Discussion

Ex-vivo study evaluates soft tissue simulators using CBCT imaging with sheep's head as benchmark.

Bread dough showed the highest correlation with the mandible in soft tissue simulation, reaching r = 0.944.
Play dough ranked highest in the maxilla evaluation, where its correlation also reached r = 0.879.
Ballistic gel demonstrated strong performance in simulating gray values from teeth and bone, with correlations of r = 0.762 and r = 0.638.
High correlations existed between different protocols for simulation models, indicating consistency in results.

Çimen et al. (2025) studied this question.
