Cone beam CT (CBCT) for dentomaxillofacial paediatric assessment has been widely used despite the uncertainties of risks low-dose radiation exposures. The aim this work was to investigate clinical performance different CBCT acquisition protocols towards optimization Custom-made anthropomorphic phantoms were scanned using a unit in six protocols. slices blinded, randomized and presented three observers, who scored image quality 4-point scale along with their level confidence. Sharpness also...
An increasing number of CBCT units and a wide variability radiation doses have been reported in dentistry lately.To estimate the effective, cumulative, organ absorbed children exposed to over 2 years.A prospective study was conducted who underwent diagnostic imaging with ProMax3D machine. Organ effective were calculated by Monte Carlo simulation using 5- 8-year-old pediatric voxel phantoms. Extrapolation procedures applied for other ages protocols used clinical conditions.The median dose...
To asses, by using the Cone Beam CT (CBCT) reformatted images, presence of anatomical variants sinonasal cavities and to determine correlation these variations with onset maxillary sinus inflammations.The study is a retrospective one consists investigation 130 patients CBCT imaging, that were referred Maxillo-Facial Clinic, Radiology Department Iuliu Hatieganu University Medicine Pharmacy in Cluj-Napoca, for clinical symptoms sinusitis within period 24 months. The images analyzed different...
Abstract Assessing the possible biological effects of exposure to low doses ionizing radiation (IR) is one prime challenges in protection, especially medical imaging. Today, radiobiological data on cone beam CT (CBCT) related are scarce. In children and adults, induction DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) buccal mucosa cells 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) antioxidant capacity saliva samples after CBCT examination were examined. No DSBs was observed nor adults. only, an increase...
This study aims at evaluating the reliability on specific multi-planar cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) reconstruction in orbital floor fractures.
This study aimed at presenting a retrospective longitudinal analysis of the pediatric jaw lesions treated Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, over timeframe ten years (2012 to 2022). The clinical radiological characteristics jawbone lesions, treatment outcome, recurrence incidence were described. All consecutive patients aged below 18 years, with histologically diagnosed odontogenic tumors (OTs), nonodontogenic (non-OTs), or cysts (OCs) included. Age, dentition...
This study aimed at evaluating the mandibular condyle position changes before and after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in class II III malocclusion patients. CBCT scans from patients who underwent were analyzed: Le Fort I osteotomy bilateral sagittal split (BSSO). Both condyles independently assessed for their largest anterior posterior joint spaces, smallest medial angles concerning transverse line. In plane, minimum size of spaces was measured. coronal space The within glenoid fossa...
Occlusal splints are used as a non-invasive treatment for patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Another option TMD is kinesiotherapy, which may be alone or in conjunction occlusal splint therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes intra-articular spaces joint (TMJ) after therapy combined cranio-temporomandibular kinesiotherapy patients. Twenty-four (N = 24) according Research Diagnostic Criteria Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) were included. Cone...
Purpose: To establish the correlations between ultrasound (US) BI-RADS classification and Ueno-Itoh elastography score when assessing breast lesions.
Background: This study aimed at identifying errors encountered in orthopantomography (OPG) post-traumatic patients caused by limitations performing a correct technique. Methods: A retrospective observational was performed. Diagnosis, exposure/processing mistakes, positioning-related errors, and bimaxillary immobilization were evaluated. Results: Thirty panoramic radiographs with mandible fractures examined. Twelve error types encountered: exposure or processing, air radiolucency the...
Abstract The aim of this paper is to provide an innovative approach develop novel three-dimensional models the paranasal sinuses in order increase surgical efficiency oral and sinus surgery. anatomic are made from materials with special mechanical properties that mimic real human structures. can be used for pre-planning training functional endoscopic data CBCT (Cone beam computed tomography) scan was exported as STL (stereolithography) file then processed 3D printing. A two-stage used,...
Background and Objectives: This research was aimed at constructing a complete automated temporomandibular joint disc position identification system that could assist with magnetic resonance imaging displacement diagnosis on oblique sagittal coronal images. Materials Methods: The study included fifty subjects scans of the joint. Oblique sections were analyzed. Investigations performed right left images closed mouth, as well open mouths. Three hundred employed to train artificial intelligence...
This study aimed to provide a complex analysis of the modifications in craniofacial skeleton development that may arise following diagnosis pediatric benign jaw tumors. A prospective was undertaken involving 53 patients younger than 18 years age, who presented for treatment at Department Maxillo-Facial Surgery, University Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca, with primary lesion between 2012 2022. total 28 odontogenic cysts (OCs), 14 tumors (OTs), 11 non-OTs were identified. At follow-up,...
