Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to assess the impact of dimensional distortion and its changes with modification of exposure setting parameters on the measurements of peri-implant bone margin. Ten titanium dental implants (InKone Primo, Global D, Paris, France) were placed in two prepared bovine ribs. Two bone models and an implant-with-transfer model were scanned with 3shape E4 (3shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) laboratory scanner. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of two bone models were taken with different values of voltage (60, 70, 80, 90 kV), tube current (4, 10 mA) and voxel size (200, 300 µm). All the data were superimposed using planning software, and the measurements of buccal bone thickness in two selected regions were performed both using CBCT and scan cross-sections. The mean squared error (MSE) being the squared differences between measurements was used in the accuracy assessment of the CBCT device. A one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences between voltage and MSE (p = 0.044), as well as implant position and MSE (p = 0.005). The distortions of measurements depend on bone margin thickness, and the higher the distance to measure, the higher the error. Accurate measurements of buccal bone thickness (MSE below 0.25) were achieved with voltage values of 70, 80, and 90 kV.
