- Imaging Science in Dentistry (Imaging Sci Dent; ISD) is a peer reviewed and open access journal providing up to date information dedicated to the radiology and related sciences for oral cavity, jaws, face, and neck.
- Purpose: The study was performed to evaluate the canges of jaw bone density around the dental implant after placement using computed tomography scan (CT-Scan). Materials and Methods: This prospective study consisted of 30 patients who had lost 1 posterior tooth in maxilla or mandible and installed dental implant. The patients took CT-Scan before and after implant placement. Hounsfield Unit (HU) was measured around the implants and evaluated the difference oh HU before and after implant installation. Results: The mean HU of jawbone was 542.436 HU and 764.94 HU after implant placement, respectively (p<0.05). The means Hus for male were 632.3 HU and 932.2 HU and those for female 478.2 HU and 645.5 HU before and after implant placement, respectively (p<0.05). Also, the jaw bone with lower density needed longer period for implant procedure and the increased cange of HU of jaw bone was less in the cases which needed longer period for integration. Conclusion: CT-Scan could be use to assess the cange of bone density around dental implants. Bone density around dental implant was increased after placement. The increased rate of bone density could be determined by the quality of jaw bone before implant placement.
