fa Recent advances of ultrasound imaging in dentistry – a review of the literature رادیولوژی دهان، فک و صورت Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology پژوهشي Research Ultrasonography as an imaging modality in dentistry has been extensively explored in recent years due to several advantages that diagnostic ultrasound provides. It is a non-invasive, inexpensive, painless method and unlike X-ray, it does not cause harmful ionizing radiation. Ultrasound has a promising future as a diagnostic imaging tool in all specialties in dentistry, for both hard and soft tissue detection. The aim of this review is to provide the scientific community and clinicians with an overview of the most recent advances of ultrasound imaging in dentistry. The use of ultrasound is described and discussed in the fields of dental scanning, caries detection, dental fractures, soft tissue and periapical lesions, maxillofacial fractures, periodontal bony defects, gingival and muscle thickness, temporomandibular disorders, and implant dentistry. <hr><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology </p><p> <a href="http://www.oooojournal.net/article/S2212-4403(13)00172-7/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1642&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Juliana Marotti 10031947532846007673 10031947532846007673 Yes Department of Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo, Av.
