Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There remains a discord among orthodontists regarding the usefulness of a lateral cephalogram radiograph as a part of diagnostic records for treatment planning. Today, orthodontists take diagnostic lateral cephalograms largely based on a personal preference, rather than following any evidence-based approached for determining whether taking the radiograph will affect treatment planning. The aim of this study is to identify patients with the type of malocclusion for which the availability of a lateral cephalogram radiograph will affect the treatment plan. This would prevent patients, whose treatment plan would not benefit from a diagnostic lateral cephalogram, from receiving unnecessary ionizing radiation. The data for this study was obtained from responses to two questionnaires, mailed five weeks apart, to ten orthodontists with clinical experience. Primarily, the orthodontists were required to treatment plan twenty cases, twice, once with full diagnostic records including a lateral cephalogram radiograph and once without. Six orthodontists completed both questionnaires. Based on the data, it was found that for approximately 25% of patients having a lateral cephalogram radiograph does affect treatment planning. These patients present with bilateral, sagittal dental malocclusions, matching significant soft-tissue profile disharmony and at least one arch with a moderate arch length discrepancy. A larger, follow-up study is suggested to further investigate the relationship between malocclusion, lateral cephalogram radiographs, and treatment planning.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Controversy exists over the value of a lateral cephalogram for treatment planning in different malocclusion types. Discord has been found in the literature, and no studies on the matter have focused solely on Class I dental malocclusions. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether treatment decisions of extraction or non-extraction and the perceived need for a lateral cephalogram would change depending on whether a lateral cephalogram was provided or eliminated in the patient record set. Methods: A survey was distributed to a random sample of AAO members. The survey consisted of four different patient record sets, each with a Class I dental malocclusion. Each record set had two versions-one with the lateral cephalogram and one without. The survey had randomization of each version of the record sets so that each record set would be viewed an equal number of times with and without its corresponding cephalogram. Subjects were then asked a series of four questions pertaining to each case: was a cephalogram necessary for treatment planning, treatment of extraction versus non-extraction, retention method, and if records were adequate to treatment plan. Results: In total, 79 orthodontists completed the survey. For all cases combined, record sets viewed with the lateral cephalogram had an increase in the: perceived need for a lateral cephalogram, decision of extraction, and opinion of the records being adequate to treatment plan. All were statistically significant at P ≤ 0.001. For each record set, the difference in perceived need for a lateral cephalogram was statically significant. Conclusions: The use of a lateral cephalogram for diagnosing and treatment planning seems to hold value in Class I dental malocclusions, justifying radiation exposure for this diagnostic record. Additionally, the perceived need for a lateral cephalogram is greater when it is presented with the record sets, demonstrating the diagnostic value this radiograph holds.

Download or read book Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Orthodontics written by Sunil D. Kapila and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its introduction to dentistry, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has undergone a rapid evolution and considerable integration into orthodontics. However, despite the increasing popularity of CBCT and progress in applying it to clinical orthodontics, the profession has lacked a cohesive, comprehensive and objective reference that provides clinicians with the background needed to utilize this technology optimally for treating their patients. Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Orthodontics provides timely, impartial, and state-of-the-art information on the indications and protocols for CBCT imaging in orthodontics, clinical insights gained from these images, and innovations driven by these insights. As such, it is the most current and authoritative textbook on CBCT in orthodontics. Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Orthodontics is organized to progress sequentially through specific topics so as to build the knowledgebase logically in this important and rapidly evolving field. Part I provides the foundational information on CBCT technology, including radiation exposure and risks, and future evolutions in computed tomography. Part II presents the Principles and Protocols for CBCT Imaging in Orthodontics, focusing on developing evidence-based criteria for CBCT imaging, the medico-legal implications of CBCT to the professional and the protocols and integration of this technology in orthodontic practice. Part III provides critical information on CBCT-based Diagnosis and Treatment Planning that includes how to interpret CBCT scans, identify incidental pathologies and the possible other uses of this technology. Part IV covers practical aspects of CBCT’s Clinical Applications and Treatment Outcomes that encompasses a range of topics, including root morphology and position, treatment of impacted teeth, virtual surgical treatment planning and outcomes, and more.
