Popis: Item does not contain fulltext OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) reconstructions in displaying bone surface size and cortical layer thickness. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two fresh frozen cadaver heads were scanned using a CBCT (i-CAT() 3D Imaging System; Imaging Sciences International Inc.). The mandibles were sectioned and digitalized for histological evaluation. Dimensions as measured on these sections were compared with CBCT measurements of the same region with the use of 3D image-based planning software (Procera System NobelGuide() ; Nobel Biocare). To allow optimal comparison between histological and CBCT sections, reference markers were placed into the mandibles. The Student t-test was utilized to analyze the data. Differences with P-values
