Abstract
Background and Objectives Given the substantial increase in dental implant procedures, the significance of precise linear measurements and the factors influencing them has been underscored by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of field of view (FOV) on the accuracy of linear measurements.
Subjects and Methods The study was performed on 6 human mandibles. FOVs used included: Small FOV 80 × 80 mm / Large FOV: 120 × 80 mm, each with two different resolutions. Digital caliper measurements were considered as the gold standard. Measurements were reviewed by two observers using NNT Viewer software.
Results The buccolingual dimension measured using a digital caliper, serving as the gold standard, averaged 7.02 ± 1.84 mm. CBCT measurements of the same dimension yielded mean values of 7.02 ± 1.87 mm for 80x80 FOV with high resolution, 6.97 ± 1.67 mm for 80x80 FOV with normal resolution, 6.87 ± 1.63 mm for 120x80 FOV with high resolution, and 6.93 ± 1.64 mm for 120x80 FOV with normal resolution (p = 1.000). The vertical dimension measured using a digital caliper, serving as the gold standard, averaged 18.08 ± 3.62 mm. CBCT measurements of the same dimension yielded mean values of 18.02 ± 3.65 mm for 80x80 FOV with high resolution, 18.10 ± 3.67 mm for 80x80 FOV with normal resolution, 18.09 ± 3.65 mm for 120x80 FOV with high resolution, and 18.09 ± 3.65 mm for 120x80 FOV with normal resolution (p = 1.000).
Conclusion Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in measurement accuracy between FOVs with varying resolutions.
