Assessment of the dentate alveolar process with high resolution computed tomography

Dento Maxillo Facial Radiology
R A FuhrmannP R Diedrich

Abstract

The present study was undertaken to determine quantitatively the accuracy of modern high-resolution computed tomography (HR-CT) in imaging periodontal defects in vitro by means of comparative radiological and histological studies. The soft tissue and metallic restorations were removed from four mandibular and maxillary jaw segments. Eighteen lingual and buccal defects of different dimensions were artificially created over the roots of the teeth. Dental radiographs and 1.0 mm contiguous axial and coronal HR-CT scans were obtained. Histological specimens were prepared in the same plane as the CT scans. A quantitative analysis of the periodontal regions on the CT scans was feasible when the alveolar bone was 0.5 mm thick. A visible periodontal ligament space was found to improve the reliability of the measurement of buccal or lingual bone plates up to 0.2 mm thick or of the artificial dehiscences. In the axial HR-CT scans, 70% of the artificial defects could be identified. and in the coronal scans, 50%. In contrast, none of the defects could be evaluated on conventional dental radiographs. It is concluded that HR-CT scanning could be useful in assessing buccal and lingual alveolar bone morphology and in diagnosing larger dehiscences.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
