Download or read book Evaluation of Maxillary Molar Furcations Clinical Measurements Versus Cone Beam Computed Tomography written by Jessica Allen (M.S.) and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: The use of three-dimensional imaging has shown to provide advantages to the clinician in assessing bone morphology. The aim of this study will be to compare the diagnostic efficacy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) versus diagnostic clinical measurements in patients presenting with furcation involved maxillary first molars. METHODS: The study population included 20 patients with 34 maxillary first molar teeth with furcation involvement. Clinical horizontal and vertical probing measurements were compared to CBCT measurements taken by two calibrated examiners. RESULTS: Horizontal measurements showed a significant difference between Glickman class II and class III. There were no statistical significant differences with the horizontal measurements between clinical probing, bone sounding and CBCT measurements. CBCT vertical measurements were statistically greater than clinical probing measurements. CONCLUSION: The CBCT can provide similar horizontal measurements to standard clinical horizontal probing measurements and will provide a greater vertical dimension of a furcation defect to standard vertical probing measurements.

Download or read book External Root Resorption Associated with Maxillary Expansion Therapies as Evaluated Via Cone Beam Computed Tomography written by Darren D. Forst and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: To investigate and develop an appropriate measurement protocol possessing adequate precision in both intra- and inter-rater reliability for in vivo maxillary first molar volume measurements using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. To assess in vivo through the use of CBCT imaging whether the type of maxillary expansion appliance [BAME versus tooth-anchored maxillary expander (TAME)] impacts the amount of external root resorption in maxillary first molars as compared to a no treatment control group. Methods: 62 adolescents requiring maxillary expansion were randomly allocated to groups: TAME, BAME, and control. CBCT images were acquired at baseline and approximately 12-months. Segmentation procedures were investigated and developed to quantify maxillary first molar ERR. Dental volumes were measured on the CBCT images at both time points to assess maxillary first molar dental volume changes. Results: Excellent intra- and inter-rater agreement for segmentation. Automated thresholding with manual refinements on a 2D slice-by-slice basis, yielded the highest intra- and inter-rater reliability statistics. There lacked statistically significant evidence (p>0.05) of differences in external root resorption (both percentage and absolute volume) between TAME, BAME, and control groups. Conclusion: Whole tooth CBCT segmentation employing grayscale thresholding with 2D slice-by-slice manual refinements possesses excellent intra- and inter-rater reliability. There is no statistically significant evidence supporting increased ERR with TAME or BAME versus control.

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.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background. The intraoral findings of patients presenting with differing lower anterior face heights are variable.Methods. Upper anterior face height over lower anterior face height ratios were established from 111 pretreatment iCATRTM CBCT scans and analyzed with AMIRARTM imaging software. Maxillary and mandibular central incisor and first molar vertical heights and buccolingual inclinations were measured relative to fixed reference planes. Mean differences between the groups were assessed using an analysis of variance.Results. Clinically significant differences in dentoalveolar heights, but not buccolingual inclinations, between the face height groups were found.Conclusions. Face height and dentoalveolar position can be determined using CBCT image data. Vertical height, not buccolingual inclination, is associated with differences in lower anterior face height.Objective. To analyze the pre-treatment cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) records of orthodontic patients for determination of dentoalveolar positional differences in subjects classified into three groups: long, normal and short lower anterior face height.
