    Use of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in Diagnosis of An Otherwise Undetected Periapical Lesion in An Anomalous Tooth
    (2014) Gulsahi, Ayse; Ates, Ufuk; Tirali, Resmiye Ebru; Cehreli, Sevi Burcak; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6487-3984; HGA-3970-2022; AAD-2907-2020; AAD-6138-2021
    Fusion is a developmental anomaly of dental hard tissues. Since dental fusion is characterized by irregular coronal morphology and a complex endodontic anatomy, endodontic therapy of such teeth may present a serious clinical challenge. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a useful tool for the management of complex endodontic problems and dental anomalies. In the case presented here, a CBCT scan revealed morphological details as well as the severity of periapical infection that had not been visualized with conventional imaging techniques. The results obtained with detailed imaging led to a change in the treatment plan.

    Change in Periapical Lesion and Adjacent Mucosal Thickening Dimensions One Year after Endodontic Treatment: Volumetric Cone-beam Computed Tomography Assessment
    (2017) Kamburoglu, Kivanc; Yilmaz, Funda; Gulsahi, Kamran; Gulen, Orhan; Gulsahi, Ayse; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3510-7265; 28132708; AAX-5565-2021
    Introduction: Changes in periapical lesion dimensions along with mucosal thickening after endodontic treatment have not been studied yet. Therefo1e, the objectives of this study were (1) to obtain linear and volumetric measurements of lesion dimensions in maxillary first molars with periapical pathology and (2) to measure maxillary sinus mucosal thickening in the vicinity of periapical lesions before and 1 year after endodontic treatment by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: Twenty-one maxillary first molar teeth of 21 patients (14 female and 7 male) with periapical lesion that had local mucosal thickening in the vicinity of the periapical lesion were endodontically treated. A total of 21 maxillary first molar roots (8 mesiobuccal roots, 6 distobuccal roots, and 7 palatal roots), each one from different patients, was included. Pretreatment and 1-year post-treatment CBCT images of each tooth were obtained by using Kodak CS 9300 3D CBCT unit. Width, height, surface area, and volume measurements of periapical lesions and mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus mucosa in the vicinity of the periapical lesion were measured before and 1 year after endodontic treatment. General linear model (analysis of variance) was used for the comparisons between measurements, and significance was set at P <.05. Regression analysis was also used to test the correlation between different measurements. Results: We found statistically significant differences between mean pretreatment and mean post-treatment measurements conducted by using CBCT images (width, P =.002; height, P <.001; maximum mucosal thickening, P <.001; medium mucosal thickening, P <.001; minimum mucosal thickening, P <.001; surface area, P =.032; and volume, P =.034). Considering gender, age, and root type variables, no significant differences were found for all the measurements conducted (P >.05). There were 36%, 41%, 53%, 54%, 53%, 73%, and 75% mean reductions in lesion width, lesion height, maximum sinus mucosal thickness, medium sinus mucosal thickness, minimum sinus mucosal thickness, lesion surface area, and lesion volume, respectively, before and 1 year after endodontic treatment. Regression analysis of pretreatment lesion volume versus percentage of post-treatment lesion volume change revealed a low regression coefficient (R2 = 16.7%, P >.05), showing a weak linear relationship. Conclusions: CBCT assessment of changes in periapical lesion and mucosal thickening dimensions may reveal useful information regarding endodontic treatment success.

    Marginal fit of 3-unit CAD-CAM zirconia frameworks fabricated using cone beam computed tomography scans: an experimental study
    (2021) Belgin, Huseyin Berkay; Kale, Ediz; Ozcelik, Tuncer Burak; Yilmaz, Burak; 34665345
    Whether cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans can be used for the fabrication of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) is not known. The purpose of the present study was to compare the marginal fit of 3-unit zirconia FDPs fabricated by using CBCT or 3-dimensional (3D) laboratory scanning. Extracted second premolar and molar teeth in a maxillary typodont model were prepared. The first molar was removed and the typodont model was scanned with a laboratory or a CBCT scanner to generate two virtual 3D cast groups (3DL and CBCT). Forty four 3-unit zirconia FDPs were designed on virtual casts and milled. The vertical marginal discrepancy (VMD) was measured by x100-magnification microscopy at seven locations on each abutment. A total of 616 measurements were made at 14 fixed locations in two groups of 22 specimens. The VMD data for 3DL and CBCT groups were statistically analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test (alpha = 0.05). The mean VMDs on premolar ranged between 44 and 55 mu m (median: 43-55 mu m) in 3DL, and 74 and 100 mu m (median: 72-93 mu m) in CBCT; and on the molar, between 47 and 114 mu m (median: 46-114 mu m) in 3DL, and 91 and 162 mu m (median: 93-156 mu m) in CBCT. There was a significant difference between the gaps in 3DL and CBCT groups (p < 0.001). FDPs fabricated using 3D laboratory scanner had significantly smaller VMDs. Nevertheless, the 3-unit zirconia FDPs fabricated using CBCT scans presented promising marginal integrity.

    Relationship between alveolar bone thickness, tooth root morphology, and sagittal skeletal pattern: A cone beam computed tomography study
    (2019) Coskun, Ipek; Kaya, Burcak; 30980091
    PurposeThe goal of this work was to examine the relationship between sagittal facial pattern and thickness of alveolar bone in conjunction with root morphology of teeth by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).MethodsThe study was carried out on the CBCT scans from 3group of patients (n=20 in each group). The first group involved skeletal class1, the second group involved skeletal class2, and the third group involved skeletal class3 patients. In all, 14permanent teeth and interdental regions in the maxilla and mandible were evaluated. Root length and root width were measured on each tooth. Buccal cortical bone thickness, cancellous bone thickness, and lingual cortical bone thicknesses were measured in each interdental region. Analysis of variance, Kruskall-WallisH and Mann-WhitneyU tests were used for statistical comparisons.ResultsNo significant difference was found between the groups for root length, root width, buccal cortical bone and lingual cortical bone thickness. A significant difference was observed between the groups for cancellous bone thickness as it was thicker in skeletal class2 group. Cortical bone was thicker in the mandible compared to maxilla on both buccal and lingual sides and it was thicker in the posterior region compared to the anterior region on the buccal side.ConclusionsDifferences in cancellous bone thickness between different sagittal facial patterns and differences in cortical bone thickness between different alveolar regions should be taken into consideration when planning orthodontic tooth movements and anchorage mechanics..
