Abstract

Objectives: To examine mental foramen (MF) morphology and morphometry in comparison with ultrasonography (USG) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and to determine the relationship between mental artery blood flow parameters and age, gender, dental status, alveolar crest height, mandibular cortical index (MCI) with USG.

Methods: A total of 120 MF and mental arteries of 60 patients (21 males and 39 females), including 20 patients in each group, aged 18-39, 40-59, and 60 years and above, were evaluated. The horizontal and vertical diameter of the MF and the distance between it and the alveolar crest were evaluated with USG and CBCT. In addition, mental artery blood flow parameters were examined by USG.

Results: When the horizontal diameter values of MF were compared in USG and CBCT measurements; the diameter was significantly lower in the measurements obtained by USG (p < 0.05). It was observed that there were no mental arteries whose blood flow could not be recorded, 31 (25.8%) had strong blood flow and 89 (74.2%) had weak blood flow. No significant correlation was observed between gender and blood flow parameters (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: Considering that CBCT images are used as gold standard in our study, it may be said that USG is not as reliable as CBCT in evaluating the MF dimensions in the maxillofacial region. Nevertheless, USG is a suitable technique for determining the visualizing and blood flow of the MF.

通过与CBCT和血流量测定的比较来评估精神孔USG测量的有效性。

目的：与超声检查（USG）和锥束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）进行比较，检查精神孔（MF）的形态学和形态计量学，并用USG确定精神动脉血流参数与年龄、性别、牙齿状况、牙槽嵴高度、下颌骨皮质指数（MCI）的关系。方法：对60例患者（男性21例，女性39例）的120条MF和精神动脉进行评估，每组20例，年龄分别为18-39岁、40-59岁和60岁及以上。用USG和CBCT评估MF的水平和垂直直径以及它与牙槽嵴之间的距离。此外，用超声心动图检测精神动脉血流参数。结果：当在USG和CBCT测量中比较MF的水平直径值时；在USG获得的测量中，直径明显较低（p 0.05）。结论：考虑到CBCT图像在我们的研究中被用作金标准，可以说USG在评估颌面部MF尺寸方面不如CBCT可靠。然而，USG是用于确定MF的可视化和血流的合适技术。

期刊介绍： As the official English-language journal of the Japanese Society for Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology and the Asian Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Oral Radiology is intended to be a forum for international collaboration in head and neck diagnostic imaging and all related fields. Oral Radiology features cutting-edge research papers, review articles, case reports, and technical notes from both the clinical and experimental fields. As membership in the Society is not a prerequisite, contributions are welcome from researchers and clinicians worldwide.
