Abstract

Objective: To examine the anatomical and morphological structure and potential pathological conditions of the submandibular gland by performing Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) sialography in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Study design: The submandibular salivary glands of 25 diabetic and 25 healthy volunteers were examined by CBCT sialography. The images were evaluated to determine the main and lateral canals, the diameter of the main canal, the presence of ductal stenosis, central ductal dilatation, acinar pooling, the presence of sialoliths, and the visualization of the main and lateral canals and parenchyma.

Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the patients and controls in the diameters of the primary ducts of submandibular glands and the visibility of secondary and tertiary ducts, sialoliths, ductal stenosis, and acinar pooling (p > 0.05). Nevertheless, ductal dilatation and the location of ductal dilatation were statistically more prevalent in diabetic patients (p = 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively).

Conclusion: The prevalence of sialolith, ductal stenosis, and peripheral ductal dilatation was higher among diabetic patients than in the control group, although this difference was not statistically significant. However, ductal dilatation was observed to be statistically significantly more prevalent in diabetics. CBCT sialography proved to be a valuable tool for demonstrating parenchymal changes.

锥形束CT涎腺造影对糖尿病颌下腺结构的评价。

目的：通过锥形束ct （Cone Beam Computed Tomography， CBCT）对糖尿病患者颌下腺的解剖形态结构及潜在病理状况进行探讨。研究设计：对25名糖尿病患者和25名健康志愿者的下颌下唾液腺进行CBCT唾液造影检查。评估图像以确定主要和外侧管道，主要管道的直径，导管狭窄的存在，中央导管扩张，腺泡池，涎石的存在，以及主要和外侧管道和实质的可视化。结果：患者与对照组在颌下腺初级导管直径、第二、第三导管可见性、涎石、导管狭窄、腺泡池可见性方面差异无统计学意义（p < 0.05）。结论：糖尿病患者涎石、导管狭窄、外周导管扩张的发生率均高于对照组，但差异无统计学意义。然而，导管扩张在糖尿病患者中更为普遍。CBCT唾液造影被证明是一种有价值的工具，显示实质的变化。

期刊介绍： Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
