Quantification of bone quality using different cone beam computed tomography devices: Accuracy assessment for edentulous human mandibles.

CONCLUSIONS: High resolution CBCT offers a clinical alternative to MSCT to objectively determine the bone quality prior to implant placement. However, not all tested CBCT machines have sufficient resolution to accurately depict the trabecular network or cortical bone. Conflict-of-interest statement: There is no conflict of interest to declare. FUNDING: Fellowship support came from Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) from the Belgian government, and Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) program and Science without borders from the Brazilian government.
