New classification for bone type at dental implant sites: a dental computed tomography study

Abstract Objective This study proposed a new classification method of bone quantity and quality at the dental implant site using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) image analysis, classifying cortical and cancellous bones separately and using CBCT for quantitative analysis. Methods Preoperative CB...

description Abstract Objective This study proposed a new classification method of bone quantity and quality at the dental implant site using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) image analysis, classifying cortical and cancellous bones separately and using CBCT for quantitative analysis. Methods Preoperative CBCT images were obtained from 128 implant patients (315 sites). First, measure the crestal cortical bone thickness (in mm) and the cancellous bone density [in grayscale values (GV) and bone mineral density (g/cm3)] at the implant sites. The new classification for bone quality at the implant site proposed in this study is a “nine-square division” bone classification system, where the cortical bone thickness is classified into A: > 1.1 mm, B:0.7–1.1 mm, and C: < 0.7 mm, and the cancellous bone density is classified into 1: > 600 GV (= 420 g/cm3), 2:300–600 GV (= 160 g/cm3–420 g/cm3), and 3: < 300 GV (= 160 g/cm3). Results The results of the nine bone type proportions based on the new jawbone classification were as follows: A1 (8.57%,27/315), A2 (13.02%), A3 (4.13%), B1 (17.78%), B2 (20.63%), B3 (8.57%) C1 (4.44%), C2 (14.29%), and C3 (8.57%). Conclusions The proposed classification can complement the parts overlooked in previous bone classification methods (bone types A3 and C1). Trial registration The retrospective registration of this study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of China Medical University Hospital, No. CMUH 108-REC2-181.
