RESUMO

The objective of this study was to better understand human variation by comparing cone-beam computed tomography-based cranial measurements between both sexes of individuals from two distinct populations: Brazilian and Dutch. Cone-beam computed tomography volumes of 311 patients between 20 and 60 years from Brazil and The Netherlands were selected. Two radiologists performed 16 linear measurements in the maxillary sinuses and mandibular canal. Kruskall-Wallis test compared measurements of the two cranial structures between male and female for the two populations and four age ranges (20-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60). Mann-Whitney test compared individual measurements obtained from the cranial structures between male and female for each population, and between both populations for both sexes. Intra- and inter-observer reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation test (α = 0.05). No significant differences were found in the linear measurements among the experimental groups including sex, population and age group for both cranial structures (p > 0.05). Most of the cranial linear measurements were significantly higher for male than those for female irrespective of the population (p ≤ 0.05). When the populations were compared regardless of sex, Brazilians presented four significantly higher measurements, and Dutch presented seven significantly higher measurements (p ≤ 0.05). The assessed cranial structures did not differ between Brazilian and Dutch populations for both sexes and four age ranges. Multiple linear measurements differed between both populations with a predominance of larger dimensions for the Dutch population.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: In this cadaveric study, the accuracy of CAS guided mandibular and maxillary reconstruction including immediate dental implant placement in different Brown defect classes is assessed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The virtual planning and surgical procedure was conducted according to a newly proposed Amsterdam UMC reconstruction protocol. Postoperative evaluation was performed according to a previously proposed evaluation guideline. RESULTS: Fourteen mandibular and 6 maxillary reconstructions were performed. Average mandibular angle deviations were 1.52°±1.32, 1.85°±1.58, 1.37°±1.09, 1.78°±1.37, 2.43°±1.52 and 2.83°±2.37, respectively for the left and right axial angles, left and right coronal angles and left and right sagittal angles. A total of 62 dental implants were placed in neomandibles with an average dXYZ values of 3.68 ± 2.21 mm and 16 in neomaxillas with an average dXYZ values of 3.24 ± 1.7 mm. CONCLUSION: Promising levels of accuracy were achieved for all mandibular angles. Dental implant positions approached the preoperative preferred positions well, within the margin to manufacture prosthetic devices.

RESUMO

METHODS AND MATERIALS: 20 operators obtained intraoral radiographs of four regions (bitewing, upper molar, lower molar and upper anterior) in five mannequins, using HH and WM devices. Beam-aiming devices were fitted with metal cross-wires to project on image sensors. Deviation from ideal perpendicular incidence of beam was calculated, based on positions of cross-wires relative to gold-standard positions (i.e. average of 10-fold precise aiming by authors via WM system). Analytic models relied on Wilcoxon signed-rank test and mixed model analyses. RESULTS: Mean deviations from perfect aim were 2.88˚ (± 1.80˚) for WM and 3.06˚ (± 1.90˚) for HH methods. The difference among all operators (HH vs WM) was 0.17˚ (± 2.48˚), which was not significant. Seven operators showed better aim by HH device (13 by WM system); and in one instance, this difference was significant. CONCLUSIONS: Aiming precision proved similar for HH and WM methods of intraoral radiography, although individual operators may perform better using one of these modalities. Aim is not an expected limiting factor for image quality in HH (vs WM) diagnostics.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of two craniometric methods for sexual prediction (SP) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the Dutch population and to construct a formula for each method and then the two combined. DESIGN: One-hundred sixty CBCT images were selected from a Dutch database (80 males and 80 females). The images were analyzed by two examiners taking seven measurements in the maxillary sinus (MS) region (first method) and nine in the mandibular canal (MC) region (second method). The most predictive measurements in both methods were used to develop an equation to determine the accuracy of each method. RESULTS: All measurements showed statistical difference between genders. Logistic regression results showed two variables with greater SP index with 75% accuracy in the first method and four variables with 71.9% accuracy in the second. The two methods combined showed another four variables with 78.5% accuracy. CONCLUSION: All measurements showed statistically significant differences between sexes. The SP accuracy values were 75% for first 71.9% for the second method. When the two methods were combined, the accuracy increased to 78.5%. The formulas developed in this study can be applied as a complementary method for human identification in the Dutch population.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the utility of the application of a thyroid shield in intraoral radiography when using rectangular collimation. METHODS: Experimental data were obtained by measuring the absorbed dose at the position of the thyroid gland in a RANDO(®) (The Phantom Laboratory, Salem, NY) male phantom with a dosemeter. Four protocols were tested: round collimation and rectangular collimation, both with and without thyroid shield. Five exposure positions were deployed: upper incisor (Isup), upper canine (Csup), upper premolar (Psup), upper molar (Msup) and posterior bitewing (BW). Exposures were made with 70 kV and 7 mA and were repeated 10 times. The exposure times were as recommended for the exposure positions for the respective collimator type by the manufacturer for digital imaging. The data were statistically analyzed with a three-way ANOVA test. Significance was set at p < 0.01. RESULTS: The ANOVA test revealed that the differences between mean doses of all protocols and geometries were statistically significant, p < 0.001. For the Isup, thyroid dose levels were comparable with both collimators at a level indicating primary beam exposure. Thyroid shield reduced this dose with circa 75%. For the Csup position, round collimation also revealed primary beam exposure, and thyroid shield yield was 70%. In Csup with rectangular collimation, the thyroid dose was reduced with a factor 4 compared with round collimation and thyroid shield yielded an additional 42% dose reduction. The thyroid dose levels for the Csup, Psup, Msup and BW exposures were lower with rectangular collimation without thyroid shield than with round collimation with thyroid shield. With rectangular collimation, the thyroid shield in Psup, Msup and BW reduced the dose 10% or less, where dose levels were already low, implying no clinical significance. CONCLUSIONS: For the exposures in the upper anterior region, thyroid shield results in an important dose reduction for the thyroid. For the other exposures, thyroid shield augments little to the reduction achieved by rectangular collimation. The use of thyroid shield is to be advised, when performing upper anterior radiography.
