To introduce a novel digital technique for precise assessment of peri-implant bone heights, enhancing accuracy and objectivity in dental implantology research.
This study utilized digital intraoral scans and digitized impressions obtained during implant exposure surgery, combined with computer-aided design (CAD) software, to measure peri-implant bone heights accurately during flap-raising procedures. The peri-implant bone measurements were quantified circumferentially and validated through a comparative analysis of intraoral and extraoral scans.
The technique demonstrated high precision, with a strong correlation (ICC = 0.902) between bone heights determined from intraoral and extraoral scans, highlighting minimal deviations and similar measurement outcomes. This approach enables comprehensive circumferential data and surface area measurements of peri-implant bone levels.
The proposed digital technique provides an objective, reliable method for peri-implant bone height assessment, offering precise, reproducible data that addresses the limitations of traditional probing and conventional imaging methods. This technique has broad applicability in dental implantology research, particularly for assessing peri-implant bone levels when a flap is raised.
介绍一种用于精确评估种植体周围骨高度的新型数字技术，提高牙种植学研究的准确性和客观性。
本研究利用种植体暴露手术期间获得的数字化口内扫描和数字化印模，结合计算机辅助设计（CAD）软件，在翻瓣手术过程中准确测量种植体周围骨高度。种植体周围骨测量在圆周方向上进行量化，并通过口内和口外扫描的对比分析进行验证。
该技术显示出高精度，口内和口外扫描确定的骨高度之间具有很强的相关性（ICC = 0.902），突出了最小偏差和相似的测量结果。这种方法能够对种植体周围骨水平进行全面的圆周数据和表面积测量。
所提出的数字技术为种植体周围骨高度评估提供了一种客观、可靠的方法，提供精确、可重复的数据，解决了传统探测和传统成像方法的局限性。该技术在牙种植学研究中具有广泛的适用性，特别是在翻瓣时评估种植体周围骨水平。
