Evaluation of a Novel Cone Beam Computed Tomography Scanner for Bone Density Examinations in Preoperative 3<scp>D</scp> Reconstructions and Correlation with Primary Implant Stability

Abstract

The WhiteFox CBCT scanner measures bone density with high accuracy. There is a correlation between bone density and primary implant stability as assessed with IT and RFA measurements. The findings suggest that BDE may be used as an additional feature in treatment-planning software to estimate primary stability at predetermined implant sites.
