Does the Use of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Before Mandibular Third Molar Surgery Impact Treatment Planning?

Análisis de terceros molares y sus estructuras anatómicas adyacentes mediante CBCT: meta-análisis

“…Baqain y Cols., determinaron que las imágenes por medio de CBCT permiten identificar la relación entre el 3MM y CDI con mayor precisión; en cuanto a proximidad entre el 3MM y el CDI presentaba una prevalencia del 87.1% a una contraparte en la que el 12.1% no se encontraban próximos entre sí (Baqain et al, 2020).…”

“…La relación vertical entre el 3MM y el CDI establece que un 51.5% presentaba la pieza coronal al CDI, seguido de un 29.5% que se encontraban al mismo nivel y el 18.9% presentaba el molar apical al CDI (Baqain et al, 2020).

Comprehensive review of lower third molar management: A guide for improved informed consent

“…There were statistically significant differences between panoramic radiograph and CBCT examinations for detecting anatomical risk factors. CBCT provided a better understanding of the anatomical relationship between lower third molar roots and the MC (Baqain, AlHadidi, AbuKaraky, & Khader, 2020). The “intersecting” relationship on CBCT is more frequent in mesioangular third molars than in other angulations in the Winter classification.…”

“…When surgical management is planned, assessment by panoramic radiographs provides sufficient information to determine whether to perform a full extraction or to choose an alternative, for example, coronectomy (Aravindaksha et al, 2015; Manor, Abir, Manor, & Kaffe, 2017; Matzen, Christensen, Hintze, Schou, & Wenzel, 2013). It has been argued that experienced surgeons can decide the surgical approach without CBCT (Baqain et al, 2020). However, Ghaeminia et al (2011) reported that 3D information from CBCT images contributes to a drastic change of surgical approach toward tooth removal by revealing the buccolingual relationship between the MC and the lower third molar.…”
