Abstract
This study evaluated the accuracy of, conventional and digital radiography and helicoidal tomography images in localizing and visualizing experimental bone defects. Dry human mandibles with good bone integrity in the evaluated regions were selected. The bone defects were performed in the socket of posterior teeth, with # 2, 6 and 10 spherical burs. The mandibles were radiographed with an Insight Plus IP-21 Kodak film, digital radiography system (Digora) and helicoidal tomographs. The visualization of bone defects was performed in the radiographic images and helicoidal tomography, with the aid of a viewbox; in the digital images, it was performed in the computer screen, with the support of Windows for Digora. Images obtained with helicoidal tomography were superior to radiographic and digital images in detecting bone defects, confined to marrow bone.
