“…The time spent for analysis of each series of 14 radiographs was about 25 min, with one examiner and one annotator performing the measurements. We chose to use software for the measurement of alveolar bone level as it provides greater precision 28) , in addition to easy data storage, amplification and identification of anatomical landmarks.…”

The aim of the present cross-sectional investigation was to evaluate percentage of bone loss in patients who had been one year under periodontal maintenance at the Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of São Paulo by radiographic analysis.Complete sets of periapical radiographs provided data regarding percentage of alveolar bone loss, which was correlated with arches, tooth group and proximal sites. The sample consisted of 27 men and 53 women ranging in age from 16 to 85 years (mean: 48.3 years). A total of 1,120 periapical radiographs (1,970 teeth) were digitized and analyzed with the Image Tool ® software (University of Texas Health Science Center). Bone loss was defined as when the distance between the cemento-enamel junction and the alveolar bone crest was greater than 2 mm. Two examiners (pϽ0.0001) performed radiographic measurements of bone loss.The Greenhouse-Geisser normality test and a univariate analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis.Mean bone loss was 20.60% ‫.)21.21ע(‬ The highest level of bone loss was observed on the distal surface and in the upper arch, as well as in the upper incisors and molars.

“…Therefore, it depends on the observer’s visual acuity and degree of prior knowledge, in addition to being subject to interferences of aspects related to the lighting of the room and screen size. Moreover, it does not allow for a precise detection of the change in density between two images 17 .…”

Digital subtraction radiographic analysis of the combination of bioabsorbable membrane and bovine morphogenetic protein pool in human periodontal infrabony defects

ObjectivesThis study assessed the bone density gain and its relationship with the periodontal clinical parameters in a case series of a regenerative therapy procedure.Material and MethodsUsing a split-mouth study design, 10 pairs of infrabony defects from 15 patients were treated with a pool of bovine bone morphogenetic proteins associated with collagen membrane (test sites) or collagen membrane only (control sites). The periodontal healing was clinically and radiographically monitored for six months. Standardized presurgical and 6-month postoperative radiographs were digitized for digital subtraction analysis, which showed relative bone density gain in both groups of 0.034 ± 0.423 and 0.105 ± 0.423 in the test and control group, respectively (p>0.05).ResultsAs regards the area size of bone density change, the influence of the therapy was detected in 2.5 mm2 in the test group and 2 mm2 in the control group (p>0.05). Additionally, no correlation was observed between the favorable clinical results and the bone density gain measured by digital subtraction radiography (p>0.05).ConclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that the clinical benefit of the regenerative therapy observed did not come with significant bone density gains. Long-term evaluation may lead to a different conclusions.

“…In contrary, vertical bitewings can be used to assess bone height in patients with moderate to severe bone loss. [456] Panoramic radiography is a commonly used imaging modality, by most periodontists. It provides an overall view of the periodontium, thereby minimizes the radiation exposure.…”

Imaging forms an integral component for diagnosis of dental and in specific periodontal diseases. To date, intra-oral radiographic techniques are the main non-invasive diagnostic aids for the detection and assessment of internal changes in mineralized periodontal tissues like alveolar bone. These analog radiographic techniques suffer from inherent limitations like: Two dimensional projection, magnification, distortion, superimposition and misrepresentation of anatomic structures. The evolution of novel imaging modalities, namely cone beam computed tomography, tuned aperture CT empowered dental researchers to visualize the periodontium three dimensionally. This improves interpretation of structural and biophysical changes, ensures densitometric assessments of dentoalveolar structures including variations in alveolar bone density, and peri-implant bone healing more precisely. This detailed review, highlights current leading edge concepts, envisions a wide range of imaging modalities which pave the way for better understanding and early intervention of periodontal diseases.
