Accuracy of implant height and width measurement with triaxial rotation method based on cone-beam CT.

Objective: To investigate the accuracy of implant height and width measurement in the mandibular and maxillary first molar region based on cone-beam CT (CBCT) data, and to establish an accurate method for bone measurement in the implant region.

Materials And Methods: CBCT images of 122 patients with implant in mandibular or maxillary first molar region were retrospectively collected. Two methods were used to measure sagittal height (SH), coronal height (CH), sagittal width (SW), and coronal width (CW) of implants.

Clinical, radiographic features and prognosis of cemental tear: A retrospective study of 63 teeth.

Cemental tears are often misdiagnosed due to their scarcity. In this study, we reported the second largest cohort of cemental tears thus far. By reviewing the radiographic data and medical records of 63 cemental tear teeth, we found that periapical periodontitis was the most frequent diagnosis, followed by cracked tooth/root fracture and periodontitis.
