Diagnosis of alveolar and root fractures: an in vitro study comparing CBCT imaging with periapical radiographs

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (2), 2017
Abstract Objective To compare periapical radiograph (PR) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the diagnosis of alveolar and root fractures. Material and Methods Sixty incisor teeth (20 higid and 40 with root fracture) from dogs were inserted in 60 anterior alveolar sockets (40 higid and 20 wit...

Evaluation of the rapid and slow maxillary expansion using cone-beam computed tomography: a randomized clinical trial

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the dental, dentoalveolar, and skeletal changes occurring right after the rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and slow maxillary expansion (SME) treatment using Haas-type expander. METHODS: All subjects performed cone-beam compu...

Comparison of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography and Intraoral Radiography in Detection of Recurrent Caries under Composite Restorations

Braz. dent. j; 28 (1), 2017
Abstract Secondary caries is the most common cause of dental restoration failures. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of conventional and digital intraoral radiography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for detection of recurrent caries around composite restorations. mesio-occluso-...

Foraminas acessórias da região anterior da maxila em tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico

Por meio do exame tridimensional de Tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) é possível avaliar a área de interesse previamente aos procedimentos com maior precisão. As variações anatômicas são estruturas que devem ser consideradas para a realização de cirurgias, como a foramina acess...

Evaluation of Damon system effects in alveolar bone support by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess changes in buccal bone thickness, buccolingual inclinations and transversal width of teeth during treatment with the Damon System. Material and Methods: Twenty-one patients of both sexes, with a mean initial age of 14.99 ± 1.27 years, with complete perma...

Cone-beam computed tomography evaluation of upper airway, dental arches dimensions and buccolingual inclination through of cases treated with Damon system

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess changes in upper airway, dental arches dimensions and buccolingual inclinations of teeth in patients treated orthodontically with the Damon system. Material and Methods: Twenty-one patients of both sexes, mean initial age of 14.99 ± 1.97 years, with comp...

Differential diagnosis and clinical management of periapical radiopaque/hyperdense jaw lesions

Abstract Great attention has been given to the study of radiolucent periapical lesions to avert possible misdiagnosis of apical periodontitis associated with certain radiolucent non-endodontic lesions. However, there are a significant number of radiopaque lesions found in the periapical region, which cou...

The implications of different lateral wall thicknesses on surgical access to the maxillary sinus

Abstract: The objective of this study was to measure the topographic thickness of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus in selected Asian populations. Measurements were made on the lateral walls of maxillary sinuses recorded using CBCT in a convenient sample of patients attending an Asian teaching hosp...

Prediction of rapid maxillary expansion by assessing the maturation of the midpalatal suture on cone beam CT

ABSTRACT Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) primarily involves the mechanical opening of the midpalatal suture of the maxillary and palatine bones. The fusion of the midpalatal suture determines the failure of RME, a common event in late adolescents and young adults. Recently, the assessment of the maturati...

Prevalence and morphometric analysis of three-rooted mandibular first molars in a Brazilian subpopulation

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT The knowledge of the internal anatomy of three-rooted mandibular molars may help clinicians to diagnose and plan the root canal treatment in order to provide adequate therapy when this variation is present. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of three-rooted mandibular molars in a Brazilian...
