Correlation Between CBCT and Torque-Based Measurements of Bone Density: A Study on Polyurethane Foam Blocks and Bovine Ribs.

Within the limitations of the study, average torque values were found to estimate physical bone density just as well as GVs from CBCT scans. In low-density bone, the assessment of mineral bone density was also found to possibly be more informative than GVs. Results of this study suggest that the micromotor may be presently regarded as a complementary tool to CBCT assessment of bone density and quality in the clinical setting.
