Usefulness of a novel density measurement drill for evaluating cancellous bone density: correlation between CT value and drilling torque value in bovine ribs.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The study aimed to examine the usefulness of a novel density measurement drill for evaluating cancellous bone density by examining the correlation between computed tomography (CT)-based Misch bone density classification and drilling torque value.

Methods

Bovine ribs were used as the drilling sites for implant placement. Multidetector CT (MDCT) was performed after contrast materials were attached to the drilling sites. CT value within the region of interest (ROI) on MDCT scan was measured and classified according to the Misch classification (D1 to D5). Drilling torque value was measured using a novel measurement drill. Next, histomorphometric analysis of the drilling site was performed to assess bone density, expressed as percentage of bone area within ROI.
