Dental implants and the mandibular canal: influence of metal artifact reduction in the diagnostic with cone-beam computed tomography
Keywords in English

Abstract in English
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of Metal Artefact Reduction (MAR) in the diagnosis of dental implants regarding the mandibular canal (MC) using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Guided dental implants were installed in each hemiarch of ten dried human mandibles in the region of lower first molar: 0.5mm superior to the MC cortical (upMC/n=8) and 0,5mm inside the MC (inMC/n=10). Mandibles were included in ballistic gelatin and scanned with two CBCT devices under defined setups: fixed 90 kVp, MAR ON and OFF, and different tube currents (4mA, 8mA and 10mA). Two Dentomaxillofacial Radiologists (DMFR) and two Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) examined the images and scored (1-5 scale) the relation between the dental implant and MC. Data were analyzed for sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Fisher test was used to consider MAR, examiners, mA and CBCT devices as factors of variation. DDS and DMFR examiners were observed through Kappa considering the interexaminer and intraexaminer agreement with the real contact between the implant and MC (confidence level of 95%). Specificity was overall higher than sensitivity for both DDS and DMFR. MAR activation did not affect the sensitivity and decreased it depending on CBCT device and examiner; intraexaminer agreement was higher for DMFR compared to the DDS. Interexaminer agreement was overall poor. Due to the limited efficacy of MAR, it should not be used when conducting CBCT scans for the evaluation of contact between the implant and the mandibular canal.

Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência do Metal Artefact Reduction (MAR) no diagnóstico de implantes dentais relacionados com o canal mandibular (CM) utilizando Tomografia Computadorizada de Feixe Cônico (TCFC). Implantes dentais guiados foram instalados em cada hemiarco de dez mandíbulas humanas secas, na região do primeiro molar inferior: 0.5mm superior à cortical do CM (upCM/n=8) e 0.5mm no interior do CM (inCM/n=10). As mandíbulas foram incluídas em gelatina balística e escaneadas com dois equipamentos de TCFC com configurações definidas: 90Kvp, MAR ON e MAR OFF, e diferentes correntes de tubo (4mA, 8mA e 10mA). Dois Cirurgiões Dentistas Especialistas em Radiologia (CDER) e dois Cirurgiões Dentistas Clínico Gerais (CDCG) examinaram as imagens e pontuaram (escala de 1-5) a relação entre implante dental e CM. Dados foram analisados para sensibilidade, especificidade e acurácia. Teste Fisher foi utilizado considerando MAR, examinadores, mA e equipamentos de TCFC como fatores de variação. Examinadores CDCG e CDER foram observados através de Kappa considerando a concordância inter e extra examinadores com o real contato entre implante e CM (intervalo de confiança de 95%). Especificidade foi no geral maior que sensibilidade para ambos CDCG e CDER. Ativação do MAR não afetou a sensibilidade e reduziu-a dependendo do equipamento TCFC e examinador; concordância intra examinador foi maior para CDER comparada ao CDCG. Concordância inter examindador foi no geral pobre. Devido a eficácia limitada do MAR, este não deve ser utilizado para escaneamentos TCFC para avaliação de contato entre implantes e o canal mandibular.
