“…Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides a complete and stereotactic scan around the investigated object and is widely applied in orthodontics and endodontic diagnosis [ 5 , 6 ]. It is used to assess the bone density of gum, determine the height and width of alveolar bone, and in craniofacial reconstruction to measure the maxillofacial bone structure and provide fine anatomical details.…”

Objective This study aimed to measure the amount of maxillary sinus pneumatization (MSP) extended into alveolar processes in different age groups via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and its association with age. Methods The data of 293 adult patients (533 maxillary sinuses) who underwent CBCT at our hospital from January 2020 to October 2020 were analyzed and divided into the following age groups: group I (18–34 years old, youth group), group II (35–59 years old, middle-aged group) and group III (≥ 60 years old, elderly group). The distance between the lowest point of the maxillary sinus floor and nasal cavity floor in the central area of the maxillary posterior teeth was measured and recorded as the amount of MSP. Further, according to the positional relation between the maxillary posterior teeth and maxillary sinus floor, MSP was divided into type I (normal pneumatization) and type II (extensive pneumatization). The distribution of pneumatization types and degree and change of pneumatization for the different age groups were also analyzed. P < 0.05 was used as the threshold for statistical significance. Results The amount of MSP of group I [(3.75 ± 3.77) mm] was significantly higher than that of group II [(2.30 ± 4.48) mm] and group III [(2.09 ± 4.70) mm], but there was no significant difference between group II and group III. We also found that the amount decreased gradually with increasing age (rs = − 0.2), with the youth group showing a higher prevalence of extensive pneumatization (youth vs. middle-age vs. elderly: 66.44% vs. 36.81% vs. 22.28%, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in the amount of MSP between males and females and between left and right maxillary sinus in each group (P > 0.05). Conclusion The amount of MSP was significantly higher in the 18–34 years old group compared to older age groups, showed a decreasing trend with age and was not associated with sex and maxillary sinus sides.

“…Additionally, it showed that the tongue volume-to-oral cavity-volume ratio was negatively correlated with the oral cavity airway volume. Another study by Halim et al 29 found that 3-dimensional CBCT evaluation of the tongue space, including tongue volume, oral cavity, and air capacity, was reliable and reproducible (as indicated by the ability to duplicate measurements across raters).…”

“…In the present study, all authors who discussed the reliability of CBCT agreed that this 3-dimensional method is a promising alternative for evaluating tongue and oral cavity volumes. Halim et al 29 reported that 3-dimensional CBCT evaluation of the tongue space, including tongue volume, oral cavity, and air capacity, could be a reliable and reproducible method. This aligns with Ding et al, 16 who stated that 3-dimensional volumetric measurement of CBCT images with contrast agents may be considered accurate and reliable and could assist in the identification of soft tissue boundaries.…”

Purpose The goal of this systematic review was to compare the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with that of computed tomography (CT) for volumetric evaluations of the tongue and oral cavity. Materials and Methods A search for articles was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses guidelines. The PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and SAGE Journals databases were searched for articles published between 2011 and 2021. Articles were screened and assessed for eligibility. Screening involved checking for duplication, reading the title and abstract, and reading the full text. Results The initial search retrieved 25,780 articles. Application of the eligibility criteria yielded 16 articles for qualitative analysis. Multiple uses of CBCT were identified. In several studies, researchers assessed the volumetric correlation between tongue and oral cavity volumes, as well as other parameters. Post-treatment volumetric evaluations of the oral cavity were also reported, and the reliability of CBCT was assessed. The use of CT resembled that of CBCT. Conclusion CBCT has been used in the evaluation of tongue and oral cavity volumes to assess correlations between those volumes and with the upper airway. It has also been used for volumetric evaluation after surgical and non-surgical procedures and to assess the relationships between tongue volume, tooth position, occlusion, and body mass index. Participants with obstructive sleep apnea and malocclusion have been evaluated, and the reliability of CBCT has been assessed. In the included studies, CT was utilized for similar purposes as CBCT, but its reliability was not assessed.

Background The Indonesian National Armed Forces have the largest military personnel in Southeast Asia. Physical fitness is important for the overall health of these personnel. Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) enables clinicians to accurately evaluate the upper airway volume. Objective This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the upper airway volume and salivary biomarkers, namely cortisol and salivary α-amylase (sAA), to introduce novel findings and aid the National Armed Forces in evaluating military personnel during recruitment and annual checkups. Methods This observational study included 30 Indonesian male marines aged 21–29 years. CBCT scans were previously performed using a standardized protocol. Head orientation was analyzed using Frankfort's horizontal, midsagittal, and transporionic planes. Participants were randomly assigned to three exercise intensity groups: Group 1 (intense exercise group) had to run for 12 min and do pull-ups, sit-ups, and push-ups (1 min each); group 2 (moderate exercise group) had to run for 12 min and do pull-ups and sit-ups (1 min each); and group 3 (mild exercise group) had to run for 12 min and do pull-ups (1 min). Saliva samples were collected pre- and post-exercise, with sAA levels analyzed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and cortisol levels analyzed using reversed-phase chromatography. Results The correlation between upper airway volume and cortisol was very weak in groups 1 (r=0.066) and 3 (r=0.168) and moderate in group 2 (r=0.680). The correlation between upper airway volume and sAA was moderate in group 1 (r=0.452), weak in group 2 (r=0.232), and moderately negative in group 3 (r=-0.607). Conclusion There is no clear correlation between upper airway volume and salivary biomarkers, including cortisol or sAA. Upper airway volume is the only factor that determines physical fitness. Overall dynamics, including airway pressure, velocity, aerodynamic forces, and flow resistance, must also be evaluated in future studies.
