Are Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Three-Dimensional Histological Reconstructions Reliable for the Assessment of Trabecular Microarchitecture? J Clin Med 2024; 13:1106. [PMID: 38398417 PMCID: PMC10889719 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13041106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to create a three-dimensional histological reconstruction through the AI-assisted classification of tissues and the alignment of serial sections. The secondary aim was to evaluate if the novel technique for histological reconstruction accurately replicated the trabecular microarchitecture of bone. This was performed by conducting micromorphometric measurements on the reconstruction and comparing the results obtained with those of microCT reconstructions. Methods: A bone biopsy sample was harvested upon re-entry following sinus floor augmentation. Following microCT scanning and histological processing, a modified version of the U-Net architecture was trained to categorize tissues on the sections. Detector-free local feature matching with transformers was used to create the histological reconstruction. The micromorphometric parameters were calculated using Bruker's CTAn software (version 1.18.8.0, Bruker, Kontich, Belgium) for both histological and microCT datasets. Results: Correlation coefficients calculated between the micromorphometric parameters measured on the microCT and histological reconstruction suggest a strong linear relationship between the two with p-values of 0.777, 0.717, 0.705, 0.666, and 0.687 for BV/TV, BS/TV, Tb.Pf Tb.Th, and Tb.Sp, respectively. Bland-Altman and mountain plots suggest good agreement between BV/TV measurements on the two reconstruction methods. Conclusions: This novel method for three-dimensional histological reconstruction provides researchers with a tool that enables the assessment of accurate trabecular microarchitecture and histological information simultaneously.

[PMID: 36482105 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04819-w] [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: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to develop a customized framework for evaluating the registration accuracy of four registration techniques and measuring the untouched surface area of canal instrumentation by visually inspecting and calculating the overlapping area of the surfaces. METHODS Twenty-one mandibular incisors were scanned by micro-computed tomography before and after instrumentation. Elastix registration, surface registration, manual registration, and DataViewer registration techniques were used to align the pre- and post-operative datasets. The customized MeVisLab framework was created to investigate the registration accuracy by visual inspection and calculating overlapping areas. The canal surfaces were imported into the same framework to measure the untouched surface area and the consistence test was validated. The correlation between registration accuracy and untouched surface area was analyzed. RESULTS There is a statistically significant difference between manual registration and automatic registration (P < 0.05). There is no statistical difference between the two untouched surface measure methods (P > 0.05). The partial correlation coefficients for the untouched surface area and registration accuracy were 0.45 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This application framework based on free customizable software, allows a new method to measure registration accuracy and untouched surface area in an efficient and sensitive way. The application of a precise registration method would improve the quality of micro-CT canal instrumentation studies. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study developed a customized framework based on free software for evaluating the registration accuracy of different registration techniques and measuring the untouched surface area of canal instrumentation could help researchers to improve the quality of micro-CT studies of canal instrumentation.

Clin Oral Investig 2022; 26:6347-6359. [PMID: 35802190 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04590-y] [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: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to study the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for measuring peri-implant bone thickness in living patients via a novel visualization method (NVM). MATERIAL AND METHODS The validity of the NVM was verified ex vivo by measuring the same peri-implant bone thicknesses in bovine ribs by using raw postoperative CBCT (clinical measurement, CM), the visualized fused images obtained using the NVM (visualized fused measurement, VF), and hard tissue sections (gold standard measurement, GS). The NVM was applied by deconstructing the postoperative CBCT model into the Modelpost-bone and Modelimplant and replacing it with bone from preoperative CBCT and standard implant models, respectively. In vivo, 52 implants were included, and the VF of each implant was obtained using data processing methods similar to those used ex vivo. Then, we compared the results of CM and VF. RESULTS Ex vivo, the VF was similar to GS, while CM usually underestimated the peri-implant bone thickness, especially at the implant shoulder (P < 0.01). In vivo, on CBCT, areas with a peri-implant bone thickness of 0-0.50 mm were not visible, while those with a thickness of 0.50-1.00 mm were occasionally visible. There was less underestimation of bone along the implant long axis. CONCLUSIONS Thin peri-implant bones could be completely underestimated on CBCT. CBCT scans alone are insufficient to warrant surgical intervention. Our NVM facilitates the accurate visual assessment of implant dimensions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The thickness of peri-implant bone could be completely underestimated when thinner than 1.0 mm in living patients. Familiarity with these confusing CBCT results may help clinicians and patients avoid further unnecessary evaluation, misdiagnosis, and invasive treatment.

Radiographic assessment of deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and collagen-stabilized DBBM for transalveolar sinus floor elevation: A 2-year retrospective cohort study. Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2022; 24:176-187. [PMID: 35167179 DOI: 10.1111/cid.13070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Revised: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Theoretically, collagen-stabilized deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM-C) has better operability compared with DBBM. DBBM-C avoids dispersing during the transalveolar sinus floor elevation (TSFE) because of its block shape. PURPOSE To evaluate radiological changes of using DBBM-C in TSFE. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who received TSFE using DBBM (Bio-Oss®) or DBBM-C (Bio-Oss® collagen) with simultaneous implantation were recruited. Graft bone height apically (aGH), endo-sinus bone gain (ESBG), and crest bone level (CBL) were assessed through panoramic radiograph and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). RESULTS A total of 138 patients (138 implants) were retrospectively enrolled. After 2 years of implantation, the incidence of postoperative complications was 4.2% (95% CI: 0.9%-11.7%) and 4.5% (95% CI: 0.9%-12.7%) for DBBM and DBBM-C groups, respectively. Measured in panoramic radiograph, ΔaGH of DBBM-C (1.8 mm, SD: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.2-2.4, P = 0.044) group was significantly higher than that of DBBM (1.2 mm, SD: 1.4, 95% CI: 0.7-1.7) after 24 months. No significant differences for ΔCBL were noted during the entire observation period. Measured through CBCT, ESBG was 5.0 (SD: 1.8, 95% CI: 4.1-5.8) mm in DBBM group and 4.6 (SD: 1.6, 95% CI: 3.9-5.3) mm in DBBM-C group 24 months after implantation. The aGH value of DBBM-C group was significantly higher compared with DBBM in CBCT (OR = 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1-1.9, P = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS DBBM-C could achieve similar bone generation as DBBM in TSFE. Both materials could maintain aGH, ESBG, and CBL relatively stable 2 years after implantation.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 50:109-115. [PMID: 32507405 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2020.04.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2019] [Revised: 02/19/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Successful intrasinus graft consolidation is essential for the treatment outcome of transalveolar sinus floor elevation (SFE). This study was performed to examine the dynamics and risk indicators related to the elevation height after transalveolar SFE with grafting material and simultaneous implant placement. Fifty-two patients with 55 sites undergoing transalveolar SFE with immediate implant placement were enrolled retrospectively. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were collected and saved in DICOM format, at the following time-points: pre-surgery (T0), immediately post-surgery (T1), and 6 months post-surgery (T2). Voxel-based CBCT superimposition was performed to measure the sinus width, residual alveolar height, implant protrusion length, total elevation height, and apical graft height. The change in total elevation height from T1 to T2 was defined as the study outcome. Clinical and linear variables were analysed using linear regression. From T1 to T2, the total elevation height showed an average reduction of 1.0±1.1mm, while 10.9% sites showed an increased elevation height. Univariate regression analysis showed no significant correlation between tested clinical or linear variables and the study outcome. The results suggest that the change in elevation height was not influenced by the alveolar or sinus dimensions, graft materials, implant diameter, implant protrusion length, or the total elevation height at T1.
