Objective: To assess the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in periimplant fenestration and dehiscence detection, and to determine the effects of 2 voxel sizes and scan modes.

Study Design: One hundred titanium implants were placed in bovine ribs in which periimplant fenestration and dehiscence were simulated. CBCT images were acquired with the use of 3 protocols of the i-CAT NG unit: A) 0.2 mm voxel size half-scan (180°); B) 0.2 mm voxel size full-scan (360°); and C) 0.12 mm voxel size full scan (360°). Receiver operating characteristic curves and diagnostic values were obtained. The Az values were compared with the use of analysis of variance.

Results: The Az value for dehiscence in protocol A was significantly lower than those of B or C (P < .01). They did not statistically differ for fenestration (P > .05).

Conclusions: Protocol B yielded the highest values. The voxel sizes did not affect fenestration and dehiscence detection, and for dehiscence full-scan performed better than half-scan.

Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics adjuvant camouflage therapy for Class III malocclusion: a case report.

BMC Oral Health

November 2024

Department of Orthodontics (WangFuJing Campus), School of Stomatology, Capital Medical University, Scylla alley No.11, Beijing, 100006, P. R. China.

Article Synopsis
  • - Potential risks in orthodontics increase with tooth movement beyond alveolar bone, particularly in patients with a thin bone plate, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation and multidisciplinary strategies.
  • - A case report illustrates successful treatment of a 25-year-old man with Class III malocclusion using periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO), involving techniques like molar distalization and mandibular incisor retraction.
  • - The treatment resulted in improved dental alignment, enhanced labial bone thickness, and minimized complications such as bone fenestration and dehiscence, highlighting the effectiveness of PAOO in orthodontic cases.

Objectives: This study sought to assess the diagnostic value of ultrasonography (USG) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the visibility of periodontal defects.

Materials And Methods: We created 37 periodontal defects (dehiscence and fenestration) in fresh sheep mandibles. Two dentomaxillofacial radiologists assessed the CBCT and ultrasonographic images for the presence of defects.

Background: Superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) is a vestibular-cochlear disorder in humans in which a pathological third mobile window of the otic capsule creates changes to the flow of sound pressure energy through the perilymph/endolymph. The primary symptoms include sound-induced dizziness/vertigo, inner ear conductive hearing loss, autophony, headaches, and visual problems. We have developed an animal model of this human condition in the Mongolian Gerbil that uses surgically created SSCD to induce the condition.

A Life-Size Three-Dimensional Phantom for Periodontal Imaging Development and Treatment-Planning.

Acad Radiol

October 2023

Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine, School of Dentistry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA (A.R.B., H.-L.C.).

Rationale And Objectives: This study aims to (1) describe a periodontal and implant ultrasound imaging phantom designed for training of common periodontal and peri-implant soft- and hard-tissue deficiencies, and (2) detail the specific anatomical phantom features and showcase imaging data obtained from intraoral scans, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as well as ultrasound.

Materials And Methods: A prototype, full-sized, three-dimensional (3D), periodontal ultrasound phantom was created. To mimic periodontal and peri-implant soft-tissue, a phantom material similar to soft-tissue was attached.

Impact of vertical facial type on alveolar bone thickness and tooth morphology: A retrospective CBCT-based clinical study.

J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg

October 2024

Department of Stomatology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei 430071, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between vertical facial patterns and the structure of alveolar bone and teeth, which is important for effective orthodontic treatment planning.
  • Researchers analyzed 300 cone-beam computed tomography scans from orthodontic patients, focusing on alveolar bone thickness and the crown and root dimensions of maxillary anterior teeth across different facial types.
  • Results showed that short facial types had thicker alveolar bone compared to normal and long facial types, emphasizing the need to consider facial type during orthodontic planning.
