RESUMO
O uso de radiografias panorâmicas é cada vez mais aceito e rotineiro no dia a dia do cirurgião dentista. Esta também vem sendo muito usada para o planejamento cirúrgico de exodontias de terceiros molares. Porém, alguns trabalhos colocaram em discussão a fidelidade deste exame em detectar pequenas alterações anatômicas e a possibilidade de distorção de imagem do exame. Neste trabalho analisamos 27 dentes extraídos com seus respectivos exames radiográficos panorâmicos prévios à exodontia. Foi detectado que houve diferença significativa no que tange ao critério de número de raízes avaliado no exame radiográfico e no elemento extraído e também no que diz respeito à dilaceração radicular verificada neste exame e no dente.
ABSTRACT
Panoramic radiography is actually one of the most used imaginologic exams in clinical dentistry. It is also very used for surgical planning of third molars extraction. However, some papers raise some discussion about the accuracy of this exam in detecting small anatomic changes and the possibility of distortion of the image. In this paper, 27 dental elements (all upper third molars) that were extracted were analyzed, and comparison between the real aspect of the root morphology of the teeth that were extracted and the number of roots with the respective image on the panoramic radiography were performed. Significant differences were detected between these two observations in the number of roots and root dilaceration.
