Hounsfield unit (HU) provides a quantitative evaluation of bone density. The assessment of bone density is essential for successful treatment plan. Although, multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is considered as gold standard in evaluating bone density, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is frequently used in dentomaxillofacial imaging due to lower radiation dose, less complex device, and images with satisfactory resolution.
