Changes in dimension of neurovascular canals in the mandible and maxilla: A radiographic finding in patients diagnosed with MRONJ.
2017
Background The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the morphological features of neurovascular canals and foramina of patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) and healthy individuals by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and Methods The CBCT images of 58 patients under bisphosphonate therapy diagnosed with MRONJ and age gender- matched controls were retrospectively evaluated. The diameter of mandibular and nasopalatine canal and mandibular, mental and lingual foramina were measured on several sections of CBCT. The value of mental index (MI) and panoramic mandibular index (PMI) were also assessed. Results The mean value of diametric meas…
Wilson maxillary curve analyzed by cbct a study on normocclusion and malocclusion individuals
2013
The anatomy of dental compensation curve in the frontal plane described by George H. Wilson is one of the occlusal determinants of orthodontic treatment. However, there is few published comparing malocclusion and normocclusion individuals. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the curve of Wilson at first and second maxillary molars, normocclusion pattern and malocclusion pattern, with and without bilateral posterior crossbite, using angular references in CBCT studies. Material and Methods: We analyzed 10 cases of malocclusion with bilateral posterior crossbite, 10 cases of malocclusion without bilateral posterior crossbite and 10 cases with non orthodontic normocclusion (patients…
Classification of impacted mandibular third molars on cone-beam CT images
2014
Background: Neurological involvement is a serious complication associated to the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars and the radiological investigation is the first mandatory step to assess the risk of a possible post-operative injury to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). The aim of this study was to introduce a new radiological classification that could be normally used in clinical practice to assess the relationship between an impacted third molar and mandibular canal on cone beam CT (CBCT) images. Material and Methods: CBCT images of 80 patients (133 mandibular third molars) were independently studied by three members of the surgical team to draw a classification that co…
Effect of antibiotic prophylaxis for preventing infectious complications following impacted mandibular third molar surgery. A randomized controlled t…
2021
Background The objective of this study was to determine the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing postoperative infections after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. Material and Methods A Parallel-group, randomized, blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed. 154 patients were randomly allocated to 2 groups; experimental (n=77) receiving 2g amoxicillin 1 hour prior to surgery and control (n=77) receiving placebo. Primary outcome was postoperative infections and secondary outcome was the need for rescue analgesia. Results 4.5% of patients developed postoperative infections, five patients of the control group (4 alveolar osteitis, 1 surgical site infection) and two of …
Immediate three-dimensional changes in the oropharynx after different mandibular advancements in counterclockwise rotation orthognathic planning
2021
Background A retrospective cohort study was performed to evaluate the immediate effect on the oropharynx dimensions from different mandibular advancements in patients undergone counterclockwise rotation (CCW) of the maxillomandibular complex. Material and Methods 138 CBCT images of patients, who had undergone orthognathic surgery, were identified from Dolphin Imaging archive according to pre- (T0) and post-operative (T1) times. Each pre-operative CBCT image was selected considering retrognathic mandible. Superimpositions of CBCT images were performed to measure mandibular advancement at B point in millimeters (mm) and divided into three groups: G1 ( 10 mm). For evaluating oropharynx dimensi…
Relación entre la incidencia de asimetrías mandibulares y la clase esquelética y patrón facial del paciente medida sobre Cone Beam Computed Tomograph…
2019
Introducción: El propósito de este estudio fue establecer si existe una relación entre la presencia de asimetrías mandibulares y la maloclusión esquelética o patrón facial del paciente. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo comparativo. Se analizaron imágenes de tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (CBCT) de 60 sujetos del Departamento de Ortodoncia de la Universidad de Valencia (34 mujeres, 26 hombres; edad media, 32,7 ± 11,6 años). Las exploraciones CBCT se dividieron en 3 grupos (pacientes con Clase I, Clase II y Clase III esquelética) y se determinó el patrón facial de cada paciente. Utilizando dos programas informáticos (ITK-SNAP y 3DSlicer), se realizó la segment…
Determination of Cochlear Duct Length With 3D Versus Two-dimensional Methods: A Retrospective Clinical Study of Imaging by Computed Tomography and Co…
2021
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare three different methods for measurement of cochlear duct length (CDL) in the clinical setting for two different imaging modalities, namely computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred temporal bone data sets (CT: n=50; CBCT: n=50) of non-malformed cochleae were retrospectively analyzed using three different CDL estimation techniques: 3D curved multiplanar reconstruction (cMPR), 2D cMPR and the A-value formula. RESULTS The data sets belonged to 60 patients (34 males, 26 females; mean age=50.28±18.58 years). For both imaging modalities, application of the 3D cMPR estimation technique led to …
Metodi automatici di analisi e caratterizzazione di esami radiologici del massiccio facciale.
L'obiettivo di questo lavoro è lo sviluppo di algoritmi e procedure di analisi di referti radiografici digitali di tipo CBCT delle strutture della mandibola e dell’apparato dentario. In particolare, mediante un’opportuna campagna di sperimentazione, in collaborazione con i reparti di radiologia ed odontoiatria del Policlinico di Palermo, è stata realizzata un procedura in grado di: • eliminare i problemi di sovrapponibilità dei referti tridimensionali effettuati in tempi successivi; • identificare lo spazio parodontale su indagini CBCT per la valutazione dei possibili difetti nello stesso e prevedere l’insorgenza di parodontiti. • individuare gli elementi di maggiore interesse medico caratt…
Prevalencia de alteraciones en el patrón del sistema de conductos radiculares de los molares mandibulares
2018
La Endodoncia engloba la descripción del órgano pulpar y sus estructuras adyacentes en un estado de salud y normalidad, y el estudio de las enfermedades que les aquejan. Estos con el propósito de eliminar los factores etiológicos causantes del daño pulpar, para conseguir un ambiente dentro del sistema de conductos que permita la curación de los tejidos de soporte y garantice su salud en el largo plazo. Entre las principales razones del fracaso endodóntico encontramos la presencia de conductos sin tratar debido a no haber sido localizados y limpiados adecuadamente. Por esto es fundamental un conocimiento exhaustivo de la morfología del sistema de conductos y las posibles alteraciones que pue…
Estudio comparativo de la fiabilidad y reproducibilidad en la medición de los tamaños dentarios y las medidas de la arcada dentaria entre la tomograf…
2011
La tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (CBCT) ha supuesto un gran cambio en el diagnóstico ortodóncico ya que nos proporciona información de las estructuras orofaciales en las tres direcciones del espacio, a diferencia de la radiografía convencional. A partir del CBCT podemos obtener modelos tridimensionales que reproducen tridimensionalmente la dentición del paciente, pudiendo realizar mediciones que antes realizábamos sobre los modelos de estudio. Estos nuevos modelos nos permiten realizar mediciones en dientes impactados o que no han hecho erupción, así como valorar las inclinaciones radiculares de todos los dientes. Pero para poder hacer uso de estos nuevos modelos de estudio, será n…
