Do the number of zirconia implants and the thickness of CBCT image reconstruction affect the detection of peri-implant bone defect? A diagnostic accuracy ex vivo study. Clin Oral Implants Res 2024. [PMID: 39072795 DOI: 10.1111/clr.14336] [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: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the influence of multiplanar reconstruction thickness on the detection of peri-implant bone defects with a standalone zirconia implant and compare it to when another implant is in the vicinity using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Five dry human mandibles were used to create twenty implant sites in the second premolar and first molar regions. The OP300 Maxio was used to acquire CBCT images (90 kVp, 6.3 mA, 5 × 5 cm FOV, and 0.125 mm3 voxel size) before and after creating 3 mm peri-implant bone defects in the buccal aspect of the premolar region. Half of the scans featured a single zirconia implant in the premolar region, while the others had two implants in the premolar and molar regions. Three reconstruction thicknesses (0.125 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm) were considered for the multiplanar reconstruction analyses. Five oral and maxillofacial radiologists assessed the detection of peri-implant bone defects using a 5-point scale. Diagnostic parameters were calculated and compared using Two-way ANOVA (α = .05). RESULTS The studied factors showed no significant influence on the diagnosis of peri-implant bone defects (p > .05). Diagnostic performance was notably higher with a single implant, especially with a 2-mm reconstruction thickness (AUC = 0.88, sensitivity = 0.68, specificity = 0.94). Although the differences were not statistically significant, the results were more modest when two implants were present (AUC = 0.80, sensitivity = 0.58, specificity = 0.82). CONCLUSIONS The presence of an adjacent zirconia implant and variations in reconstruction thickness did not influence the detection of 3 mm buccal peri-implant bone defects on CBCT images.

Diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography with modified grayscale range for detection of buccal cortical plate defects adjacent to dental implants. Dent Res J (Isfahan) 2023; 20:90. [PMID: 37810449 PMCID: PMC10557990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2022] [Revised: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with a modified grayscale range for the detection of buccal cortical plate defects adjacent to dental implants. Materials and Methods In this in vitro experimental study, titanium implants were inserted in 168 fresh bovine bone blocks with 1-1.5 mm of buccal cortical plate thickness. The blocks were randomly divided into four groups (n = 42). No defect was created in the control blocks. In the three experimental groups, cortical plate defects were randomly created in the cervical, middle, or apical third by a round bur with a 2-mm diameter (n = 42). All blocks underwent CBCT with and without change in the grayscale range. Two observers evaluated all images regarding the presence/absence of defects. Kappa test is used for the agreement of the observers. The diagnostic accuracy of the two modalities was compared by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) (P ≤ 0.05). The sensitivity and specificity values were also compared. Results The AUC was not significantly different between the two modalities with and without altered grayscale range (0.754 vs. 0.762, respectively, P = 0.716). The diagnostic sensitivity of CBCT with and without change in the grayscale range was 51% and 52%, respectively, with a specificity of 100% for both. The diagnostic accuracy of CBCT with and without altered grayscale range had no significant difference for apical and middle third defects (P > 0.05) and was significantly higher than that for the cervical third defects (P < 0.05). Conclusion Changing the grayscale range does not improve the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT for the detection of buccal cortical plate defects adjacent to dental implants.

Oral Radiol 2023:10.1007/s11282-023-00683-w. [PMID: 37058184 DOI: 10.1007/s11282-023-00683-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/15/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this work was to perform an integrative review of the inspection of peri-implant bone defects using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). An electronic search was performed in the PubMed database using the following scientific terms: CBCT or Cone Beam computed tomography; dental implant; peri-implant; bone loss; defects. The survey identified 267 studies, of which 18 were considered relevant to this study. These studies provided important data taking into account the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography in the detection and measurement of peri-implant bone defects such as fenestrations, dehiscence and intraosseous circumferential defects. The effectiveness of CBCT in aiding in geometric bone calculations and in the diagnosis of peri-implant defects was influenced by factors such as artefacts, defect size, bone wall thickness, implant material, adjustment of acquisition parameters and observer experience. A not insignificant number of studies compared intraoral radiography to CBCT in the detection of peri-implant bone loss. CBCT was clearly superior to intraoral radiography in the detection of all peri-implant bone defects, except for defects located in the interproximal zone. In general, studies have shown that peri-implant bone measurements adjacent to the implant surface can be correctly determined, as well as the diagnosis of peri-implant bone defects with an average discrepancy of less than 1 mm from the actual measurement of the defect.

Sun Y, Hu S, Xie Z, Zhou Y. Relevant factors of posterior mandible lingual plate perforation during immediate implant placement: a virtual implant placement study using CBCT. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:76. [PMID: 36747164 PMCID: PMC9903431 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-022-02696-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the influence of cross-sectional type and morphological parameters at the mandibular molar sites on lingual plate perforation (LPP) during the immediate implant placement (IIP). METHODS 181 implants were virtually placed in the mandibular molar sites on the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Each cross-section of the implantation site was divided into the Undercut (U)/Parallel (P)/Convex (C) types. Morphologically relevant parameters were measured on the cross-sections, including width of the upper end (Wb), width of the lower end (Wc), vertical height (V), angle between the natural crown axis and the alveolar bone axis (∠β), LC depth (LCD), LC height, and angle between the horizontal line and the line connecting the most prominent point and the most concave point of lingual plate (∠α). Besides, the distance from the end of the virtual implant and the lingual bone plate of the cross-section (DIL) was calculated. Relationships between all the morphologically relevant parameters and the DIL were further analyzed. RESULTS A total of 77 (42.5%) cross-sections were classified as U-type, which was the most common one, accounting for 63% of the second molar regions. All LPP cases and most of the nearly LPP (87.9%) cases occurred at the U-type cross-sections, and the relationship between the DIL and the morphological parameters can be expressed by a multivariate linear equation. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence rate of U-type cross-sections in the second molar region was very high, and the risk of LPP should be considered during IIP. Except for the U-type, significant large LCD, small Wc, and large ∠β were the important relevant factors. CBCT and multivariate linear equations could help to assess the LPP risk and provide a reference for implant placement design pre-surgery.

Immediate implant placement with simultaneous bone augmentation versus delayed implant placement following alveolar ridge preservation: A clinical and radiographic study. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023; 124:101291. [PMID: 36155090 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2022.09.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 09/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of immediate implant placement (IIP) with guided bone regeneration (GBR) as compared to delayed implant placement (DIP) following alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) and to identify the potential risk factors influencing these outcomes. METHODOLOGY A total of 56 patients (IIP = 28 vs. DIP = 28) with class I or II bony defects received 56 implants were included. GBR procedure using Bio-Oss® bone substitute mixed with advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) and covered by Bio-Gide® membrane and additional A-PRF membrane was performed either simultaneously with the IIP or earlier at the time of ARP in DIP. Clinical and 3-D radiographic analyses of bone level, thickness, and density were performed at three-time intervals (T1, immediately; T2, 6-7 months; and T3, 1.5 to 2 years post-implantation), corresponding to the neck, coronal, middle, and apex of implants. RESULTS The survival rate was 100% in both groups. IIP showed significant favorable outcomes regarding distal marginal bone level (anterior maxilla, T1-T3) and neck and coronal horizontal facial bone thickness (HFBT) (posterior maxilla, T1; and anterior maxilla, T1-T3, respectively) compared to DIP. However, DIP showed significant facial bone density at the neck and coronal parts in the anterior maxilla (T1) and the coronal part in the posterior maxilla (T3). The facial marginal bone level change was positively correlated with HFBT change (P = 0.007), which is negatively correlated with the secondary implant stability (P = 0.019). The implant region (anterior or posterior maxilla) was the only factor affecting on Implant stability quotient value (ISQ) and change in HFBT (P ˂ 0.05). CONCLUSION Overall, the IIP combined with GBR in the post-extraction sites with pre-implant class I or II bony defects had some favorable outcomes compared to DIP after ARP. However, the clinical outcomes, ISQ value, and changes in bone level, thickness, and density from T1-T3 were comparable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the center of resistance (Cres) of the maxillary central incisor in models with and without the pulp cavity and to evaluate the association of pulp cavity/tooth volume ratio and difference in Cres position between the two models. MATERIALS AND METHODS CBCT images of the right maxillary central incisor were collected from 18 subjects. Pulp cavity/tooth volume ratio was measured, and finite element models of teeth and periodontal structures were generated. Cres location was presented as a percentage of root length measured from the root apex. Differences in Cres positions between models were compared using the paired t-test, while the correlation between pulp cavity/tooth volume ratio and a difference in Cres was evaluated by Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS For the pulp cavity model, the average location of the Cres measured from the apex of the root was 58.8% ± 3.0%, which resulted in a difference of 4.1% ± 1.1% (0.5 mm) apically, when compared with the model without pulp cavity. Differences in Cres between the models were statistically significant (P < 0.01), while the correlation between pulp cavity/tooth volume ratio and a difference in Cres between models was significantly positive (r = 0.709, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In the pulp cavity model, the Cres was located in a more apical position. The difference in Cres between models increased as the pulp cavity/tooth volume ratio increased. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The line of force must be applied more apically in the pulp cavity model to achieve the desired orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the visibility of peri-implant fenestration and dehiscences on computed tomography (CT) images taken with 2 different doses. MATERIAL AND METHODS The defects were created on the apical of 6 implants randomly selected from 20 titanium implants placed in the ribs, and dehiscences were created on the cervical of 8 implants. No defects were created around 6 implants. Macroscopic analysis of the implanted ribs was accepted as the gold standard. From the samples, images were taken by using both ultra-low dose (80 kVp, 50 mA, 1.25 mm slice thickness) and low dose (100 kVp, 50 mA, 1.25 mm slice thickness) protocols in CT. The images obtained were evaluated using a 5-point scale. RESULTS No significant difference was found between the area under the receiver operating characteristic of ultra-low dose protocol and low dose protocol in both defects based on the Wilcoxon test (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The ultra-low dose protocol could be applied by adhering to the "as low as reasonably achievable" principle in the diagnosis of peri-implant defects.

Diagnostic accuracy of imaging examinations for peri-implant bone defects around titanium and zirconium dioxide implants: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Imaging Sci Dent 2022; 51:363-372.

Abstract
Purpose This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the diagnostic accuracy of imaging examinations for the detection of peri-implant bone defects and compared the diagnostic accuracy between titanium (Ti) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) implants. Materials and Methods Six online databases were searched, and studies were selected based on eligibility criteria. The studies included in the systematic review underwent bias and applicability assessment using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) tool and a random-effect meta-analysis. Summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curves were constructed to compare the effect of methodological differences in relation to the variables of each group. Results The search strategy yielded 719 articles. Titles and abstracts were read and 61 studies were selected for full-text reading. Among them, 24 studies were included in this systematic review. Most included studies had a low risk of bias (QUADAS-2). Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) presented sufficient data for quantitative analysis in ZrO2 and Ti implants. The meta-analysis revealed high levels of inconsistency in the latter group. Regarding sROC curves, the area under the curve (AUC) was larger for the overall Ti group (AUC=0.79) than for the overall ZrO2 group (AUC=0.69), but without a statistically significant difference between them. In Ti implants, the AUCs for dehiscence defects (0.73) and fenestration defects (0.87) showed a statistically significant difference. Conclusion The diagnostic accuracy of CBCT imaging in the assessment of peri-implant bone defects was similar between Ti and ZrO2 implants, and fenestration was more accurately diagnosed than dehiscence in Ti implants.

Abstract
Background: Beam hardening and scattering artifacts from high-density objects such as dental implants adversely affect the image quality and subsequently the detection of fenestration or dehiscence around dental implants. Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm of two cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems for detection of peri-implant fenestration and dehiscence. Material and Methods: In this experimental study, thirty-six titanium implants were placed in bone blocks of bovine ribs. Fenestration and dehiscence were created in the buccal bone around implants.
CBCT images were obtained using Cranex 3D and ProMax 3D CBCT systems with and without MAR algorithm. Two experienced radiologists observed the images. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.
The Kappa coefficient of agreement, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of different imaging modalities were calculated and analyzed. Results: In both CBCT systems, the use of MAR algorithm decreased the area under the ROC curve and subsequently the diagnostic accuracy for the detection of fenestration and dehiscence.
The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of both CBCT systems were higher in absence of the MAR algorithm. The specificity of ProMax 3D for detection of fenestration was equal with/without the MAR algorithm. Conclusion: Although CBCT is suitable for detection of peri-implant defects, the application of the MAR algorithm does not enhance the detection of peri-implant fenestration and dehiscence.

Imaging Sci Dent 2021; 51:1-7.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to assess artifacts generated in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of 3 types of dental implants using 3 metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm conditions (pre-acquisition MAR, postacquisition MAR, and no MAR), and 2 peak kilovoltage (kVp) settings. Materials and Methods Titanium-zirconium, titanium, and zirconium alloy implants were placed in a dry mandible. CBCT images were acquired using 84 and 90 kVp and at normal resolution for all 3 MAR conditions. The images were analyzed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) to calculate the intensity of artifacts for each combination of material and settings. A 3-factor analysis of variance model with up to 3-way interactions was used to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference in the mean intensity of artifacts associated with each factor. Results The analysis of all 3 MAR conditions showed that using no MAR resulted in substantially more severe artifacts than either of the 2 MAR algorithms for the 3 implant materials; however, there were no significant differences between pre- and post-acquisition MAR. The 90 kVp setting generated less intense artifacts on average than the 84 kVp setting. The titanium-zirconium alloy generated significantly less intense artifacts than zirconium. Titanium generated artifacts at an intermediate level relative to the other 2 implant materials, but was not statistically significantly different from either. Conclusion This in vitro study suggests that artifacts can be minimized by using a titanium-zirconium alloy at the 90 kVp setting, with either MAR setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the effect of voxel size on detection of fenestration, dehiscence, and furcation defects using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS This in vitro, experimental study evaluated 4 sheep skulls with both the maxilla and mandible accompanied by the surrounding soft tissue. Fenestration (n = 30), dehiscence (n = 65), and furcation defects (n = 46; 18 grade I, 25 grade II, and 3 grade III) were randomly created by round and needle burs in both jaws, and 40 areas served as control sites. CBCT scans were obtained with 0.300 and 0.150 mm3 voxel sizes and 8 × 11cm2 field of view (FOV), and were randomly observed by four observers (two oral and maxillofacial radiologists and two periodontists). The kappa values, sensitivity and specificity were calculated for each voxel size and compared using paired t test. RESULTS By an increase in image resolution, diagnostic sensitivity increased while specificity decreased. The kappa values for fenestration (0.602-0.623), and grade III furcation defects (0.903-1.00) were optimal (> 0.6), and almost similar for both voxel sizes. The kappa values for dehiscence, and grades I and II furcation defects were unfavorable (< 0.6) and almost similar for both voxel sizes, except for grade I furcation defects, which had a significant difference in kappa values between the two voxel sizes (0.014 and 0.34). CONCLUSION Smaller voxel size had higher sensitivity and lower specificity for detection of all defects except for grade I furcation defects, for which the smaller voxel size had higher sensitivity and higher specificity.

IRANIAN ENDODONTIC JOURNAL 2021; 16:43-48. [PMID: 36704411 PMCID: PMC9709875 DOI: 10.22037/iej.v16i1.25145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2020] [Revised: 11/14/2020] [Accepted: 12/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Introduction Our study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of different voxel sizes for cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) when detecting strip perforations of variable sizes. We used 0.2 and 0.3 mm3 voxel for detecting root strip perforations. Methods and Materials This was an in vitro study conducted on 155 extracted humans' mandibular first molars. The teeth were randomly divided into five groups (n=31). Perforation were not induced in the control group. In the remaining four groups, strip perforations of 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 mm diameters were created in the mesiolingual canal using #3 Gates Glidden drills. The CBCT scans were taken first with a 12×9 cm field of view (FOV), 90 kVp, 4 mA, and 0.2 mm3 voxel size for 24 sec and then with a 12×9 cm FOV, 90 kVp, 2 mA, and 0.3 mm3 voxel size for another 24 sec. Two observers evaluated the images and reported the largest diameter of perforations. The results were compared with the gold standard values (determined by an electronic digital caliper) using statistical methods, including the kappa coefficient and generalized estimating equation (P<0.05). Results Based on the findings of our study, the inter-observer agreement ranged from 58-100%, while the intra-observer agreement was reported to be around 100%. The difference in accuracy between 0.2 and 0.3 mm3 voxel sizes was not statistically significant (P>0.05). In addition, the accuracy of detecting different perforation sizes in the CBCT did not follow a specific pattern. Conclusion This in vitro study showed that CBCT is a reliable diagnostic tool, and even in lower dosages of 0.3 mm3 voxel size, image resolution and diagnostic accuracy was not affected. Moreover, smaller root perforations could be detected as accurately as larger ones with CBCT.

Abstract
Background/purpose Information regarding agreements between periapical radiograph (PA) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in detecting peri-implant defect is still scarce. The aim of this clinical study was to compare agreements between PA and CBCT in detecting peri-implant bone defect. Materials and methods This retrospective clinical study enrolled 32 patients with both PA and CBCT filmed right after implant placement. Four modalities were used for film reading: PA1 (original), PA2 (enhanced brightness/contrast), CBCT1 (selected axial and mesial-distal direction images) and CBCT2 (all data with software). 2 experienced and 2 inexperienced observers scored all films. Intra- and inter-observer agreements were estimated with Cohen's kappa coefficient. Categorized agreements were compared and differences among four modalities were calculated. Results Agreements of PA were better than CBCT when detecting peri-implant bone defects in inter-observer agreements (median kappa 0.471 vs. 0.192; p = 0.016). Moreover, agreements in experienced observers were better than inexperienced observers (median kappa 0.883 vs. 0.567; p < 0.001). There was significant difference among four modalities except for experienced observer 2 (p = 0.218). Conclusion Agreements of PA are better than CBCT when detecting peri-implant bone defects, especially for inter-observer agreements. Experienced observers are more consistent in assessment than inexperienced ones.

J Periodontol 2020; 92:592-601. [PMID: 32846005 PMCID: PMC8247288 DOI: 10.1002/jper.20-0222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate whether buccal bone thickness (BBT), implant diameter, and abutment/crown material influence the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to determine the buccal bone level at titanium implants. METHODS Two implant beds (i.e., narrow and standard diameter) were prepared in each of 36 porcine bone blocks. The implant beds were positioned at a variable distance from the buccal bone surface; thus, resulting in three BBT groups (i.e., >0.5 to 1.0; >1.0 to 1.5; >1.5 to 2.0 mm). In half of the blocks, a buccal bone dehiscence of random extent ("depth") was created and implants were mounted with different abutment/crown material (i.e., titanium abutments with a metal-ceramic crown and zirconia abutments with an all-ceramic zirconia crown). The distance from the implant shoulder to the buccal bone crest was measured on cross-sectional CBCT images and compared with the direct measurements at the bone blocks. RESULTS While abutment/crown material and implant diameter had no effect on the detection accuracy of the buccal bone level at dental implants in CBCT scans, BBT had a significant effect. Specifically, when BBT was ≤1.0 mm, a dehiscence was often diagnosed although not present, that is, the sensitivity was high (95.8%), but the specificity (12.5%) and the detection accuracy (54.2%) were low. Further, the average measurement error of the distance from the implant shoulder to the buccal bone crest was 1.6 mm. CONCLUSIONS Based on the present laboratory study, BBT has a major impact on the correct diagnosis of the buccal bone level at dental titanium implants in CBCT images; in cases where the buccal bone is ≤1 mm thick, detection of the buccal bone level is largely inaccurate.

Abstract
There is a lack of evidence in the attitude and prescribing practice of implantologists in dental implant post-operative assessment; therefore, the aims of this cross-sectional study were to investigate these habits and the knowledge about radiographic aspect of retrograde peri-implantitis (RPI) among Italian implantologists. A questionnaire was sent via email to dentists randomly selected from the register of implantology and oral surgery societies. It included three questions: the preferred X-ray after implant placement, the timing of post-operative assessment and the knowledge of the RPI radiographic representation. A final sample of 434 implantologists was included in the study. The majority of them (84.3%) perform a periapical X-ray as control radiograph and picked the correct radiographic representation of RPI (74.3%), without statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) for sex, age, years of working practice and number of implants placed per year. Just 47.7% of dentists perform a control radiograph at prostheses delivery, to establish a proper baseline. A statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was detectable only for the number of implants placed per year, with dentists placing > 80 implants selecting the correct choice. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to report data on attitude of implantologists in radiographic imaging after implant placement.

Abstract
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has strong potential to be utilized in various aspects of veterinary dentistry. Using ex vivo rat maxillary bone and teeth, the purpose of this study was to compare gray value, surface area, and volumetric measurements of teeth with and without experimental periodontitis by CBCT. Periodontitis was induced in 36 molar teeth, while 36 teeth with a healthy periodontium served as control. Images of each specimen along with teeth were obtained using CBCT. The following measurements for each tooth with periodontitis (n = 36) were recorded: gray value measurement, width, height, depth, surface area, and volume of the alveolar bone loss. For the control group (n = 36), gray value measurement, surface area, and volume of the alveolar bone were recorded. All measurements were repeated after 3 weeks. As the gold standard, the rat maxillas were decalcified and paraffin-embedded for further immunocytochemical study. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. Significance level was set at P < .05. Correlation values for gray value, width, height, depth, surface area, and volume measurements were 0.983, 0.966, 0.962, 0.880, 0.998, and 0.999, respectively, for the first and second measurements. One way ANOVA showed statistically significant differences between teeth with and without alveolar bone destruction conducted for gray value, surface area, and volume measurements (P = .000). Mean gray value, surface area, and volume measurements decreased 56.46%, 81.89%, and 78.56%, respectively, for teeth with alveolar bone destruction in comparison to healthy teeth. Cone-beam computed tomography provided useful qualitative and quantitative information regarding induced periodontitis in the rat maxilla.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of linear measurements in the horizontal and vertical dimensions based on object position and slice inclination in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Materials and Methods Ten dry sheep hemi-mandibles, each with 4 sites (incisor, canine, premolar, and molar), were evaluated when either centrally or peripherally positioned within the field of view (FOV) with the image slices subjected to either oblique or orthogonal inclinations. Four types of images were created of each region: central/cross-sectional, central/coronal, peripheral/cross-sectional, and peripheral/coronal. The horizontal and vertical dimensions were measured for each region of each image type. Direct measurements of each region were obtained using a digital caliper in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. CBCT and direct measurements were compared using the Bland-Altman plot method. P values <0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance. Results The buccolingual dimension of the incisor and premolar areas and the height of the incisor, canine, and molar areas showed statistically significant differences on the peripheral/coronal images compared to the direct measurements (P<0.05). Molar area height in the central/coronal slices also differed significantly from the direct measurements (P<0.05). Cross-sectional images of either the central or peripheral position had no marked difference from the gold-standard values, indicating sufficient accuracy. Conclusion Peripheral object positioning within the FOV in combination with applying an orthogonal inclination to the slices resulted in significant inaccuracies in the horizontal and vertical measurements. The most undesirable effect was observed in the molar area and the vertical dimension.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with that of parallel (PPA) and oblique projected periapical (OPA) radiography for the detection of different types of peri-implant bone defects. Materials and Methods Forty implants inserted into bovine rib blocks were used. Thirty had standardized bone defects (10 each of angular, fenestration, and dehiscence defects), and 10 were defect-free controls. CBCT, PPA, and OPA images of the samples were acquired. The images were evaluated twice by each of 2 blinded observers regarding the presence or absence and the type of the defects. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were determined for each radiographic technique. The 3 modalities were compared using the Fisher exact and chi-square tests, with P<0.05 considered as statistical significance. Results High inter-examiner reliability was observed for the 3 techniques. Angular defects were detected with high sensitivity and specificity by all 3 modalities. CBCT and OPA showed similar AUC and sensitivity in the detection of fenestration defects. In the identification of dehiscence defects, CBCT showed the highest sensitivity, followed by OPA and PPA, respectively. CBCT and OPA had a significantly greater ability than PPA to detect fenestration and dehiscence defects (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of OPA radiography in addition to routine PPA imaging as a radiographic follow-up method for dental implantation greatly enhances the visualization of fenestration and dehiscence defects. CBCT properly depicted all defect types studied, but it involves a relatively high dose of radiation and cost.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare root surface area (RSA) measurements of single-root teeth in a sheep mandible based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with measurements made with an optical scanner. STUDY DESIGN Eight anterior teeth of a sheep cadaver mandible were scanned in situ by using CBCT with 3 different exposure parameters, followed by treatment with smoothing software. The teeth were then extracted and scanned individually with an optical scanner. Three-dimensional digital models of the teeth were reconstructed on the basis of CBCT and optical scanner data. RSA data were calculated, and an equivalence test was used to statistically compare the measurements with significance of difference established at α = 0.05. RESULTS The means of the differences between RSA measurements from CBCT and optical scanning ranged from 0.33% to 3.01%. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 methods. The smoothing parameters for good fitness of the linear regression were determined to be 0.8 for the smooth factor, 8 for iterations, and 0 for compensate shrinkage. CONCLUSIONS The proposed CBCT technique to measure RSA is feasible. RSA data obtained from CBCT in situ are as accurate as optical scanner measurements ex vivo.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to assess the effect of changing the field of view on the dimensional accuracy of CBCT imaging. METHODS The implant-bone models were randomly numbered from 1 to 13 by the principal researcher, and then on each model at the incisors region three positions were selected and marked on the model with a permanent blue marker. Then at each marked position three radio-opaque 'RO' markers "gutta-percha pieces" were glued on the model surfaces as following; two pieces on the facial surface one occlusally (at the alveolar crest) and one apically (at the inferior border of the model) both were on the same vertical line and perpendicular to the horizontal plane, while the third one was placed on the lingual surface opposing the occlusally placed buccal piece. CBCT examinations of each bone model were performed using Cranex3Dx CBCT (Helsinki, Finland) machine. Each model was scanned four times with standardised tube current and voltage of 12.5 mA and 90 kVp respectively at four different FOVs. The FOVs used were as following: Small FOV: 50 x 50 mm with voxel size 200 µm, Midi FOV: 61 x 78 mm with voxel size 300 µm, Medium FOV: 78 x 78 mm with voxel size 300 µm, Large FOV: 78 x 150 mm with voxel size 350 µm. The reference standard in this study was the real linear measurements that were obtained directly on the implant-bone models using high precision sliding electronic digital calliper with 0-150 mm internal and external measuring range and 0.01 mm resolution accuracy. The index test in the current study was the CBCT linear measurements obtained from CBCT images of implant-bone models using small, midi, medium and large FOVs. RESULTS The results of this study showed that both medium and large FOVs showed a statistically significant difference, which could be translated into clinical relevance only in thickness measurements. CONCLUSION The interpretation of these results leads to the assumption that increasing the FOV size together with voxel size could adversely affect the accuracy of CBCT linear measurements, especially when small distances are to be assessed.

Buccal bone thickness at dental implants in the maxillary anterior region with large bony defects at time of immediate implant placement: A 1-year cohort study. Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2018; 21:73-79. [PMID: 30548160 PMCID: PMC6590219 DOI: 10.1111/cid.12701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2018] [Revised: 10/20/2018] [Accepted: 10/28/2018] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Background There is lack of studies regarding preservation and possible changes in BBT at dental implants. Purpose To assess, on cone beam computer tomograms, the presence of bone at the time of tooth extraction in the maxillary esthetic region and the mean buccal bone thickness 1 month and 1 year after final restoration placement in patients with large bony defects. Material and Methods In a cohort study, patients were selected presenting a failing tooth with a large bony defect (test group [n = 20]: large bony defect, immediate placed implant and delayed provisionalization). Results were compared with a group in which patients presented a failing tooth without or with a small bony defect: (control group [n = 20]: without or small bony defect, immediate placed implant and delayed provisionalization). Cone beam computer tomograms were made preoperatively, and 1 month and 1 year after placement of the restoration, and buccal bone thickness was analyzed. Results In both groups approximately 1 mm of buccal bone thickness was present after 1 month and 1 year, without a significant difference between the groups. Conclusion In patients with large bony defects at a failing tooth it was possible to create a bone layer buccally of the implant and this bone layer remained stable during a 1‐year follow‐up; there were no significant differences between thickness of buccal bone at 1 month and 1 year in patients with large buccal bony defects and patients without or with small bony defects.

Accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography, dental magnetic resonance imaging, and intraoral radiography for detecting peri-implant bone defects at single zirconia implants-An in vitro study. Clin Oral Implants Res 2018; 29:922-930. [PMID: 30112833 DOI: 10.1111/clr.13348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2018] [Revised: 07/09/2018] [Accepted: 07/09/2018] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the diagnostic value of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral radiography (IR), and dental magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) for detecting and classifying peri-implant bone defects at zirconia implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight zirconia implants were inserted in bovine ribs, 24 of which had standardized defects (1-wall, 2-wall, 3-wall, 4-wall) in two sizes (1 and 3 mm). CBCT, IR, and dMRI were performed and analyzed twice by four readers unaware of the nature of the defects. Cohen's and Fleiss' kappa (κ), sensitivity, and specificity were calculated for the presence/absence of bone defects, defect size, and defect type. Cochran's Q-test with post hoc McNemar was used to test for statistical differences. RESULTS A high intra- and inter-reader reliability (κ range: 0.832-1) and sensitivity/specificity (IR: 0.97/0.96; CBCT: 0.99/1; dMRI: 1/0.99) for bone defect detection were observed for all three imaging methods. For defect type classification, intra- (κ range: 0.505-0.778) and inter-reader (κ: 0.411) reliability of IR were lower compared to CBCT (κ range intrareader: 0.667-0.889; κ inter-reader: 0.629) and dMRI (κ range intrareader: 0.61-0.832; κ inter-reader: 0.712). The sensitivity for correct defect type classification was not significantly different for CBCT (0.81) and dMRI (0.83; p = 1), but was significantly lower for IR (0.68; vs. CBCT p = 0.003; vs. dMRI p = 0.004). The sensitivity advantage of CBCT and dMRI for defect classification was smaller for 1-mm defects (CBCT/dMRI/IR: 0.68/0.72/0.63, no significant difference) than for 3-mm defects (CBCT/dMRI/IR: 0.95/0.94/0.74; CBCT vs. IR p = 0.0001; dMRI vs. IR p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Within the limitations of an in vitro study, IR can be recommended as the initial imaging method for evaluating peri-implant bone defects at zirconia implants. CBCT provides higher diagnostic accuracy of defect classification at the expense of higher cost and radiation dose. Dental MRI may be a promising imaging method for evaluating peri-implant bone defects at zirconia implants in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the accuracy of linear and volumetric measurements of artificial external root resorption (ERR) cavities by cone beam CT (CBCT) images obtained at four voxel sizes and by using four different software ex vivo. METHODS ERR cavities were created on 40 extracted single rooted anterior teeth. Images were obtained by using Planmeca CBCT unit at endo mode (0.075 mm); high-resolution mode (0.1 mm); high-definition mode (0.15 mm) and normal resolution mode (0.2 mm) voxel sizes. Images were analyzed by two observers using four different software (Romexis, 3D Doctor, ITK-SNAP, and OsiriX). (1) Diameter; (2) height; (3) depth; and (4) volume of the ERR were measured. CBCT measurements were then compared with direct physical measurements. ANOVA was used with general linear model analysis. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS One-way ANOVA general linear model analysis showed no significant difference between or within observers for diameter, height, depth and volume measurements (p > 0.05). We found significant differences for diameter and volume measurements among softwares in terms of mean differences as compared to mean standard direct measurements (p < 0.05). We found statistically significant differences among voxel sizes and software for height measurements (p < 0.05). In addition, we found significant differences for diameter and volume measurements (p < 0.05) suggesting more accurate measurements for the cervical region when compared to apical region. CONCLUSIONS Observers using CBCT images obtained at four voxel sizes performed similarly in the quantification of artificial ERR with clinically insignificant distinction between CBCT softwares used.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of detecting and measuring buccal bone thickness (BBT) adjacent to titanium implants in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. STUDY DESIGN Titanium implants (1, 2, or 3), abutments, and metal-ceramic crowns were inserted into 40 bone blocks with various BBTs. CBCT images were acquired in various settings: Voxel sizes (0.2 and 0.13 mm) and reconstruction section thicknesses (2.0 and 5.0 mm) were assessed by 3 examiners. True BBT was measured in digital photographs of the bone blocks. Buccal bone detection was evaluated by sensitivity and specificity. BBT was evaluated by 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) between the true and the CBCT measurements and by calculating the difference between the true measurement and the CBCT measurement (Di-BBT). RESULTS Detection of buccal bone exhibited high sensitivity (0.86-1) and low specificity (0.14-1). More implants in the field of view, large voxel size, and thick image reconstruction sections had a negative impact on buccal bone detection. ANOVA showed statistically significantly larger BBT for the CBCT measurements in all settings (1.07-1.21 mm) compared with the true measurements (0.85 mm). Di-BBT was mostly within 0.5 mm. CONCLUSIONS BBT adjacent to titanium implants is overestimated when evaluated on CBCT cross-sectional images.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the magnitude of artifacts related to titanium and zirconium implants at different distances and angulations and their impact on cone beam CT(CBCT) image quality. METHODS CBCT images were obtained before and after the insertion of titanium and zirconium implants in a mandible on different CBCT units: Picasso Trio, ProMax 3D and 3D Accuitomo 80. Artifact was assessed by measuring the standard deviation (SD) of gray values and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of 11 regions of interest (ROIs) at different distances (1.5 cm, 2.5 cm and 3.5 cm) and angulations (65°, 90°, 115° and 140°) from implant region. RESULTS For titanium images, SD values did not differ from those of images without implant in all ROIs; however, some effect occurred in Picasso images as higher values were observed in ROIs closer to the implant (p < 0.05). Zirconium images showed higher SD values than the others in some ROIs for Picasso and ProMax (p < 0.05). In ProMax, the difference was observed even in the farthest ROIs from the implant. CNR values were not influenced by the ROI in Picasso, but presented lower values in ROIs closer to the zirconium implant for ProMax and Accuitomo. CONCLUSIONS The quantity and magnitude of artifacts in CBCT are influenced by the type of implant and CBCT unit. Although they are more pronounced in regions closer to the implant and located at 90° in relation to the mandibular long axis, they can reach as far as 3.5 cm from the artifact-generator object.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the diagnostic performance of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the assessment of peri-implant bone loss and analyze its influencing factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical and preclinical studies reporting diagnostic outcomes of CBCT imaging of peri-implant bone loss compared to direct reference measurements were sought by searching five electronic databases, PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CINAHL Plus, and OpenGrey. QUADAS-2 criteria were adapted for quality analysis of the included studies. A qualitative synthesis was performed. Two meta-analysis models (random-effects and mixed-effects) summarized the area under receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve observations reported in the selected studies. The mixed-effects meta-analysis model evaluated three possible influencing factors, "defect type," "defect size," and "study effect." RESULTS The initial search yielded 3,716 titles, from which 18 studies (13 in vitro and 5 animal) were included. Diagnostic accuracy of CBCT was fair to excellent in detecting in vitro circumferential-intrabony and fenestration defects, but moderate to low for peri-implant dehiscences, and tended to be higher for larger defect sizes. Both, over- and underestimation of linear measurements were reported for the animal models. The meta-analyses included 37 AUC observations from eight studies. The random-effects model showed significant heterogeneity. The mixed-effects model exhibited also significant but lower heterogeneity, and "defect type" and "study effect" significantly influenced the variability of AUC observations. CONCLUSION In vitro, CBCT performs well in detecting peri-implant circumferential-intrabony or fenestration defects but less in depicting dehiscences. Influencing factors due to other site-related and technical parameters on the diagnostic outcome need to be addressed further in the future studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of working length determination by using an electronic apex locator, periapical radiography, and cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging obtained at different voxel sizes and field of views (FOVs) in extracted human teeth. METHODS Thirty extracted human mandibular premolar teeth were used. The electronic working length measurements were performed by using an electronic apex locator (Root ZX; J Morita Corp, Kyoto, Japan). Five different image sets were obtained as follows: (1) CBCT imaging: 40 × 40 mm FOV, 0.080 mm3 (FOV40); (2) CBCT imaging: 60 × 60 mm FOV, 0.125 mm3 (FOV60); (3) CBCT imaging: 80 × 80 mm FOV, 0.160 mm3 (FOV80); (4) CBCT imaging: 100 × 100 mm FOV, 0.250 mm3 (FOV100); and (5) periapical digital radiography. Direct measurements performed with an electronic digital caliper were considered as the gold standard and compared with the electronic apex locator, CBCT, and periapical image measurements. Data were analyzed using a 2-way analysis of variance test. Significance level was set at P < .05. RESULTS There was no significant difference between or within operators in intraoral radiographs (P > .05 and the Gage R&R value was <30%). There were significant differences between and within operators for CBCT images (P < .05 and Gage R&R value was >30%). There were significant differences in the methods in terms of mean differences from the gold standard (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that available CBCT scans with different FOVs can be used for working length measurement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES After tooth eruption, the size of the pulp cavity decreases with age owing to deposition of secondary dentine. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between the chronological age and the ratio of pulp volume (PV) to tooth volume (TV) measurements using CBCT images of single rooted teeth. METHODS Maxillary anterior, canine and mandibular canine/premolar CBCT scans of patients older than 15 years of age were collected from the archives between 2013 and 2015 years. Patients with CBCT scans of teeth were seen in detail and patients with known chronological age were included. Teeth with caries, filling or crown restorations, periapical pathologies or pulps that could not be identified were excluded. Consequently, 204 patients with 655 teeth were evaluated. The PV and the TV of each tooth was measured and then the PV/TV ratio was calculated. Simple linear regression analysis was performed in order to predict age estimation by using PV/TV. RESULTS The PV/TV of all teeth ranged between 0.01 and 0.08. A negative correlation was found between the PV/TV ratio and age (p < 0.05). The regression analysis showed the highest Pearson correlation (0.532) for the maxillary central incisor tooth. Considering measurements of the PV/TV of all assessed teeth, there was no significant difference in the intercept between both gender (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that PV/TV ratio was not gender dependent and the strongest correlation was found between the age and PV/TV ratio measured on maxillary central incisors than other teeth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of linear measurements around dental implants when using CBCT unit devices presenting different exposure parameters. METHODS Dental implants (n = 18) were installed in the maxilla of human dry skulls, and images were obtained using two CBCT devices: G1-Care Stream 9300 (70 kVp, 6.3 mA, voxel size 0.18 mm, field of view 8 × 8 cm; Carestream Health, Rochester, NY) and G2-R100 Veraview® (75 kVp, 7.0 mA, voxel size 0.125 mm, field of view 8 × 8 cm; J Morita, Irvine, CA). Measurements of bone thickness were performed at three points located (A) in the most apical portion of the implant, (B) 5 mm above the apical point and (C) in the implant platform. Afterwards, values were compared with real measurements obtained by an optical microscopy [control group (CG)]. Data were statistically analyzed with the significance level of p ≤ 0.05. RESULTS There was no statistical difference for the mean values of bone thickness on Point A (CG: 4.85 ± 2.25 mm, G1: 4.19 ± 1.68 mm, G2: 4.15 ± 1.75 mm), Point B (CG: 1.50 ± 0.84 mm, G1: 1.61 ± 1.27 mm; G2: 1.68 ± 0.82 mm) and Point C (CG: 1.78 ± 1.33 mm, G1: 1.80 ± 1.09 mm; G2: 1.64 ± 1.11 mm). G1 and G2 differed in bone thickness by approximately 0.76 mm for Point A, 0.36 mm for Point B and 0.08 mm for Point C. A lower intraclass variability was identified for CG (Point A = 0.20 ± 0.25; Point B = 0.15 ± 0.20; Point C = 0.06 ± 0.05 mm) in comparison with G1 (Point A = 0.56 ± 0.52; Point B = 0.48 ± 0.50; Point C = 0.47 ± 0.56 mm) and G2 (Point A = 0.57 ± 0.51; Point B = 0.46 ± 0.46; Point C = 0.36 ± 0.31 mm). CONCLUSIONS CBCT devices showed acceptable accuracy for linear measurements around dental implants, despite the exposure parameters used.

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess the influence of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) acquisition parameters on the evaluation of mandibular third molars and their relationship to the mandibular canal. STUDY DESIGN Eight dry human mandibles with 13 mandibular third molars were scanned with one CBCT unit. Voxel size (0.2 and 0.3 mm), field of view (FOV) size (12 × 8.5 cm and 5 × 5 cm), and number of basis images (450 and 720) were the variables studied. Two examiners evaluated the images, and the resulting data were compared through McNemar, McNemar-Bowker, and Student t tests. Additionally, dosimetry was determined for all protocols tested, and radiation doses were compared through analysis of variance. RESULTS The variables did not influence evaluation of mandibular third molars, except for voxel size, when assessing contact between the tooth and the mandibular canal (P = .021). Although FOV and number of basis images affected radiation dose, voxel size did not. CONCLUSIONS FOV size and number of basis images did not influence the evaluation of mandibular third molars and their relationship to the mandibular canal in the CBCT unit used. Conversely, smaller voxel size affected the assessment of contact between the tooth and the mandibular canal. In units in which voxel size does not influence radiation dose, the most appropriate CBCT protocol is the one using a smaller voxel size and delivering the lowest radiation dose to the patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of exposure parameters and image-processing methods when using CBCT to detect clear and unclear mandibular canals (MCs). METHODS 24 dry half mandibles were divided into 2 groups with clear and unclear MCs based on a previous CBCT study. Mandibles were scanned using a CBCT system with varying exposure parameters (tube voltages 60 kV, 70 kV and 90 kV; and tube currents 2 mA, 5 mA, 10 mA and 15 mA) to obtain a total of 144 scans. The images were processed with different slice thicknesses using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). Five radiologists evaluated the cross-sectional images of the first molar region to detect the MCs. The diagnostic accuracy of varying exposure parameters and image-processing conditions was compared with the area under the curve (Az) in receiver-operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS The Az values for clear MCs were higher than those for unclear MCs (p < 0.0001). With increasing exposure voltages and currents, Az values increased, but no significant differences were found with high voltages and currents in clear MCs (p = 1.0000 and p = 0.9340). The Az values of serial images were higher than those of overlaid images (p < 0.0001), and those for thicker slices were higher than those for thinner slices (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that detection of unclear MCs requires either higher exposure parameters or processing of the images with thicker slices. To detect clear MCs, lower exposure parameters can be used.

Abstract
Sufficient buccal bone thickness (BBT) is important for an optimal aesthetic outcome of implant treatment in the aesthetic zone. The aim of the study was to assess BBT at dental implants placed in the aesthetic zone (incisor, canine or first premolar in the maxilla) (immediate or delayed, with or without immediate provisionalization) with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a function of time. Eighty patients were divided into 4 groups according to size of the buccal bony defect (<5 or ≥5 mm) after removal of the tooth, and timing of implant placement and provisionalization. CBCTs were made 1 month and 1 year after placement of the implant crown. BBT varied from 0.79 mm to 2.12 mm at 1 month and from 0.71 mm to 2.04 mm at 1 year. Change of BBT between 1 month and 1 year was negligible. This study concluded that BBT at dental implants in the aesthetic zone appears to be stable for immediate and delayed placed implants after placement of the definitive crown, independent of the size of buccal bone defect prior to implant insertion and timing of provisionalization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the effect of voxel size and object location in the field of view (FOV) on diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for detection of simulated bone defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, bone defects were drilled in four sections of a dry human mandible. Bone blocks were fixed on a platform parallel to the horizontal plane and CBCT images were acquired using 0.2mm and 0.3mm resolutions and five locations of FOV (anterior, posterior, left, right and center). Three reviewers viewed the images twice and the presence or absence of simulated bone defects was determined in positive and negative cases. RESULTS Sensitivity in different locations of FOV ranged between 0.25-1.0 and 0.75-1.0 in low and high resolutions, respectively. These values were 0.625-1.0 and 0.69-1.0, respectively for specificity. Intra-observer agreements were in the range of 0.84-1.0 and 0.75-1.0 and inter-observer agreements were in the range of 0.3-0.61 and 0.46-0.69 in high and low resolutions, respectively. The highest sensitivity was seen at the center of the FOV and with an increase in resolution from 0.3mm to 0.2mm, the sensitivity increased specially in the posterior region of the FOV while image resolutions and FOV locations did not affect specificity. CONCLUSIONS The highest sensitivity values were obtained at the center of the FOV and lowest values were seen in images acquired in the posterior region in low resolution. Diagnostic accuracy improved with increased resolution.

Clin Exp Dent Res 2016; 2:44-50.

Abstract
This preclinical in vitro study compared the accuracy of implant lengths measured in two different image-viewers, and examined whether implant-induced artifacts affected the implant length measurements on CBCT images. A resin edentulous mandibular model, with multiple adjacent implants in the posterior segments, was acquired with a CBCT machine. In two different image-viewers, two observers independently measured the implant length. Vertical measurements on CBCT images were carried out twice at each session, and repeated one week later. The results demonstrated no significant differences between actual and measured implant lengths. The differences in the mean error for vertical measurements using the two different image-viewers (cross-sectional images: OsiriX viewer = -0.01 ± 0.03 mm, NewTom viewer = -0.05 ± 0.09 mm, p-value = 0.056; sagittal images: OsiriX viewer = -0.03 ± 0.04 mm; NewTom viewer = -0.04 ± 0.10 mm, p-value = 0.24) were not statistically significant. This in vitro investigation suggests that the accuracy of implant length measurements on CBCT images was not influenced by image-viewers or by the presence of implant-induced artifacts. The presence of multiple adjacent implants in the posterior segments of the mandible is not likely to impact the measurements made between the implant apex and vital structures on CBCT images.

Abstract
Systematic review of literature was made to assess the extent of accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a tool for measurement of alveolar bone loss in periodontal defect. A systematic search of PubMed electronic database and a hand search of open access journals (from 2000 to 2015) yielded abstracts that were potentially relevant. The original articles were then retrieved and their references were hand searched for possible missing articles. Only articles that met the selection criteria were included and criticized. The initial screening revealed 47 potentially relevant articles, of which only 14 have met the selection criteria; their CBCT average measurements error ranged from 0.19 mm to 1.27 mm; however, no valid meta-analysis could be made due to the high heterogeneity between the included studies. Under the limitation of the number and strength of the available studies, we concluded that CBCT provides an assessment of alveolar bone loss in periodontal defect with a minimum reported mean measurements error of 0.19 ± 0.11 mm and a maximum reported mean measurements error of 1.27 ± 1.43 mm, and there is no agreement between the studies regarding the direction of the deviation whether over or underestimation. However, we should emphasize that the evidence to this data is not strong.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the use of a metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm improves the detection of peri-implant fenestrations and dehiscences on cone beam computed tomography scans. STUDY DESIGN One hundred titanium fixtures were implanted into bovine ribs after the creation of defects simulating fenestrations and dehiscences. Images were acquired using four different protocols, namely, A2 (MAR on, voxel 0.2 mm), A3 (MAR on, voxel 0.3 mm), B2 (MAR off, voxel 0.2 mm), and B3 (MAR off, voxel 0.3 mm). For all protocols, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were determined. Values for the areas under the ROC curves (Az) were subjected to analysis of variance. RESULTS Az values were not statistically different among protocols regardless of the defect type (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS The MAR algorithm tested by us did not improve the diagnosis of peri-implant fenestrations and dehiscences with use of either the 0.2 mm or the 0.3 mm voxel sizes.

Abstract
CAHs, as a cleaning solvent, widely contaminated shallow groundwater with the development of manufacturing in China's Yangtze River Delta. This study focused on the distribution of CAHs, and correlations between CAHs and environmental variables in a shallow groundwater in Shanghai, using kriging interpolation and multifactorial analysis. The results showed that the overall CAHs plume area (above DIV) was approximately 9,000 m(2) and located in the 2-4 m underground, DNAPL was accumulated at an area of approximately 1,400 m(2) and located in the 6-8m sandy silt layer on the top of the muddy silty clay. Heatmap of PPC for CAHs and environmental variables showed that the correlation between "Fe(2+)" and most CAHs such as "1,1,1-TCA", "1,1-DCA", "1,1-DCE" and "%TCA" were significantly positive (p<0.001), but "%CA" and/or "%VC" was not, and "Cl-" was significantly positive correlated with "1,1-DCA" and "1,1-DCE" (p<0.001). The PCA demonstrated that the relative proportions of CAHs in groundwater were mostly controlled by the sources and the natural attenuation. In conclusion, the combination of geographical and chemometrics was helpful to establishing an aerial perspective of CAHs and identifying reasons for the accumulation of toxic dechlorination intermediates, and could become a useful tool for characterizing contaminated sites in general.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to determine the influence of field of view (FOV) and number of acquisition projection images (frames) on the detection of chemically simulated peri-implant defects by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using an in vitro bovine rib bone model. METHODS Eighty implants were placed in bovine ribs in which small and large bone defects were created using 70% perchloric acid. CBCT images were acquired at three acquisition protocols: protocol 1 (FOV 4 × 4 cm, 0.08-mm voxel size, 1,009 frames [high fidelity]; protocol 2 (same as protocol 1 except 512 frames [standard]); and protocol 3 (FOV 14 × 5 cm, 0.25-mm voxel size; high fidelity). Two oral and maxillofacial radiologists (OMRs) and two oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMSs) rated the presence or absence of bone defects on a five-point scale. κ and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated and compared using analysis of variance with post hoc Tukey test at P ≤ 0.05. RESULTS Intra- and interobserver agreement for OMRs ranged from moderate to good and from slight to moderate for OMSs. For the detection of small lesions, protocol 1 (AUC 0.813 ± 0.045) provided higher detection rates than protocol 2 (AUC 0.703 ± 0.02) and protocol 3 (AUC 0.773 ± 0.55) [F(2,9) = 1.6377]. For larger defects, the trends were similar, with protocol 1 (AUC 0.852 ± 0.108) providing higher detection rates than protocol 2 (AUC 0.730 ± 0.045) and protocol 3 (AUC 0.783 ± 0.058) [F(2,9) = 1.9576]. CONCLUSION Within the limits of this study, optimal detection of chemically simulated pericircumferential implant crestal bone defects is achieved at the least radiation detriment using the smallest FOV, the highest number of acquisition frames, and the smallest voxel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sufficient buccal bone is important for optimal esthetic results of implant treatment in the anterior region. It can be measured with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), but background scattering and problems with standardization of the measurements are encountered. The aim was to develop a method for reliable, reproducible measurements on CBCTs. METHODS Using a new method, buccal bone thickness was measured on ten CBCTs at six positions along the implant axis. Inter- and intraobserver reproducibility was assessed by repeated measurements by two examiners. RESULTS Mean buccal bone thickness measured by observers 1 and 2 was 2.42 mm (sd: 0.50) and 2.41 mm (sd: 0.47), respectively. Interobserver intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.96 (95% CI 0.93 to 0.98). The mean buccal bone thickness of the first measurement and the second measurement of observer 1 was 2.42 mm (sd: 0.50) and 2.53 mm (sd: 0.49), respectively, with an intraobserver intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.93 (95% CI 0.88 to 0.96). The mean buccal bone thickness of the first measurement and the second measurement of observer 2 was 2.41 mm (sd: 0.47) and 2.52 mm (sd: 0.47), respectively, with an intraobserver intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.96 (95% CI 0.93 to 0.97). CONCLUSIONS Applying the methods used in this study, CBCTs are suitable for reliable and reproducible measurements of buccal bone thickness at implants.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish (nasopalatine canal) NPC morphology and obtain linear and volumetric measurements using CBCT images. METHODS We evaluated CBCT scans of 252 patients. NPC shape was classified as belonging to six groups. Following measurements were recorded: M1, nasal foramen diameter; M2, incisive foramen diameter; M3, NPC length; M4, distance from the buccal border of the incisive foramen to the facial aspect of the buccal bone plate; M5, distance from the buccal bone wall of the NPC to the facial aspect of the buccal bone plate; and M6, distance from the buccal border in the middle of the NPC to the facial aspect of the buccal bone plate. Volume and surface area measurements of the NPC were also conducted. Sex, age and maxillary anterior teeth status (MCI) were recorded. Four-way repeated ANOVA was performed. Significance level was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS With the exception of M4 and M5, the relationship between MCI and all linear measurements was statistically significant. Patient sex had a significant effect on all NPC measurements with the exception of nasal foramen diameter, with all measurements greater in males than females (p < 0.001). NPC volume was found to vary significantly by patient sex (p = 0.042), with mean NPC volume values of 55.171 mm(3) for females and 72.966 mm(3) for males. CONCLUSION The measurements conducted around nasopalatine canal provided useful information prior to implant placement in the anterior maxilla.
