<title>Introduction</title>
<p>The discovery of X-rays by Roentgen in 1895 revolutionized dentistry.
<xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
In the last decade, three dimensional technology was refined for integration into routine dental practice with the discovery of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).</p>
<p>A risk of nerve infiltration and maxillary sinus perforation exists originating from inappropriate pre-surgical planning due to the innate discrepancy between radiographic measurements and real dimensions. Precise radiographic assessment of available alveolar bone and identification of characteristic bone morphology are of prime importance for dental implant placement. Radiation dose, magnification rate, and specific indications are to be considered when selecting the type of radiographic modality.
<xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
</p>
<p>One commonly used clinical method for assessing edentulous ridges transversely is ridge mapping, in which sharp-beaked calipers are used to measure the faciolingual width of the residual bony ridge at the proposed implant site.
<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
</p>
<p>The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of pre-surgical planning based on the use of two types of radiographic image (orthopantomography [OPG] and CBCT) and ridge mapping to analyze the differences in measurements between radiographic images and real specimens.</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec1-2">
<title>Materials and Methods</title>
<p>This study was carried out in Department of Prosthodontics, M R Ambedkar Dental College and Hospital, Bengaluru. The CBCT and OPG scans were done at Oral D Diagnostic and Scanning Centre, Bengaluru.</p>
<p>Fifteen partially or completely dry edentulous adult human cadaveric mandible samples were selected from the Department of Anatomy, Ambedkar Medical College and Hospital, Bangalore, for this study and were used to examine the values of CBCT, OPG, and direct measurements (DM). The sex and age of these samples were unknown. The posterior teeth were extracted in case there was a tooth present on the cadaveric mandible. For each specimen, a single posterior mandibular implant site was selected and marked on the specimen with a line drawn transverse to the dental arch. The following points were marked along this line on the buccal and lingual aspects of the ridge:</p>
<p>
<list list-type="bullet">
<list-item>
<p>2 mm - From the crest of the alveolar ridge.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>5 mm - From the crest of the alveolar ridge.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>8 mm- From the crest of the alveolar ridge.</p>
</list-item>
</list>
</p>
<p>Areas extending from first premolar to the third molar were identified for each mandible bilaterally. Three pairs of buccal/lingual measurement points were defined at the site of implant placement and marked on the mandible located at 2 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm from the summit of the crest of the alveolar ridge. Modeling wax was used to stabilize a steel ball of 4 mm diameter on the crest of the ridge and the gutta-percha points at those reference points. Gutta-percha was used to provide radiopaque landmarks indicating the locations for comparative radiographic ridge width measurements. The steel ball at the crest of the ridge was used as a reference point to calculate the height of the mandible. The guides (gutta-percha) used for the measurements to the desired heights from the crest of the ridge was measured using a digital vernier caliper with 0.01 mm sensitivity. Gutta-percha points were fixed at the specified locations using super glue.</p>
<p>These specimens were then subjected to CBCT, OPG. The mandibles were then sectioned in the marked planes using a 0.6 mm wide band saw. The distance between those landmarks on the mandibles was measured using a digital vernier caliper with an accuracy of 0.01 mm.</p>
<sec id="sec2-1">
<title>CBCT measurements</title>
<p>The mandibles were stabilized on a polystyrene stand and scanned by a CBCT unit operating at 120 kVp, 3-8 mA, and 0.5 mm nominal focal spot size. The data were imported into implant planning software (DICOM). The images of the planes were transferred to an image storage and measurement system (Med3D) and calibrated using the implant planning software reference gauge lines. The distance on the radiographic image was measured with a tool built into the image storage and measurement software. The CBCT measurements for calculating the width was done at 2 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm buccolingually and the height of the mandible was measured from the inferior point of the steel ball to the most inferior point on the mandible.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec2-2">
<title>OPG measurements</title>
<p>The mandibles were stabilized on a polystyrene stand and scanned by an OPG unit. Digital panoramic images were taken at 57 kV, 2 mA with an exposure time of 17.6 s. Using software, the movements of the machine can be controlled to obtain accurate locations and angles of the objective plane. The distance on the radiographic image was measured with a tool built into the image storage and measurement software. The height of the mandible on the OPG with the help of the software was measured from the inferior point of the steel ball to the most inferior point on the mandible.</p>

<sec id="sec2-3">
<title>DMs</title>
<p>The mandibles were sectioned in the marked planes using a 0.6 mm wide band saw. Landmarks were identified on the fresh specimens and their respective images. The distance between those landmarks on the fresh mandibles was measured using a digital vernier caliper with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. Measurements made on the actual mandible served as gold standard. Three linear measurements were recorded buccolingually on either side at 2 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm from the crest of the alveolar ridge to record the width of the bone using the digital vernier caliper. The gutta-percha markings were used as reference points for all these measurements. The distance between the occlusal landmarks, i.e. the inferior point of the steel ball to the inferior border of the mandible was also recorded using a digital vernier caliper to record the height of the mandible.</p>

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>Implant treatment is today a common prosthetic therapy worldwide. The quality and quantity of bone available at the anticipated implant site is of importance during planning and follow-up after implant placement.
<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
Accurate pre-surgical planning assessment requires precise radiographic visualization of anatomic structures and pathologic conditions.
<xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
Panoramic radiographs are a worldwide used standard radiographic examination tool when planning treatment with implants as they impart low radiation dosage while giving the best radiographic survey. Panoramic radiographs are reliable to evaluate the available bone height before placing implants in the mandibular posterior region.
<xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
</p>
<p>The terminology “cone beam” refers to the conical shape of the beam that scans the patient in a circular path around the vertical axis of the head. The physical size and shape of CBCT units has paralleled the panoramic pathway. One of the very first commercially available cone beam machines, New Tom 9000 (QR srl, Verona, Italy), was a large unit that scanned the patient lying in the supine position. It was followed by New Tom 3G.
<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
Eventually smaller units with better scanner quality that fit into the dental office space and overhead budgets have replaced the older ones.
<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
Wilson introduced the concept of ridge mapping.
<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
</p>
<p>This study was performed to compare the diagnostic information gathered by CBCT imaging, OPG and DMs for pre-surgical implant dentistry assessment to establish a basis to weigh the potential diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of each imaging modality in implant dentistry.</p>
<p>The model, which was used in the study enabled DMs of the actual distances that are not possible in humans. Allen
<italic>et al</italic>
. reported that direct caliper measurement following the exposure of the bone surgically seemed to be the most accurate measurement and could be considered the gold standard.
<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
A comparison of the CBCT to direct caliper measurements in our study showed deviations within 0.5 mm. This was in accordance with the study done by Chen
<italic>et al</italic>
. where the bucco-lingual width was overestimated using CBCT images. This seemed to be related to difficulties in defining the cortical borders of the alveolar process. Another problem related to the CBCT measurements was the difficulty in finding single buccal, lingual cross-sectional images that passed through the center of all six gutta-percha points.
<xref rid="ref10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
</p>
<p>In a study reported by Hu
<italic>et al</italic>
. the measurement error in CBCT did not show any significant difference from that in digital panoramic radiography, which is in accordance to this present study. This shows that there will be a lesser number of errors when pre-surgical plans are made using dental panoramic radiography in the mandible. Identifying the superior border of the mandible is easier than the inferior border of the maxillary sinus because the mandibular canal is easily identifiable in most of the cases. This easy detection of the mandibular canal will allow dental surgeons to place implants in the posterior mandibular region without any surgical issues as long as the bucco-lingual width is measured carefully. DM using calipers is recommended either intraorally or extraorally on a study model.
<xref rid="ref11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
</p>
<p>This study there was a slight increase of 0.5 mm in CBCT measurements compared to DMs. Chen
<italic>et al</italic>
. in their study found overestimations of up to 8 mm in a study conducted in humans. Several factors might have caused these substantial overestimations. First, radiographic and DMs were not obtained in the same manner; CBCT scans were obtained with radiographic guides in the jaws, whereas DMs were performed without the radiographic guides following the surgical exposure of the bone. Second, DMs in patients could have been impaired owing to inherent difficulties of accessibility and surgical conditions, leading to potential inconsistencies between radiographic and DMs. Moreover, since the study was performed in patients, the reliability of CBCT for the evaluation of the vertical dimension of the alveolar bone could not be determined. A study was done by Halperin-Sternfeld
<italic>et al</italic>
. to compare linear measurements made on CBCT images to DMs in
<italic>ex-vivo</italic>
porcine mandibles found a good correlation between CBCT and DMs. They found out that, a sizable portion of the CBCT measurements showed overestimations, indicating that the actual linear distances may be smaller than their radiographic appearance which correlates with the present study.
<xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
</p>
<p>A study conducted by Correa
<italic>et al</italic>
. where dental implant sizes were planned with OPG, CBCT-generated panoramic images, and CBCT cross-sectional images, found out that there was no significant difference in implant length among the three imaging modalities. It hardly mattered for the change in implant step sizes whether CBCT-cross-sectional images was compared to digital panoramic radiography or CBCT-generated panoramic images, which were in accordance with the present study.
<xref rid="ref13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
</p>
<p>Dula
<italic>et al</italic>
. did a study on decision making criteria for radiographic assessment of implant patients stated that according to current radiation protection regulations, both nationally and internationally, are based on justification and the as low as reasonably achievable principle.</p>
<p>This implies that every radiographic examination must be carried out to the benefit of the patient by application of the lowest possible dose.</p>
<p>Therefore, the selection of imaging technique is already a part of the radiation protection measures.

<title>Conclusion</title>
<p>The most frequently used imaging modalities in implant dentistry are proposed based on the clinical need and biologic risks associated with the patient. CBCT and OPG are two common imaging modalities used in implant dentistry. Direct mapping also provides reliable information to predict width of the bone available for implantation.</p>
<p>Each application of radiographic technology must be taken into account its potential risks and the net benefit it produces. Radiation dosages for the investigated CBCT device are three times higher than those seen in OPG. For the present study, a sizable portion of the CBCT measurements with respect to width showed slight overestimations, indicating that the actual linear distances may be smaller than their radiographic appearance. In clinical implant practice, this may result in potential injury to vital anatomic structures adjacent to the implant site. There was no significant statistical difference between the three measurement methods when height was taken into account. Pre-surgical planning can be performed safely using OPG in mandible; however, pre-surgical planning using CBCT is recommended in the maxilla when a structure in the buccolingual location needs to be evaluated because this imaging modality supplies buccolingual information that cannot be obtained from OPG.</p>
