Width and height of the bone were measured to select the proper size of the implant body.
The width and height of the bone bed was assessed via preoperative cone beam CT image analysis.
For the assessment of quantity of bone formation, height of bone and location of bone in the cleft defect should be specified.
The casual error was considered low, being 0.012 mm for height of bone crest evaluation, and casual error values ranged between 0 and 4.588% in histological analyses.
A significant reduction was observed in height of bone crest in diabetic animals at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, which was associated with increased numbers of osteoclasts and inflammatory cells.
Change in height of bone surrounding the implant (height from the maxillary sinus floor to the implant tip): Immediately after surgery, all patients had grafted bone between the implant tip and the maxillary sinus floor, with a mean of 2.00 ± 1.51 mm.
In the present study, we used the superior spatial resolution of CBCT to measure changes over time in (a) the volume of the bone graft (BV) and (b) the height of the bone surrounding the implant (BH).
The scaphoid fracture was cleared and a graft interposed between the two fragments to restore the height of the bone and to prevent hump-back deformity.
Information on patients' background such as age, gender, body weight, height, history of bone fractures, smoking history, alcohol consumption, prescription of drugs, coexisting illness, admission day and discharge day was obtained from the hospital information system.
Outcome measures were survival of implants, complications, marginal changes in the height of the bone, and soft tissue variables (pocket probing depth and bleeding on probing).
