Objectives.
Histomorphometry is the established gold standard for inspection of trabecular microstructures in biomaterial research.
However, microcomputed tomography can provide images from the perspective of various section planes.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different section planes, which may cause bias in two-dimensional morphometry, on the morphometric values of microcomputed tomography.
Methods.
A socket preservation technique was performed on the extracted premolar area of 4 beagle dogs.
After an 8-week healing period, a total of 16 specimens were obtained and analyzed with conventional histomorphometry and microtomographic morphometry.
Using the original images of the histologic specimens for comparison, the most similar tomographic image was selected by trial and error.
Then, the section plane was then moved with ±79 μm parallel offsets and rotated ±10° around the center from the occlusal view.
The images were compared in terms of bone, graft, and noncalcified area, and the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) was calculated.
Results.
There was a high CCC in the comparison between histomorphometric images and the most similar microtomographic images.
However, the CCC value was low in the comparisons with both parallel movement and rotation.
Our results demonstrate that the sectioning plane has a significant effect on measurements.
Conclusion.
Two-dimensional morphometric values for biomaterial research should be interpreted with caution, and the simultaneous use of complementary 3-dimensional tools is recommended.
