The purpose of this study was to develop a technique to record the natural head position (NHP) of a subject using the scout images of cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) scans. The first step was to align a hanging mirror with the vertical (XY) plane of the CBCT field-of-view (FOV) volume. Then, two scout CBCT images, at frontal and at sagittal planes, were taken when the subject exhibited a NHP. A normal CBCT scan on the subject was then taken separately. These scout images were used to correct the orientation of the normal CBCT scan. A phantom head was used for validation and performance analysis of the proposed method. It was found that the orientation detection error was within 0.88°. This enables easy and economic NHP recording for CBCT without additional hardware.

Cone Beam Computerized Tomography

The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy and reliability of cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) in measuring thinning bone surrounding dental implants. Three implants were inserted into the mandible of a domestic pig at 6 different bone thicknesses on the vestibular and the lingual sides, and measurements were recorded using CBCT. The results were obtained, analyzed, and compared with areas without implants. Our results indicated that the bone thickness and the neighboring implants decreased the accuracy and reliability of CBCT for measuring bone volume around dental implants. We concluded that CBCT slightly undermeasured the bone thickness around the implant, both buccally and orally, compared with the same thickness without the implant. These results support that using the i-CAT NG with a 0.2 voxel size is not accurate for either qualitative or quantitative bone evaluations, especially when the bone is thinner than 0.72 mm in the horizontal dimension.

The Relationship

Objectives: Sinus floor elevation and augmentation surgery is widely used as a reliable procedure to increase insufficient bone height in the posterior maxillary area. The purpose of the present clinical study was to determine the associations between periodontal bone loss (PBL), maxillary sinus lateral bone wall thickness, age, and gender using cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: The current retrospective study consists of 716 maxillary sinus CBCT images of 358 patients. The CBCT scans were assessed to detect the relationship between lateral wall thickness and PBL. ANOVA and Student t test analysis were used to determine the influence of PBL on sinus lateral wall thickness. Results: Sinus lateral wall thickness was significantly associated with PBL (p < 0.05) at 3, 13, and 15 mm height. There was no significant association between lateral wall thickness and gender (p > 0.05). However, there was a significant association between lateral wall thickness at 3 and 13 mm and age (p < 0.05). There were significant associations between PBL and age (p < 0.001), and PBL and gender (p < 0.05). Conclusions: PBL might have an association with maxillary sinus lateral bone wall thickness. Further studies are needed to confirm this possible relationship.

Phantom Head

Background Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a fast imaging technique with a substantially lower radiation dosage than conventional multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for sinus imaging. Surgical navigation systems are increasingly being used in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery, reducing perioperative morbidity. Objective To investigate CBCT as a low-radiation imaging modality for use in surgical navigation. Methods The required field of view was measured from the tip of the nose to the posterior clinoid process anteroposteriorly and the nasolabial angle to the roof of the frontal sinus superoinferiorly on 50 consecutive MDCT scans (male = 25; age = 17–85 years). A phantom head was manufactured by 3-dimensional printing and imaged using 3 CBCT scanners (Carestream, J Morita, and NewTom), a conventional MDCT scanner (Siemens), and highly accurate laser scanner (FARO). The phantom head was registered to 3 surgical navigation systems (Brainlab, Stryker, and Medtronic) using scans from each system. Results The required field of view (mean ± standard deviation) was measured as 107 ± 7.6 mm anteroposteriorly and 90.3 ± 9.6 mm superoinferiorly. Image error deviations from the laser scan (median ± interquartile range) were comparable for MDCT (0.19 ± 0.09 mm) and CBCT (CBCT 1: 0.15 ± 0.11 mm; CBCT 2: 0.33 ± 0.18 mm; and CBCT 3: 0.13 ± 0.13 mm) scanners. Fiducial registration error and target registration error were also comparable for MDCT- and CBCT-based navigation. Conclusion CBCT is a low-radiation preoperative imaging modality suitable for use in surgical navigation.
