Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the clinical effect and implementation method of mandibular molar implantation using a CT machine combined with Simplant software so as to provide a safer and more reliable method for preoperative preparation of mandibular molar implantation.
Methods: CT/cone-beam CT (CBCT) examinations were applied among 10 cases selected into the study. The Simplant software was used to measure the distances between implantation point center and superior wall of inferior alveolar nerve canal (H1), buccolingual diameter (H2), mesiodistal diameter (H3), ginginal thickness(H4) and occlusal distance (H5). Simplant software was also applied to calculate the bone mineral density of implantation areas and trace the inferior alveolar nerve canal.
Results: H1 was between 10.7 mm-17.6 mm, H3 was between 5.4mm-8.3mm.The 10 selected cases undertook implantations according to the results of simulation and all of them succeed after a one year's clinical follow-up.
Conclusions: According to its accuracy in measuring data of the implantation area, Simplant software can be routinely used in preoperative preparation of mandibular molar implantation, which will make the process safer and more controllable.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the impact of cortical bone thickness, bone density, and residual ridge shape on the accuracy of dental implant placement using digital guides in the posterior mandibular area.
- The research involved 75 implants from 55 patients, utilizing advanced imaging and software tools (CBCT scans and Simplant Pro 17) for analysis and planning.
- Key findings revealed that lower bone density and certain ridge shapes (like S-shape) negatively affected the precision of implant placement, particularly in angular and linear deviations.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the volume of maxillary sinuses in asthmatic patients compared to controls using cone beam computed tomography imaging of 312 sinuses from 156 individuals.
- - Results showed that asthmatic patients had significantly smaller maxillary sinus volumes than the control group, with no significant differences in age or gender between the two groups.
- - This research is unique, as it’s the first to measure maxillary sinus volume in asthmatic patients, paving the way for further studies in this area.

Purpose: The potential relationship between impacted mandibular third molar and lingual bone thickness was investigated by quantitative measurement of lingual bone thickness, and a three-dimensional visualization model of lingual bone was established.
Methods: Image data of 200 cases of mandibular impacted third molar were collected from the database of Hefei Stomatological Hospital. Thickness measurement and three-dimensional reconstruction of lingual bone at different measurement sites were performed by Simplant Pro software.

Symmetry is an essential component of esthetic assessment. Accurate assessment of facial symmetry is critical to the treatment plan of orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment. However, there is no internationally accepted midsagittal plane (MSP) for orthodontists and orthognathic surgeons.

Accurate orthodontic analysis and diagnosis based on anatomical landmarks is essential to the success of orthodontic treatment. Helical computed tomography (CT) has evolved markedly, and dentists can now quickly obtain 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction data using this imaging modality. The planning of orthodontic treatment had traditionally been based on cephalometric analysis using 2D landmarks.
