This study evaluated bone volume change at donor sites in patients who underwent mandibular body bone block grafts using intensity-based automatic image registration. The results showed that the mean regenerated bone volume on follow-up images (4 months after surgery) was 34.87% +/- 17.11% compared to the original bone volume. The pixel value rate of the follow-up images was also significantly different from the pre-operation images. The study concluded that a longer follow-up period may be necessary for a second bone harvesting.
This study aimed to evaluate the bone volume change at donor sites in patients who received mandibular body bone block grafts using intensity-based automatic image registration. A retrospective study was conducted with 32 patients who received mandibular bone block grafts between 2017 and 2019 at the Pusan National University Dental Hospital. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were obtained before surgery (T0), 1 day after surgery (T1), and 4 months after surgery (T2). Scattered artefacts were removed by manual segmentation. The T0 image was used as the reference image for registration of T1 and T2 images using intensity-based registration. A total of 32 donor sites were analyzed three-dimensionally. The volume and pixel value of the bones were measured and analyzed. The mean regenerated bone volume rate on follow-up images (T2) was 34.87% +/- 17.11%. However, no statistically significant differences of regenerated bone volume were noted among the four areas of the donor site (upper anterior, upper posterior, lower anterior, and lower posterior). The mean pixel value rate of the follow-up images (T2) was 78.99% +/- 16.9% compared with that of T1, which was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Intensity-based registration with histogram matching showed that newly generated bone is generally qualitatively and quantitatively poorer than the original bone, thus revealing the feasibility of pixel value to evaluate bone quality in CBCT images. Considering the bone mass recovered in this study, 4 months may not be sufficient for a second harvesting, and a longer period of follow-up is required.
