Classification of the Level of Mandibular Atrophy– a Computer-assisted Study Based on 500 CT Scans

For the optimal treatment of patients with highly atrophic mandibles, it is required to assess and quantify the extent of atrophy. The classification schemes that are well established today are known to be limited with respect to objectivity and reproducibility. Thus, the aim of the study was to generate a computer-aided method of classification, investigate its applicability in comparison with the established methods, and apply it to a large set of data.
