Sonographic Imaging of Oral and Dental Anatomical Structures (A Pilot Study)

Completed

Conditions studied: Ultrasound, Oral Mucosa, Gingival Recession, Alveolar Bone Loss

In brief

The overall purpose of this study is to establish an ultrasound technique to aid in oral and dental examination of soft and hard tissues. Ultrasound is currently not used in Dentistry and associated oral examinations and its usefulness for clinical practice will be explored. This study will investigate the use of ultrasonic imaging for planning and placing dental implants, as well as evaluate the use of ultrasonic imaging for monitoring marginal bone loss around dental implants.
