Objective computerised assessment of residual ridge resorption in the human maxilla and maxillary sinus pneumatisation

ConclusionsThe method was used successfully to process a large dataset to classify atrophy, to measure alveolar height parameters, and to quantify maxillary sinus volume, bottom volume and pneumatisation.Clinical relevanceApart from the anthropometric value of the generated dataset, the method could be applied to provide additional and more accurate data to assess the necessity of bone augmentation in the context of three-dimensional planning before implantation.
