Objective assessment of measurement error in significant cone-beam computed tomography in dental practice

Abstract

X-ray method in modern realities is the main method for assessing the state of bone tissue. Cone beam computed tomography has proven itself in dental practice as a reliable method for assessing the bone tissue of the dentoalveolar system. In implant dentistry, an important factor in obtaining a good result is a qualitative assessment of the structure and morphology of the bone tissue of the upper and lower jaws. Unfortunately, when measuring the optical density of the areas of interest, it is not always possible to obtain correct data on the state of the bone tissue, moreover, implant dentists often have to visually assess the quality of bone density for treatment in their practice, but we understand that this is subjective. This work is aimed at determining the error in calculating the optical density of bone tissue using Dicom viewer programs.
