fa Diagnostic efficacy of cone-beam computed tomography for mandibular fractures رادیولوژی دهان، فک و صورت Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Objective</strong></p><p>  The aim of the study was to determine the clinical efficacy of maxillofacial cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the diagnosis of suspected mandibular fractures and to evaluate whether findings would lead to a change in treatment. </p><p> <strong>Study design</strong></p><p>  CBCT imaging was performed for 164 patients with suspected mandibular fractures (231 sites) but equivocal clinical and radiological findings (conventional radiography). Images were interpreted by oral and maxillofacial surgeons and treatment decisions based on pre and postimaging were compared. Linear regression analyses were performed.</p><p> <strong> Results</strong></p><p>  For 63.2% of sites (n = 146) the suspected diagnosis was confirmed by CBCT (P < .0001 R2 = 0.93). For 4.33% of sites (n = 10) no fracture was identified. Additional fractures were identified in 17.75% (n = 41) and additional infractures in 14.72% (n = 34). The treatment plan was altered for 9.52% of sites (n = 22). </p><p> <strong>Conclusions</strong></p><p>  CBCT imaging of suspected mandibular fractures resulted in a change in the treatment plan in 9.52%. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology </p><p> <a href="http://www.oooojournal.net/article/S2212-4403(13)00184-3/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1666&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Gabriele Kaeppler 10031947532846007819 10031947532846007819 Yes Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Clinic for Oral and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, Munich, Germany Carl-Peter Cornelius 10031947532846007820 10031947532846007820 No Clinic for Oral and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, Munich, Germany Michael Ehrenfeld 10031947532846007821 10031947532846007821 No Head, Clinic for Oral and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, Munich, Germany Gerson Mast 10031947532846007822 10031947532846007822 No Maxillofacial Surgeon, Clinic for Oral and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, Munich, Germany
