“…It is possible to visualize both hard and soft tissues in 3-dimension with magnetic resonance imaging, a non-invasive diagnostic tool. It is presented as an alternative to CBCT because ionizing radiation is not used in magnetic resonance imaging (28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33). In our study, the patients were not exposed to unnecessary additional radiation for volume measurements since we used CBCT images that had already been taken for diagnostic or treatment purposes.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical structure of pulp chamber, measure the volume of the total pulp chambers in mm3 and evaluate the pulp chamber volume changes by age and gender statistically in mandibular and maxillary first molars by means of CBCT. Methodology: In our study, CBCT examinations of patients between the ages of 7-18 years, which were carried out due to different reasons were evaluated retrospectively. The CBCT images of healthy total of 160 lower and upper right permanent first molar teeth were selected randomly and the volumes of the total pulp chamber were measured in mm3 with the 3D Slicer software program. We analyzed the collected data with statistical analysis methods and we evaluated whether there was any difference between the patients grouped according to the age in respect of volume changes in the total pulp chamber and whether there was any difference between the mean volume values and gender of the patients within the same group. Results: Comparison of the volume measurements of the lower and upper first permanent molar teeth between the groups showed that the volume values of the total pulp chamber decreased depending on the age (p<0.05). Regarding gender, volume decrease related to age was statistically more significant among females. We determined in all age groups except age 7-9 group that the volume value of the total pulp chamber of the upper permanent first molar teeth was statistically higher than the volume value of the total pulp chamber of the lower permanent first molar teeth (p<0,05). Conclusion: We believe that CBCT is an easy and conservative method for the 3D-imaging of the pulp chamber, volume measurement and examination of the dimensional changes of the total pulp chamber depending on deposition of secondary dentin.

“…CBCT imaging proves to be superior to OPG and other conventional imaging methods when investigating anatomical structures of the jaws. However, all CBCT examinations must be justified on an individualized need basis just as all other radiographic examinations (23)(24)(25)(26)(27).…”

Evaluation of medial lingual foramen with cone-beam computed tomography in a Turkish adult population

Aim: The aim of this study is to characterize the anatomical findings of the MLF in a Turkish population, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methodology: The CBCT images of 350 untreated patients (164 male, 186 female ranging in age between 18 and 65) were included in this study. The distribution of MLFs were determined in axial, sagittal, and coronal planes by considering gender and side. For statistical evaluation, a chi-square test was used to analyze independent samples. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: At least 1 canal was observed in all subjects (n = 350). The most common result was a single canal. Among the 164 male patients (46.86%), 98 had 1 canal (59.75%); 59 had 2 canals (35.97%); and 7 had 3 canals (4.26%). Among the 186 female patients (53.14%), 134 (72.04%) had 1 conduit or canal; 49 (26.34%) had 2 canals; and only 3 case (1.61%) presented with 3 canals. Difference between genders was statistically significant. Conclusions: Vascular canals and anastomoses presence in anterior mandible which are sufficient for severe hemorrhage complications. The distribution of MLFs must be taken into account during presurgical planning.
