The identification of the mandibular canal (MC) is an important prerequisite for surgical procedures involving posterior mandible. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) represents advance in imaging technology, but distinguishing MC from surrounding structures may remain a delicate task. OBJECTIVES: aim this study was to assess visibility different regions on CBCT cross-sectional images. MATERIAL AND METHODS: images 58 patients (116 hemi-mandibles) were analyzed, and assessed. RESULTS:...
Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence apical periodontitis (AP) detected in cone beam CT (CBCT) images from a database. Methods CBCT 300 Brazilian patients were assessed. AP measured three dimensions. Age, gender, number and location total teeth each patient considered. considered according tooth groups. extent determined by largest diameter any Percentages χ2 test used for statistical analysis. Results found 51.4% 3.4% teeth. Higher 60- 69-year-olds (73.1%)...
The aim of this study was to identify the type and frequency incidental findings (IFs) in maxillofacial region CBCT scans with different sizes field view (FOV), clinical relevance classified as requirement or not monitoring, treatment referral a specialist.We analyzed 150 examinations, divided according size FOV into 3 groups: 6-cm maxilla, mandible 13-cm maxilla/mandible. IFs were categorized six areas: airway, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), bone, lesions jaws, teeth soft-tissue...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate morphological characteristics teeth with hypercementosis that are relevant endodontic practice. Twenty-eight extracted had their root apexes analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). were divided according tooth groups and type hypercementosis. following aspects examined under SEM: the contour regularity surface; presence resorption; number apical foramina, diameter main foramen. progression club shape directly associated foramina foramen...
Objective: To determine how the diagnosis may or not be influenced by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), comparing diagnostic hypotheses obtained using images of panoramic radiographs and CBCT in cases ameloblastoma, odontogenic keratocyst, dentigerous cyst. Study Design: Five were selected for each lesion. Panoramic scans analyzed 15 dentists formulation hypotheses. Two observers performed analyses measurement qualitative quantitative features lesions evaluated CBCT. Results: There was...
Panoramic radiographs are routinely employed for surgical planning of unerupted third molars. The objective this study was to evaluate distortions in the position mandibular molars on panoramic radiographs.Panoramic 14 patients with indication extraction were used. Transurgical impressions crowns teeth be extracted and adjacent second (n=19) achieved addition silicone poured type IV plaster comparison inclinations casts.There a mean difference -5.37 degrees between molar radiograph cast...
To evaluate the lateral lingual foramen (LLF), an aperture located in posterior mandible area, through cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.To LLF presence 100 CBCT images. Presence of was compared between sex and age. Width height were determined distance from to mental (LLF-MF) that lower border (LLF-LBM) obtained.LLF observed 39% examinations 52 found most prevalent area occurrence at second premolar area. The mean width 1.26 ± 0.57 mm 1.82 1.12 mm. values LLF-MF LLF-LBM distances...
Background: To evaluate the impact of oral health on quality life (QOL) individuals undergoing cancer treatment at time diagnosis medication-related osteonecrosis jaw (MRONJ).Material and Methods: The present cross-sectional study analyzed patients with MRONJ from 2013 to 2019.The collected data included demographic data, base disease, medications associated MRONJ, route administration use, signs, symptoms, tomographic features acute staging according American Association Oral maxillofacial...
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of upper cervical vertebrae anomalies in patients with isolated cleft lip, palate, and complete lip as well to compare these between groups, genders, noncleft patients. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study randomly selected Setting: Radiology Section, Hospital for Rehabilitation Craniofacial Anomalies Department Orthodontics, Bauru School Dentistry, University São Paulo, Brazil. Participants: The sample comprised 300 lateral cephalograms...
The aim of this study was to identify the shape and route bony canal posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) nerve (PSAN) using different identification methods, including computed tomography (CT), panoramic radiograph, macroscopic evaluation (corpse dry skull). Twenty-four patients were analyzed by CT anterior (PA) radiographs; additionally, 90 skulls 21 dissected anatomical specimens examined. Three-dimensional-CT revealed that lateral wall maxillary sinus resembled a tunnel format in...
Sturge-Weber syndrome is a nonhereditary congenital condition characterized by leptomeningeal and facial skin angiomatous malformation following the trigeminal nerve path. The intraoral angiomatosis are presented in 40% of cases results an important periodontal alteration, increasing risk bleeding during dental procedures. A 43-year-old male patient with port wine stain on right side face, entire hard soft palates, alveolar ridge, buccal mucosa, had excessive accumulation calcified masses...
Abstract The primary aim of this paper is to present clinical and radiographic aspects odontogenic myxomas diagnosed at the Stomatology Clinic Bauru School Dentistry, University São Paulo, Brazil compare them with data reported in a series published literature. A second objective report case myxoma 9-year-old patient whom lesion involved anterior region maxilla. Dental records between 1975 2000 were reviewed seven cases as found individuals aged from nine 60 years. Of these, four occurred...
