Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the influence of voxel and field of view (FOV) sizes on expression of the volumetric alteration artifact (VAA) of 5 high-density materials in 2 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) devices. STUDY DESIGN Cylinders of amalgam, cobalt-chromium, gutta-percha, titanium, and zirconium were individually positioned in a polymethyl methacrylate phantom. OP300 Maxio and ProMax 3D Classic CBCT devices were used to acquire images with varying voxel and FOV sizes, totaling 585 scans. Two evaluators segmented the high-density cylinder images to obtain the tomographic volumes. The difference between the tomographic and physical volume of each cylinder (i.e., volumetric alteration) was calculated. Statistical analysis was conducted with multiway ANOVA and the Tukey post hoc test (α = 5%). Evaluator reliability was measured with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS All studied parameters and nearly all interactions influenced the VAA (P < .05). The post hoc test demonstrated less volumetric alteration for the smallest voxel sizes, 61 × 78 mm FOV, and gutta-percha for OP300, and for the smallest voxel sizes, 80 × 80 mm FOV, and gutta-percha and titanium for ProMax 3D (P < .05). The ICC demonstrated perfect reliability (1.00). CONCLUSIONS Voxel and FOV sizes influenced VAA expression. Using smaller voxel sizes, the 61 × 78 mm FOV for OP300 and the 80 × 80 mm FOV for ProMax 3D, and materials with lower density and lower atomic number reduced VAA expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the distortion of high-density materials using two CBCT devices presenting convex triangular and cylindrical fields of view (FOVs). METHODS AND MATERIALS Four high-density cylinders were individually placed in a polymethylmethacrylate phantom. 192 CBCT scans were acquired using the convex triangular and cylindrical FOVs of Veraviewepocs® R100 (R100) and Veraview® X800 (X800) devices. Using HorosTM's software, two oral radiologists determined the cylinders' horizontal and vertical dimensional alterations. Nine oral radiologists subjectively identified each cylinder's axial shape distortion. Statistical analysis comprised Multiway ANOVA (α = 5%), and the Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS The distortion in the axial plane was greater in the convex triangular FOVs for both devices in almost all the materials (p < 0.05). The evaluators subjectively identified a shape distortion in both FOVs for R100 device (p < 0.001), while no distortion was identified for X800 device (p = 0.620). A vertical magnification of all materials was observed in both FOVs for both devices (p < 0.05). No differences among vertical regions (p = 0.988) nor FOVs (p = 0.544) were found for the R100 device, while all materials showed higher magnification in all regions in the cylindrical FOV (p < 0.001) of the X800 device. CONCLUSIONS The convex triangular FOV influenced the axial distortion of the high-density materials in both devices. A vertical magnification was observed in both FOVs of both devices, but it was greater in the cylindrical FOV of the X800 device.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term clinical outcome of mini dental implants (MDIs) to support an overdenture is underreported especially in severely atrophic maxillae and when installed flaplessly. PURPOSE The current report is a 5-years follow-up of the previously published 2- and 3-years clinical outcome of MDIs supporting a maxillary overdenture in narrow alveolar ridges. MDI survival, marginal bone level, peri-implant health, technical complications, and oral health related quality of life (OHIP) and respective changes over time are reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects aged 50 years or older, in need of improvement of maxillary denture retention, were included. The MDIs were 2.4 mm diameter one-piece tapered implants, Class 4 pure Titanium, and lengths 10 or 11.5 mm. Under local anesthesia, 5-6 MDIs were placed in atrophic maxillae with a free-handed flapless approach. One week postoperative the denture was adapted with a retentive soft reliner. The final prosthetic connection was established after 6 months with a metal-reinforced horse-shoe denture. Clinical outcome after 5 years was assessed with probing pocket depts (PPD), bleeding on probing (BoP), and additional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) MDI bone level measurements were performed. Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) investigated with OHIP-14 was assessed preoperative, during provisional loading, and after final prosthetic connection up to 5 years. RESULTS Initially, 31 patients (14 females and 17 males) with mean age 62.30 underwent treatment. In the provisional loading interval, 16 patients encountered 32/185 MDIs failures, resulting in a failure of 17.3%; 170 MDIs were functionally loaded in 29 patients. Additionally, 14 implants were lost in three patients, all of whom had had already previous failures. Reimplantation of 17 MDIs were performed during the provisional loading and 2 MDI after functional loading. After 5 years, the absolute implant failure rate was 46/204 (22.5%), corresponding to a cumulative failure rate of 23.2%. Prosthetic failure was observed in four patients due to implant loss and in two patients related to excessive one-piece implant ball attachment wear, making the 5-years prosthetic success 80.0%. The mean PPD and absence/presence of BoP for 149 implants at 5 years was 4.3 and 0.2 mm, respectively. Average mesial-distal-vestibular-palatal bone loss in the interval 2-5 years was 0.08 mm. No statistically significant difference in marginal MDI bone loss between male or female (p = 0.835), smoking and nonsmoking (p = 0.666) was observed. The five-years total measured CBCT interdental bone level (mesial and distal) correlates with the 5-years PPD (Pearson 0.434; p = 0.01). After 5 years, OHRQoL with the treatment procedure was assessed in 27/31 participants. Decreasing mean total OHIP-14 scores with improved OHRQoL, was observed in 27/31 participants, with values of 21.3 at baseline to 15.6 at the time of provisional loading which significantly (p = 0.006) decrease to 7.3 at the final prosthetic connection. The next 3-5 years further decrease was observed with 6.5 and 4.96, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Maxillary MDIs for overdentures are an accessible and acceptable treatment option. Although after 5 years between one fifth and one fourth of the MDIs were lost, prosthetic success remains 80.0% and high OHRQoL could be achieved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to quantitatively compare the area and volume of artifacts in cone beam computed tomography produced by mesoporous calcium silicate nanoparticles (MCSNs), AH Plus sealer, and iRoot SP sealer when used as root canal sealers. METHODS We prepared 40 single-rooted mandibular premolars and divided them into an MCSN sealer group, an AH Plus sealer group, an iRoot SP sealer group, and a no-sealer (control) group. We filled the canals with gutta-percha using the single-cone method and subjected them to conebeam computed tomography before and after the placement of root fillings using the same exposure parameters. We evaluated the images to quantify the areas of hyperdense and hypodense artifacts and non-affected teeth and reconstructed 3-dimensional image models of the materials to study volume distortion artifacts. RESULTS The MCSN sealer group produced a significantly smaller hyperdense and volume distortion artifacts than the AH Plus and iRoot SP groups (P < .01), but the area and volume of hypodense artifacts did not differ significantly among the groups (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS When used as a root canal sealer, MCSNs generate a significantly smaller area and volume of hyperdense artifacts than AH Plus and iRoot SP sealers. By significantly reducing the generation of high-density artifacts, MCSNs may facilitate the evaluation of root canal filling quality and the diagnosis of root canal abnormalities.

Abstract
AIM To assess, in vitro, variables potentially influencing implant blooming using a human-like imaging phantom and 3D-printed mandibles. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty implants were inserted in 3D-printed mandibles in 26 different configurations in order to examine the impact of implant diameter, presence of a cover screw, implant design/material, implant position, and the presence of additional implants on implant blooming using two cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) devices (Accuitomo [ACC] and NewTom [NWT]). Two observers measured the amount of implant blooming in both buccolingual and mesiodistal directions. Inter-rater agreement and descriptive statistics, grouped by implant characteristic and CBCT device, were calculated. RESULTS Both CBCT devices increased implant diameter (a mean increase of 9.2% and 11.8% for titanium, 20.3% and 24.4% for zirconium, for ACC and NWT, respectively). An increase in implant diameter did not increase the amount of blooming, whereas placing a cover screw did (from 8.0% to 10.9% for ACC, and from 10.0% to 15.6% for NWT). Moreover, implant design, anatomical region, and the presence of another implant also affected the extent of the blooming. CONCLUSIONS Dental implants show a clear diameter increase on CBCT, with the effect being more pronounced for zirconium than for titanium implants. Similar effects are likely to occur in the clinical setting, potentially masking nonosseointegration, reducing the dimensions of peri-implant defects, and/or causing underestimation of the buccal bone thickness.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of dimensional distortion and its changes with modification of exposure setting parameters on the measurements of peri-implant bone margin. Ten titanium dental implants (InKone Primo, Global D, Paris, France) were placed in two prepared bovine ribs. Two bone models and an implant-with-transfer model were scanned with 3shape E4 (3shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) laboratory scanner. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of two bone models were taken with different values of voltage (60, 70, 80, 90 kV), tube current (4, 10 mA) and voxel size (200, 300 µm). All the data were superimposed using planning software, and the measurements of buccal bone thickness in two selected regions were performed both using CBCT and scan cross-sections. The mean squared error (MSE) being the squared differences between measurements was used in the accuracy assessment of the CBCT device. A one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences between voltage and MSE (p = 0.044), as well as implant position and MSE (p = 0.005). The distortions of measurements depend on bone margin thickness, and the higher the distance to measure, the higher the error. Accurate measurements of buccal bone thickness (MSE below 0.25) were achieved with voltage values of 70, 80, and 90 kV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the expression of the volumetric alteration (VA) artifact between cylindrical and convex triangular fields of view (FOVs) using high-density materials in different positions in two cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) devices. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cylinders of five high-density materials (amalgam, chromium-cobalt, gutta-percha, titanium, and zirconium) with known physical volume were individually submitted to CBCT acquisition in four positions inside a polymethylmethacrylate phantom using two different FOV shapes (convex triangular and cylindrical) on the Veraviewepocs® R100 (R100) and Veraview® X800 (X800) devices. Two oral radiologists obtained the tomographic volumes by segmenting each cylinder. The difference between the tomographic and physical volumes corresponded to the VA. These values were analyzed by intraclass correlation coefficient and analysis of variance for repeated measures with Tukey post hoc test (α = 5%). RESULTS The FOV influenced the VA only in the X800 device (p = 0.014): the VA in the triangular FOV was greater than in the cylindrical FOV. The VA in the triangular FOV of the X800 device was greater than the R100 device (p < 0.0001). The material influenced the expression of the VA only in the R100 device (p < 0.0001); gutta-percha presented the highest VA, being underestimated, and differing from the other materials (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The triangular FOV increased the VA of high-density materials in the X800 device. CLINICAL RELEVANCE It is important to know if there is an influence on the volumetric alteration artifact of dental materials due to the different image formation geometry in the convex triangular FOV.
