USAGE OF CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN DENTISTRY

Abstract

Purpose: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is the most current and newest imaging method in dentistry. Since low radiation dose and true 3D image acquisition, use of CBCT is becoming increasingly common. The aim of this study is to determine demographic information and indications of the patients taken CBCT Material and Method: In the current study, a total of 843 patients’ CBCT (i-CAT; Imaging Sciences International, Hatfield, PA, USA). The patients were divided into subgroups according to their age, gender, and radiographic indications. The descriptive statistics was used to review the data. Result: A total of 843 patients’ CBCT were examined retrospectively. Out of the 843 patients, 453 were female and 390 were male. Average age of these patients was 29,7. 1/3 of the DVT was taken form 11 ages to 20 ages patients. Out of the 843 patients, 252 had partial or total edentulous jaws, 218 had orthodontic anomalies. TMJ disorders and impacted teeth were followed up them. Conclusion: The use of the CBCT has been increased day by day. Especially in implant and impacted teeth surgery and orthodontics, it widely used. In addition, CBCT’s were mostly taken from young patients

DİŞ HEKİMLİĞİNDE KONİK IŞINLI BİLGİSAYARLI TOMOGRAFİ KULLANIMI

Abstract

Konik Işınlı Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (KIBT) diş hekiminin gündeminde olan en yeni ve ileri görüntüleme yöntemidir. Özellikle düşük ışınlama parametreleri ve üç boyutlu görüntülerin elde edilebilmesinden dolayı KIBT kullanımı giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Dicle Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Anabilim Dalına KIBT çekimi için başvuran hastaların demografik dağılımını ve çekim nedenlerini belirlemektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada radyoloji bölümüne başvuran toplam 843 hastanın KIBT’leri (i-CAT; Imaging Sciences International, Hatfield, PA, USA) geriye dönük olarak taranmıştır. Hastalar yaşa, cinsiyete ve çekim nedenlerine göre gruplandırılmıştır. Elde edilen verilere göre tanımlayıcı istatistikler (aritmetik ortalama, yüzdeler) kullanılarak sonuçlar değerlendirilmiştir.

Bulgular: Toplam 843 hastanın KIBT’leri değerlendirildi. Hastalardan 453’ü kadın iken 390’ı erkek idi. Ortalama yaş 29,7 idi. Alınan KIBT’lerin 1/3’ü 11-20 yaşları arasında idi. Hastaların 252’i kısmi veya tam dişsiz iken, 218’inde ortodontik anomali mevcuttu. Bunları TME problemleri ve gömülü dişler izlemekte idi.

Sonuç: KIBT’lerin kullanımı günümüzde giderek artmaktadır. Özellikle implant ve gömülü diş cerrahisinde ve ortodontide yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. KIBT imajları çoğunlukla genç hastalardan elde edilmektedir.
