Objective: This study aimed to evaluate radiologic changes in patients with temporomandibular joint hypermobility using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Methods: This retrospective study included the first-visit CBCT images of 41 patients (mean age, 32.83 ± 13.63 years) treated for TMJ hypermobility. CBCT images of sixty-eight joints with TMJ hypermobility taken by using NewTom 3G were evaluated. Condylar erosion, sclerosis, hypoplasia, and flattening were assessed on the CBCT images. In addition, flattening of articular eminence, subchondral cyst, and pneumatization were also evaluated in the images. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the data. Results: Degenerations were observed in 47 joints (%69.11). Condylar erosion was the most common finding of TMJ hypermobility (43 of 68 joints, 63.2%). Other frequent condylar bony changes were condylar osteophyte (32 joints, 47.1%), sclerosis (8 joints, 11.8%), hypoplasia (8 joints, 11.8%), and flattening (6 joints, 8.8%). The flattening of articular eminence (3 joints, 4.4%) and subchondral cyst (3 joints, 4.4%)), and) were other findings on CBCT images. One joint showed a bifid condyle and pneumatization (1.5 %) (Table 1). Conclusion: The present study showed that two of three patients with TMJ hypermobility had joint degenerations. Condylar erosion and osteophyte are the most common degenerations observed in these patients. Therefore, CBCT is recommended for the diagnosis and management of TMJ hypermobility.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı bir grup çocuk ve ergen hastada teşhis edilen gömülü süpernümerer dişlerin karakteristiğini konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi (KIBT) ile incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Pedodontik muayene sonrası teşhis ya da tedavi nedeniyle KIBT görüntüleri alınmış 6-17 yaş aralığındaki hastalar çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Görüntülerde saptanan süpernümerer dişler Ağız Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Uzmanı tarafından üç boyutlu olarak incelenmiştir. Hastaların demografik özellikleri kaydedilmiştir. Süpernümerer diş pozisyonu, lokalizasyonu, şekli ve süpernümerer dişlerin neden olduğu komplikasyonlar değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: 116’sı (%56,9) erkek, 88’i (%43,1) kız toplam 204 çocuğun 338 KIBT sonucu incelenmiştir. Çocukların yaş ortalaması 10.69±2,65’tir. İncelenen 204 çocuğun 91’ inde (%44,6) toplam 123 adet gömülü süpernümerer diş teşhis edilmiştir. 60 (%66) çocukta sadece tek bir gömülü süpernümerer diş gözlenirken 31 (%34) çocukta 2 ya da daha fazla sayıda süpernümerer diş saptanmıştır. Süpernümerer dişlerin çoğu üst ön bölgede (%82,1) görülmüş ve %69,1’i palatinalde yer almıştır. Sonuç: KIBT, süpernümerer dişlerin konumu, komşu anatomik yapıları ve lokal komplikasyonları hakkında 2 boyutlu görüntüleme tekniklerine göre daha detaylı bilgi sağlayarak cerrahi işlem sırasında meydana gelebilecek komplikasyonları önlemeye yardımcı olmaktadır. İlerleyen dönemlerde ortodontik problemlere yol açmaması amacıyla, özellikle çocuk hastalarda süpernümerer dişlerle ilişkili komplikasyonların önlenebilmesi için erken teşhis ve uygun tedavi planlaması yapılması çok önemlidir.

Objective: The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the impact of the quality of root canal treatment versus the quality of coronal restoration on periapical health. Materials and Method: A literature review was conducted using the search terms “endodontics”, “periapical index”, “periapical status”, “quality of root canal treatment”, “root treatment”, “root canal treatment”, “coronal restoration”, “quality of root canal treatment”, “cone beam computed tomography”, and “restoration”. The studies evaluating the effect of the quality of root canal filling and the quality of coronal restoration on periapical tissues were selected. Data were collected by two researchers according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The ratio of teeth with apical periodontitis was recorded for each category: adequate root canal treatment (AC), inadequate root canal treatment (IC), adequate restoration (AR), and inadequate restoration (IR). The data were analyzed using meta-analysis for odds ratios. The significance level was set at α=0.05. Results: There were statistically significant differences between AC-IR and AC-AR [p=0.02 and OR=1.88, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13-3.13], between IC-AR and AC-AR [p=0.006 and OR=3.23 (1.41-7.39)], between IC-IR and AC-AR [p

Objective: To determine the potential of the anatomical location of unilaterally impacted maxillary canine on panoramic radiographs that cause resorption of the adjacent lateral root. Material-Method: This study was carried out on the panoramic radiographs of 47 patients, with a unilateral maxillary impacted canine tooth with a mean age of 23.81±6.59 years. In the CBCT recordings, the resorption of the lateral tooth, adjacent to the impacted maxillary canine was determined. The study material was divided into two groups as resorbed and healthy lateral tooth. On panoramic radiographs, the anatomical position of the impacted maxillary canine of a total of 47 individuals, was evaluated using the methods; sector determination, vertical position of the canine crown, angle of the impacted maxillary canine to the occlusal plane, canine follicle width measurement. Results: Compared to the group with healthy adjacent laterals, the occlusal plane angle of the impacted canine of the individuals with resorbed lateral tooth was higher (p<0.001) and the follicle width was lower (p=0.008). In the individual with resorbed lateral tooth, the angle of the impacted canine tooth to occlusal plane (p=0.001) revealed a significant difference. In the group of patients with resorbed lateral tooth, a significant positive correlation was observed for age and occlusal angle (r=0.449; p=0.028); A significant negative correlation was observed with follicle width (r=0.529; p=0.008). Conclusion: With panoramic radiographs, impacted maxillary canine and its potential for resorption of adjacent lateral tooth can be determined by measuring the occlusal plane angle and follicle width of the impacted canine.

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of knowledge and attitudes about digital radiography and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) of Marmara University 4th and 5th grade students as a result of their education.Methods: In our study, a questionnaire consisting of 16 questions was applied to 100 4th and 100 5th grade students totally 200 students who are educated in Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry. Besides the knowledge level of the students, their attitudes were evaluated.Results: In our study, there was statistically significant difference between the responses given to “What source or sources do you know about CBCT?”, “How much do you think CBCT will be used in routine dental practice in the near future?”, “In which cases do you prefer to use CBCT in your future clinical life?”, “Would you prefer to use CBCT in your future professional clinical life?”, “According to you, in what year of dental training should CBCT be taught?” between 4th and 5th grade students (p

Background: Rosenmuller fossa (RF) is known as a lateral pharyngeal recess, is bilaterally located beneath the skull base and behind the torus tubarius. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is most commonly located in the RF. The purpose of this study is to evaluation of RF with cone beam computed tomography Methods: A total of 150 subjects (80 females, 70 males, 6-88 years) were included in the study. Subjects were divided into age groups (6- 20 years, 21-30 years, 31-40 years, 41-50 years, 51-60 years, over 60 years) and gender. Result: There is no statistically significant difference between class (RF type) and gender (p = 0.086). There is a statistically significant association between the categories of age group and class variables (p = 0.015). RF type 1 was more common in the 6-20 age and 21-30 age groups, whereas RF type 3 was more common in the 41-50 age and 51-60 age groups. Conclusion: When the literature was investigated, it was not found a study evaluating RF with cone beam computed tomography. When considering clinical significance, RF should be searched and examined in larger populations. KEYWORDS Cone beam computed tomography, Rosenmuller Fossa, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Aim: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence, height and location of maxillary sinus septa in patients with a dentate and an edentulous maxilla using cone beam computed tomography imaging. Patients and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on a retrospective evaluation of cone beam computed tomography images of 1322 maxillary sinus with 661 subjects from January 2016 to February 2018. The study consisted of 1322 maxillary sinuses: 1092 from patients with a dentate and 230 from patients with an edentulous maxilla. Results: The mean age of the 661 patients (373 women, 288 men) was 42.1 ± 18.2 years. A total of 468 (35.4%) septa was recorded in 1322 maxillary sinuses with a mean height was 7.95 ± 4.03 mm. Of 468 sinus septa, the majority was located in the posterior region of the maxillary sinus. Of these, 121 (25.8%) were in the anterior, 140 (29.9%) were in the middle and 207 (44.2%) were in the posterior region. Regarding the status of the dentition in the maxilla in relation to the distribution of sinus septa, septa were present in 387 (35.4%) dentate and in 81 (35.2%) edentulous reg ions. Conclusion: The prevalence of septa is high in all parts of the maxillary sinus. For this reason, comprehensive evaluation should be performed with an appropriate radiographic technique to prevent possible complications during sinus surgery . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The diagnosis of periodontal diseases in dentistry is based primarily on conventional two-dimensional imaging methods. However, conventional imaging methods have disadvantages such as geometric distortion and anatomic masking resulting from the reduction of three-dimensional structures to two dimensions. These disadvantages have been eliminated by cone beam computed tomography, which are frequently used in current dentistry, allowing to obtain three-dimensional images. Cone beam computed tomography is a valuable imaging technique, particularly for the detection of intrabony defects, furcation involvement and buccal/lingual bone destruction. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of cone beam computed tomography compared to conventional methods in periodontal diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: Pneumatization of maxillary sinus at maxillary posterior region, alveolar bone tendency to resorption together with increasing of age and insufficient bone density cause various difficulties in dental implant placement. Whether implant will be put or not simultaneously together with sinus lifting process at atrophic maxillary depends on the factors as the quality of the bone, the residual bone height and the primer stability. The aim of this study is to assess the relation between sinus floor cortication and antral pathology and to assess the frequency of sinus floor cortication types on cone beam computed tomography images. Material and Method: The study group consists of a total of 150 persons, 64 males and 86 females, that an average age is 48.63 years. CBCT images that consist of right and left maxillary sinuses have been examined. Antral pathologies and sinus floor cortications were compared with statistical chi-square analysis method. Results: According to the sinus floor cortication classification, it was stated that among maxillary sinuses Type 1was present in 158 sinuses, Type 2 was present in 60 sinuses, Type 3 was present in 22 sinuses and Type 4 was present in 60 sinuses. There was statistically significant relation between antral pathology and sinus floor cortication (p<0.05). Conclusion: This classification that is based on the degree of the sinus floor cortication is valuable in order to evaluate whether SAP (lateral window technique or transcrestal approach) is clinically necessary or not and to help clinician in the suitability statement of implant placement and sinus lifting process, simultaneously.
