RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The prognosis of a dental implant depends on the mechanical properties of the bone. The preoperative diagnosis of bone quality has become more important, because the immediate loading procedure is now widely used, and a firm initial stability is required. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is an effective method of determining selectively the bone mineral density (BMD) of the trabecular bone mostly responsible for the survival of the implant. In this project, we investigated the relationship between the BMD measured by QCT and the mechanical strength of the mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The BMD (mg/mL) of 58 trabecular bone specimens from 6 embalmed human cadaver mandibles were obtained using QCT. The compressive strength to break point was performed with a mechanical device. Each specimen was washed and weighed. RESULTS: The mean values of BMD for the anterior, premolar, and molar region were 633.3, 571.0, and 518.3 mg/mL, respectively. The mean values of compressive strength were 0.237, 0.216, and 0.196 kN, and the ash weights were 0.047, 0.044, and 0.039 g, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the BMD and the mechanical strength (R = 0.77) and between the ash weight and the mechanical strength (R = 0.84). CONCLUSION: There was strong correlation of bone strength, bone mineral, and bone density by QCT. QCT is an excellent preoperative diagnostic tool to select the most mechanically appropriate implant for initial stability and improve the survival prognosis.
