ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to observed the anesthetic efficacy of the alveolar nerve block on nine patients that CBCT diagnosed unilateral retromolar canal on a double-blind, split-mouth approach. The assessments of patient response to thermal (pulp vitality test) and pressure (compression of soft tissue) stimuli were carried out before and 5 minutes after the inferior alveolar nerve block procedure, using both visual analog scale (VAS) and Mc Gill pain questionnaires (McG). The mean percentage of patient response decreased after alveolar nerve block, according to both VAS and McG, and was statistically similar among hemi mandibles with and without retromolar canal (Wilcoxon>0.05); however, those without retromolar canal presented greater reduction in patient response in 6 out of 9 cases. Therefore, the retromolar canal is not a determinant factor of inferior alveolar nerve block failure.


El objetivo de este estudio fue observar la eficacia anestésica del bloqueo del nervio alveolar en nueve pacientes que CBCT diagnosticó canal retromolar unilateral en un abordaje de boca dividida doble ciego. Las evaluaciones de la respuesta del paciente a los estímulos térmicos (prueba de vitalidad pulpar) y de presión (compresión de los tejidos blandos) se realizaron antes y 5 minutos después del procedimiento de bloqueo del nervio alveolar inferior, utilizando tanto la escala analógica visual (VAS) como los cuestionarios de dolor de Mc Gill ( McG). El porcentaje medio de respuesta de los pacientes disminuyó tras el bloqueo del nervio alveolar, según EVA y McG, y fue estadísticamente similar entre hemimandíbulas con y sin canal retromolar (Wilcoxon>0,05); sin embargo, aquellos sin canal retromolar presentaron mayor reducción en la respuesta del paciente en 6 de 9 casos. Por lo tanto, el canal retromolar no es un factor determinante del fracaso del bloqueo del nervio alveolar inferior.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the observers diagnostic performance in panoramic radiography using monitor, tablet, X-ray image view box, and against window daylight as a visualization method in different diagnostic tasks. Thirty panoramic radiography were assessed by three calibrated observers for each visualization method, in standardized light conditions, concerning dental caries, widened periodontal ligament space, and periapical bone defects from the four first molars; mucosal thickening and retention cysts in maxillary sinus; and stylo-hyoid ligament calcification and atheroma. A five-point confidence scale was used. The standard-reference was performed by two experienced observers. Diagnostic values using window light were significantly lower for caries and periapical bone defect and retention cyst, stylo-hyoid ligament calcification detection (p<0.05). For atheroma detection, X-ray image view box, tablet, and widow light had lower accuracy than the evaluation on the monitor (p<0.05). Observers diagnostic performances are worsened using window light as an evaluation method for panoramic radiography for dental, sinus, and calcification disorders, while the monitor was the most reliable method.


Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el desempeño diagnóstico de los observadores en la radiografía panorámica utilizando monitor, tablet, caja de visualización de imágenes de rayos X y contra la luz del día de la ventana como método de visualización en diferentes tareas de diagnóstico. Treinta radiografías panorámicas fueron evaluadas por tres observadores calibrados para cada método de visualización, en condiciones de luz estandarizadas, con respecto a caries dental, espacio del ligamento periodontal ensanchado y defectos óseos periapicales de los cuatro primeros molares; engrosamiento de la mucosa y quistes de retención en el seno maxilar; y calcificación y ateroma del ligamento estilohioideo. Se utilizó una escala de confianza de cinco puntos. La referencia estándar fue realizada por dos observadores experimentados. Los valores diagnósticos con luz de ventana fueron significativamente menores para caries y defecto óseo periapical y quiste de retención, detección de calcificación del ligamento estilohioideo (p <0.05). Para la detección de ateroma, la caja de visualización de imágenes de rayos X, el tablet y la luz de viuda tuvieron una precisión menor que la evaluación en el monitor (p <0.05). El rendimiento diagnóstico del observador empeora al utilizar la luz de la ventana como método de evaluación de la radiografía panorámica para los trastornos dentales, de los senos nasales y de la calcificación, mientras que el monitor fue el método más fiable.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated influence of addition of lead foil coupled to different types of digital receptors on image noise and on diagnosis of fractured instruments in teeth without and with root filling. Twenty-six molars had their root canals (n=67) cleaned and shaped and were divided into groups with and without root filling and with and without fractured instruments. Images were acquired in PSP and CMOS sensor, with and without addition of a lead foil coupled to the digital receptors. Diagnostic values were obtained by the area under the ROC curve, and one-way ANOVA compared the groups. Noise in images was measured by the standard deviation of mean gray values in images with and without the lead foil, and compared by two-way ANOVA (a=0.05). Addition of lead foil did not interfere in the diagnostic accuracy for both digital systems (p>0.05) and did not decrease noise in the images (p>0.05). However, independently of the addition of the lead foil, the phosphor-storage plate presented higher noise compared to the sensor (p ?0.05). Addition of lead foil to the digital receptor did not interfere in image noise and with the diagnostic accuracy for detecting fracured endodontic instrument in ex-vivo conditions.


RESUMEN: Este estudio evaluó la influencia de láminas de plomo acopladas a diferentes tipos de receptores digitales sobre el ruido de la imagen y el diagnóstico de instrumentos fracturados en dientes sin y con obturación radicular. Se limpiaron y moldearon 26 molares (n = 67), se dividieron en grupos con y sin relleno radicular y con y sin instrumentos fracturados. Las imágenes se adquirieron en el sensor PSP y CMOS, con y sin adición de una lámina de plomo acoplada a los receptores digitales. Los valores diagnósticos se obtuvieron por el área bajo la curva ROC y con ANOVA de una vía comparó los grupos. El ruido en las imágenes se midió mediante la desviación estándar de los valores medios de gris en las imágenes con y sin la lámina de plomo, y se comparó mediante ANOVA bidireccional (a = 0,05). La adición de lámina de plomo no interfirió en la precisión diagnóstica de ambos sistemas digitales (p> 0,05) y no disminuyó el ruido en las imágenes (p> 0,05). Sin embargo, independientemente de la adición de la lámina de plomo, la placa de almacenamiento de fósforo presentó mayor ruido en comparación con el sensor (p?0,05). La adición de lámina de plomo al receptor digital no interfirió con el ruido de la imagen y con la precisión diagnóstica para detectar el instrumento endodóntico fracturado en condiciones ex vivo.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This study aims to assess the influence of high-density material on the radiographic diagnosis of proximal caries in digital systems with automatic exposure compensation, and to evaluate the effect of subjective adjustment of brightness and contrast to undertake this diagnostic task. Twenty bitewing radiographs of forty posterior human teeth with non-cavitated carious lesions, confirmed by micro-CT, were obtained with two digital systems. A porcelain-fused-to-metal crown attached to a titanium implant was inserted into the exposed area, and all the radiographs were repeated. Five radiologists assessed the radiographs and diagnosed proximal carious lesions. Afterwards, the observers were asked to adjust image brightness and contrast, based on their subjective perception, and to reassess the images. Thirty percent of each experimental group was reassessed to test intraobserver reproducibility, totaling 208 images per observer. Intraobserver and interobserver agreements ranged from fair to substantial. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and area under the ROC curve were calculated and compared for each radiographic system, using ANOVA (α = 0.05). Overall, presence of high-density material and adjustment of brightness and contrast did not significantly influence the radiographic diagnosis of proximal caries (p ≥ 0.05). Regarding Digora Optime, adjustment of brightness and contrast significantly increased (p < 0.05) the diagnostic accuracy of proximal carious lesions in the presence of high-density material. In conclusion, the presence of high-density material in the X-rayed region does not influence radiographic diagnosis of proximal caries. However, when it is present in the X-rayed area, subjective adjustment of brightness and contrast is recommended for use with the Digora Optime digital system.
