Objective: The present study aimed to introduce a method for obtaining three-dimensional (3D) digital models of the periodontal ligament (PDL) using 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) reconstruction and to evaluate the accuracy and agreement of the periodontal bone loss assessed by 3D PDL models.
Methods: CBCT data collected from four skeletal class III patients prior to periodontal surgery were reconstructed at 3 voxel sizes (0.2 mm, 0.25 mm and 0.3 mm), and 3D teeth and alveolar bone models were generated to obtain PDL digital models of the upper and lower anterior teeth. Linear measurements of the alveolar bone crest obtained during periodontal surgery were compared with digital measurements to examine the accuracy of the digital models. The agreement and reliability of the digital PDL models were analysed using intra- and interexaminer correlations and Bland–Altman plots.
Results: Digital models of the upper and lower anterior teeth, PDL and alveolar bone of four patients were successfully established. Linear measurements obtained from the 3D digital models were accurate compared with the measurements obtained intraoperatively, and there were no significant differences among different voxel sizes at different sites. High diagnostic coincidence rates were found for the upper anterior teeth, and high intra- and interexaminer agreement was found for the digital models.
Conclusions: Digital PDL models acquired by 3D CBCT reconstruction provide accurate and useful information regarding the alveolar crest morphology and allow reproducible measurements, which could assist clinicians to evaluate periodontal prognosis and determine an appropriate orthodontic treatment plan.
