Body
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and compare image information
obtained using cone beam CT (CBCT) and multi-detector CT (MDCT).
Methods: A lower mandible from a human cadaver was examined using CBCT (3DX Accuitomo,
Morita Co, Kyoto, Japan) and MDCT (Asteion 4, Toshiba Co, Tokyo, Japan). The height of the
mandible was measured in three sections and was calculated as the length of the vertical line
from the alveolar crest to the superior border of the mandibular canal in each section. DICOM
viewer CT imaging data were simulated using the Nobel Guide Procera software (Nobel Biocare).
The simulated images were used for evaluation and examination of cortical and cancellous
bones as well as trabecular structures.
Results: The quality of simulated images was good for both MDCT and CBCT. However, greater
details were obtained from CBCT images. There was no significant difference in the simulations
of the implant surgery software images obtained using MDCT and CBCT.
Conclusion: CBCT was superior during observations, such as the observations of trabecular
structures, and had high distance accuracy.
