The Use of Panoramic Radiography for Condyle Shape Detection on Menopausal Periods in Dentistry Radiology Installation – Dental and Oral Hospital of Universitas Sumatera Utara

Abstract

Panoramic radiographs can be used to detect temporomandibular morphology and condylar changes. This study shape-determines the female condyle in perimenopausal and postmenopausal using panoramic radiography. It used an observational survey technique with a sample of 80 people, consisting of 40 perimenopausal aged between 20 and 29, and 40 postmenopausal females aged over 52. The results on the perimenopausal condyle process obtained a round shape of 43.7%, an angle of 32.5%, and a pointed shape of 23.7%. Furthermore, the shape of the condylar process in postmenopause is 37.5% pointed, 30% angled, 25% round, and 7.5% flat. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance value of p<0.05. The results showed that changes in the size and shape of the condyles occur with age. There is a significant difference in the condyle shape between perimenopausal and postmenopausal periods.

Mutu Radiograf Panoramik Digital Ditinjau dari Segi Artefak pada Rumah Sakit di Kota Semarang, Indonesia

“…Benda asing yang dipakai pasien dilepas, disimpan secara aman dan dikembalikan ke pasien ketika prosedur selesai. 12,13 Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan nilai kesalahan yang lebih kecil terjadi dibandingkan nilai kesalahan yang terjadi di negara luar lainnya. Kekurangan pada penelitian ini ialah data yang didapatkan merupakan data sekunder, sehingga tidak mengetahui penyebab asli dari terdapatnya artefak berdasarkan keadaan di lapangan.…”
