Effect of head orientation on mandibular bone linear measurements in CBCT imaging
This study suggests that aligning the occlusal plane to the horizon results in more accurate CBCT-derived linear measurements of mandibular height and width compared to the mandibular plane orientation. Therefore, the occlusal plane may be the preferred reference for CBCT-based bone measurements.
