Evaluation of Guided Tissue Regeneration Following Third Molar Extraction by Bone Scintigraphy Using Tc99m-MDP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extraction of impacted third molars is a well-established and documented procedure. Guided tissue regeneration can be used to aid in wound healing and increase osseous tissue formation. To assess the regenerative treatment outcome, several variables are routinely used; these include primarily histology and direct measurement of bone. Other proxy measurements, such as radiographic analysis, clinical attachment level and periodontal pocket depth are commonly used. This report describes the use of an ePTFE membrane following extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth, and the subsequent use of bone scan using Tc99m-Methylene Diphosphonate (MDP) to monitor the regenerative response.

Inguinoscrotal Herniation of a Bladder Diverticulum on [Tc99m]-Methylene-Diphosponate (MDP) Bone Scan Diagnosed with SPECT/CT
Inguinoscrotal hernias that contain bladder diverticulae are a rare occurrence. We report the case of a 85 yearold man with intense radioactivity overlying the left pubic tubercle on [Tc99m]-methylene-diphosponate (MDP) bone scan. SPECT/CT imaging established the diagnosis of excreted urinary radioactivity within a large herniated bladder diverticulum. SPECT/CT is a useful technique for evaluat...
متن کاملValue of tc99m (V) dmsa compared to tc99m Mibi in Evaluation of Bone and Bone Marrow Lesions in Patients with Multiple Myeloma
Bone scintigraphy has some limitations in detecting bone lesions at the time of diagnosis since Tc99m MDP scintigraphy does not trace lesions lacking osteoblastic activity3. Tc99m Sestamibi (MIBI) has been proposed as a potential tracer in patients with multiple myeloma, as its increased uptake in the bone marrow has been reported as an indicator of myeloma activity4. It has been suggested to b...

Background: Extraction of impacted third molar violates surrounding soft and bony tissues. Various surgical approaches and surgical technics have an important impact on the periodontal health of the adjacent second molar. Purpose: The aim of this review is to analyse the causes that can affect postoperative periodontal outcomes for the mandibular second molars (LM2) adjacent to the impacted/ se...

A 42-year-old Mediterranean male presented complaining of inability to sustain good oral care at the posterior aspect of the lower right jaw. The main problems were food impaction in the area and the subsequent malodor. The patient reported remarkable medical history. Clinical examination revealed local erytherma with noticeable bone defect distal to the second molar with obvious defect in the ...
متن کاملDoes fluid restriction affect the image quality of skeletal scintigraphy?
Introduction: In Islamic countries in the month of Holy Ramadan many Muslims based on their religious Legislation refuse fluid intake during the fasting time though instructed to drink after injection of Tc-99m Methylene-diphosphonates [Tc-99m MDP] used for skeletal scintigraphy. We aimed to establish whether fluid restriction in Tc-99m MDP skeletal scintigraphy has an impact on its quality. M...
