Marsupialization is frequently performed for dentigerous cysts of the jaw. This study investigated whether a computerized digital measurement system is effective for quantitative analysis of bone regeneration in the cyst cavity after marsupialization. X-ray films were routinely taken and each radiograph was converted into a digitized image using a TV camera and C・IMAGING 1280 Image Analysis. Of the three cases of jaw cysts, the system could provide a quantitative assessment of bone formation and mineralization in two cases and finding were correlatied with clinical manifestations. However, hazard shadows interfered with accurate assessment of a jaw cyst in the mandibular ramus. From these results, we concluded that this system has the potential to increase the prognostic yield of radiography in evaluating bone regeneration in marsupialized cyst cavities, and requires only standardized radiographs without hazard shadows in the area of interest.
