Metal in a patient's mouth has been shown to cause artefacts that can interfere with the diagnostic quality of cone beam CT. Recently, manufacturer made an algorithm and software available which reduces metal streak artefact (Picasso Master 3D® machine; Vatech, Hwaseong, Republic Korea).The purpose this investigation was determine whether or not reduction effective enhanced contrast-to-noise ratio.A phantom constructed incorporating three metallic beads epoxy resin-based bone substitutes...
Cone beam CT (CBCT) is used widely to depict root fracture (RF) in endodontically treated teeth. Beam hardening and other artefacts due gutta-percha may increase the time of diagnosis result an incorrect diagnosis. Two CBCT machines, ProMax(®) (Planmeca, Helsinki, Finland) Master 3D(®) (Vatech, Hwaseong, Republic Korea), have option applying artefact reduction (AR) algorithm. The aim this study was determine whether using AR algorithm two machines enhances accuracy detecting RFs teeth.66...
The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy limited-volume high-resolution cone beam CT (CBCT) in detection periodontal bone loss.163 simulated lesions different depths were created dried human hemimandibles. Specimens imaged using intraoral paralleling technique and CBCT (3DX Accuitomo; Morita Co. Ltd, Kyoto, Japan). Ten viewers examined images. Data analysed with receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis. ROC curves generated areas under maximum-likelihood (A(z)) compared....
An algorithm and software to reduce metal artefact has been developed recently is available in the Picasso Master 3D® (VATECH, Hwaseong, Republic of Korea), which under visual assessment produces better quality images than were obtainable previously. The objective this vitro study was investigate whether reduction (MAR) 3D machine reduced incidence artefacts increased contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) while maintaining same gray value when there no metallic body present within scanned volume.20...
Each of three cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) machines offer a small field view (FOV); Promax, Accuitomo 3D, and Kodak 9000. The objectives were to determine, when using FOV, the difference in contrast-to-noise ratios (CNR) images obtained from different scan settings within each machine. A phantom made dry mandible with an epoxy resin based substitute (ERBS) block was used. ERBS fixed lingual cortex posterior left mandible. Water used simulate soft tissue. Twenty scans acquired. CNR...
To date, limited evidence is available specifically evaluating ridge preservation (RP) and implant placement in molar sites. The primary aim of this study to radiographically compare alveolar changes with without RP cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).This parallel, two-arm randomized clinical trial included 40 patients evenly distributed between two treatment groups. After extraction, sites were allowed heal naturally or received freeze-dried bone allograft covered by a non-resorbable...
Aim: To evaluate the influence of kilovoltage (kVp) and metal artifact reduction tool (MAR) on magnitude cone beam CT (CBCT) artifacts. Methods: A titanium zirconia implants were inserted alternately in a posterior region mandible. CBCT exams acquired with ProMax 3D (Planmeca Oy, Helsinki, Finland) Picasso Trio machines (Vatech, Hwaseong, South Korea) using 70 kVp, 80 kVp 90 without MAR activation. The other exposure factors remained fixed at 5mA, field view × 50 mm voxel 0.20 mm. scans...
To evaluate the magnitude of artifacts related to titanium and zirconium implants at different distances angulations their impact on cone beam CT(CBCT) image quality.CBCT images were obtained before after insertion in a mandible CBCT units: Picasso Trio, ProMax 3D Accuitomo 80. Artifact was assessed by measuring standard deviation (SD) gray values contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) 11 regions interest (ROIs) (1.5 cm, 2.5 cm 3.5 cm) (65°, 90°, 115° 140°) from implant region.For images, SD did not...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) digital intraoral radiography in diagnosing simulated small external root resorption cavities.Cavities were drilled 159 roots using a spherical bur at different levels on all surfaces. teeth imaged both with image plates CBCT. Two sets images acquired per tooth: orthogonal (PA) which conventional periapical radiograph mesioangulated (SET). Four readers asked rate their confidence level...
Two-dimensional intraoral radiography is the most common tool for diagnosing root fractures (RFs). Cone beam CT (CBCT) widely used to depict RFs in endodontically treated teeth. Beam hardening and other artefacts caused by gutta percha may result an incorrect diagnosis when using CBCT only. A comparison of two machines with photostimulated phosphor (PSP) plate images enhanced equalization was carried out detect teeth.66 roots were collected, decoronated same technique percha. 33 these...
The purpose of this study was to compare extraoral panoramic bitewings (BWs) intraoral photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plate BWs for the detection proximal surface caries and establish if there any difference between BWs, radiographs in visualizing open posterior interproximal contacts.Extraoral BW images were acquired on each 20 patients, resulting 489 total non-restored, readable surfaces that evaluated by 4 observers. ANOVA analysis determine diagnostic variability within subject utilized....
The objective of this study was to develop a new practical method reconstruct high-quality panoramic image in which radiographers would be free from the onerous task correctly locating patient's jaws within layer unit. In addition, dentists able freely select any plane reconstructed after acquisition raw scan data. A high-speed data device used with CdTe (cadmium telluride) semiconductor detector and sophisticated digital signal-processing technique based on tomosynthesis developed. system...
Buccal plate thickness is of clinical importance in treatment planning for implants. The purpose this study was to evaluate the buccal posterior dentate areas both maxilla and mandible using cone beam computed tomography order estimate approximate distributions anatomic variable.Two hundred sixty-five subjects were included a total nine thirty-four roots assessed by tomography. CBCT scans taken evaluated at ideal buccolingual cross-sections each root 1 mm, 3 5 mm apical alveolar crest...
Behrents KT, Speer ML, Noujeim M . Sodium hypochlorite accident with evaluation by cone beam computed tomography. International Endodontic Journal , 45 492–498, 2012. Abstract Aim To show the radiographic manifestation of sodium after accidental injection past apical foramen and into soft tissues. Summary A female patient was seen for an emergency visit suffering a at her general dentist’s office. The within 1 h in pain associated facial swelling. Radiographs, including Cone Beam Computed...
