RESUMEN
Objective: The spectrum of lesions diagnosed by fine needleaspiration cytology with routine & special stains and it’scorrelation with radiological findings.Materials & Methods: The study is performed on a total ofhundred (100) patients over duration from February 2017 toSeptember 2018. The data was collected in cytopathologysection of TMMC & RC from the patients referred from OPDsor was admitted through the period of study.Results: Among 100 FNAC cases, 36(36%) had NecrotizingGranulomatous Lymphadenitis, 23(23%) had GranulomatousLymphadenitis, 20(20%) had Reactive Lymphadenopathy, 6%had suppurative lymphadenitis & 2% had Necrotic Lymphnode, 10(10%) had Metastatic Squamous cell carcinoma,2(2%) had Hodgkin Lymphoma, 1(1%) had Non – HodgkinLymphoma.Conclusion: Our study concluded that FNAC is a minimallyinvasive, cost effective and rapid diagnostic tool. When used inconjunction with radiology for the diagnosis oflymphadenopathy FNAC can be a cost effective method
RESUMEN
Background: Dental implant placement has become a very common procedure in the modern era. Pre operative assessment is of immense value to ensure the long term stability of dental implants. Aim: The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy of Dental CT with radiography in planning implant surgery and pre-operative evaluation prior to implant placement. Methods: We conducted a hospital based prospective study in which patients for dental implant placement were evaluated with Dental CT and Radiography. Results: The radiographs overestimated the height of the alveolar ridge in majority of the pre implant cases as compared to Dental CT. For bucco-lingual analysis Dental CT provided an overwhelming advantage over Dental Radiography and clinical examination. The angle of alveolar ridge could not be assessed on radiographs whereas could be accurately estimated on Dental CT. Bone density of the implant site could be quantitatively determined on Dental CT whereas could not be determined on Radiographs. Conclusions: We concluded that Dental CT yields significantly better information than radiographs regarding pre-operative assessment of dental implants.
