Background/purpose: To evaluate the measurement accuracy of hard-tissue thicknesses adjacent to dental implants with different thread designs on images obtained from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) using an in vitro model. Materials and methods: On 4 × 13-mm implant, the neck of the implant was...
