Materials and Methods: A dry human mandible was used, with standardized radiopaque markers placed on the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) of the buccal\u2013mesial and buccal\u2013distal aspects of teeth 34 and 43. CBCT scans were performed using four systems\u2014Veraview\u00ae X800, OP300 Pro\u00ae, I-CAT Next Generation\u00ae, and Orthophos XG\u00ae\u2014applying various combinations of field of view (FOV) and voxel resolution available in each device. Reference measurements were obtained in situ using a digital caliper. CBCT images were exported in DICOM format and analyzed with OnDemand3D software (version 4.6) to obtain paracoronal sections. Linear measurements from the CEJ to the alveolar crest were recorded in triplicate and compared to the gold standard using ANOVA and the Dunnett test (\u03b1 = 0.05). Results: Protocols with smaller voxel sizes and limited FOVs generally yielded measurements closer to the gold standard. However, some larger-FOV protocols with intermediate voxel sizes also achieved comparable accuracy. Among the systems, the I-CAT showed lower agreement within in situ measurements, while others demonstrated reliable performance depending on the acquisition parameters. Conclusions: The findings suggest that CBCT protocols with smaller voxel sizes and reduced FOVs can enhance measurement accuracy in periodontal bone assessments. Nevertheless, intermediate protocols may offer a balance between diagnostic quality and radiation exposure, aligning with the ALADA principle. This study reinforces the need for standardized acquisition parameters tailored to periodontal imaging.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/tomography11070074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,27]],"date-time":"2025-06-27T05:29:58Z","timestamp":1751002198000},"page":"74","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Voxel Size and Field of View Influence on Periodontal Bone Assessment Using Four CBCT Systems: An Experimental Ex Vivo Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-4894-0655","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vict\u00f3ria Geisa Brito","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnosis and Surgery, The Institute of Sciences and Technology of S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Campos 12247-014, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Polyane Mazucatto","family":"Queiroz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, Ing\u00e1 University Center, Maringa 87035-510, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandra Rocha","family":"Sim\u00f5es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HD Oral Radiology Center, S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o-Del-Rei 36305-170, MG, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M\u00f4nica Ghislaine Oliveira","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosciences and Oral Diagnosis, The Institute of Sciences and Technology of S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Campos 12247-014, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3229-8019","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Aparecida Neves","family":"Jardini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnosis and Surgery, The Institute of Sciences and Technology of S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Campos 12247-014, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4856-5417","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9 Luiz Ferreira","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Dentistry, Cruzeiro do Sul University (UNICSUL), S\u00e3o Paulo 01506-000, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0882-5862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00e9rgio Lucio Pereira de Castro","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnosis and Surgery, The Institute of Sciences and Technology of S\u00e3o Paulo State University (UNESP), S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Campos 12247-014, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1002\/JPER.18-0006","article-title":"Staging and grading of periodontitis: Framework and proposal of a new classification and case definition","volume":"89","author":"Tonetti","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
