Title Mini-implants and narrow diameter implants as mandibular overdenture retainers: A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical and radiographic outcomes. [Review] Source Journal of Oral Rehabilitation. 45(2):161-183, 2018 Feb. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract This study reviews the clinical and radiographic outcomes of Mini-implants (MI) and Narrow Diameter Implants (NDI) as mandibular overdenture (MO) retainers. Six databases were consulted for clinical studies that evaluated implants with diameter <=3.5 mm. Data on the MI and NDI for survival and success rate and peri-implant bone loss and were collected and submitted to meta-analysis. Thirty-six studies were included, 24 reporting MI performance and 12 describing NDI results. The MI group comprised data from 1 cross-sectional clinical study, 3 retrospective longitudinal (RL) clinical studies, 13 prospective longitudinal (PL) clinical studies and 7 randomised clinical trials (RCT) with follow-up periods ranging from 1 day to 7 years. Eight studies used conventional loading, thirteen used immediate loading, two studies used both loading types, and one study did not report. The NDI group comprised data from 3 RL clinical studies, 6 PL clinical studies and 3 RCT with follow-up ranging from 6 months to 10 years. Ten studies used conventional loading, 1 study used immediate loading, and 1 study did not report. The average survival rates of MI and NDI studies were 98% and 98%, respectively, while the average success rates were 93% and 96%, respectively. The average peri-implant bone loss after 12, 24 and 36 months was 0.89, 1.18 and 1.02 mm for MI and 0.18, 0.12 and -0.32 mm for NDI. Both MI and NDI showed adequate clinical behaviour as overdenture retainers. The NDI showed a better long-term predictability to retain OM with most studies adopting conventional loading.

Source Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. 29(1):e78-e80, 2018 Jan. Abstract OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to present 4 cases and to undertake a systematic review on the current knowledge of the impact of cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) artifacts on oral and maxillofacial surgical planning and follow-up. METHODS: The MEDLINE (PubMed) database was searched for the period from February 2004 to February 2017, for studies on the impact of CBCT artifacts on surgical planning of oral and maxillofacial surgeries. The PRISMA statement was followed during data assessment and extraction. As a result, data extraction included information regarding: the use of CBCT to plan or follow-up oral and maxillofacial surgeries, presence and type identification of a CBCT artifact, and details on the impact of artifacts on image quality and/or surgical planning. Four cases were selected to illustrate the topic. RESULTS: The search strategy yielded 408 publications in MEDLINE (PubMed). An initial screening of the publications was performed using abstracts and key words. After application of exclusion criteria, a total of 11 studies were finally identified as eligible to be discussed. Studies revealed 3 main types of artifact: beam hardening, streak, and motion artifacts. Most of the studies suggest that artifacts significantly affect oral and maxillofacial surgical planning and follow-up, despite of allowing for identification of metal projectiles in cases of maxillofacial trauma. CONCLUSION: CBCT artifacts have a significant impact on oral and maxillofacial surgical planning and follow-up. Publication Type Journal Article.

[Review] Source Radiologic Clinics of North America. 56(1):91-104, 2018 Jan. Abstract Fibroosseous lesions in the jaws have similar histologic and radiographic features. Despite their similarity, management varies significantly. In this article, common fibroosseous lesions and key radiographic features are described. Many of the fibroosseous lesions are diagnosed radiographically, without performing histologic examinations. For some of the fibroosseous lesions, for example, periapical osseous dysplasia, histologic examination is contraindicated. Cherubism and fibrous dysplasia have specific radiographic findings; these conditions can be diagnosed radiographically. Accurate diagnosis conditions is essential; some conditions do not require any intervention, while others require surgical resection. Patient demographics, for example, age, gender, and race, play important roles in diagnosis. Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

Abstract Malignancies in the maxillofacial region are rare but comprise a broad spectrum of lesions. Given the potential for malignancies to mimic dental/sinus/temporomandibular joint pathology or remain asymptomatic, the judicious radiologist will be familiar with the initial and unique malignant changes affecting the dentition, periodontium, and supporting osseous structures on conventional film, dental, and sinus imaging. This article is meant to serve as a complement to the many excellent texts dedicated to advanced imaging techniques for the staging of known malignancies. The lesions discussed are a representative sample of malignancies involving hard tissues of the maxillofacial complex but are far from complete. Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Title Imaging of Benign Odontogenic Lesions. [Review] Source Radiologic Clinics of North America. 56(1):45-62, 2018 Jan. Abstract Numerous benign cysts or solid tumors may present in the jaws. These arise from tooth-forming tissues in the dental alveolus or from nonodontogenic tissues in the basal bone of the mandible and maxilla. Radiologists provide 2 deliverables to assist in diagnosis and management: (1) appropriately formatted images demonstrating the location and extent of the lesion and (2) interpretive reports highlighting specific radiologic findings and an impression providing a radiologic differential diagnosis. This article provides guidance on essential image protocols for planning treatments, a radiologic differential diagnostic algorithm based on location and pattern recognition, and a summary of the main features of benign odontogenic lesions.

Title Imaging of Odontogenic Infections. [Review] Source Radiologic Clinics of North America. 56(1):31-44, 2018 Jan. Abstract Odontogenic infections represent a common clinical problem in patients of all ages. The presence of teeth enables the direct spread of inflammatory products from dental caries, trauma, and/or periodontal disease into the maxilla and mandible. The radiographic changes seen depend on the type and duration of the inflammatory process and host body response. Imaging plays a central role in identifying the source of infection and the extent of the disease spread and in detecting any complications. Many different imaging modalities can be used. The radiographic features associated with acute and chronic inflammatory processes are discussed. Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

Title Alterations in Tooth Structure and Associated Systemic Conditions. [Review] Source Radiologic Clinics of North America. 56(1):125-140, 2018 Jan. Abstract A variety of factors can affect the normal development of tissues and may lead to variation in the normal compliment of teeth and development of alterations in the shape and size of teeth. These anomalies can be congenital, developmental, or acquired. Dental anomalies can present as isolated traits or be associated with systemic conditions and syndromes for which early diagnosis and genetic testing may result in better treatment outcomes and quality of life. Dentists play an essential role in the multidisciplinary management of these abnormalities. This article discusses some of these tooth alterations and associated systemic and genetic conditions.

Title A cone-beam computed tomography study of the anatomical relationships between mandibular teeth and the mandibular canal, with a review of the current literature. Source Microscopy Research & Technique. 2017 Dec 29. Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate age- and sex-related changes in the anatomical relationships between the roots of the molars and premolars and the mandibular canal using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. A total of 243 patients (116 males, 127 females) aged 16-83 years for whom previous CBCT scans were available were enrolled in this study. The patients were subcategorized by sex and age (Group I, <21 years; Group II, 21-40 years; and Group III, >40 years). The distances between the mandibular canal and the molars and premolars were measured. The mandibular canal was significantly closer to the root apices of the second and third molars than to the apices of other evaluated teeth (p<0.05). All measurements were significantly higher in male than in female subjects (p<0.05). Group I subjects exhibited significantly shorter distances between the mandibular canal and root apices of the first and second premolars, and the molars, than those of Group II and III subjects (p<0.05). Direct contact relationships were found in 1.6%, 3.3%, 3.3%, 16%, and 32.2% of teeth (running from the first premolar to the third molar, respectively). Age and sex influenced the anatomical relationships between mandibular teeth and the mandibular canal, and these should be considered when planning endodontic and surgical procedures to avoid potential nerve injury.

Title Cone-beam CT in paediatric dentistry: DIMITRA project position statement. [Review] Source Pediatric Radiology. 2017 Nov 15. Abstract DIMITRA (dentomaxillofacial paediatric imaging: an investigation towards low-dose radiation induced risks) is a European multicenter and multidisciplinary project focused on optimizing cone-beam CT exposures for children and adolescents. With increasing use of cone-beam CT for dentomaxillofacial diagnostics, concern arises regarding radiation risks associated with this imaging modality, especially for children. Research evidence concerning cone-beam CT indications in children remains limited, while reports mention inconsistent recommendations for dose reduction. Furthermore, there is no paper using the combined and integrated information on the required indication-oriented image quality and the related patient dose levels. In this paper, therefore, the authors initiate an integrated approach based on current evidence regarding image quality and dose, together with the expertise of DIMITRA's members searching for a state of the art. The aim of this DIMITRA position statement is to provide indication-oriented and patient-specific recommendations regarding the main cone-beam CT applications in the pediatric field. The



authors will review this position statement document when results regarding multidisciplinary approaches evolve, in a period of 5 years or earlier. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

Title INCIDENCE OF MAXILLARY SINUS DISEASE BEFORE SINUS FLOOR ELEVATION SURGERY AS IDENTIFIED BY CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY: A LITERATURE REVIEW. Source Journal of Oral Implantology. 2017 Nov 08. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract PURPOSE: to review the literature in order to assess the incidence of maxillary sinus disease before sinus floor elevation surgery (SFE) surgery as identified by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Only studies in which patients had performed CBCT for dental implant placement in the last ten years were considered. RESULTS: Eleven studies were identified. A total of 1792 patients were collected. All the studies reviewed reported on thickening of the sinus mucosa as a criterion for sinus disease with different threshold values. All studies reported mucosal thickening (MT) ranged between 25.5% and 93.1%. The mean incidence of MT was 54.99%. Two studies examined correlation of MT with clinical symptoms. Three studies reported evaluation of the ostiomeatal complex (OMC). CONCLUSION: There is a high probability of detecting a certain degree of MT in patients referred for SFE. There is no consensus regarding the threshold values beyond which MT is considered pathological. Independently from the threshold values or the type of MT the studies lack correlation with clinical data regarding patients' sinusitis-related history or symptoms. CBCT with a large field of view (FOV) to evaluate the OMC is appropriate in patients scheduled for SFE. Future studies should include a systematic correlation with clinical symptoms and the possible presence of OMC obstruction. A clinical assessment which include nasal endoscopy is indicated when MT and obstruction of the OMC is identified. Surgical correction of OMC obstruction seems to be appropriate in order to increase the success rate and to avoid possible complication after SFE. Publication Type Journal Article.

Title Open-mouth jaw locking in cats: a literature review and use of computed tomography in three cases. Source Journal of Feline Medicine & Surgery. 1098612X17737433, 2017 Nov 01. Abstract Case series summary This report summarises and reviews the published cases of open-mouth jaw locking in cats and describes three further cases. Case 1 was a 5-year-old, 5.3 kg male neutered domestic shorthair cat. CT identified changes consistent with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysplasia with osseous degenerative changes, and the cat subsequently underwent bilateral partial




zygomectomy with bilateral partial coronoidectomy. Case 2 was a 10-year-old, 6.0 kg male neutered Exotic Shorthair. Aside from a fracture of the left maxillary canine tooth crown and absence of the left maxillary fourth premolar tooth, no abnormalities were found on CT scan. The cat also underwent bilateral partial zygomectomy with bilateral partial coronoidectomy. The third case was a 1-year-old, 4.0 kg male neutered Persian cat. Changes on CT were consistent with bilateral TMJ dysplasia, and the cat underwent staged bilateral partial zygomectomy with bilateral partial coronoidectomy. There was no recurrence of open-mouth jaw locking in any of the cases on long-term follow-up. Relevance and novel information Open-mouth jaw locking has been reported in cats of a wide range of ages, from 1-10 years of age. Cats with all skull types (brachycephalic, mesaticephalic and dolichocephalic) may be affected, but brachycephalic breeds seem to be over-represented. A CT scan with the jaw locked in place is recommended for diagnosis and surgical planning purposes; two of the cases reported here document the first cases of TMJ dysplasia in cats to be definitively diagnosed using CT. Trauma and symphyseal or TMJ laxity may also predispose to development of the condition. Partial coronoidectomy and partial zygomatic arch resection performed alone or in combination are generally successful at preventing recurrence. Bilateral partial zygomectomy with bilateral partial coronoidectomy has not previously been reported as a surgical treatment, and is recommended when open-mouth jaw locking occurs bilaterally.

Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess and present, using sialo-cone beam computed tomography (sialo-CBCT) examination, cases of submandibular gland (SM) chronic obstructive sialadenitis (COS) caused by dental rehabilitation. DATA SOURCES: Clinical and radiographic data of all patients referred for SM sialo-CBCT imaging in the Oral and Maxillofacial Imaging Unit with recurrent SM swelling between January 2012 and July 2015 were reviewed. Cases with suggested iatrogenic cause were selected and described. A literature review of similar cases was also performed. RESULTS: Seventy-one patients with salivary gland (SG) swelling were referred for SM sialo-CBCT. Of these, 16 had implant-supported fixed partial prostheses and seven had full mandibular overdentures. In five patients, COS was diagnosed and a causal relationship between their dental rehabilitation and symptoms was suggested. A literature search revealed 11 cases of SM COS secondary to anterior mandibular rehabilitation. CONCLUSION: Clinicians rehabilitating the anterior edentulous mandibular region should be aware that both fixed and removable devices may block the orifices of the SM, causing COS.

The introduction of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) devices, changed the way oral and maxillofacial radiology is practiced. CBCT was embraced into the dental settings very rapidly due to its compact size, low cost, low ionizing radiation exposure when compared to medical computed tomography. Alike medical CT, 3 dimensional evaluation of the maxillofacial region with minimal distortion is offered by the CBCT. This article provides an overview of basics of CBCT technology and reviews the specific application of CBCT technology to oral and maxillofacial region with few illustrations.

Title Role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in Dentistry: An Update. [Review] Source Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry. 7(Suppl 3):S125-S136, 2017 Nov. Abstract Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning are the backbone of any medical therapy; for this reason, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and has been widely used. CBCT technology provides a three-dimensional image viewing, enabling exact location and extent of lesions or any anatomical region. For the very same reason, CBCT can not only be used for surgical fields but also for fields such as endodontics, prosthodontics, and orthodontics for appropriate treatment planning and effective dental care. The aim and clinical significance of this review are to update dental clinicians on the CBCT applications in each dental specialty for an appropriate diagnosis and more predictable treatment.

Title The Use of Optical Coherence Tomography in Dental Diagnostics: A State-of-the-Art Review. [Review] Source Journal of Healthcare Engineering. 2017:7560645, 2017. Abstract



Optical coherence tomography provides sections of tissues in a noncontact and noninvasive manner. The device measures the time delay and intensity of the light scattered or reflected from biological tissues, which results in tomographic imaging of their internal structure. This is achieved by scanning tissues at a resolution ranging from 1 to 15mum. OCT enables real-time in situ imaging of tissues without the need for biopsy, histological procedures, or the use of X-rays, so it can be used in many fields of medicine. Its properties are not only particularly used in ophthalmology, in the diagnosis of all layers of the retina, but also increasingly in cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, oncology, and dermatology. The basic properties of OCT, that is, noninvasiveness and low wattage of the used light, have also been appreciated in analytical technology by conservators, who use it to identify the quality and age of paintings, ceramics, or glass. Recently, the OCT technique of visualization is being tested in different fields of dentistry, which is depicted in the article. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract BACKGROUND: The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate whether cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging can be used to assess dentoalveolar anatomy critical to the periodontist when determining risk assessment for patients undergoing orthodontic therapy using fixed or removable appliances. METHODS: Both observational and interventional trials reporting on the use of CBCT imaging assessing the impact of orthodontic/dentofacial orthopedic treatment on periodontal tissues (i.e., alveolar bone) were included. Changes in the alveolar bone thickness and height around natural teeth as well as treatment costs were evaluated. MEDLINE (via PubMed) and EMBASE databases were searched for articles published in the English language, up to and including July 2016, and extracted data were organized into evidence tables. RESULTS: Thirteen studies were included in this systematic review describing the positive or deleterious changes on the alveolar bone surrounding natural teeth undergoing orthodontic tooth movement or influenced by orthopedic forces through fixed appliances. Clinical recommendation summaries presenting the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence in terms of benefits and harms were generated. CONCLUSIONS: CBCT imaging can improve the periodontal diagnostic acumen regarding alveolar bone alterations influenced by orthodontic tooth movement and can help determine risk assessment prior to such intervention. Clinicians are also better informed to determine risk assessment and develop preventative or plan interceptive periodontal augmentation (soft tissue and/or bone augmentation) therapies for patients undergoing orthodontic tooth movement. These considerations are recognized as being especially critical for treatment approaches in patients where buccal tooth movement (expansion) is planned in the anterior mandible or involving the maxillary premolars.

Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract BACKGROUND: Application of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has grown exponentially across dentistry with a clear impact in implant dentistry. This review aims at providing the scientific context to understand if CBCT imaging should become the standard of care for patients requiring dental implants. METHODS: A literature search for CBCT applications in implant dentistry was performed using the PubMed database that included studies published between January 1, 2000, and June 24, 2017. RESULTS: Of 559 citations identified and manually screened, 161 were selected as suitable for the purpose of the review. The selected studies belonged to three distinct categories: 1) diagnosis and treatment outcome assessment, 2) implant treatment planning, and 3) anatomic characterization. CONCLUSIONS: The current available literature reflects an increased optimization of emerging CBCT imaging protocols and further highlights its diverse applications for dental implant therapy. This technology continues to be considered an advanced point-of-care imaging modality and should be used selectively as an adjunct to two-dimensional dental radiography. As with other ionizing radiation imaging modalities, CBCT imaging should be used only when the potential benefits to the patient outweigh the risks. Dental health care professionals should consider CBCT imaging only when they expect the diagnostic information yielded will lead to better patient care, enhanced patient safety, and ultimately facilitate a more predictable, optimal treatment outcome.

Title Rapid Maxillary Expansion and Upper Airway Morphology: A Systematic Review on the Role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography. [Review] Source BioMed Research International. 2017:5460429, 2017. Abstract OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the quality of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) studies evaluating the effects of rapid maxillary expansion on upper airway morphology.




MATERIALS AND METHODS: A database search was conducted using PubMed, Ovid, and Cochrane Library up to December 2016. Studies in which CBCT was adopted to visualize the upper airway before and after rapid maxillary expansion were included. The population target was growing patients. Methodological quality assessment was performed. RESULTS: The screening process resulted in the exclusion of 1079 references, resulting in only 9 remaining papers that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. No randomized clinical trials were found. The quality scores ranged from 36% to 68% of the maximum achievable, and the mean quality score of the studies was 50%. No good quality studies were detected in our sample. CONCLUSIONS: Inconsistencies in the CBCT protocols utilized were detected between studies. Head posture, tongue position, and segmentation protocols were not consistent. These discrepancies were reflected in the different results obtained in the studies. A valid and consistent protocol with regard to head and tongue positioning, as well as nasal cavity volume segmentation, is required. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

Title What is the frequency of anatomical variations and pathological findings in maxillary sinuses among patients subjected to maxillofacial cone beam computed tomography? A systematic review. Source Medicina Oral, Patologia Oral y Cirugia Bucal. 22(4):e400-e409, 2017 Jul 01. Abstract BACKGROUND: When considering dental implant rehabilitation in atrophic posterior sectors, the maxillary sinuses must be evaluated in detail. Knowledge of the anatomical variations and of the potential lesions found in these structures conditions the outcome of sinus lift procedures and therefore of the dental implants. A systematic review is made to determine the frequency of anatomical variations and pathological findings in maxillary sinuses among patients subjected to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A PubMed (MEDLINE) literature search was made of articles published up until 20 December 2015. The systematic review was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). The quality of the studies included in the review was assessed using the Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies (MINORS). RESULTS: The combinations of search terms resulted in a list of 3482 titles. Twenty-three studies finally met the inclusion criteria and were entered in the systematic review, comprising a total of 11,971 patients. The most common anatomical variations were pneumatization and sinus septa. The prevalence of maxillary sinus disease ranged from 7.5% to 66%. The most common pathological findings of the maxillary sinus were mucosal thickening, sinusitis and sinus opacification. CONCLUSIONS: Although the main indication of CBCT of the maxillary sinus in dentistry is sinus floor elevation/treatment planning and evaluation prior to dental implant placement, this imaging modality is increasingly also used for endodontic and periodontal purposes. There is no consensus regarding the cutoff point beyond which mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus should be regarded as pathological, and the definition of maxillary sinusitis moreover varies greatly in the scientific literature. In this regard, international consensus is required in relation to these concepts, with a clear distinction between healthy and diseased maxillary sinuses. Publication Type Journal Article.

Use of cone beam computed tomography in implant dentistry: current concepts, indications and limitations for clinical practice and research. [Review] Source Periodontology 2000. 73(1):51-72, 2017 Feb. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract Diagnostic radiology is an essential component of treatment planning in the field of implant dentistry. This narrative review will present current concepts for the use of cone beam computed tomography imaging, before and after implant placement, in daily clinical practice and research. Guidelines for the selection of three-dimensional imaging will be discussed, and limitations will be highlighted. Current concepts of radiation dose optimization, including novel imaging modalities using low-dose protocols, will be presented. For preoperative cross-sectional imaging, data are still not available which demonstrate that cone beam computed tomography results in fewer intraoperative complications such as nerve damage or bleeding incidents, or that implants inserted using preoperative cone beam computed tomography data sets for planning purposes will exhibit higher survival or success rates. The use of cone beam computed tomography following the insertion of dental implants should be restricted to specific postoperative complications, such as damage of neurovascular structures or postoperative infections in relation to the maxillary sinus. Regarding peri-implantitis, the diagnosis and severity of the disease should be evaluated primarily based on clinical parameters and on radiological findings based on periapical radiographs (two dimensional). The use of cone beam computed tomography scans in clinical research might not yield any evident beneficial effect for the patient included. As many of the cone beam computed tomography scans performed for research have no direct therapeutic consequence, dose optimization measures should be implemented by using appropriate exposure parameters and by reducing the field of view to the actual region of interest.

Title Reliability of upper pharyngeal airway assessment using dental CBCT: a systematic review. Source European Journal of Orthodontics. 39(5):489-496, 2017 Oct 01. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract Background: Upper airway analysis is an often-cited use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging in orthodontics. However, the reliability of this process in a clinical setting is largely unknown. Objective: Our objective was to systematically review the literature to evaluate the reliability of upper pharyngeal airway assessment using dental CBCT. Search methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched through June 2015. Selection criteria: Human studies that measured reliability of upper airway assessment in patients using CBCT as part of the study protocol were considered. Data collection and analysis: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) was followed. Data were collected on overall study characteristics and measurements, CBCT unit and machine settings used, and examination characteristics of the included studies. Methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated. Results: Forty-two studies were evaluated, representing the CBCT scans of 956 patients. Studies included a wide variety of patients and CBCT machines with various scan settings. Only five studies were deemed high quality. The available evidence indicates that under specific restricted conditions there is moderate to excellent intra- and inter-examiner reliability. Airway volume demonstrated greater intra- and inter-examiner reliability than did minimum cross-sectional area. However, significant methodological limitations of the current literature, most importantly a lack of manual orientation of the images and selection of threshold sensitivity in study protocols, suggest that reliability has not been adequately established.





Conclusions: The current literature reports moderate to excellent reliability, with airway volume having higher reliability than minimum cross-sectional area. However, only limited aspects of the process of airway analysis have been evaluated, indicating that further research is required to adequately establish the reliability of upper pharyngeal airway assessment of patients using dental CBCT.

Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract BACKGROUND: Dental trauma and deep caries are frequent findings in children and adolescents that may lead to pulp necrosis in young permanent teeth. As a consequence, the root stops its development, and managing these immature teeth becomes challenging due to the presence of open apexes and fragile dentinal walls. AIM: We aimed to carry out a systematic review including a meta-analysis to compare the endodontic treatments available in the management of immature necrotic permanent teeth and determine which one provides the best clinical and radiographic outcomes. DESIGN: The literature was screened via PubMed/MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and ClinicalTrials databases until August 2015 to select randomized clinical trials that compared at least two different treatments regarding immature necrotic permanent teeth comprising clinical and radiographic success as outcome. Two reviewers independently performed the screening and evaluation of the articles. A total of 648 studies were retrieved from the databases, in which only 14 were selected to full-text analysis by the appliance of inclusion criteria. After the exclusion criteria, the remaining seven studies had their data extracted and assessed for bias risk. Pooled-effect estimates were obtained comparing clinical and radiographic success rates among MTA Versus other treatments. RESULTS: Evaluation of clinical (Z = 2.32, P = 0.02, OR = 5.37, 95% CI: 1.29-22.23, I = 0%) and radiographic (Z = 2.45, P = 0.01, OR = 4.31, 95% CI: 1.34-13.82, I = 0%) outcomes favored the MTA (control group) when compared to other endodontic treatments (P < 0.05). No evidence of heterogeneity was detected among the studies (I < 50%), whereas a moderate risk of bias was identified in five of them. CONCLUSIONS: Although almost all of the identified studies presented moderate risk of bias, MTA apexification seems to produce overall better clinical and radiographic success rates among the endodontic treatment available in immature necrotic permanent teeth.

Title Radiation protection in dental radiology - Recent advances and future directions. [Review] Source Physica Medica. 44:222-226, 2017 Dec. Abstract Dental radiology uses X-ray technology to diagnose and design treatment of various clinical problems related to the oral cavity and surrounding tissues. As technology quickly evolves, there are numerous X-ray modalities using different tools in the attempt to best image and treat efficiently these diseases, disorders or other related clinical conditions. The reported numbers of dental X-rays, the fact that these may be under-reported in many countries and because dental X-rays are performed more on younger individuals, whose teeth and dentition are still developing, calls for increased need on radiation protection. The objectives of this paper are to report on the latest technology updates and related radiation protection issues, to present future directions and define gaps. Most of existing radiation protection national and international guidelines are more than a decade old. Update is needed to account for newer technologies such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital imaging. Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs), a well established method for dose optimization, are not yet defined for CBCT and have to be set for various clinical indications. As far as shielding is concerned, recent data confirm that use of lead apron, even in pregnant patients, or gonadal shielding are not recommended, due to negligible radiation dose reduction. Thyroid lead shielding should be used in case the organ is in or close to the primary beam. Specifically for CBCT, leaded glasses, thyroid collars and collimation (smaller field of view (FOV) especially for paediatric patients) minimize the dose to organs outside the FOV.

The Value of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in the Management of Dentigerous Cysts - A Review and Case Report. [Review] Source Dental Update. 44(3):182-4, 186-8, 2017 Mar. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has recently seen an expansion in use, however there are few robust, evidence-based guidelines to inform practitioners. This article reports the case of a large dentigerous cyst in the maxilla affecting the eruption of multiple teeth, considers the use of CBCT in the management of such lesions, and discusses guidelines on the use of CBCT in dentistry. Clinical relevance: As CBCT use increases it is important that practitioners understand the guidelines surrounding its use. Due to the prevalence of dentigerous cysts, it is likely that they will be encountered clinically, and it is important that clinicians referring patients with such lesions are familiar with the principles of managing them.

The reference lists of the included studies were screened. Two authors performed the searches with no language restrictions. The research questions were outlined based on a hierarchical model. The primary outcomes were diagnostic accuracy, level of intermodalities agreement, effect of these images on treatment planning and treatment outcomes, and societal efficacy between the CBCT and CR in the localization of impacted canines. Two reviewers evaluated the risk of bias assessment by using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool and the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. RESULTS: Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Two studies reported diagnostic accuracy, 6 reported intermodalities agreement in impacted canine localization, and 3 reported treatment planning agreement between the modalities. No therapeutic and societal efficacy study found. The accuracy of CBCT ranged from 50% to 95%, and the accuracy of CR ranged from 39% to 85%. A wide range of kappa intermodalities agreement from 0.20 to 0.82, with observed agreement of 64% to 84%, was reported in canine localization. Broad kappa treatment planning agreement values from 0.36 to 0.72 were reported. Most studies suffered from a high risk of bias in subject selection. CONCLUSIONS: The fair to moderate intermodalities agreement in maxillary canine localization might mean that the information obtained through these modalities is deviant and ultimately might affect treatment planning. Although there is still a lack of strong evidence, CBCT is more effective than CR in evaluating cases that are difficult to diagnose in the initial evaluation with CR.

[Review] Source Journal of Forensic & Legal Medicine. 52:130-136, 2017 Nov. Abstract Dental age (DA) has been widely accepted as a way to evaluate chronological age (CA) in recent years. However, the applicability of Willems method, as one of the most popular radiographic ways, still remains controversial in different areas. The aim of this study is to assess the difference between DA and CA with Willems method. Relevant studies published up to February 28th, 2017 were selected via PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM and manual search. Studies that examined Willems dental age and chronological age were selected. 11 articles with 9347 individuals whose age ranged from 3.0 to 18.9 years old were ultimately included in this study. The general polled data indicated that Willems method overestimated CA by 0.18 years and 0.06 years for males and females respectively. Subgroup analysis for ethnicity showed significant difference for different ethnicities. Our aggregated data demonstrated that Willems method may not be an overall applicable tool to estimate chronological age for the reason of the difference of ethnicity and rational validity is suggested when necessary.

[Review] Source Journal of Forensic & Legal Medicine. 52:122-129, 2017 Nov. Abstract BACKGROUND: Age estimation from dental developmental stages is considered comparatively more accurate, reliable and precise than other methods used in forensic sciences. Willems method is the revised version of Demirjian method, based on modified dental maturity scores to estimate age of children in years for both the sexes. AIMS: To test the applicability and accuracy level of Willems method of dental age estimation in diverse population samples by quantifying the variations between the chronological and estimated ages of an individual. METHODOLOGY: A systematic search of online databases (Pubmed, Scopus, Embase, Medline, Trip and Web of Science) was performed for identifying the articles utilizing Willems dental maturity scaling method for age estimation in children. All the research articles published in peer-reviewed English language journals between 2001 and January 2017 were included for present systematic review and meta-analysis.



RESULTS: Out of the total 973 selected articles; thirty one studies were recruited for qualitative analysis and out of them, 15 studies were selected/identified for quantitative and meta-analysis. It was found that Willems method overestimates the age of children to a comparatively lesser extent (-0.04 and -0.02 years) than the Demirjian method (around six months). CONCLUSION: Willems method of dental age estimation gives comparatively lesser overestimations of age than other methods reported in the available literature and is thus, accurate and reliable enough to be utilized for forensic purposes.

Title Accuracy and reproducibility of dental measurements on tomographic digital models: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [Review] Source Dento-Maxillo-Facial Radiology. 46(7):20160455, 2017 Oct. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract OBJECTIVES: The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of dental measurements obtained from digital study models generated from CBCT compared with those acquired from plaster models. METHODS: The electronic databases Cochrane Library, Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, VHL, Web of Science, and System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe were screened to identify articles from 1998 until February 2016. The inclusion criteria were: prospective and retrospective clinical trials in humans; validation and/or comparison articles of dental study models obtained from CBCT and plaster models; and articles that used dental linear measurements as an assessment tool. The methodological quality of the studies was carried out by Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) tool. A meta-analysis was performed to validate all comparative measurements. RESULTS: The databases search identified a total of 3160 items and 554 duplicates were excluded. After reading titles and abstracts, 12 articles were selected. Five articles were included after reading in full. The methodological quality obtained through QUADAS-2 was poor to moderate. In the meta-analysis, there were statistical differences between the mesiodistal widths of mandibular incisors, maxillary canines and premolars, and overall Bolton analysis. Therefore, the measurements considered accurate were maxillary and mandibular crowding, intermolar width and mesiodistal width of maxillary incisors, mandibular canines and premolars, in both arches for molars. CONCLUSIONS: Digital models obtained from CBCT were not accurate for all measures assessed. The differences were clinically acceptable for all dental linear measurements, except for maxillary arch perimeter. Digital models are reproducible for all measurements when intraexaminer assessment is considered and need improvement in interexaminer evaluation. Publication Type Journal Article. Meta-Analysis.

Title The Demirjian versus the Willems method for dental age estimation in different populations: A meta-analysis of published studies. Source PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 12(11):e0186682, 2017. Abstract BACKGROUND: The accuracy of radiographic methods for dental age estimation is important for biological growth research and forensic applications. Accuracy of the two most commonly used systems (Demirjian and Willems) has been evaluated with conflicting results. This study investigates the accuracies of these methods for dental age estimation in different populations. METHODS: A search of PubMed, Scopus, Ovid, Database of Open Access Journals and Google Scholar was undertaken. Eligible studies published before December 28, 2016 were reviewed and analyzed. Meta-analysis was performed on 28 published articles using the Demirjian and/or Willems methods to estimate chronological age in 14,109 children (6,581 males, 7,528 females) age 3-18 years in studies using Demirjian's method and 10,832 children (5,176 males, 5,656 females) age 4-18 years in studies using Willems' method. The weighted mean difference at 95% confidence interval was used to assess accuracies of the two methods in predicting the chronological age. RESULTS: The Demirjian method significantly overestimated chronological age (p<0.05) in males age 3-15 and females age 4-16 when studies were pooled by age cohorts and sex. The majority of studies using Willems' method did not report significant overestimation of ages in either sex. Overall, Demirjian's method significantly overestimated chronological age compared to the Willems method (p<0.05). The weighted mean difference for the Demirjian method was 0.62 for males and 0.72 for females, while that of the Willems method was 0.26 for males and 0.29 for females. CONCLUSION: The Willems method provides more accurate estimation of chronological age in different populations, while Demirjian's method has a broad application in terms of determining maturity scores. However, accuracy of Demirjian age estimations is confounded by population variation when converting maturity scores to dental ages. For highest accuracy of age estimation, population-specific standards, rather than a universal standard or methods developed on other populations, need to be employed.

Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, BDA MEMBERS CAN ALSO ACCESS THIS JOURNAL ONLINE FROM 2011 TO DATE. Go to www.bda.org/ejournals Abstract PURPOSE: The purpose of the present systematic review was to assess the added value of panoramic radiography in predicting postoperative injury of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) in the decision-making before mandibular third molar (MM3) surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched electronically to identify the diagnostic accuracy of studies that had assessed the predictive value of 7 panoramic radiographic signs, including root-related signs (darkening of the root, deflection of the root, narrowing of the root, and dark and bifid apex of the root) and canal-related signs (interruption of the white line of the canal, diversion of the canal, and narrowing of the canal) for IAN injury after MM3 surgery. RESULTS: A total of 8 studies qualified for the meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of the 7 signs ranged from 0.06 to 0.49 and 0.81 to 0.97, respectively. The area under the summary area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 0.42 to 0.89. The pooled positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) ranged from 7.5 to 26.6% and 95.9 to 97.7%, respectively. The added value of a positive sign for ruling in an IAN injury (PPV minus the prior probability) ranged from 3.4 to 22.2%. The added value of a negative sign for ruling out an IAN injury (NPV minus [1 minus the prior probability]) ranged from 0.1 to 2.2%. CONCLUSIONS: For all 7 signs, the added value of panoramic radiography is too low to consider it appropriate for ruling out postoperative IAN in the decision-making before MM3 surgery. The added value of panoramic radiography for determining the presence of diversion of the canal, interruption of the white line of the canal, and darkening of the root can be considered sufficient for ruling in the risk of postoperative IAN injury in the decision-making before MM3 surgery.

A Critical Review. [Review] Source Anticancer Research. 37(10):5383-5388, 2017 10. Abstract Dental X-rays are widely used in clinical practice, since the technique is an important approach for diagnosing diseases in dental and periodontal tissues. However, it is widely known that radiation is capable of causing damage to cellular systems, such as genotoxicity or cytotoxicity. Thus, the aim of this review was to present a critical analysis regarding the studies published on genotoxicity and cytotoxicity induced by dental X-rays in oral mucosa cells. Such studies have revealed that some oral cell types are more sensitive than others following exposure to dental X-rays. Certainly, this review will contribute to a better understanding of this matter as well as to highlighting perspectives for further studies. Ultimately, such data will promote better safety for both patients and dental professionals. Copyright© 2017, International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. George J.

Title Dental, dermatological and radiographic findings in a case of Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome: report and review. [Review] Source The Pan African medical journal. 27:96, 2017. Abstract Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. The disease shows multiple organ involvement with variable clinical presentation. Thus a multidisciplinary approach is required for its prompt clinical diagnosis and management of this condition. This paper highlights a case of GGS presenting in a young male patient with cranial, facial, dermatological, dental and skeletal involvement. The diagnosis of the syndrome was based on its clinical presentation, radiological features and histopathological findings. A review of the diagnostic criteria is also presented.

Go to www.bda.org/ejournals Abstract OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze and describe incidental findings in the cervical spine (C-spine) and the clivus encountered in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. The wide range of possible anatomic variants and pathoses is discussed in the context of the medical and dental literature to clarify their radiographic appearance and clinical implications as a guide for the oral and maxillofacial radiologist. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of radiographic reports was conducted based on CBCT images from 2 oral and maxillofacial imaging centers. Reports documenting incidental findings in the C-spine or the clivus were selected. Data on patient age and sex were collected, and each incidental finding was categorized as degenerative, congenital, or developmental/pathologic. Each finding is discussed with clinical importance and is pictorially presented. RESULTS: From a total of 7689 CBCT reports, there were 732 incidental findings (9.5%) in the C-spine or the clivus. Most findings were in the C-spine (92.3%), were degenerative in nature (78.7%), and occurred in females in their sixth decade. Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds of presenting with a degenerative incidental finding in the C-spine or the clivus did not differ based on sex but were 5.5 times (95% confidence interval, 3.77-8.04) higher if the patient was aged 50 years or older. CONCLUSIONS: This review is the largest and the first to characterize incidental findings in the C-spine and the clivus. Such findings were reported in 9.5% of radiographic reports. Several presented as uncommon congenital variants that are not usually spotlighted during oral and maxillofacial radiology training. Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Abstract 3D Multislice and Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in forensic odontology has been shown to be useful not only in terms of one or a few of dead bodies but also in multiple fatality incidents. 3D Multislice and Cone-beam computed tomography and digital radiography were demonstrated in a forensic examination form. 3D images of the skull and teeth were analysed and validated for long ante mortem/post mortem intervals. The image acquisition was instantaneous; the images were able to be optically enlarged, measured, superimposed and compared prima vista or using special software and exported as a file. Digital radiology and computer tomography has been shown to be important both in common criminalistics practices and in multiple fatality incidents. Our study demonstrated that CBCT imaging offers less image artifacts, low image reconstruction times, mobility of the unit and considerably lower equipment cost. Publication Type Journal Article.

Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract Over the last 15 years, cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging has emerged as an important supplemental radiographic technique for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, especially in situations which require an understanding of the complex anatomic relationships and surrounding structures of the maxillofacial skeleton. CBCT imaging provides unique features and advantages to enhance orthodontic practice over conventional extraoral radiographic imaging. While it is the responsibility of each practitioner to make a decision, in tandem with the patient/family, consensus-derived, evidence-based clinical guidelines are available to assist the clinician in the decision-making process. Specific recommendations provide selection guidance based on variables such as phase of treatment, clinically-assessed treatment difficulty, the presence of dental and/or skeletal modifying conditions, and pathology. CBCT imaging in orthodontics should always be considered wisely as children have conservatively, on average, a three to five times greater radiation risk compared with adults for the same exposure. The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of the operation of CBCT equipment as it relates to image quality and dose, highlight the benefits of the technique in orthodontic practice, and provide guidance on appropriate clinical use with respect to radiation dose and relative risk, particularly for the paediatric patient.

Title Quality assurance phantoms for cone beam computed tomography: a systematic literature review. [Review] Source Dento-Maxillo-Facial Radiology. 46(3):20160329, 2017 Mar. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract OBJECTIVES: To undertake a systematic review on quality assurance (QA) phantoms for CBCT imaging, including studies on the development and application of phantoms. METHODS: The MEDLINE (PubMed) bibliographic database was searched until May 2016 for studies evaluating the development and use of phantoms in CBCT image QA. The search strategy was restricted to English language publications using the following combined terms: (Cone Beam CT) OR (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) OR (Cone-Beam Computed Tomography) OR (CBCT) AND (quality OR phantom). It was assessed which of the six image quality parameters stated by the European Commission could be evaluated with each phantom and which of them actually were. RESULTS: The search strategy yielded 37 studies, which had developed and used (25 studies) or only used (12 studies) a phantom in CBCT image QA. According to the literature, in 7 phantoms, it is possible to evaluate 4 or more image quality parameters while in 11 phantoms, merely 1 parameter can be evaluated. Only two phantoms permit the evaluation of the six image quality parameters stated by the European Commission. The parameters, which can most often be evaluated using a phantom, are image density values, spatial resolution and geometric accuracy. The SEDENTEXCT phantom was used most frequently. In two studies, all quality parameters suggested by the European Commission were evaluated. CONCLUSIONS: QA phantoms rarely allow all image quality parameters stated by the European Commission to be evaluated. Furthermore, alternative phantoms, which allow all image quality parameters to be evaluated in a single exposure, even for a small field of view, should be developed.

[Review] Source International Journal of Legal Medicine. 131(1):225-233, 2017 Jan. Abstract To maintain the principle of sporting fairness and to protect the health of athletes, it is essential that age limits for youth sporting competitions are complied with. Forensic scientists have developed validated procedures for age estimation in living individuals. Methods have also been published for age estimation in competitive sports. These methods make use of the ossification stage of




an epiphyseal plate to draw conclusions about an athlete's age. This article presents published work on the use of magnetic resonance imaging for age estimation in competitive sports. In addition, it looks at the effect on age estimation of factors such as an athlete's socioeconomic status, the use of hormones and anabolic substances as well as chronic overuse of the growth plates. Finally, recommendations on the components required for a valid age estimation procedure in competitive sports are suggested. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

[Review] Source Imaging Science in Dentistry. 46(3):147-57, 2016 Sep. Abstract This review article aimed to introduce a category of jaw lesions associated with impacted tooth. General search engines and specialized databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, MedLine Plus, Science Direct, Scopus, and well-recognized textbooks were used to find relevant studies using keywords such as "jaw lesion", "jaw disease", "impacted tooth", and "unerupted tooth". More than 250 articles were found, of which approximately 80 were broadly relevant to the topic. We ultimately included 47 articles that were closely related to the topic of interest. When the relevant data were compiled, the following 10 lesions were identified as having a relationship with impacted tooth: dentigerous cysts, calcifying odontogenic cysts, unicystic (mural) ameloblastomas, ameloblastomas, ameloblastic fibromas, adenomatoid odontogenic tumors, keratocystic odontogenic tumors, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors, ameloblastic fibro-odontomas, and odontomas. When clinicians encounter a lesion associated with an impacted tooth, they should first consider these entities in the differential diagnosis. This will help dental practitioners make more accurate diagnoses and develop better treatment plans based on patients' radiographs. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

Title Cone-Beam Computed Tomography for Detection of Intrabony and Furcation Defects: A Systematic Review Based on a Hierarchical Model for Diagnostic Efficacy. Source Journal of Periodontology. 87(6):630-44, 2016 06. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract BACKGROUND: The aim of this review is to assess the diagnostic efficacy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the diagnosis of and/or treatment planning for intrabony and furcation defects, using a well-known six-tiered hierarchical model for diagnostic efficacy. METHODS: The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library bibliographic databases were searched until August 2015 for studies evaluating CBCT imaging for the diagnosis of and/or treatment planning for intrabony and/or furcation defects. The search strategy was restricted to English language publications using the combination of MeSH terms, free terms, and key words.




RESULTS: The search strategy yielded 16 publications that qualitatively or quantitatively evaluated the use of CBCT for the detection of intrabony and/or furcation defects and how CBCT influenced the diagnosis and/or treatment plan. According to Quality Assessment of Studies of Diagnostic Accuracy-2, all included studies were medium to low risk of bias. The review identified only one study that investigated the societal efficacy, and none evaluated the patient outcome efficacy or therapeutic efficacy. One study investigated the diagnostic thinking efficacy. All other included studies investigated the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT. CONCLUSIONS: From the assessed studies, it can be concluded that there is not sufficient scientific evidence to justify the use of CBCT for the diagnosis of and/or treatment planning for intrabony and furcation defects. Furthermore, the effectiveness of CBCT for such diagnostic tasks has been assessed only at low diagnostic efficacy levels. Publication Type Journal Article. Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't.

Abstract Knowledge of the different anatomical variations in root canal system of dedicious dentition will improve the practice of the pediatric dentists. The teeth with C-shaped root canal configurations are definitely a problem in endodontic treatment. Dentists who are specialists of endodontics must have adequate knowledge about various root canal morphologies of primary tooth that have a tendency for rapid progression of dental caries to achieve a technically satisfactory outcome. This report presents an extraordinary case of unusual tooth morphology involving the mandibular first primary molar with a C-shaped configuration which has not yet been reported.

Title Diagnostic accuracy of direct digital radiography and conventional radiography for proximal caries detection in primary teeth: A systematic review. [Review] Source Journal of the Indian Society of Pedodontics & Preventive Dentistry. 34(4):300-5, 2016 Oct-Dec. Abstract OBJECTIVE: The present study was conducted to uncover the diagnostic accuracy of digital versus conventional radiographic methods for the detection of proximal caries in primary teeth. METHODS: Two researchers independently involved in the search process to explore Medical Subject Heading terms "dental digital radiography," "dental radiography," "bitewing," "dental caries," and "primary teeth" using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Ovid SP, and SIGLE databases. Search was confined to the articles published in English language only, with time period limit January 1996 to April 2014 and a hand search was performed to retrieve additional citations. Explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to eliminate undesired studies. Critical appraisal of the retrieved articles was done using the quality rating based on Bader and co-workers criteria. RESULTS: A total of 129 articles were retrieved, among which 4 articles were included. All the four studies included were in vitro, of which two studies attained a high-quality score, whereas the other two attained average, and low scores based on Bader et al.'s criteria. CONCLUSIONS: A big lacuna exists in the literature, regarding the evaluation of radiographic systems in primary teeth, suggesting an immediate need for well conducted in vivo studies. The quality of available evidence can be regarded as fair but cannot be suggested to set a baseline, indicating a need to perform high-quality studies in a randomized sample to find out the accuracy of digital and conventional radiographs.

Go to www.bda.org/ejournals Abstract OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to review all cases referred for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to the department of dental radiology at the Leeds Dental Institute to aid diagnosis of root resorption associated with impacted canines. We aimed to establish if referral for and reporting of these CBCT assessments were in compliance with current guidelines. In addition, we introduced a new and innovative tool to aid reporting of CBCT images of root resorption associated with an impacted tooth. All plain film radiographs taken before CBCT were reviewed to determine if root resorption was evident or suspected from the plain film radiographs. STUDY DESIGN: Root resorption was recorded from plain film radiographs taken before CBCT by using a resorption scale designed by the authors for assessing root resorption associated with impacted canines (Two-Dimensional Leeds Resorption Scale). CBCT radiography reports of all cases were reviewed to identify cases with confirmed root resorption. RESULTS: All cases referred for CBCT were compliant with guidelines relating to referrals and reporting. CONCLUSIONS: CBCT provided improved detection rates (63%) of root resorption associated with impacted canines. The resorption scale developed by the authors (Three-Dimensional Leeds Orthodontic Root Resorption Target Scale) is intended to address the subjective nature of reporting of CBCT images taken to assess root resorption associated with impacted teeth.

Title Effectiveness of E-Learning in Oral Radiology Education: A Systematic Review. [Review] Source



Journal of Dental Education. 80(9):1126-39, 2016 Sep. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY UP TO 2011, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract E-learning has been used recently in dental curricula to support traditional learning methods. However, the published literature concerning e-learning in oral radiology has shown mixed conclusions. The aim of this systematic review was to provide a synthesis of the effectiveness of e-learning in oral radiology education when compared with traditional classroom learning methods. A search of the literature was conducted on the LILACS, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Trials registries were also consulted for ongoing trials, and a partial grey literature search was conducted. Controlled trials about oral radiology education that compared any e-learning method with a control group using any traditional classroom instruction method were included. E-learning effectiveness was measured using three outcomes from Kirkpatrick's model of evaluation: attitudes about e-learning, knowledge gain, and performance on clinical procedures. Data were analyzed descriptively. Qualitative appraisal was performed according to the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials and MINORS tool for non-randomized trials. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria. Risk of bias was identified related to the selection procedures, blinding, lack of sample size calculation, and incomplete analyses. Ten studies reported that students had positive attitude when using e-learning. Results from the knowledge gain outcome were mixed. Only two studies examined performance on clinical procedures, showing contrasting results. The evidence reviewed in this study suggests that e-learning in oral radiology is at least as effective as traditional learning methods and that students have positive attitudes about e-learning.

Title Temporal High-Resolution Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Congenital Inner Ear Anomalies in Children. [Review] Source Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. 27(7):e632-e636, 2016 Oct. Abstract Imaging plays an important role in determining indications of cochlear implantation and choosing candidates for the procedure in children. Temporal high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can display precisely the complex anatomic structure of inner ear. Although HRCT permits detailed imaging of bony structures, MRI gives valuable information about membranous labyrinth, internal acoustic canal, and vestibulocochlear nerve. Magnetic resonance imaging examination of the brain should be performed at the same time to evaluate any coexistent brain parenchymal abnormality. These imaging modalities are complementary methods in evaluating congenital inner ear anomalies. The aim of this pictorial essay is to reviewing temporal HRCT and MRI findings of congenital inner ear anomalies. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

Title Preoperative radiological evaluation of missing single teeth: A review. [Review] Source European Journal of Oral Implantology. 9 Suppl 1:S69-88, 2016. Abstract AIMS: Missing single teeth can be treated in several ways and preoperative radiological evaluation varies accordingly. The main area of controversy relates to the need for cross-sectional imaging in the context of implant treatment. In this context, the aim of the systematic component of this review was to determine whether the use of additional cross-sectional imaging has any impact on diagnostic thinking, treatment planning or outcome, compared with conventional imaging alone. An additional aim was to present information relating to diagnostic efficacy, dose of radiation, economic aspects of imaging and selection criteria.




MATERIALS AND METHODS: PubMed/MEDLINE, OVID/Embase and the Cochrane central register of controlled trials were searched up to and including June 2015. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they compared the impact of conventional and cross-sectional imaging when placing implants. Quality assessment of studies was performed. Synthesis was qualitative. RESULTS: Twelve studies were included, all of which had a 'before-after' design. Only three of these were limited to single implant treatments with none limited to immediate implants. There were methodological problems with most of the studies and results were sometimes contradictory regarding the impact of cross-sectional imaging. CONCLUSIONS: It is tentatively suggested that cross-sectional imaging may not be required in straightforward, unchallenging, cases of missing single teeth being considered for implant treatment. Beyond this, no strong evidence exists to inform the choice of imaging. Existing guidelines on preoperative imaging for missing single teeth are not unanimous in their recommendations, either for implant or non-implant treatments. Publication Type Journal Article.

METHODS: The MEDLINE (PubMed) bibliographic database was searched for a period up to June 2015 for studies evaluating patient movement and/or motion artefacts in CBCT. The search strategy was restricted to English language publications using the following combined terms: (movement OR motion) AND (CBCT OR cone beam CT). RESULTS: The search strategy yielded eight publications, which qualitatively or quantitatively evaluated patient movement and/or patient motion artefacts in CBCT. CONCLUSIONS: The literature suggests that patient movement usually presents itself in CBCT images as stripe-like and ring-like patterns, double bone contours, and overall lack of sharpness. Studies monitoring patients during CBCT examination reported a prevalence of movement in approximately 20% of the cases, and studies based on image artefact recognition to define patient movement reported prevalence as high as 41.5%. There seems to be a consensus on the fact that young patients (children and adolescents) often move during the examination. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

[Review] Source Journal of Endodontics. 42(3):356-64, 2016 Mar. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, BDA MEMBERS CAN ALSO ACCESS THIS JOURNAL ONLINE FROM 2011 TO DATE. Go to www.bda.org/ejournals Abstract INTRODUCTION: Endodontic diagnosis depends on accurate radiographic examination. Assessment of the location and extent of apical periodontitis (AP) can influence treatment planning and subsequent treatment outcomes. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the diagnostic accuracy of conventional radiography and cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging on the discrimination of AP from no lesion. METHODS: Eight electronic databases with no language or time limitations were searched. Articles in which the primary objective was to evaluate the accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of any type of radiographic technique to assess AP in humans were selected. The gold standard was the histologic examination for actual AP (in vivo) or in situ visualization of bone defects for induced artificial AP (in vitro). Accuracy measurements described in the studies were transformed to construct receiver operating characteristic curves and forest plots with the aid of Review Manager v.5.2 (The Nordic Cochrane Centre, Copenhagen, Denmark) and MetaDisc v.1.4. software (Unit of Clinical Biostatistics Team of the Ramon y Cajal Hospital, Madrid, Spain). The methodology of the selected studies was evaluated using the Quality Assessment Tool for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2. RESULTS: Only 9 studies met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to a qualitative analysis. A meta-analysis was conducted on 6 of these articles. All of these articles studied artificial AP with induced bone defects. The accuracy values (area under the curve) were 0.96 for CBCT imaging, 0.73 for conventional periapical radiography, and 0.72 for digital periapical radiography. No evidence was found for panoramic radiography. CONCLUSIONS: Periapical radiographs (digital and conventional) reported good diagnostic accuracy on the discrimination of artificial AP from no lesions, whereas CBCT imaging showed excellent accuracy values.

METHODS: This review is based on pertinent articles retrieved by a selective search in the PubMed and MEDPILOT databases, supplemented by relevant recommendations and by the findings of the authors' own research. RESULTS: The essential components of age estimation are the history, physical examination, X-rays of the hands, panorama films of the jaws, and, if indicated, a thin-slice CT of the medial clavicular epiphyses, provided that there is a legal basis for X-ray examinations without a medical indication. Multiple methods are always used in combination, for optimal accuracy. Depending on the legal issues at hand, the examiner may be asked to estimate the individual's minimum age and/or his or her most probable age. The minimum-age concept can be used in determinations whether an individual has reached the age of legal majority. It is designed to ensure that practically all persons classified as adults have, in fact, attained legal majority, even though some other persons will be incorrectly classified as minors. CONCLUSION: Forensic age estimation lets courts and other government authorities determine the official age of persons whose actual age is unknown-in most cases, unaccompanied refugees who may be minors. The goal is to carry out age-dependent legal procedures appropriately in accordance with the rule of law. The minimum-age concept is designed to prevent the erroneous classification of minors as legal adults. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

Title Dose optimization by altering the operating potential and tube current exposure time product in dental cone beam CT: a systematic review. [Review] Source Dento-Maxillo-Facial Radiology. 45(3):20150254, 2016. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract OBJECTIVES: Current guidelines highlight the need to optimize exposure parameters on CBCT equipment to levels that are as low as diagnostically acceptable. This systematic review aimed to answer the question "Can altering operating potential (kV) and tube current exposure time product (mAs) on CBCT machines reduce radiation dose to patients undergoing dental and/or maxillofacial scans without a detrimental impact on image quality/diagnostic accuracy?" METHODS: Studies were selected and results reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. For each individual study, two authors (RG and JD or KH) independently extracted data using a specifically designed collection form, and an overall quality value was assigned using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. Any disagreements in the overall quality value of a study were resolved by discussion between the current authors. RESULTS: Nearly 75% of studies were considered to be of low or very low methodological quality using the GRADE system, and more studies stated that their results applied only in the specific situations they had investigated. However, most studies demonstrated that patient dose reduction is possible without a clinically relevant reduction in image quality.




CONCLUSIONS: For many CBCT machines, it should be possible to optimize one, or more, of the investigated exposure parameters and therefore reduce patient radiation dose, while maintaining diagnostic image quality for some diagnostic tasks. However, more rigorous research is still required. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

Title Role of Cone-beam Computed Tomography in Diagnosis of Vertical Root Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. [Review] Source Journal of Endodontics. 42(1):12-24, 2016 Jan. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, BDA MEMBERS CAN ALSO ACCESS THIS JOURNAL ONLINE FROM 2011 TO DATE. Go to www.bda.org/ejournals Abstract INTRODUCTION: The detection of vertical root fractures (VRFs) is a significant challenge for clinicians. Cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging has been used recently in this field with high accuracy and sensitivity. Research results about its superiority over periapical radiographs (PRs) are mixed and inconclusive. The aim of this review and meta-analysis was to provide evidence about the accuracy of CBCT imaging in diagnosing VRFs in human teeth with and without endodontic treatment compared with conventional/digital radiography and to establish optimal imaging parameters for accurate VRF detection using CBCT imaging through a systematic approach. METHODS: A search for eligible studies was conducted from January 1990 to November 2013 in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis checklists were used to assess the quality of the included studies. Statistical pooling of sensitivity, specificity, and the diagnostic odds ratio were calculated using random effects meta-analysis model and depicted through paired forest plots. The presence of heterogeneity of the included studies was also estimated. RESULTS: Eleven studies qualified for systematic review, and 4 studies were considered for meta-analysis. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, and the diagnostic odds ratio of CBCT imaging and PR in filled and unfilled teeth were as follows: CBCT imaging (filled): 0.752, 0.652, and 5.527; PRs (filled): 0.242, 0.961, and 8.586; CBCT imaging (unfilled): 0.776, 0.946, and 94.26; and PRs (unfilled): 0.425, 0.939, and 14.42, respectively. Overall, studies presented heterogeneity varying from moderate to high. CONCLUSIONS: Results showed better sensitivity and specificity of CBCT scans than PRs in the detection of VRFs in unfilled teeth, particularly when a voxel size of 0.2 mm was used. Low pooled sensitivity and specificity of CBCT imaging was noted in detecting VRFs in endodontically treated teeth. Copyright © 2016 American Association of Endodontists. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Title Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for diagnosis and treatment planning in periodontology: A systematic review. [Review] Source Quintessence International. 47(1):25-37, 2016 Jan. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract OBJECTIVE: The improvement in diagnostic accuracy and optimization of treatment planning in periodontology through the use of three-dimensional imaging with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is discussed controversially in the literature. The objective was to identify the best available external evidence for the indications of CBCT for periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning in specific clinical situations. DATA SOURCES: A systematic literature search was performed for articles published by 2 March 2015 using electronic databases and hand search. Two reviewers performed the study selection, data collection, and validity assessment. PICO and PRISMA criteria were applied. From the combined search, seven studies were finally included. CONCLUSION: The case series were published from the years 2009 to 2014. Five of the included publications refer to maxillary and/or mandibular molars and two to aspects related to vertical bony defects. Two studies show a high accuracy of CBCT in detecting intrabony defect morphology when compared to periapical radiographs. Particularly, in maxillary molars, CBCT provides high accuracy for detecting furcation involvement and morphology of surrounding periodontal tissues. CBCT has demonstrated advantages, when more invasive treatment approaches were considered in terms of decision making and cost benefit. Within their limits, the available data suggest that CBCT may improve diagnostic accuracy and optimize treatment planning in periodontal defects, particularly in maxillary molars with furcation involvement, and that the higher irradiation doses and cost-benefit ratio should be carefully analyzed before using CBCT for periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning.

[Review] Source Australian Dental Journal. 61(3):277-81, 2016 Sep. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract The purpose of this article was to review the literature and provide guidelines on the use of radiation protection for patients in the dental setting. There are limited published data on the effects of low radiation doses such as those used in dental radiology. Most of the evidence is subject to bias, with risk models extrapolated from higher dose models such as studies of the Hiroshima bomb survivors. However, the lack of evidence does not denote the absence of risk, as there is no established 'safe' level of radiation exposure. All imaging utilizing ionizing radiation carries a risk for the patient. Hence the patient benefits of imaging must outweigh the potential risk. All diagnostic imaging should adhere to three basic principles, these being justification, optimization and application of dose limits. This article discusses dose reduction techniques and shielding of sensitive organs, particularly the thyroid, during procedures such as intraoral imaging, orthopantomograms and imaging of the pregnant patient.

Go to www.bda.org/ejournals Abstract INTRODUCTION: A vertical root fracture (VRF), commonly found in teeth with endodontic treatment, is challenging to diagnose and has poor treatment outcomes. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an increasingly popular imaging modality in endodontics, but image artifacts arising from root-filling materials may hinder VRF detection. The aim of this investigation was to conduct a systematic review to assess the diagnostic ability of CBCT for detecting VRFs in endodontically treated teeth. METHODS: A systematic review of in vivo clinical diagnostic literature (initial search December 2014, updated August 2015) was conducted. Assessment of methodological quality was performed by using the modified Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool. RESULTS: Four studies with a total of 130 patients were included. The reported ranges of values were 40%-90% for VRF prevalence, 84% (0.64-0.95) to 100% (0.83-1.00) for sensitivity, 64% (0.35-0.87) to 100% (0.03-1.00) for specificity, 71% (0.51-0.87) to 100% (0.63-1.00) for positive predictive value, and 50% (0.01-0.99) to 100% (0.84-1.00) for negative predictive value. All 4 studies revealed multiple items at high risk or unclear risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS: Because of the significant imprecision in the range of reported estimates and the biases observed in the included studies, there is currently insufficient evidence to suggest that CBCT is a reliable test in detecting VRFs in endodontically treated teeth.

Go to www.bda.org/ejournals Abstract Teeth are housed in mandible and maxilla and are known to undergo variations in clinical presentation depending on the degree of abnormality during growth and development. It is essential to identify these variations in normal anatomy so that appropriate treatment can be initiated to address the anomaly. Some normal anatomic variations are harmless and best left alone, whereas





others require intervention. Radiology plays a vital role in identification of such anomalies. This article focuses on the diagnostic radiographic interpretation and strategies to include pertinent differential diagnosis. Also discussed is the importance of advanced imaging and its appropriateness in the diagnosis and interpretation. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Publication Type Journal Article.

Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, BDA MEMBERS CAN ALSO ACCESS THIS JOURNAL ONLINE FROM 2011 TO DATE. Go to www.bda.org/ejournals Abstract PURPOSE: The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons appointed a task force to study the indications, safety, and clinical practice patterns of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS). The charge





was to review the published applications of CBCT in OMS, identify the current position of academic thought leaders in the field, and research the adoption and usage of the technology at the clinical practitioner level. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study reviewed the CBCT world literature and summarized published indications for the modality. A nationwide survey of academic thought leaders and practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeons was compiled to determine how the modality is currently being used and adopted by institutions and practices. RESULTS: This report summarizes published applications of CBCT that have been vetted by the academic and practicing OMS community to define current indications. The parameters of patient safety, radiation exposure, accreditation, and legal issues are reviewed. An overview of third-party adoption of CBCT is presented. CONCLUSION: CBCT is displacing 2-dimensional imaging in the published literature, academia, and private practice. Best practices support reading the entire scan volume with a written report defining results, patient exposure, and field of view. Issues of patient safety, ALARA ("as low as reasonably achievable"), accreditation, and the legal and regulatory environment are reviewed. Third-party patterns for reimbursements vary widely and seem to lack consistency. There is much confusion within the provider community about indications, authorizations, and payment policies. The current medical and dental indications for CBCT in the clinical practice of OMS are reviewed and an industry guideline is proposed. These guidelines offer a clear way of differentiating consensus medical indications and common dental uses for clinicians. This matrix should bring a predictable logic to third-party authorizations, billing, and predictable payments for this emerging technology in OMS.

Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract OBJECTIVES: To investigate the anatomical variations of the mandibular canal through assessment in situ, panoramic radiography, CT or CBCT and assess their frequency. METHODS: Articles were selected from databases (Cochrane Library, LILACS, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar), articles without limitations of language, in which the main objective was to evaluate the frequency of bifurcation of the mandibular canal through assessment in situ, panoramic radiography, CT or CBCT were selected. A meta-analysis of prevalence using random effects was performed. RESULTS: Using a selection process in two phases, 15 articles were identified, and a meta-analysis was conducted. The results from these meta-analyses showed that the overall prevalence of anatomical variations for in situ studies was 6.46%, and through assessment of panoramic radiography and CT or CBCT the overall prevalence shown was 4.20% and 16.25%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: There are two types of variations of the mandibular canal: the retromolar canal and bifid mandibular canal. The frequency variations through assessing in situ, panoramic radiography and CT or CBCT were 6.46%, 4.20% and 16.25%, respectively. Publication Type

Title Evaluation of root canal morphology of human primary molars by using CBCT and comprehensive review of the literature. [Review] Source Acta Odontologica Scandinavica. 74(4):250-8, 2016. Local Messages THIS JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN THE BDA LIBRARY, TO REQUEST THIS ARTICLE FROM THE LIBRARY GO TO: https://www.bda.org/library/journals-articles/Documents/photocopy-request-form.pdf Abstract OBJECTIVE: Knowledge of primary tooth morphology is essential for clinical dentistry, especially for root canal treatment and dental traumatology. However, this has not been well documented to date with a large sample. This study was carried out to investigate the variation in number and morphology of the root canals of the primary molars, to study the applicability of cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) in assessing the same and to provide a comprehensive review of the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 343 primary molars, without any root resorption, were divided into four main groups including the maxillary first molars, maxillary second molars, mandibular first molars and mandibular second molars. All of them were analysed in CBCT images in the axial, sagittal and coronal planes. Various parameters such as the number of roots, number of canals, the root canal type, diameter of root and root canal and root canal curvature were studied. RESULTS: Primary molars in all four groups showed variability in the number of roots and root canals. As far as length of the roots was concerned, the palatal root of the maxillary molar was found to be longest, while the distobuccal root was shortest. In mandibular molars, the mesial root was longer than the distal root. The length of distobuccal root canal of the maxillary molars and the distolingual canal of the mandibular molars was found to be shortest. The number of roots and root canals varied from two to four and three to four, respectively. The maxillary molars exhibited more one-canal than two-canal roots. CONCLUSION: The present study provides comprehensive information to the existing literature concerning the variation in root canal morphology of the maxillary and mandibular primary molar teeth. These data may help clinicians in the root canal treatment of these teeth. Publication Type Journal Article. Review.

Abstract The aim of this review was to evaluate whether CBCT is reliable for the detection of root fractures in teeth without root fillings, and whether the voxel size has an impact on diagnostic accuracy. The studies published in PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, CNKI and Wanfang up to May 2014 were the data source. Studies on nonroot filled teeth with the i-CAT (n = 8) and 3D Accuitomo CBCT (n = 5) units were eventually selected. In the studies on i-CAT, the pooled sensitivity was 0.83 and the pooled specificity was 0.91; in the 3D Accuitomo studies, the pooled sensitivity was 0.95 and pooled specificity was 0.96. The i-CAT group comprised 5 voxel size subgroups and the 3D Accuitomo group contained 2 subgroups. For the i-CAT group, there was a significant difference amongst the five subgroups (0.125, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3 and 0.4 mm; P = 0.000). Pairwise comparison revealed that 0.125 mm voxel subgroup was significantly different from those of 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3 mm voxel subgroups, but not from the 0.4 mm voxel subgroup. There were no significant differences amongst any other two subgroups (by alpha' = 0.005). No significant difference was found between 0.08 mm and 0.125 mm voxel subgroups (P = 0.320) for the 3D Accuitomo group. The present review confirms the detection accuracy of root fractures in CBCT images, but does not support the concept that voxel size may play a role in improving the detection accuracy of root fractures in nonroot filled teeth.

Title Systematic method for initial rapid analysis of maxillofacial computed tomography scans for surgeons in training. Source ANZ Journal of Surgery. 86(3):184-7, 2016 Mar. Abstract BACKGROUND: Reading maxillofacial computed tomography (CT) scans is a basic skill for any surgeon who operates on the face. A standard systematic approach for how to read a maxillofacial CT scan from a surgeon's perspective is lacking in literature, particularly for those in the early stages of training. We present a method of initial rapid analysis which our residents in training have responded to and report to be conceptually simple to apply. METHODS: The senior author reviewed over 250 consults for face trauma and performed a detailed composite of the most common elements of each consult as well as the clinically relevant decision points. These elements were then bundled into a conceptual sketch of the skull-face-mandible with an accompanying standardized clinical data list. The new residents were then guided through a systematic approach to reading the scans while sketching the injuries identified. The authors then performed a survey to establish if the new method was helpful to early learners prior to and after adoption of the method. The survey consisted of five questions regarding the utility of the method for analysis of reading maxillofacial CT. RESULTS: In total, seven residents were surveyed; 100% thought the technique made reading facial CT easier, 100% thought this method was easy to teach to junior residents and 86% found the analysis of facial CT easier and helped their surgical decision making. CONCLUSION: We present a systematic method for surgeons to evaluate facial CT scans. This is the first published account of methodology for maxillofacial CT analysis for surgeons.
