To assess the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in periimplant fenestration and dehiscence detection, and to determine the effects of 2 voxel sizes and scan modes.One hundred titanium implants were placed in bovine ribs in which periimplant fenestration and dehiscence were simulated. CBCT images were acquired with the use of 3 protocols of the i-CAT NG unit: A) 0.2 mm voxel size half-scan (180°); B) 0.2 mm voxel size full-scan (360°); and C) 0.12 mm voxel size full scan (360°). Receiver operating characteristic curves and diagnostic values were obtained. The Az values were compared with the use of analysis of variance.The Az value for dehiscence in protocol A was significantly lower than those of B or C (P < .01). They did not statistically differ for fenestration (P > .05).Protocol B yielded the highest values. The voxel sizes did not affect fenestration and dehiscence detection, and for dehiscence full-scan performed better than half-scan.
