Year 2018, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 6 - 11, 29.06.2018

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this retrospective study was to identify

the prevalence and properties of pneumatized articular eminence

(PAT) in a group of Turkish population using CBCT.

Material and Methods: The subjects for this retrospective

study consisted of all 300 adult patients who referred to the

Department of Oral Diagnosis and Radiology, Marmara University

Faculty of Dentistry, and underwent a single CBCT examination

from 2016 to 2017. Age and gender were noted for all patients,

and for the cases of pnuematization, sides and type were recorded.

Results: Of the 300 patients, 98 (32,0%) had PAT, of whom

43 were female and 55 were male. PAT was seen 14% on bilateral

sides, 10% on the right side and 8.7% on the left side. 51% of

those which had pneumatization were unilocular and 49% were

multilocular

Conclusion: CBCT images are a true and confident tool for the

exploration of the definite size and pattern of pneumatization and

the relationship of pnuematization to the adjacent tissue. In case

of surgical treatment is planned or for the differential diagnosis of

suspected cases, panoramic radiographs should be supported with

CBCT.

Abstract

ÖZ:

Giriş: Bu retrospektif çalışmanın amacı bir grup Türk

popülasyonunda pnömatize artiküler eminens (PAT) prevalansını

ve özelliklerini konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografide (KI BT)

incelemektir.

Materyal ve Metod: Bu retrospektif çalışma, 2016’dan

2017’ye kadar KI BT incelemesi yapılan, Marmara Üniversitesi

Dişhekimliği Fakültesi Oral Diagnoz ve Radyoloji Anabilim

Dalı’na başvuran 300 yetişkin hastadan oluşmaktadır. Çalışamaya

dahil edilen tüm hastaların yaş ve cinsiyetleri kaydedilmiş ve

pnömatizasyon gözlemlenen durumlarda,pnömatizasyon tarafları

ve tipler kaydedilmiştir.

Bulgular: 300 hastanın içinde; 43’ü kadın, 55’i erkek olan 98

vakada (% 32,0) PAT gözlenmiştir. PAT, bilateral % 14, sağda%

10, solda% 8.7 olarak saptanmıştır. Pnömatizasyon izlenenlerin %

51’i uniloküler,% 49’u multilokülerdir.

Sonuç: KI BT görüntüleri, boyutların tam olarak

belirlenmesinde, pnömatizasyon paterninin incelenmesinde ve

komşu dokular ile ilişkisinin araştırılması için doğru ve güvenilir

bir araçtır. Cerrahi tedavi planlanmasında veya şüphelenilen

vakaların ayırıcı tanısında panoramik radyografiler KI BT ile

desteklenmelidir.
