Tomographic Planning of Dental Implants Using a Smartphone: Linear Measurements and Implant Selection- A Cross-Sectional Study.

Purpose: This study assessed the accuracy of linear measurements and dental implant selection performed in a smartphone application compared to a computer software.

Materials And Methods: Forty-four DICOM files from the posterior mandible in partially edentulous patients were evaluated by three trained and calibrated examiners. Images were analyzed using three visualization methods: cross-sectional view (CScr) and coronal (CSco) plane using the CS 3D Imaging software, and coronal (DRco) plane using the DroidRender smartphone application.

Smartphone Use for Tomographic Evaluation: Application in Endodontic Diagnosis.

Introduction: Portable equipment that allows quick exchanges of information, such as smartphones, is increasingly important in dentistry. Thus, they have become frequently used, with the potential to contribute to the tomographic evaluation. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of smartphone applications for diagnosing the root canal system (RCS) and measuring the root canal length.
