Item Evaluation of the Appearance, Location and Morphology of Lingual Foramens in Dentates and Edentulous Mandibles Using CBCT(2022) Citir, Mesude; Karslioglu, Hazal; Sumer, Ayse Pinar; Kasap, PelinObjective: The lingual foramen (LF) in the anterior mandibular region is important for surgical planning. Our aim was to assess the anatomical variations of the mandibular LF and canals using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: CBCT images of 148 patients were evaluated. The LF presence, number, position, diameter and trajectory was established. The relationship between the findings and gender, dental status was evaluated using Mann-Whitney U, independent samples t-test, and Spearman correlation. Results: Of 102 patients, 5.9% had the inferior foramen, 60.8% had the superior foramen, and 33.3% had two foramina. The average diameter of the inferior LF was 1.08 mm and superior LF was 1.21 mm. There is a statistical difference between genders according to the diameter of the inferior LF (p=0.031). Conclusion: Due to the prevalence of foramines of different sizes and locations, we recommend assessing with CBCT before surgical procedures.Item Appraisal of the relationship between tooth inclination, dehiscence, fenestration, and sagittal skeletal pattern with cone beam computed tomography(2019) Coskun, Ipek; Kaya, Burcak; 30741575Objectives: To examine the relationship between sagittal facial pattern and dehiscence/fenestration presence in conjunction with buccolingual tooth inclination by using cone beam computed tomography. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on the cone beam computed tomography scans of the following three groups of patients (n = 20 in each group): Class I, Class II, Class III. Buccolingual tooth inclination, buccal dehiscence/fenestration presence, and lingual dehiscence/fenestration presence were evaluated on each tooth. Analysis of variance, Kruskall-Wallis H, Scheffe, and chi-square tests were used for statistical comparisons. Results: Differences (P<.05) were observed between the groups for inclination of upper incisors and all lower teeth except for second molars. Dehiscence prevalence in the upper buccal and posterior buccal regions was higher (P<.05) in the Class I group when compared with the other groups. Lower buccal and anterior buccal regions showed higher (P=.0001) dehiscence prevalence in all groups. No difference was observed in fenestration prevalence between the groups. The upper buccal and anterior buccal regions showed higher (P=.0001) fenestration prevalence in all groups. Conclusions: Orthodontists must consider concealed alveolar defects in treatment planning to avoid gingival recession or tooth mobility.Item Versatility of high resolution ultrasonography in the assessment of granulomas and radicular cysts: a comparative in vivo study(2019) Sonmez, Gul; Kamburoglu, Kivanc; Yilmaz, Funda; Koc, Cemre; Baris, Emre; Tuzuner, Aysegul; 31188679Objectives: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic potential of high resolution ultrasound with periapical radiographs (PR) and CBCT in assessing granulomas and radicular cysts. Methods: This study included a total of 33 teeth from 33 patients with periapical lesions. Subjects were distributed among three groups. A consisted of teeth that were extracted. B consisted of teeth treated with root-canal treatment followed by apical surgery. C consisted of teeth treated with root-canal treatment only. Pre-treatment PR, ultrasound and CBCT images were obtained for Groups A, B and C and 6 month post-treatment PR and ultrasound images were obtained for Groups B and C. In addition, histopathological analysis was performed on lesions in Groups A and B. Lesions were classified as either cystic lesions or granulomas. Width, height, depth, surface area and volume of lesions were measured using the built-in softwares of the appropriate imaging modalities. Measurements were compared by Wilcoxon and paired sample t tests. Ultrasound and histopathological findings were compared with lc and Mc Nemar. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: kappa coefficient (0.667; p = 0.002) suggested good agreement between ultrasound and histopathology. No statistically significant differences were found among periapical radiography, CBCT and ultrasound in the pre-treatment measurements of lesion width ( p = 0.308) or between CBCT and periapical radiography in the pre-treatment measurements of lesion height ( p = 0.863). In all cases, mean measurement values for all variables were lower for ultrasound than for CBCT. Conclusion: Ultrasound provided useful information for the diagnosis and assessment of granulomas and radicular cysts.Item Comparison of periapical radiography, panoramic, and cone-beam CT in the detection of dental caries in dog teeth(2019) Orhan, Kaan; Ozemre, Mehmet Ozgur; Secgin, Cansu Koseoglu; Vural, Sevil Atalay; Gur, Gurkan; Kamburoglu, KivancThe aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of panoramic, periapical and two different Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) devices in the detection of dental caries of dog teeth ex vivo. A total of 880 teeth were investigated, 33 of which were with caries, whereas; 33 healthy teeth were the controls. Periapical, panoramic and CBCT scans were made for the assessment of the teeth. All images were evaluated separately by two observers experienced in image interpretation. The presence or absence of occlusal caries was scored using a 5-point scale. Kappa values were calculated to assess intra and interobserver agreement. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to compare the effectiveness of different imaging methods in the detection of dental caries. For both observers, the order of success of the image sets in the estimation of the caries tooth was CBCT Morita, CBCT Iluma, periapical and panoramic radiograph (Area Under Curve (AUC): 0.929, 0.882, 0.861, and 0.704 for observer 1, AUC: 0.927, 0.896, 0.875, and 0.693 for observer 2, respectively). CBCT was found to be the best imaging method for the ex vivo detection of caries in dog teeth. In addition, panoramic images performed worse than all other modalities.
