Assessment of Implant-Related Treatment With Edited Three-Dimensional Reconstructed Images From Cone-Beam Computerized Tomography: A Technical Note

Figure 1. Three-dimensional cone-beam computerized tomography (3D CBCT) reconstructed image of maxilla, before (a) and after (b) thresholding colors edition. Figure 2. 3D CBCT reconstructed image of mandible, before (a) and after (b) thresholding colors edition. Figure 3. Three-dimensional cone-beam computerized tomography (3D CBCT) reconstructed image of maxilla in a case of full-implant rehabilitation. Anterior (a) and lateral view (b).

Figure 4. 3D CBCT reconstructed image of maxilla in a case of bilateral sinus lifting. Note the grafted area depicted with the yellow color. Figure 5. CBCT assessment of case of implants placed in the right sinus grafted area (note the failure in the distal implant-prosthesis connection): (a) Panoramic CBCT cut showing beam-hardening artifact between the implants, preventing the evaluation of the sinus grafted area. (b) 3D CBCT reconstructed image showing the implants placed in the sinus grafted volume (note the presence of other implants placed in the left maxillary sinus).
