- Abstract
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the regeneration of bone in the extraction socket by using computer- assisted densitometric image analysis (CADIA) in 10 patients with bilateral symmetrical mandibular third molar impactions, after extraction. In one side hydroxyapatite (HA) was placed into the socket and on the other side no graft was placed. Standardized intraoral periapical radiograph (IOPA) and orthopantomograph (OPG) were taken, 15 days postoperatively, and at 3 and 6 months interval. These radiographs were scanned by using CADIA and images were compared, which showed more density on the graft side. The radiographic data were compared to clinical parameters. The results indicated that CADIA may be useful in assessing the bone density changes in an extraction socket.
