compare areaunder curve values. Significance level was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS Intraobserver kappa ranged from moderate (0.417) to excellent (0.918). Intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from moderate (0.482) to excellent (0.855). For Group 1 (instrument separation) the highest Az values were obtained for intraoral images and the lowest for CBCT (0.2 mm voxel size) (p < 0.05). The highest Az values were obtained for Group 2 (strip perforation) among all groups. With all CBCT image settings, observers performed similarly and better than intraoral images (p < 0.05) in detection of strip perforation. For Group 3 (underfilling), higher Az values for CBCT images were obtained compared to intraoral images without statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). For Group 4 (overfilling), higher Az values for CBCT images were obtained when compared to digital intraoral for observer 1 and 2 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS CBCT images may be useful as an adjunct to periapical imaging in the detection of endodontic complications, such as strip perforation and overfilled root canals.
