Echographic Evaluation of Bone Lesions of Endodontic Origin: Report of Two Cases in the Same Patient

Ultrasound evaluation of intra-osseous cavity: A preliminary study in pig mandibles

“…18 The possibility of examining the lesion's content is admittedly one of the advantages offered by ultrasound, both in soft and hard tissue examination. 1,2,4,5,9,14,19 The possibility of using Doppler for real-time evaluation of the degree of lesion vascularization is another differential feature of ultrasound as it allows alterations to be evaluated depending on their degree of activity/aggressiveness. 1,14 Moreover, Rajendran and Sundaresan 20 described that the use of ultrasound allows verifying whether the blood flow is arterial or venous.…”

“…solid or cystic), thus making ultrasound a remarkably versatile diagnostic imaging tool for diagnosis. 1 Ultrasound has been successfully used in dentistry and by several researchers who investigate its use for evaluation of temporomandibular joint, periodontal and periapical lesions, and mandibular fracture, [2][3][4][5][6][7] as well as its benefits compared to other imaging modalities. 7,8 Ultrasound has been shown to be an interesting alternative new tool over the last few years for diagnosis of intra-osseous lesions in jaws, overcoming the limitations of conventional radiography and computerized tomography (CT) due to its availability of real-time multiplanar images, absence of ionizing radiation and accurate analysis.…”

Utility of Transfacial Dental Ultrasonography in Evaluation of Cystic Jaw Lesions

“…Ultrasonography with color/power Doppler imaging of periapical lesions can provide specific information on the size of the lesion, its vascular supply, and internal content, with the ability to distinguish clear from mixed fluid, mucus, or purulent content . A periapical cyst can be distinguished from a granuloma . Ultrasonography has also been found to be an efficient tool in monitoring bone healing after treatment of periapical lesions .…”

Aplicação do ultrassom para avaliação de cavidades intra-ósseas, em mandíbulas de porco

“…As distribuições das respostas dadas no questionário 2 pelos Cirurgiões-Dentistas e Médicos estão resumidas na tabela 5.2 e nos gráficos 5.6 a 5.9. 6 DISCUSSÃO Astl et al (2003), Gateno et al (1993), Hell (1989), Jones e Frost (1984), Wilson e Crocker (1985) A possibilidade de avaliação do conteúdo interno da lesão, também é uma das prerrogativas unânimes ao uso do US (COTTI et al, 2002;COTTI et al, 2003;COTTI et al, 2006;DIB et al,1996;GILANI;HAMID;FAZAL, 2006, HELL, 1989LU et al, 2009;RAJENDRAN;SUNDARESAN, 2007;WILSON;CROCKER, 1985), tanto na avaliação de tecidos moles quanto para avaliações intraóssea. …”
