RESUMO

Taurodontism is an anomaly that affects posterior teeth, vertically increasing the size of the pulp chamber, mimicking the shape of bovine teeth, being only evidenced in diagnostic images. This report describes a case of taurodontism in a mandibular second molar, highlighting the forensic importance of this dental anomaly with relevant potential for human identification, not only for its morphological aspect but also for its relatively low frequency in mandibular second molars. In the case under study, the individual did not have any restored teeth. Thus, the set of diverse imaging modalities is fundamental to identify the anatomy of teeth and roots, the only information that could be used in a hypothetical identification situation, assigning to this anomaly an exceptional relevance as a potential characteristic for positive identification.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate a new method for assessing the radio-opacity of endodontic sealers and to compare radio-opacity values with a well-established standard method. METHODS: The sealers evaluated in this study were AH Plus(®) (Dentsply DeTrey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany), Endo CPM Sealer (EGEO SRL, Buenos Aires, Argentina) and MTA Fillapex(®) (Angelus Dental Products Industry S/A, Londrina, Parana, Brazil). Two methods were used to evaluate radio-opacity: (D) standard discs and (S) a tissue simulator. For (D), ten standard discs were prepared for each sealer and were radiographed using Digora(®) phosphor storage plates (Soredex; Orion Corporation, Helsinki, Finland), alongside an aluminium stepwedge. For (S), polyethylene tubes filled with sealer (n = 10 for each) were radiographed inside the simulator as described. The digital images were analysed using Adobe Photoshop(®) software v. 10.0 (Adobe Systems, San Jose, CA). To compare the radio-opacity among the sealers, the data were analysed by ANOVA and Tukey's test, and to compare methods, they were analysed by the Mann-Whitney U test. To compare the data obtained from dentin and sealers in method (S), Student's paired t-test was used (=0.05). RESULTS: In both methods, the sealers showed significant differences, according to the following decreasing order: AH Plus, MTA Fillapex and Endo CPM. In (D), MTA Fillapex and Endo CPM showed less radio-opacity than aluminium. For all of the materials, the radio-opacity was higher in (S) than in (D). Compared with dentin, all of the materials were more radio-opaque. CONCLUSIONS: The comparison of the two assessment methods for sealer radio-opacity testing validated the use of a tissue simulator block.

RESUMO

This study investigated the radiographic pattern of underlying dark shadow from dentin (ICDAS 4) in permanent molars and assessed the association between enamel breakdown and radiographic features. Ninety-five teeth (54 patients) were clinically and radiographically assessed. The majority of ICDAS 4 caries lesions presented enamel breakdown (n = 78, 82.1%) and no radiographic image (n = 64, 67.4%) or a radiolucent zone restricted to the enamel-dentin junction (n = 17, 17.9%). No association was found between enamel breakdown and radiographic features. This study suggests that a radiographic examination is needed prior to the decision making process for underlying dark shadows from dentin.

RESUMO

AIM: To evaluate the radiopacity, degree of conversion (DC) and flexural strength of an experimental dental cement, with several added radiopaque substances. METHODOLOGY: Titanium dioxide, quartz, zirconia, bismuth oxide, barium sulphate and ytterbium trifluoride were added to the experimental cement in five different concentrations. Radiopacity was evaluated with a phosphor plate system, and the radiodensity of specimens was compared with an aluminium step-wedge. DC was evaluated with FT-infrared spectroscopy following 20 s of photo-activation. Specimens with dimensions of 12 x 2 x 2 mm were used for the flexural strength test. Data were analysed with two-way anova and Tukey's post hoc test. RESULTS: Radiopacity of the experimental dental cements with barium sulphate and bismuth oxide at 40% and ytterbium fluoride at 30% and 40% showed no significant differences in comparison with 3 mm of Al (181, 96). CONCLUSIONS: The experimental dental cements with at least 30% added ytterbium trifluoride had satisfactory radiopacity without influencing other properties.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop and test a tool for low bone mass pre-screening by combining periapical radiographs with clinical risk factors. METHODS: The study sample consisted of 60 post-menopausal women over 40 years of age who were referred for dental radiographs. These patients also had their bone mineral density measured at the lumbar spine and proximal femur using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Radiographic density measurements and 14 morphological features were obtained from each dental radiograph using digital image processing software. The clinical variables considered were age and bone mass index. Classification and regression tree analysis (CART) was used to test the predictive power of clinical and radiographic risk factors for classifying individuals. RESULTS: CART indicated that the most important variables for classifying patients were age, number of terminal points/periphery, periphery/trabecular area, radiographic density and bone mass index. CONCLUSION: A combination of clinical and radiographic factors can be used to identify individuals with low bone mineral density, with higher accuracy than any one of these factors taken individually.

RESUMO

Para avaliar a concordância e a acurácia no diagnóstico da situação do periápice de molares e prémolaresinferiores portadores ou não de patologia periapical, quarenta radiografias periapicais, vinte de dentescom vitalidade pulpar e sem radiolucências periapicais e vinte de dentes com necrose pulpar foram selecionadas,digitalizadas em scanner no modo 8 bits, com resolução de 300 dpi e armazenadas no formatoJPEG 12. As imagens digitalizadas foram apresentadas no formato de slides com fundo preto no programaPowerPoint, sendo projetadas em equipamento multimídia para vinte observadores, alunos de dois gruposde pós-graduação de uma mesma instituição de ensino, simultaneamente, com repetição de 20% dos casos.Os observadores apresentaram ampla variação do percentual de concordância entre diagnósticos repetidos,contudo, quando agrupados por especialidade, endodontistas e radiologistas apresentaram percentuais deconcordância de 62,50 e 66,25%, respectivamente. A concordância interobservadores foi superior entre osalunos de Radiologia, comparados aos de Endodontia (Kendall´s W= 0,816 e 0,662 respectivamente). Emrelação à especificidade, observou-se desempenho idêntico para os dois grupos (70 a 95%), contudo os alunosde Radiologia apresentaram sensibilidade ligeiramente superior (70 a 95%). A variabilidade, tanto intraquanto inter observador, verificada pelas analises realizadas pelos alunos da mesma especialidade sugereque os critérios de interpretação de imagens radiográficas devam ser enfatizados e um maior treinamentoaplicado nos cursos de pós-graduação.


In order to assess agreement and diagnostic accuracy in lower molars and premolars periapical radiographs,with or without apical radiolucences, in periapical region, forty radiographs, twenty of teeth withpulp vitality and without periapical radiolucences and twenty with nonvital pulp teeth were selected. Theradiographs were digitized in a scanner at 8 bits, 300 dpi and saved in JPEG 12 format. The images werepresented simultaneously to two groups of ten observers, which were post-graduation students at the sameinstitution, utilizing multimedia equipment and a PowerPoint program to project the black background slides.Twenty percent of the images were reanalyzed. The observers presented a significant agreement variationin the reanalysis; however, when grouped by of expertise, endodontists and radiologists agreed in theirdiagnosis in 62.50% and 66.25%, respectively. The interobserver agreement was higher among Radiologystudents compared to the Endodontics students (Kendall´s W= 0.816 e 0.662, respectively). In reference tospecificity, both demonstrated equal performance (70 to 95%), nonetheless the Radiology students demonstratedslightly higher sensibility (70 to 95%). Both intra and interobserver variability verified throughout theanalyses done by the students, of the same of expertise, suggest that the radiographic image interpretationcriterions should be emphasized and a better training applied in the post-graduations courses.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To verify whether changes in bone mass induced by glucocorticoid and bisphosphonate can be detected by digital subtraction radiography of lateral X-rays in female rat mandibles. METHODS: 36 Rattus norvegicus (Wistar) females were randomly allocated to three groups: Group 1, control (n = 12); Group 2, induced osteopaenia (n = 12); and Group 3, induced osteopaenia plus risedronate (n = 12). Group 1 received subcutaneous saline solution (2 ml kg(-1)) injections for 12 weeks. Group 2 received 1 mg kg(-1) methylprednisolone acetate for 12 weeks. Group 3 received the same treatment as Group 2, plus 3 mg kg(-1) risedronate sodium for a further 12 weeks. A radiograph of the left mandible was taken on day 0 and after 12 weeks. A third radiograph was taken in Group 3 after risedronate treatment. Digital subtraction of the radiographs was used to compare the intensity of pixels in the control area and the test area. The animals were killed and the same area assessed by subtraction was histologically evaluated. RESULTS: ANOVA revealed statistically significant histological differences between the three groups. Tukey's multiple comparisons test showed that Group 2 had the smallest mean proportion of bone trabeculae per field and Group 3 the largest (F = 37.56; P < 0.01). Radiographic subtraction revealed a higher mean pixel intensity in Groups 1 and 3 vs Group 2. In Group 3, glucocorticoid caused a significant loss in radiographic density, and risedronate restored that loss (Friedman's non-parametric test). CONCLUSIONS: Subtraction radiography was able to detect changes in bone mass induced by glucocorticoid and bisphosphonate.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To establish optimal exposure parameters for lateral oblique radiographs of rat mandibles using an intraoral X-ray machine. METHODS: A positioning apparatus, previously tested for its reproducibility, was used to obtain radiographs of four heads of formaldehyde-preserved Wistar rats. Radiographs were exposed at 50 kV and 8 mA using four size 2 films (Insight, Ektaspeed Plus, Ultraspeed and D-Speed; Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, NY), two focal distances (30 cm and 60 cm) and seven exposure times (0.6 s, 0.7 s, 0.8 s, 1.0 s, 1.5 s, 2.0 s and 2.5 s). The radiographs were evaluated by two examiners and scored for image quality: 1, very poor; 2, poor; 3, fair; 4, good; and 5, excellent. The evaluations were repeated at 30 days. RESULTS: Intraobserver reproducibility was substantial (kappa = 0.798 and 0.667). Also, the two examiners showed substantial agreement (kappa = 0.726). There was a significant difference (alpha = 1%) between the scores for the films under study. At a 30 cm distance, E-speed films had mean scores of 4 and 5 at 0.8 s and 1 s exposure times, and D-speed films, at 1.5 s, 2 s and 2.5 s exposure times. At a 60 cm distance, the best results were found for E-speed films at 2.0 s and 2.5 s exposure times. CONCLUSION: The films under study did not show any significant difference in the quality of rat mandible images as long as exposure times were adequate to their sensitivity and focal distance.

RESUMO

Radiographic changes after indirect pulp capping (32 teeth in 27 patients) were studied for up to 36-45 months. Radiolucent zone (RZ) depth and tertiary dentine formation were assessed qualitatively and changes in radiographic density (by image subtraction) in RZ and control areas (CA) were estimated. During follow-up there were 1 pulp necrosis, 1 pulp exposure, 3 fractures and 3 withdrawals. Twelve cases showed decreased RZ depth and 4 displayed tertiary dentine. No changes with time in density of CA or RZ, or in the difference between them, were observed. It is concluded that indirect pulp capping arrests lesion progression, suggesting that complete dentine caries removal is not essential for caries control.

RESUMO

This paper aims to assess radiographic changes after incomplete carious dentine removal and tooth sealing. Thirty-two teeth with deep caries lesions were studied. The treatment consisted of incomplete excavation, application of a Ca(OH)2 layer, sealing temporarily for a 6- to 7-month period and then restoration. Standardised bitewing radiographs were taken immediately after the temporary sealing and at 6- to 7- and 14- to 18-month intervals. The digitised images were analysed blind by image subtraction. The quantitative analyses subtractions were performed in the radiolucent zone (RZ) beneath the restoration and in two adjacent control areas (CA). Two cases were lost during the 6- to 7-month period (one pulp necrosis and one pulp exposure during removal of the provisional sealing). No difference (p > 0.05) was observed in the radiographic density of the CA and the RZ in the two experimental periods. The mean and standard deviation (grey tonalities scale) were 129.42+/-5.83 and 127.65+/-4.67 (control areas) and 132.96+/-7.41 and 132.90+/-5.99 (RZ) for the first and second experimental periods, respectively. The radiographic density of the CA differed from the RZ (Tukey test, p < 0.001). Interference in environmental conditions by partial dentine caries removal and tooth sealing arrests lesion progression, suggesting that complete dentine caries removal is not essential to control caries progression.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate, in simulated external root resorptions (ERR), two factors that may affect results of digital subtraction radiography (DSR): (1) intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility and (2) effects of digital file formats (TIFF, BMP and JPEG) on the estimation of mineral loss. METHODS: Eleven incisors were radiographed three times (NR, no resorption; SR, small--#1/4 round bur; and LR, large--#2 round bur) on standardized projections. The resulting images were reproduced and saved as TIFF, JPEG and BMP file formats. The pairs of TIFF images (NR x SR and NR x LR) were subtracted three times at 1 week intervals by three observers. One observer subtracted pairs of images (NR x SR and NR x LR) for all file formats. For each subtraction the resorption area was selected and mean pixel density values were calculated. RESULTS: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) (P = 0.05) showed no statistical differences for intraobserver and interobserver values. Mean pixel density values were: observer A, 121.60 +/- 2.56 (NR x SR) and 111.84 +/- 4.04 (NR x LR); observer B, 121.86 +/- 2.50 (NR x SR) and 110.92 +/- 3.36 (NR x LR); and observer C, 121.70 +/- 2.39 (NR x SR) and 111.10 +/- 2.67 (NR x LR). Also, no statistical differences were found between file formats for LR (TIFF, 110.88 +/- 2.79; JPEG, 111.35 +/- 3.35; BMP, 111.00 +/- 2.70) and for SR between TIFF (121.30 +/- 2.34) and JPEG (120.46 +/- 1.51) or BMP (121.67 +/- 2.18) file formats. Differences were found between the JPEG and BMP groups. CONCLUSIONS: DSR is reproducible in simulated ERR, and JPEG or BMP file formats do not affect results.

RESUMO

The analgesic efficacy of aceclofenac in the control of pain after surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars was compared with its preoperative administration. Two groups of 20 patients each were medicated with 2 tablets of 100 mg aceclofenac taken orally either 1h before surgery or in the early postoperative period. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon and the surgical technique was the same for all patients. Pain was assessed with a Visual Analogue Scale and a 0-4 Scale, as well as by counting the number of analgesic drug tablets taken after the surgery. Patients in the preoperative group took fewer tablets postoperatively and had a lower pain score both in the Visual Analogue Scale and the 0-4 Scale. This difference, however, was statistically significant only at 6h after surgery, which is the time of maximum pain for this surgical procedure. Aceclofenac was more efficient in controlling pain when administered before the surgery.
