Abstract:
:The present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and repeatability of morphological contour interpolation (MCI)-based semiautomatic segmentation method for volumetric measurements of bone grafts around dental implants. Three in vitro (one with a cylinder and two with a geometrically complex form) and four ex vivo models (peri-implant cylinder-shaped bone defect) were created for imitating implant placement with simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure. Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) scans of all models were obtained with the same parameters. For volumetric measurements, the actual volumes of bone grafts in models were assessed by computer-aided calculation and both manual and MCI-based methods were utilized as test methods. The accuracy of the methods was evaluated by comparing the measured value and the actual volume. The repeatability was assessed by calculating the coefficients of variation of repeated measurements. For the accuracy of three dimensional (3D) reconstructions, the computer-designed corresponding models were set as the reference and the morphological deviation of 3D surface renderings created by two methods were evaluated by comparing with reference. Besides, measurement time was recorded and a comparison between the two methods was performed. High accuracy of the MCI-based segmentation method was found with a discrepancy between the measured value and actual value never exceeding - 7.5%. The excellent repeatability was shown with coefficients of variation never exceeding 1.2%. The MCI-based method showed less measurement time than the manual method and its 3D surface rendering showed a lower deviation from the reference.
