Differences in The Assessment of Dental Implant Osseointegration with Changes in Orthopantomography Exposure Settings on The Rabbit Tibia
Aim: This study investigates the differences in assessing dental implant
osseointegration with changes in orthopantomography (OPG) exposure setting in
the rabbit tibia.
Material and methods: This research design is quasi-experimental. The sample of
this research is 18 panoramic radiographs of rabbit tibia bone that had been
installed with a dental implant for 28 days with different exposure settings and were
divided into two groups of settings based on exposure time (14s and 16s). Data
were obtained by measuring bone density and fractal dimension using ImageJ 2.3.0
software. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test, independent t-test, oneway ANOVA test, and Post Hoc test at p-value < 0.05 using SPSS 21.0 software.
Results: The results of the p-value analysis showed an average image quality of
5.33 (p-value > 0.05), the largest bone density value was 0.1827, and the largest
fractal dimension value was 0.7990 (p-value < 0.05).
Conclusion: There is a difference in bone density and fractal dimension in the 14s
and 16s exposure setting variation groups.
Clinical Significance: Differences in assessing dental implant osseointegration in
different OPG exposure setting groups can obtain the best exposure setting to
evaluate dental implant osseointegration.
