Excerpt
We were interested to read the paper by Wang D and colleagues published in the Oct 2012 issue of
Clinical Oral Investigations. The authors assessed the accuracy of measuring bone thickness surrounding dental implants and the reliability of assessing existence and completion of osseous integration of augmentation material using a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system [
1]. They reported that the mean and the standard deviation of the differences between radiological and histological measurements of peri-implant bone thickness were −0.22 and 0.77 mm, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity were 0.77 and 0.60 for existence of bone augmentation materials (BAM), 0.59 and 0.74 for completed integration and 0.39 and 0.71 for full covering of the implant surface [
