diagnostic accuracy of cbct with different voxel sizes and intraoral digital radiography for detection of periapical bone lesions: an ex-vivo study
نویسندگان
چکیده
objectives: this study sought to assess the diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (cbct) with different voxel sizes and intraoral digital radiography with photostimulable phosphor (psp) plate for detection of periapical (pa) bone lesions. materials and methods: in this ex vivo diagnostic study, one-millimeter defects were created in the alveolar sockets of 15 bone blocks, each with two posterior teeth. a no-defect control group was also included. digital pa radiographs with psp plates and cbct scans with 200, 250 and 300μ voxel sizes were obtained. four observers evaluated the possibility of lesion detection using a 5-point scale. sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (ppv) and negative predicative value (npv) were analyzed using one-way anova and tamhane’s post hoc test. kappa and weighted kappa statistics were applied to assess intraobserver and interobserver agreements. results: cochrane q test showed no significant difference between psp and cbct imaging modalities in terms of kappa and weighted kappa statistics (p=0.675). the complete sensitivity and complete npv for 200 and 250 μ voxel sizes were higher than those of 300 μ voxel size and digital radiography (p<0.001). no significant difference was noted in other parameters among other imaging modalities (p=0.403). conclusions: the results showed that high-resolution cbct scans had higher diagnostic accuracy than psp digital radiography for detection of artificially created pa bone lesions. voxel size (field of view) must be taken into account to minimize patient radiation dose. keywords: diagnosis; cone-beam computed tomography; radiography, dental, digital; periapical periodontitis

متن کاملExtraoral periapical radiography: an alternative approach to intraoral periapical radiography
It is difficult to take intraoral radiographs in some patients who are intolerable to place the film in their mouth. For these patients, Newman and Friedman recommended a new technique of extraoral film placement. Here we report various cases that diagnostic imaging was performed in patients using the extraoral periapical technique. This technique was used to obtain the radiographs for the pati...
متن کاملAccuracy of an Intraoral Digital System for File Length Measurement
Introdouction: Canal length measurement is essential for proper endodontic treatment. Any error or miscalculation in working length determination, particularly in curved canals, can result in complications during or after root canal therapy. Digital radiography has enabled accurate measurement of curved canal length. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of calibration of a complementary m...
متن کاملAn Intraoral Periapical Radiographic Study of Mandibular Nutrient Canals with Conventional and Digital Radiography
Background: Hypertension is one of the most common medical problems seen in our dental profession. Nutrient canals are spaces in bones and are considered to be channels that transmit blood vessels and nerves. They are observed more frequently in the mandibular anterior region as radiolucent lines in intraoral periapical radiographs. The radiographically observable nutrient canals have been show...
