Good quantity and quality of bones are keys to the success of prosthodontic treatment. The quantity of bones is showed by the height of mandibular residual ridge, whereas the quality of bones is indicated by the bone density.The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the age, the bone density, and the height of the mandibular residual ridge. The observation is carried out to six edentulous menopausal women. The height of mandibular residual ridge and the mandibular bone density are measured by using CBCT-3D (Cone Beam Computed Tomography-3 Dimension). Pearson analysis of bivariate correlation is used to determine the relation between variables. As a result, there is a strong correlation between the increased of the age and the decrease of mandibular bone density (r=-0.922 with α=0.009). The study also shows a significant correlation between the decrease of the height of mandibular residual ridge and the decrease of the mandibular bone density (r=0.815 with α=0.048) and between the decrease of the height of mandibular residual ridge and the increase of the age (r=-0.89 with α=0.017).To summarize, the decrease of the height of mandibular residual ridge in this study correlates with the decrease of the mandibular bone density and the age.

In this article, we evaluate the effectiveness of Cone Beam Computed Tomography, through a case study, in assessing the complication of intracranial bleeding during an endovascular treatment of brain arteriovenous malformation when compared to Multislice-Detector Computed Tomography performed immediately after the procedure. The image quality of Cone Beam Computed Tomography has enough diagnostic value in differentiating between haemorrhage, embolic materials and the arteriovenous malformation nidus to facilitate physicians to decide for further management of the patient.

ABSTRACT Objectives Exact location of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) bundle is very important. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the mandibular third molar and the mandibular canal by cone-beam computed tomography. Study design This was a cross-sectional study with convenience sampling. 94 mandibular CBCTs performed with CSANEX 3D machine (Soredex, Finland) and 3D system chosen. Vertical and horizontal relationship between the mandibular canal and the third molar depicted by 3D, panoramic reformat view of CBCT and cross-sectional view. Cross-sectional view was our gold standard and other view evaluated by it. Results There were significant differences between the vertical and horizontal relation of nerve and tooth in all views (p < 0.001). Conclusion The results showed differences in the position of the inferior alveolar nerve with different views of CBCT, so CBCT images are not quite reliable and have possibility of error.
