[PMID: 38868001 PMCID: PMC11168391 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To investigate the accuracy of implant height and width measurement in the mandibular and maxillary first molar region based on cone-beam CT (CBCT) data, and to establish an accurate method for bone measurement in the implant region. Materials and methods CBCT images of 122 patients with implant in mandibular or maxillary first molar region were retrospectively collected. Two methods were used to measure sagittal height (SH), coronal height (CH), sagittal width (SW), and coronal width (CW) of implants. Method 1 (general method): the images were analyzed using the built-in software NNT 9.0 software. SHl, CHl, SWl, and CWl were measured on the reconstructed sagittal and coronal based on the radiologist's own experience. Method 2 (triaxial rotation method): the raw data were demonstrated in Expert mode of NNT 9.0 software, in which the coronal axis and sagittal axis were rotated paralleling to the long axis of the implant for reconstruction, and then SH2, CH2, SW2, and CW2 were measured on the reconstructed sagittal and coronal images. The results of two methods were compared with the actual implant size (H0, W0). Paired T-test was performed for statistical analysis. Dahlberg formula was used to check the measurement error. Results For method 1, there was no significant differences between SHl and H0 (P > 0.05), but significant differences between CHl and H0, SWl and W0, and CWl and W0 (P < 0.05). For method 2, there were no significant differences between all measurements and actual size (P > 0.05). The random error range measured using Dahlberg formula was 0.157-1.171 mm for general method and 0.017-0.05 mm for triaxial rotation method. Conclusion The triaxial rotation method is accurate for implant height and width measurements on CBCT images and could be used in pre-operatively bone height and width measurement of potential implant sites.

[PMID: 37231447 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03039-2] [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: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study proposed a new classification method of bone quantity and quality at the dental implant site using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) image analysis, classifying cortical and cancellous bones separately and using CBCT for quantitative analysis. METHODS Preoperative CBCT images were obtained from 128 implant patients (315 sites). First, measure the crestal cortical bone thickness (in mm) and the cancellous bone density [in grayscale values (GV) and bone mineral density (g/cm3)] at the implant sites. The new classification for bone quality at the implant site proposed in this study is a "nine-square division" bone classification system, where the cortical bone thickness is classified into A: > 1.1 mm, B:0.7-1.1 mm, and C: < 0.7 mm, and the cancellous bone density is classified into 1: > 600 GV (= 420 g/cm3), 2:300-600 GV (= 160 g/cm3-420 g/cm3), and 3: < 300 GV (= 160 g/cm3). RESULTS The results of the nine bone type proportions based on the new jawbone classification were as follows: A1 (8.57%,27/315), A2 (13.02%), A3 (4.13%), B1 (17.78%), B2 (20.63%), B3 (8.57%) C1 (4.44%), C2 (14.29%), and C3 (8.57%). CONCLUSIONS The proposed classification can complement the parts overlooked in previous bone classification methods (bone types A3 and C1). TRIAL REGISTRATION The retrospective registration of this study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of China Medical University Hospital, No. CMUH 108-REC2-181.

Abstract
A clinical case of a horizontally displaced dental implant, which moved below the level of the mandibular canal during surgery is presented together with a brief review of the comparable published cases. The bone mineral density and the morphology of the alveolar ridge were analyzed at the site of osteotomy, and the low bone density of
Hounsfield Units was found in the area. The factors related to implant displacement were: the anatomical features of bone structure, and the applied mechanical pressure during the implant insertion. The displacement of the dental implant below the level of the mandibular canal during implantation can be a severe complication. Its removal requires the safest surgical approach to avoid damaging the inferior alveolar nerve. The description of one clinical case does not provide grounds for drawing definite conclusions. To avoid similar incidents, detailed radiographic assessment before implantation is necessary; it is also important to follow the surgical protocols of implant placement into soft bone and to create conditions for a good visibility and sufficient control of bleeding during surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of a tissue expander in maxillofacial intraoral tissue reconstruction is a developing approach, which provide adequate tissue coverage and aesthetics. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to quantitatively compare the use of a soft tissue expander in conjunction with autogenous bone graft with bone graft alone for the repair of the mandible's anterior region. METHODS The study comprised 24 patients with bone defects in the anterior mandibular region. Patients were divided into 2 groups at random. In group I, expander with bone graft was used, whereas in group II, bone graft was used alone. Volumetric measures of the grafted area was performed using CBCT, and cephalometric evaluations of the anteroposterior and vertical skeletal relationship, as well as the soft tissue profile were recoded. A comparison was made between the 2 groups 6 and 24 months after surgery with P ≤ 0.05 considered significant. RESULTS The mean difference in grafted bone volume between the 2 groups was 1.95 cm 3 , indicating a significant difference between the 2 groups ( P = 0.05) with superior group I results. The soft tissue profile of group I demonstrated a considerable improvement and stability of the lower lip, the labiomental sulcus, and the thickness of the soft tissue Pogonion compared with group II. CONCLUSION The use of a tissue expander in conjunction with a bone graft resulted in a better soft tissue profile, making it a favored approach in maxillofacial reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Strong evidence suggests the infectious nature of peri-implant diseases occurring in susceptible hosts. Epidemiological reports, though, indicate that peri-implantitis is a site-specific entity. Hence, the significance of local factors that may predispose/precipitate plaque accumulation and the impact of systemic drivers that alter the immune response are relevant in the prevention and management of peri-implant disorders. PURPOSE The purpose of the present review is to shed light on the significance of local and systemic factors on peri-implant diseases, making special emphasis on the associations with peri-implantitis. METHODS The biologic plausibility and supporting evidence aiming at providing a concluding remark were explored in the recent scientific literature for local predisposing/precipitating factors and systemic drivers related to peri-implant diseases. RESULTS Local predisposing factors such as soft tissue characteristics, implant position and prosthetic design proved being strongly associated with the occurrence of peri-implant diseases. Hard tissue characteristics, however, failed to demonstrate having a direct association with peri-implant diseases. Robust data points toward the strong link between residual sub-mucosal cement and peri-implant diseases, while limited data suggests the impact of residual sub-mucosal floss and peri-implantitis. Systemic drivers/habits such as hyperglycemia and smoking showed a strong negative impact on peri-implantitis. However, there is insufficient evidence to claim for any link between metabolic syndrome, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and obesity and peri-implant diseases. CONCLUSION Local predisposing/precipitating factors and systemic drivers may increase the risk of peri-implant diseases. Therefore, comprehensive anamnesis of the patients, educational/motivational programs and exhaustive prosthetically-driven treatment planning must be fostered aiming at reducing the rate of biological complications in implant dentistry.

CBCT analysis of crestal soft tissue thickness before implant placement and its relationship with cortical bone thickness. BMC Oral Health 2022; 22:593. [PMID: 36496410 PMCID: PMC9741784 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-022-02629-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The importance of crestal soft tissue thickness and its influence in peri-implant tissue health has been evaluated in few clinical studies. Cone beam computed tomography imaging offers a unique opportunity to investigate variations in crestal soft tissue thickness. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the possible correlation between crestal soft tissue thickness and hard tissue measurements on CBCT images, and to compare crestal soft tissue thickness among different patients and edentulous site groups. METHODS CBCT images of partially edentulous adult patients treated at ECU School of Dental Medicine were evaluated. 267 patients with 321 edentulous sites were included. Demographic data were collected from electronic health records. Cross-sectional CBCT images at the center of each edentulous site were used to measure soft tissue and hard tissue parameters. Linear mixed models were used to compare crestal soft tissue thickness and hard tissue measurements by gender, age groups, and edentulous sites. Pearson correlation was applied to evaluate the correlation between crestal soft tissue thickness and different hard tissue measurements. Association between crestal soft tissue thickness and independent variables (gender, age groups, edentulous sites) was evaluated using repeated measure logistic regression, while the crestal soft tissue thickness was dichotomized by a threshold of 2 mm. RESULTS Mean age of patients included was 60 (range 21-85 years). Female to male ratio was 1.07. Mean crestal soft tissue thickness of all non-grafted native bone sites was 2.17 mm. Mean thickness of cortical bone at alveolar crest was 0.94 mm. Thickness of buccal and lingual cortical plates 5 mm apical to alveolar crest were 1.17 mm and 1.58 mm, respectively. Pearson's correlation showed moderate positive correlation among hard tissue measurements, but weak correlation between soft tissue thickness and hard tissue measurements. Anterior sites [OR = 3.429 (1.100-10.69)] and maxillary posterior sites [OR = 1.937 (1.077-3.482)] had higher odds of presenting with more than 2 mm of soft tissue at the alveolar crest. CONCLUSION More than half of the patients had crestal soft tissues at edentulous sites thicker than 2 mm. Thickness of crestal soft tissue was not significantly associated with hard tissue measurements. Edentulous anterior sites and maxillary posterior sites presented with thicker crestal soft tissue at alveolar crest as compared to mandibular posterior sites.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of bone–miniscrew contact percentage (BMC%) and bone quality and quantity on orthodontic miniscrew stability and the maximum insertion torque value (ITV). Orthodontic miniscrews of five different dimensions and several bovine iliac bone specimens were used in the evaluation. Miniscrews of each dimension group were inserted into 20 positions in bovine iliac bone specimens. The experiment was divided into three parts: (1) Bone quality and quantity were evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and microcomputed tomography. (2) The 3D BMC% was calculated. (3) The ITVs during miniscrew insertion were recorded to evaluate the stability of the orthodontic miniscrews. The results indicated that longer and thicker miniscrews enabled higher ITVs. CBCT was used to accurately measure cortical bone thickness (r = 0.939, P < 0.05) and to predict the bone volume fraction of cancellous bone (r = 0.752, P < 0.05). BMC% was significantly influenced by miniscrew length. The contribution of cortical bone thickness to the ITV is greater than that of cancellous bone structure, and the contribution of cortical bone thickness to BMC% is greater than that of cancellous bone structure. Finally, the higher is BMC%, the greater is the ITV. This study concludes that use of CBCT may predict the mechanical stability of orthodontic miniscrews.

Abstract
Background. Initial bone thickness has a substantial impact on the success of dental implant treatments. The objective of the current study was to analyze the thickness of the buccal and alveolar bone at the central incisors using CBCT in relation to gender and side to determine the anatomical features and choose the best implant treatment option for minimizing the surgical complications. Methods. One hundred CBCT images were investigated (50 females and 50 males, aged 20 to 50 years old). The buccal bone thickness and alveolar bone thickness were evaluated for right and left sides of each subject at three sites; C: crest (3 mm); M: middle (6 mm); A: apical (9 mm) from the cementoenamel junction. Results. The mean thickness of buccal bone was less than 2 mm on the incisors according to side and gender. Buccal bone thickness revealed a statistically significant difference between right and left sides at the apical point in both females and males with
values of (
) and (0.001), respectively. The buccal bone thickness displayed statistically significant differences between genders at all sites. The alveolar thickness demonstrated similar significant differences between genders except for the crest site. Conclusions. Iraqi participants had about 1 mm buccal bone thickness at 3 mm apical from the CEJ in right and left central incisors with a progressive rise in bone thickness to be less than 2 mm at the apex. Alveolar bone also showed the same increase in bone thickness from crest to apex. Bone thickness was greater in males than females. The present study provided valuable CBCT data on bone thickness of the esthetic maxillary region as a preoperative analysis for establishing an immediate implant treatment plan with aesthetically pleasing long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Dental surgery implantation has become increasingly important among procedures that aim to rehabilitate edentulous patients to restore esthetics and the mastication ability. The optimal stability of dental implants is correlated primarily to the quality and quantity of bone. This systematic literature review describes clinical research focusing on the correlation between cortical bone thickness and primary/secondary stability of dental fixtures. To predict successful outcome of prosthetic treatment, quantification of bone density at the osteotomy site is, in general, taken into account, with little attention being paid to assessment of the thickness of cortical bone. Nevertheless, local variations in bone structure (including cortical thickness) could explain differences in clinical practice with regard to implantation success, marginal bone resorption or anchorage loss. Current knowledge is preliminarily detailed, while tentatively identifying which inconclusive or unexplored aspects merit further investigation.

Can Male Patient's Age Affect the Cortical Bone Thickness of Jawbone for Dental Implant Placement? A Cohort Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18084284.

Abstract
Dental implants are among the most common treatments for missing teeth. The thickness of the crestal cortical bone at the potential dental implant site is a critical factor affecting the success rate of dental implant surgery. However, previous studies have predominantly focused on female patients, who are at a high risk of osteoporosis, for the discussion of bone quality and quantity at the dental implant site. This study aimed to investigate the effect of male patients’ age on the crestal cortical bone of the jaw at the dental implant site by using dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study performed dental CBCT on 84 male patients of various ages to obtain tomograms of 288 dental implant sites at the jawbone (41 sites in the anterior maxilla, 95 in the posterior maxilla, 59 in the anterior mandible, and 93 in the posterior mandible) for measuring the cortical bone thickness. A one-way analysis of variance and Scheffe’s test were performed on the measurement results to compare the cortical bone thickness at implant sites in the four jaw areas. The correlation between male patient age and cortical bone thickness at the dental implant site was determined. The four jaw areas in order of the cortical bone thickness were as follows: posterior mandible (1.07 ± 0.44 mm), anterior mandible (0.99 ± 0.30 mm), anterior maxilla (0.82 ± 0.32 mm), and posterior maxilla (0.71 ± 0.27 mm). Apart from dental implant sites in the anterior and posterior mandibles, no significant correlation was observed between male patients’ age and the cortical bone thickness at the dental implant site.

Abstract
Dental implant surgery is a common treatment for missing teeth. Its survival rate is considerably affected by host bone quality and quantity, which is often assessed prior to surgery through dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Dental CBCT was used in this study to evaluate dental implant sites for (1) differences in and (2) correlations between cancellous bone density and cortical bone thickness among four regions of the jawbone. In total, 315 dental implant sites (39 in the anterior mandible, 42 in the anterior maxilla, 107 in the posterior mandible, and 127 in the posterior maxilla) were identified in dental CBCT images from 128 patients. All CBCT images were loaded into Mimics 15.0 to measure cancellous bone density (unit: grayscale value (GV) and cortical bone thickness (unit: mm)). Differences among the four regions of the jawbone were evaluated using one-way analysis of variance and Scheffe's posttest. Pearson coefficients for correlations between cancellous bone density and cortical bone thickness were also calculated for the four jawbone regions. The results revealed that the mean cancellous bone density was highest in the anterior mandible (722 ± 227 GV), followed by the anterior maxilla (542 ± 208 GV), posterior mandible (535 ± 206 GV), and posterior maxilla (388 ± 206 GV). Cortical bone thickness was highest in the posterior mandible (1.15 ± 0.42 mm), followed by the anterior mandible (1.01 ± 0.32 mm), anterior maxilla (0.89 ± 0.26 mm), and posterior maxilla (0.72 ± 0.19 mm). In the whole jawbone, a weak correlation (r = 0.133, p = 0.041) was detected between cancellous bone density and cortical bone thickness. Furthermore, except for the anterior maxilla (r = 0.306, p = 0.048), no correlation between the two bone parameters was observed (all p > 0.05). Cancellous bone density and cortical bone thickness varies by implant site in the four regions of the jawbone. The cortical and cancellous bone of a jawbone dental implant site should be evaluated individually before surgery.

Satisfactory host bone quality and quantity promote greater primary stability and better osseointegration, leading to a high success rate in the use of dental implants. However, the increase in life expectancy as a result of medical advancements has led to an aging population, suggesting that osteoporosis may become a problem in clinical dental implant surgery. Notably, relative to the general population, bone insufficiency is more common in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis. The objective of this study was to compare the thickness of the crestal cortical bone at prospective dental implant sites between menopausal and non-menopausal women. Prospective dental implant sites in the jawbone were evaluated in two groups of women: a younger group (<50 years old), with 149 sites in 48 women, and an older group (>50 years old) with 191 sites, in 37 women. The thickness of the crestal cortical bone at the dental implant site was measured based on each patient’s dental cone-beam computed tomography images. For both groups, one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s post-test were used to assess the correlation between cortical bone thickness and the presence of implants in the four jawbone regions. Student’s t-test was further used to compare differences between the older and younger groups. From the retrospective study results, for both groups, thickness of the crestal cortical bone was the highest in the posterior mandible, followed by anterior mandible, anterior maxilla, and posterior maxilla. Compared with the younger group, the older group had a lower mean thickness of the crestal cortical bone. Among the four regions, however, only in the posterior maxilla was the crestal cortical bone significantly thinner in the older group than in the younger group.

ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2019; 55:medicina55090565. [PMID: 31484416 PMCID: PMC6780569 DOI: 10.3390/medicina55090565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2019] [Revised: 08/25/2019] [Accepted: 08/30/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background and objectives: This study investigated the morphology of the labial and palatal bony wall of the maxillary central and lateral incisors using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The difference between males and females and the measurement between right and left sides were measured. Materials and Methods: Twenty participants, consisting of 11 females and 9 males having normal occlusion, were used for the analysis. The mean age was 21.9 ± 3.0 years. The thickness of the labial bony wall and palatal bony wall, perpendicular to the long axis of the root, were evaluated at 3 and 5 mm apical from the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and at the root apex. The available bony wall below the apex of the central and lateral incisors, and the angulation between the long axis of the tested tooth and outer surface of the labial bone were measured. Results: The mean labial bony wall thickness at the 3 and 5 mm apical from the CEJ were 1.1 ± 0.3 mm and 1.0 ± 0.4 mm for central incisors, respectively, as well as 1.2 ± 0.4 mm and 1.0 ± 0.4 mm for lateral incisors, respectively. The mean palatal bony wall thickness at 5 mm from the CEJ was above 2 mm in the central and lateral incisors. The percentage of labial bony wall thickness 2 mm or greater at the root apex in central incisors was higher than in lateral incisors (62.5% vs. 55.0%). The percentage of palatal bony wall thickness ≥2 mm at 3 mm apical from the CEJ in the central incisors was higher than in the lateral incisors (37.5% vs. 15.0%). The results on the left and right sides did not show statistically significant differences, except in the labial and palatal bony wall thickness at 3 mm from the CEJ in the lateral incisor. Generally, no significant differences were seen between males and females, but males had a significantly higher labial bony wall thickness at 3 and 5 mm from the CEJ in the central and lateral incisors when compared with females. Conclusions: This study showed that a majority of the cases of Korean participants had less than 2 mm of labial bony wall thickness at 3 and 5 mm apical from the CEJ at central and lateral incisors, and this should be kept in mind while performing dental practices, including tooth extraction or immediate implantation in anterior regions. Preoperative analysis using CBCT may be beneficial for establishing the treatment plan.

Abstract
Introduction Immediate implant with socket shield and immediate implant without socket shield are the two techniques which can be used to preserve the already thin labial bone in the esthetic region, thus eliminating the need for graft materials. Aim To compare the efficacy of immediate implant placement after extraction without socket-shield technique and with socket-shield technique in the esthetic region. Materials and Methods Sixteen patients who reported with unsalvageable maxillary anterior teeth with labial bone thickness of less than 2 mm, depicted on preoperative CBCT, were chosen for the study and randomly assigned one of the two groups: Group A comprising socket-shield technique patients and Group B comprising immediate implant placement without socket shield. The labial bone thickness was analyzed along its entire length through CBCT scan at definite follow-up intervals up to a period of 12 months after the procedure. Results Follow-up of 1 year demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the labial bone thickness at the crest in Group B after 8th and 12th months of implant placement. Conclusion The two techniques need further comparison though our study results demonstrated better preservation of bone through the socket-shield technique, thus eliminating the need for any bony substitutes.

Abstract
A 51-year-old female underwent four upper zygomatic dental implants (ZI) and one upper and four lower conventional implants. Immediately postoperatively, the patient had pain and diplopia upon manual elevation of the edematous eyelid. Panoramic x-ray showed a malpositioned right upper ZI, requiring removal of the right upper ZI the following day. The patient had delayed referral to ophthalmology one month later for persistent diplopia. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a right inferolateral fracture with fibrosis surrounding the inferior oblique muscle. Clinical exam showed right lower eyelid retraction, right hypotropia, and inability to elevate in adduction, consistent with a right inferior oblique paresis. Surgical exploration revealed incarceration of lid and orbital tissue into the fracture. After repositioning of the prolapsed tissue, a high-density porous polyethylene implant was placed for fracture repair. The inferior fornix was reconstructed with amniotic membrane and 5-fluorouracil was injected into the scar tissue. Six months later, the patient underwent strabismus surgery with resolution of symptoms.
