“…However, the use and knowledge of US in dentistry is still limited due to the lack of a standard protocol and education in oral radiology. 18 In Majzoub's study, it was reported that within a total four-week learning and training phase, 13 raters without prior educational background demonstrated good agreement (ICC = 0.76-0.83) among ultrasound-unaccustomed periodontists in measuring periodontal parameters such as soft tissue height, soft tissue thickness, and crestal bone thickness. 32 All raters agreed that US was satisfactory for determining periodontal diagnostic parameters.…”

“…US is capable of providing superior contrast between soft and hard tissue surfaces, with clear delineation and a wide dynamic range, making it advantageous for real‐time monitoring of periodontal tissue dimensions.

“…The brightness mode (B-mode) of US devices generates continuous two-dimensional (2D) grayscale images, where brightness is determined by the envelope of the returned echo signal, offering several advantages over conventional methods. 18,19 First, it provides higher contrast in soft tissues, with clear boundaries from hard tissue surfaces, making it suitable for evaluating peri-implant or periodontal tissue dimensions. Second, each modality interacts differently with various tissue types without exposure to radiation.…”

BackgroundScreening ultrasonography was proposed for monitoring periodontal soft tissues in the early 1960s, owing to its nonionizing, real‐time, and cost‐effective properties. Studies have provided convincing preliminary evidence for the use of ultrasound (US) in implant dentistry.PurposeTo assess the feasibility of ultrasonography (US) for measuring the buccal thickness of periodontal and peri‐implant tissues. The secondary objective was to evaluate the reliability of US measurements compared to classic techniques, such as CBCT and directly measurements.Materials and MethodsAn electronic literature search was conducted by three independent reviewers through February 2023. The inclusion criteria were articles investigating at least five patients/cadavers with US measurements in periodontal or peri‐implant buccal tissues. Compliance with methodological reporting standards and risk of bias was assessed using EULAR and QUADAS‐C tools, respectively. Random‐effects meta‐analysis was conducted, using Bland–Altman analysis. Certainty of the evidence was assessed using GRADE.ResultsThe final selection included 12 studies examining 458 patients and 13 cadavers, with a total of 226 implants, 1958 teeth and 60 edentulous sites. The body of evidence was assessed as partially compliant with methodological reporting standards for US studies and had an unclear to high risk of bias. Meta‐analysis of five comparative studies showed no evidence of clinically significant bias between US and direct measurements (very low certainty), and between US and CBCT (very low certainty) for soft‐tissue thickness. Likewise, for bone thickness, there is no evidence of clinically significant bias between US and CBCT (low certainty).ConclusionsCompared to the CBCT and direct measurements, ultrasonography might be a reliable approach for monitoring on periodontal and peri‐implant phenotype. However, there is uncertainty about estimates of the actual effect, so further standardized and larger sample size of clinical research is needed.

“…Традиционно его оценивают рентгенологически, однако этот метод не только инвазивен, но и ненадежен, неточен для прогнозирования исхода лечения [19,22]. Применение ультразвукового метода диагностики в стоматологии не нашло пока широ-кого распространения в клинике [1,[4][5][6]17]. В связи с этим мы предприняли попытку использования ультразвуковой доплерографии периимплантатных тканей (УЗДГ) для оценки состояния челюстной кости, ее заживления, в частности после имплантационного протезирования, и исследования микроциркуляции сосудистого русла [10,13,16,27].…”

Relevance. The success of implant-supported prostheses depends on the quality of the jawbone. Traditionally, it is assessed radiographically, but this method is not only invasive but also unreliable and inaccurate for predicting the outcome of treatment.Material and methods. The study included 80 patients (49 women and 31 men) with a mean age of 71 ± 7 years, which formed four groups. Group A (control group, n = 20) consisted of patients with healthy periodontium; comparison group B, n = 20, comprised patients with terminal dentition; the main group C (n = 20) included patients with extended rehabilitation, fixed 7-10 days before; group G (n = 20) was composed of patients with “Trefoil” implant-supported prostheses, fixed three years earlier. The blood flow of peri-implant tissues was assessed using ultrasound Doppler flowmetry (UDF). All patients (n = 20) underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) before the prosthetic treatment.Results. The analysis of pre-prosthetic-treatment ultrasound Doppler flowmetry results showed low values of microcirculation in the alveolar ridge mucous membrane in patients with terminal dentition compared with the control group. On the 7th day after implant-supported prosthetic treatment, group C demonstrated an increase in microcirculation by 11.42% compared to the control group and by 147.36% compared to group B. Three years after implant-supported prosthetic treatment, the ultrasound data revealed a statistically significant increase in blood flow velocity 0.342 ± 0.04 (cm/s) (p < 0.01). The Pearson coefficient determined a high correlation between T-scores of DXA and ultrasound Doppler flowmetry data (r = 0.829, p = 0.0001).Conclusion. Ultrasound Doppler flowmetry (UDF) can be the main method for studying the peri-implant tissue condition at various stages of implant-supported prosthetic treatment.
