Accuracy of periapical radiography, panoramic radiography and computed tomography for examining the mental foramen region

Abstract: Purpose: To determine the accuracy of different radiographic methods for bone height estimation at the mental foramen area.Methods: Twenty dry human hemimandibles were examed by using periapical and panoramic radiography, and computed tomography. An electronic digital caliper was used to measure the tracings obtained from the radiographies in three different times (groups A1, A2 and A3) and in the cross-sectioned hemimandibles (group B). Measurements consisted of: Measure 1 -from the upper limit of the alveola… Show more

“…however, although panoramic radiography may provide underestimated bone height values, underestimating is safer than overestimating due to the risk of reaching vital structures (7). Vazquez et al (12) suggested the use of a 2 mm safe margin in the mental foramen region after the magnification image compensation when panoramic radiographs are used and Bahlis et al (13) suggested the same safety margin for surgical purposes when using periapical radiographs.…”

“…La radiografía panorámica es una ayuda diagnóstica que brinda al odontólogo una visión única del paciente, contemplando toda la arcada y las estructuras circundantes, los huesos faciales, cóndilos, partes del seno maxilar y complejos nasales [4][5][6][7] . La identificación de patologías bucales por medio de esta herramienta ha adquirido una importancia en el diagnóstico de patologías bucales no visibles clínicamente [8][9][10] .…”
