Diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the detection of accessory mental foramina using different devices and imaging modalities
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent . 2022 Dec 13. doi: 10.11607/prd.5357. Online ahead of print. Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT for the detection of accessory mental foramina (AMFs) in dry mandibles using two different devices and three different CBCT imaging modalities. A total of 40 dry mandibles were selected to generate corresponding CBCT images, each with three different CBCT imaging modalities, using a ProMax 3D Mid and Veraview X800. The presence, count, location, and diameter of the AMF were measured on both dry mandibles and CBCT scans. Different imaging mod...

Conventional and digital complete-arch implant impression techniques: An in vitro study comparing accuracy
Published:December 18, 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.08.028 Abstract Statement of problem Varying complete-arch digital-implant –scanning techniques have been described, but their accuracy remains uncertain. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro investigation was to assess the effect of the implant angulation and impression method (conventional, intraoral digital scan, intraoral scan with a splinting framework, and combini ng cone beam computed tomography [CBCT] and intraoral scan) on the accuracy of complete arch implant recording. Material and methods The following 2 casts were obtained: one with 4 par...

ABSTRACT Introduction Root resorption is a destructive process that compromises tooth structure and can result in tooth loss. Often it remains asymptomatic and is an incidental finding on radiographic examinations. The purpose of this study was to determine prevalence and characteristics of root resorption in patients referred for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging for a variety of indications. Methods The study included CBCT scans of 1,086 consecutive patients referred for CBCT imaging over an 18-month period. A total of 1,148 scans were acquired. Data were abstracted from radiology reports, and prevalence estim...
