Dual Energy Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (DE-CBCT) Assessment of Jaw Bone Density

Sponsor: University of California, Los Angeles

Summary

Current radiologic imaging modalities used in dentistry provide information on the morphology of the hard tissues. Additional information on the density of bone has practical relevance, for example, in dental implant treatment planning, where local bone quality is a known strong predictor of successful implant osseointegration. The Dual-Energy Cone Beam Computed Tomography (DE-CBCT) device is designed to overcome limitations of traditional imaging and will provide assessment of jaw bone density in additional to morphological information. This clinical trial will examine the application of DE-CBCT to assess jaw bone density and compare Hounsfield units (HU) values with multidetector CT, an established standard for assessing BD.
