Evaluation Of Trabecular Bone Around The Impacted Maxillary Canine On Cbct Images By Fractal Analysis, Zeynep Betül Arslan, Berrin Çelik
Evaluation Of Trabecular Bone Around The Impacted Maxillary Canine On Cbct Images By Fractal Analysis, Zeynep Betül Arslan, Berrin Çelik
Journal of Dentistry Indonesia
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the position, angulation and surrounding trabecular bone structure of a unilateral impacted maxillary canine (IMC) tooth using fractal analysis. Methods: Cone beam computed tomography images of 50 patients (38 female, 12 male) with unilateral IMC were selected for this retrospective study. A 25x25 pixel region of interest (ROI) was selected in the trabecular bone between the premolars on the impacted and non-impacted side and fractal analysis was conducted. The angulation of unilateral impacted canines was measured and the position was categorized as vestibular, intra-alveolar and palatal. Results: Of …
Three-Dimensional Analysis Of Condylar Displacement After Orthognathic Surgery In Patients With Facial Asymmetry, Teresa Bae
Theses & Dissertations
Facial asymmetry is apparent when there is a clinically significant variation between the two halves of the face. There can be varying degrees of facial asymmetry and mild asymmetry can be treated by orthodontics alone. For severe facial asymmetry a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery may be necessary. The condyle must be in a stable position following surgery to have functional and structural stability and prevent relapse. This research proposal is to perform a retrospective CBCT study on the displacement of the condyle following orthognathic surgery in patients with facial asymmetry. The CBCTs were obtained from Taipei Veterans General …
Assessment Of The Effects Of Edentulousness On Temporomandibular Components By Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Büşra Arıkan, Numan Dedeoğlu, Şuayip Burak Duman
Assessment Of The Effects Of Edentulousness On Temporomandibular Components By Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Büşra Arıkan, Numan Dedeoğlu, Şuayip Burak Duman
Journal of Dentistry Indonesia
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of edentulousness on the temporomandibular joint using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: In this study, CBCT images were evaluated in a total of 48 patients (24 dentulous, 24 edentulous). Ninety-six temporomandibular joint CBCT images were examined. Eminence inclination, condyle head widths and joint space were measured and statistically compared between the edentulous and dentulous groups. Results: The articular eminence inclination value the mediolateral width of the condyle and the anteroposterior width of the condyle were found significantly higher in the dentulous group than in the edentulous group. …
Three-Dimensional Maxillary Alveolar Ridge Augmentation Using Modified Cortical Shell Technique And Composite Bone Graft, Mostafa Azab, Mohammed Diaa, Waleed El-Beialy, Amr Amin Ghanem
Three-Dimensional Maxillary Alveolar Ridge Augmentation Using Modified Cortical Shell Technique And Composite Bone Graft, Mostafa Azab, Mohammed Diaa, Waleed El-Beialy, Amr Amin Ghanem
Future Dental Journal
Objective: The present study was performed to assess the 3D alveolar ridge augmentation using the cortical shell from retromolar region and composite bone particulate regarding the width of the residual alveolar ridge. Methods: Thirteen patients with age range 21-40 years old having atrophic anterior maxillary ridge ≤3mm horizontally were included in the study. All patients were subjected to ridge augmentation using composite bone graft and retromolar cortical shell that was fixed in place by two micro-screws. The alveolar ridges were assessed and compared by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the pre-operative, immediate and 4 months post-operative phases by taking …
Outcomes Of Unilateral Alveolar Clefts Grafted Using Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2: A Retrospective Volumetric Analysis Using Cbct, Landon Robert Peterson
Outcomes Of Unilateral Alveolar Clefts Grafted Using Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2: A Retrospective Volumetric Analysis Using Cbct, Landon Robert Peterson
Theses & Dissertations
Purpose of this study is to evaluate the success rates of secondary alveolar grafts using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein with CBCT and to evaluate the effects of several variables on these outcomes. After our inclusion/exclusion criteria, records of 24 patients receiving secondary alveolar grafts at the University of Nebraska Medical Center were evaluated. Pre-graft and 6-month post-graft cleft volumes were measured using ITK-SNAP 3.8.0 software to determine a percent residual defect following surgery. Of the 24 patients, one was excluded as the graft surgery was deemed a failure. The patients’ gender, age, side of cleft, cleft side canine root …
Impact On The Pharyngeal Airway Space After Maxillomandibular Advancement Procedure For Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients, Ghaddy Alsaty
Impact On The Pharyngeal Airway Space After Maxillomandibular Advancement Procedure For Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients, Ghaddy Alsaty
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Background and Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder, characterized by disrupted snoring and repetitive upper airway obstructions. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is considered the therapeutic mainstay for OSA patients. However, CPAP therapy has compliance limitations. An alternative treatment options is maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgical procedure. Genial tubercle advancement (GTA) is often performed concomitant with MMA for esthetic purposes. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides the ability to visualize the upper airway and perform three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of MMA procedure with or without GTA on oropharyngeal …
