Dental studies evaluating μCT output often examine resolution as a parameter that affects the data, but many other factors can influence image quality. The objective of this paper is to present the issues involved with the optimization of μCT data acquisition and processing for two biomechanical animal models. The first model evaluates surface and volumetric changes in root structure afterin vitrofatigue loading of dog incisors. The second evaluates thein vivomorphometric bone and tooth responses to application of orthodontic force in inbred and transgenic mice. This type of data required specific magnification and noise control μCT settings to segment and render objects with acceptable definition. The proposed procedures enabled high definition rendering of changes in tooth and bone morphology in orthodontic studies. They also allowed for the construction of solid models for finite element analyses.
