Computer-based automatic classification of trabecular bone pattern can assist radiographic bone quality assessment at dental implant site.
CONCLUSION: Automatic classification performed better than subjective classification with a prediction model comprising only structure-related parameters. Advances in knowledge: Computer-aided trabecular bone pattern assessment based on morphometric parameters could assist objectivity in clinical bone quality classification.
