Accuracy of periapical radiography, panoramic radiography and computed tomography for examining the mental foramen region.
The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the periapical radiography, panoramic radiography and computed tomography as predictable tools for bone height estimation for implant surgery.

| Sumario: | The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the periapical radiography, panoramic radiography and computed tomography as predictable tools for bone height estimation for implant surgery. The analyzed sample used in this study consisted of twenty dry human hemimandibles that were submitted to a series of periapical, panoramic and computed tomography exams. The region selected to this evaluation was the mental foramen area. Using an electronic digital caliper, measurements of the bone were performed in tracings obtained on each radiograph and also in the cross-sectioned hemimandibles. These measurements were then evaluated and compared with those of the mandible specimens. The results showed best results to periapical radiography and computed tomography. A suggestion of safety margin for surgical purposes was established for each of the studied exams. |
