Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Three-dimensional X-ray images (3D images) were used for imaging diagnosis in the oral and maxillofacial region. These images could be fundamentally reconstructed from various tomograms, though clinical 3D images were mainly reconstructed from computerized tomography (CT) images. In this investigation, 3D images were reconstructed from conventional tomograms with a panoramic unit, compact CT images, and multislice helical CT images, and the usefulness of each system was subjectively assessed for dental implant treatment. Three hemilateral dried human mandibles were used and were examined by linear tomography with a panoramic unit, compact CT, and multislice helical CT, and 3D images were reconstructed by using the rendering software for each system. The 3D images were visually evaluated on a 5-point scale covering the alveolar ridge, buccal and lingual bone surface, mental foramen, and tooth sockets. As a result, 3D images reconstructed from conventional tomograms with the panoramic unit were assessed as fair to unsure, compact CT 3D images were assessed as unsure to good, and multislice helical CT 3D images were assessed as good to excellent. It was concluded that compact CT 3D images and multislice helical CT 3D images were useful in dental implant treatment.
