fa Diagnostic imaging of trabecular bone microstructure for oral implants: a literature review رادیولوژی دهان، فک و صورت Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology پژوهشي Research Several dental implant studies have reported that radiographic evaluation of bone quality can aid in reducing implant failure. Bone quality is assessed in terms of its quantity, density, trabecular characteristics and cells. Current imaging modalities vary widely in their efficiency in assessing trabecular structures, especially in a clinical setting. Most are very costly, require an extensive scanning procedure coupled with a high radiation dose and are only partially suitable for patient use. This review examines the current literature regarding diagnostic imaging assessment of trabecular microstructure prior to oral implant placement and suggests cone beam CT as a method of choice for evaluating trabecular bone microstructure. <hr><p><strong>Source: </strong>DentoMaxilloFacial Radiology </p><p><a href="http://dmfr.birjournals.org/content/42/3/20120075.abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> dental implants, cone beam CT, microstructure 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1364&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 N Ibrahim N.Ibrahim@acta.nl 10031947532846006289 10031947532846006289 Yes Department of General and Specialized Dentistry, Section of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), Amsterdam, Netherlands/Department of General Dental Practice and Oral & Maxillofacial Imaging, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia A Parsa 10031947532846006290 10031947532846006290 No Department of General and Specialized Dentistry, Section of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), Amsterdam, Netherlands B Hassan 10031947532846006291 10031947532846006291 No Department of General and Specialized Dentistry, Section of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), Amsterdam, Netherlands P Van der Stelt 10031947532846006292 10031947532846006292 No Department of General and Specialized Dentistry, Section of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), Amsterdam, Netherlands D Wismeijer 10031947532846006293 10031947532846006293 No Department of Experimental and Restorative Dentistry, Section of Implantology and Prosthetic Dentistry, Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), Amsterdam, Netherlands
