Precision of Measurements from Computed Tomography (CT), Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and their Reformatted Images in Pre-Operative Implant Assessment

Role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Dentistry

“…Vertical bone height, width and saddle length need to be matched with the number and physical dimensions of implants ( Figure 6B). Linear measurements with CBCT are precise without any magnification, hence this assessment is better done with CBCT than medical CT [48]. Bone quality depends on cortical and trabecular bone which is required to hold the implant securely.…”
