Accuracy of CBCT images in the assessment of buccal marginal alveolar peri-implant defects: effect of field of view.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES: To investigate the reliability and accuracy of cone beam CT (CBCT) images obtained at different fields of view in detecting and quantifying simulated buccal marginal alveolar peri-implant defects. METHODS: Simulated buccal defects were prepared in 69 implants inserted into cadaver mandibles. CBCT images at three different fields of view were acquired: 40 × 40, 60 × 60 and 100 × 100 mm. The presence or absence of defects was assessed on three sets of images using a five-point scale by three observers. Observers also measured the depth, width and volume of defects on CBCT images, which were compared with physical measurements. The kappa value was calculated to assess intra- and interobserver agreement. Six-way repeated analysis of variance was used to evaluate treatment effects on the diagnosis. Pairwise comparisons of median true-positive and true-negative rates were calculated by the χ² test. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between measurements. Significance level was set as p < 0.05. RESULTS: All observers had excellent intra-observer agreement. Defect status (p < 0.001) and defect size (p < 0.001) factors were statistically significant. Pairwise interactions were found between defect status and defect size (p = 0.001). No differences between median true-positive or true-negative values were found between CBCT field of views (p > 0.05). Significant correlations were found between physical and CBCT measurements (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: All CBCT images performed similarly for the detection of simulated buccal marginal alveolar peri-implant defects. Depth, width and volume measurements of the defects from various CBCT images correlated highly with physical measurements.

Project description:ObjectivesAccurate description of buccal bone adjacent to mandibular anterior teeth is helpful for planning and monitoring periodontal and orthodontic treatment. Low-dose cone beam computed tomography (LD-CBCT) imaging has shown promising results for very small dental structures in animals. This study asserts that LD-CBCT is sufficiently accurate to measure buccal alveolar bone adjacent to human mandibular anterior teeth.Materials and methodsBuccal bone level adjacent to 16 mandibular anterior teeth from four human cadavers was measured radiographically using one high-dose (HD) CBCT protocol and two LD-CBCT protocols. The resulting radiographic measurements of buccal bone height (bl) and thickness (bt) were compared with reference probe and reflected-light microscopy measurements. Measurement medians and Bland-Altman plots were calculated, and a linear mixed model was used to compare raters and imaging modalities.ResultsAll regression coefficients were approximately 0, indicating high interrater, intrarater, and intermodality agreement. No significant differences were found between reference measurements and CBCT protocols. The mean differences for bl measurements were 0.07 mm (rater 1 [r1]) and 0.12 mm (rater 2 [r2]) for HD-CBCT; 0.07 mm (r1) and 0.13 mm (r2) for LD-CBCT-1; and 0.02 mm (r1) and 0.01 mm (r2) for LD-CBCT-2. For bt measurements, mean differences were 0.02 mm (r1) and 0.02 mm (r2) for HD-CBCT; 0.01 mm (r1) and 0.01 mm (r2) for LD-CBCT-1; and 0.00 mm (r1) and 0.01 mm (r2) for LD-CBCT-2.ConclusionsWithin the limitations of the present study, LD-CBCT seems to be a precise method for describing buccal bone and its thickness adjacent to mandibular anterior teeth in this experimental setting.Clinical relevanceFor the first time, this study showed LD-CBCT produces excellent results and is a reliable modality for imaging buccal bone in vitro. If clinical studies confirm these results, LD-CBCT could enable better treatment planning and monitoring at a radiation dose that is far lower than that of conventional HD-CBCT but similar to that of panoramic views.
