Objective: To detect and compare differences in implant length, diameter,
and position angle application during implant planning, which dentists
make full use of intraoral photography, plaster model, and two-dimensional
panoramic radiographs (OPTGs), and review only in Three Dimensional
Dental Volumetric Tomoghraphies (3DDVTs).
Methods: Three dentistry students were asked to perform implant planning
observing the intraoral photographs of patients, model casts, and
OPTGs and a digital environment with only 3DDVTs. Differences between
previous and subsequent measurements were statistically examined in 35
different records by all participating dentistry students individually and as
a whole.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference between implant
length (p=0.028), thickness (p=0.001), and angular positioning (p=0.001)
when evaluating OPTG records, model casts, and intraoral photograph data
via 3DDVTs as a whole and individually.
Conclusion: It is important to use 3DDVTs for implant planning in the mandibular
molar region.
