ABSTRACT
Purpose: To determine the accuracy of different radiographic methods for bone height estimation at the mental foramen area. Methods: Twenty dry human hemimandibles were examed by using periapical and panoramic radiography, and computed tomography. An electronic digital caliper was used to measure the tracings obtained from the radiographies in three different times (groups A1, A2 and A3) and inthe cross-sectioned hemimandibles (group B). Measurements consisted of: Measure 1 - from the upper limit of the alveolar ridge to the upper limit of the mental foramen; Measure 2 - from the upper limit of the mental foramen to the inferior limit of the cortical bone of the base of the jaw; Measure 3 - from the upper limit of the alveolar ridge to the inferior limit of the cortical bone of the base of the jaw. Data were analyzed with Student-t and Friedman tests. Results: The average difference values in Measure 1 were 0.33 mm, 0.35 mm and 0.85 mm for the periapical radiography, computed tomography and panoramic radiography, respectively (confidence intervals of 0.17 mm to 0.49 mm, 0.18 mm to 0.53 mm and 0.38 mm to 1.32 mm, respectively). Panoramic radiographies showed the greatest differences in Measures 2 and 3, with average values of 1.05 mm and 1.93 mm, respectively. Conclusion: Periapical radiography and computed tomography showed the best accuracy. Asafety margin for surgical purposes has been suggested.
RESUMO
Objetivo: Determinar a acurácia de diferentes métodos radiográficos para estimação de altura óssea na região do forame mentual. Metodologia: Vinte hemi-mandíbulas humanas, secas, foram examinadas por radiografia periapical e panorâmica e tomografia computadorizada. Um paquímetro digital foi usado para medir os traçados obtidos das radiografias em três diferentes tempos (grupos A1, A2 e A3) e nas hemi-mandíbulas seccionadas transversalmente (grupo B). As medições foram: Medida 1 - do limite superior da crista óssea ao limite superior do forame mentual; Medida 2 - do limite superior do forame mentual ao limite inferior do osso cortical da base da mandíbula; Medida 3 - do limite superior da crista óssea ao limite inferior do osso cortical da base da mandíbula. Os dados foram analisados por teste t de Student e teste de Friedman. Resultados: Os valores médios de diferença na Medida 1 foram 0,33 mm, 0,35 mm e 0,85 mm para a radiografia periapical, tomografia computadorizada e radiografia panorâmica, respectivamente (intervalos de confiança de 0,17 a 0,49 mm, 0,18 a 0,53 mm e 0,38 a 1,32 mm, respectivamente). As radiografias panorâmicas mostraram as maiores diferenças nas Medidas 2 e 3, com valores médios de 1,05 mm e 1,93 mm, respectivamente. Conclusão: A radiografia periapical e a tomografia computadorizada mostraram a melhor acurácia. Sugere-se uma margem de segurança em caso de cirurgias.
