The usefulness of cone-beam computed tomography gray values for alveolar bone linear measurements

Effect of Slice Thickness on the Accuracy of Linear Measurements Made on Cone Beam Computed Tomography Images (InVitro

Objective: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is applied for the imaging of the maxillofacial and dental structures, particularly for surgical treatments and dental implants. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of slice thickness on the accuracy of CBCT linear measurements. Methods: In this diagnostic accuracy study, forty-two titanium pins with the same dimensions were inserted...

accuracy of linear measurements using cone beam computed tomography in comparison with clinical measurements

objectives: this study sought to evaluate the accuracy and errors of linear measurements of mesiodistal dimensions of kennedy class iii edentulous space using cone beam computed tomography (cbct) in comparison with clinical measurements. materials and methods: nineteen kennedy class iii dental arches were evaluated. an impression was made of each dental arch and poured with dental stone. the di...

Bilocular Stafne Bone Defect above And Below the Inferior Alveolar Canal Assessed by Cone Beam Computed Tomography: A Case Report

Stafne bone defect is a bone depression containing salivary gland or fatty soft tissue on the lingual surface of the mandible. The most common location is within the submandibular gland fossa and often close to the inferior border of the mandible. This defect is asymptomatic and generally discovered only incidentally during radiographic examination of the area. Stafne bone defect appears as a w...

The Accuracy of Cone-beam Computerized Tomography Linear Measurements in Human Dry Mandible

Background & Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Cone-beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) linear measurements in dry mandibles by comparing them with direct measurements. Methods: Two human dry mandibles were used in this study. Thirteen sites were selected on each mandible. Specimens were scanned by CBCT and linear measurements were made using Planmeca Romexis 2.3.0.R s...
