This paper aims to investigate the influence of normalization in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and multislice computed tomography (MSCT) grey level to assess bone quality of recipient sites for dental implants. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) images from 37 bone sites (18 patients) were analyzed. CBCT was performed with 5 different CBCT devices and MSCT in a single multislice CT scanner. Measurements of mean grey level were performed in two regions of interest; ROI1 - alveolar bone (cortical and trabecular) and ROI2 - cancellous bone separately with 3 tested forms: no normalization (RAW), normalization of the whole image (ALL) and normalization of the region of interest only (ROI). Descriptive analysis with coefficient of variation (CV) and one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey was performed. For MSCT, ROI1 mean grey level slightly increased from 121.9+-17.13 (RAW) to 125.0+-15.74 (ALL) (p>0.05) and reduced to 104.8+-15.20 (ROI) (p<0.0001). CV varied from 14.05%, to 12.59% and 14.50%, respectively. ROI2 increased from 95.11+-13.96 (RAW) to 99.40+-13.62 (ALL) and 102.5+-17.86 (ROI) (p=0.0678). CV was 14.67% to 13.71% and 17.43%, respectively. In CBCT group, ROI1 meaningfully raise from 91.73+-32.17 (RAW) to 135.2+-36.06 (ALL) and 118.7+-18.65 (ROI) (p<0.0001), with CV decreasing from 35.06% to 26.68% and 15.71%, respectively. ROI2 was 81.23+-34.36, 115.3+-28.53 and 109.4+-17.47, respectively (p=0.0002), with a CV reducing from 42.30% (RAW) to 24.74% (ALL) and 15.97% (ROI). Therefore, the use of intensity normalization of CBCT and MSCT examinations was demonstrated on reducing discrepancies between different scanners and inter-exams variability in bone quality assessment for dental implants.
