“…The potential for longitudinal studies is incredible due to the relatively low radiation exposure needed to collect such data. 19,20 As in the studies by FeriniStrambi et al 17 and Vgontzas et al 18 our cases had a BMI near the obesity definition (29.5 ±9.05), while the control group had a lower BMI (23.1±3.05). This means it is not possible with our data to determine if the airway shape seen in the OSA patients was acquired in conjunction with the obesity or whether the airway change was present pre-obesity.…”

“…26 In contrast to CT imaging, CBCT generates high-resolution isotropic volumetric data with high geometric accuracy at a low effective radiation dose that is only slightly greater than that used in panoramic radiography. 27 CBCT offers a reliable three-dimensional diagnostic image, unlike the 2-dimensional dentopantomograph and occipitomental views provided by conventional radiography.…”

The implications of different lateral wall thicknesses on surgical access to the maxillary sinus

The objective of this study was to measure the topographic thickness of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus in selected Asian populations. Measurements were made on the lateral walls of maxillary sinuses recorded using CBCT in a convenient sample of patients attending an Asian teaching hospital. The points of measurement were the intersections between the axes along the apices of the canine, first premolar, and second premolar and along the mesiobuccal and distobuccal apices of the first and second molars and horizontal planes 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm beneath the orbital floor. The CBCT images of 109 patients were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 33.0 (SD 14.8) years. Almost three quarters (71.8%) of the patients were male. The mean bone thickness decreased beginning at the 10-mm level and continuing to 40 mm below the orbital floor. Few canine regions showed encroachment of the maxillary sinus. The thickness of the buccal wall gradually increased from the canine region (where sinus encroachment of the canine region was present) to the first molar region, after which it decreased to the thickness observed at the canine region. The buccal wall of the maxillary sinus became thicker anteroposteriorly, except in the region of the second molar, and thinner superoinferiorly. These changes will affect the approach used to osteotomize the lateral sinus wall for oral surgery and for the sinus lift procedure.

“…According to Mah et al 27 suggested that CBCT result in significantly less effective radiation exposure, between 3 and 18 times lower than various conventional medical CT. As for cost of ordering an image for dental implant assessment, CBCT is less expensive than that of CT. Additional considerations may make CBCT an accessible and affordable option for use in a dentistry like …”

Diagnostic radiology has undergone profound changes in the last three decades. New technologies have emerged and are being readily accepted into dentistry. Rapid developments in diagnostic devices and software applications have allowed new methods for dentomaxillofacial diagnosis and treatment planning as well as prosthetic and surgical treatment. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is one of the most important developments in dental radiology over the years. Contemporary implant dentistry is a primarily prosthetically driven treatment. Implant restorations as a treatment modality is on rise in day to day practice. The implant position is defined during the diagnostic phase, and the radiographic guide indicates accurately the area of concern on the CBCT. CBCT can be used as an alternative imaging modality to conventional medical spiral tomography, spiral multislice computed tomography for preoperative radiograph assessment of potential dental implant sites. CBCT is capable of providing submillimeter resolution in image of high diagnostic quality, reliable bone width, bone height and bone density measurements comparable to CT and less radiation exposure the CT. CBCT is promising alternative to conventional CT for successful presurgical planning in implant restorations.
