| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
NaF Positron Emission Tomography (PET) can identify subtle functional variation prior to the major structural change detectable by X-ray. NaF-PET/CT scan was performed to examine the change of bone metabolism in the residual ridge underneath denture before and after the RPD treatment. The resultant mechanobiological response was analyzed using a 3D finite element (FE) model derived from the computerized tomography (CT) images of a corresponding patient under the occlusal loading. Mechanobiological stimulus determined from the FEA are quantified and compared with the standardized uptake values (SUV) of PET.
The increased application of occlusal force after RPD insertion induced higher mechanical stimuli in the residual bone, and SUV increased in the region of residual ridge with higher mechanical stimuli. SUV had clear correlation with mechanical stimulus in the cancellous bone, especially after RPD insertion (R2 > 0.8, p < 0.01).
