Assessment of bone density in edentulous maxillae using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)

Résumé

Introduction In edentulous maxillae, the anterior maxilla is the region of interest for implant placement due to posterior bone resorption and sinus pneumatization. This study aimed to assess variations in bone density in different regions of the edentulous maxilla according to sex and age, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and methods 69 CBCT from edentulous maxilla were analyzed. Six virtual implants were planned between the maxillary sinuses at incisor, canine, and premolar sites. Bone densities (in Hounsfield units HU) were recorded at six points on the neck, body, and apex of the buccal and lingual areas of each virtual implant. We used the two-sample t-test to compare male and female bone densities, and the Spearman correlation coefficient to analyze the correlation between mean bone density and age. One-way analysis of variance with post hoc pairwise t-tests was used to analyze the differences in density between three sites of the edentulous maxilla and the differences in density between three parts of the implant. The significance level was set at 5%. Results Mean bone density in males was significantly higher than in females. There was a significant correlation between mean bone density and age in females. Incisor sites showed the highest mean bone density, followed by canine and premolar sites. There was a significant decline in bone density from the neck to the apex. Conclusions Bone density varied within and among edentulous maxillae. Bone density of the edentulous maxilla seemed to be influenced by age in women and by sex.
