Abstract

One of the important factors that play
s a role in the succ ess of dental implant treatment is the accuracy of evaluating the
quality and quantity of jaw bone. Parameter of quality and quantity of jaw bone that will receive the implant is the bone
picture of diagnostic information in three dimensional objects which are the thickness, width and height of the jaw bone.
To obtain information, digital technolog y such as CT Scan is needed in order to get the parameters of the jaw bone which
is relatively more accurate. This study aimed to assess the measurement of CT Sca n in the jaw bone as a correction factor
of the panoramic radiography for dental implant placement. Th e study was a cross sectional. Analysis t he subjects used
jaw bones patient who had lost a posterior maxilla or mandible . T otal sample was 60 jaws, each s ample went through CT
scan and Panoramic radiography to know the thickness, width and length of the jaw bone used for dental implant
placement. The results showed that there was significant difference p<0.05 )), of the length of the jawbone between on CT
Sc an and Panoramic radiography. I t can be concluded that CT Scan is a tool that can assess jaw bone measurement that is
more accurate than Panoramic radiography for dental implant placement.
