Abstract

Purpose: To present the most frequent occult pathologies unexpectedly encountered via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), with particular reference to the diagnostic role of the dentist and that of the radiographer, with a view to clarifying where the diagnostic responsibility lies.

Material and methods: A narrative literature review on the most diffused occult pathologies under CBCT was conducted, with iconographical guide as an example for each category.

Results: The most frequent forms of unexpected pathologies encountered are: the presence of foreign bodies, airway anomaly, and the presence of radio-opacity or -transparency in the maxillofacial district.

Conclusions: The orthodontists must know that they are responsible to recognize these frequent, and potentially serious, pathologies of the head and neck. If the dentist feels unable to take on this responsibility, he or she should, however, be sure to have the scans read by a specialist radiologist.

CBCT下的意外伪影和隐匿性病理。

目的:介绍锥束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)中意外遇到的最常见的隐匿性病理，特别是牙医和放射技师的诊断作用，以明确诊断责任所在。材料和方法:对CBCT下最常见的隐匿性病理进行了叙述性文献综述，并以每一类的影像学指导为例。结果:最常见的意外病理形式是:异物的存在，气道异常，颌面部区域出现放射性不透明或透明。结论:正畸医生必须知道他们有责任识别这些常见的，潜在的严重的头颈部病变。如果牙医觉得无法承担这个责任，他或她应该确保让专业的放射科医生阅读扫描结果。
