Pemanfaatan hounsfield unit pada CT-scan dalam menentukan kepadatan tulang rahang untuk pemasangan implan gigi

Abstract

In the past, dental implant (DI)treatment is still an exclusive treatment can only beachieved by high class people due to unaffordable cost. However, nowadays thedemand of DI become increasing. The success of DI insertion is determined by thecondition of alveolar bone itself. Although there is no studies of DI treatment failurein Indonesia, there are some reports studied failure of DI treatment assessment whichcould be caused by the lack of quality and quantity of the alveolar bone radiographyimage. The purpose of this article was to introduce the benefit of hounsfield unit at theCT-Scan in supporting assessment of alveolar bone compactness for DI insertion. Itcan be concluded that the use of hounsfield unit at the CT-Scan can provide theclinician in determining the alveolar bone compactness prior to the DI treatment thatcan decrease the failure to occur.

“…Penggunaan sinar ronsen telah lama dikenal sebagai suatu alat bantu dalam bidang kedokteran.Gambaran yang dihasilkan foto ronsen sangat penting terutama dalam mendeteksi adanya kelainan-kelainan yang tidak tampak menjadi dapat diketahui secara jelas, sehingga sangat membantu penegakkan diagnosis dan rencana perawatan gigi. 1 Penggunaan peralatan berbasis teknologi sekarang ini, terutama pada foto ronsen, mengalami peningkatan; salah satunya perkembangan sistem komputerisasi untuk pengambilan gambar computed tomography (CT). Dalam bidang kedokteran gigi, radiografi yang biasa digunakan yaitu gambaran radiografi konvensional 2 dimensi (2D).…”

Measurement the Hounsfield Unit of Alginate Impression Material Using CT-Scan Equipment to Find Equility with The Human Body Tissue

“…Based on information from this pixel, the density of the organ to be measured can be determined. Utilization of HU can be used for measurement of jaw bone density (Yunus and Murtala, 2010), for measurement of bone tissue density (Celenk and Celenk, 2012;Lang, 2010;Schreiber et al, 2014;Whitehouse, 2020).…”
