CBCT images of 84 patients with unilateral CL/P and 168 healthy individual controls were included in the study. Three study groups were established: the CS-CL/P group (cleft side temporal bones of the CL/P patients), NCS-CL/P (non-cleft side temporal bones of the CL/P patients) and the control group. The radiological patterns of SSCs were categorized as dehiscence, papyraceous, normal, pneumatised and thick. The minimum bone thickness of SSC was measured.Results: It was found that the CS-CL/P group had a higher prevalence for SSCD compared to both the NCS-CL/P group and the control group. CS-CL/P group had a higher prevalence of dehiscence type and papyraceous type compared to the control group. The SSC thickness on the CS-CL/P patients was thinner than the NCS-CL/P patients and the control group sides (p = 0.033 and p < 0.001, respectively).Conclusions: The mean thickness of SSC was found significantly lower in the CS-CL/P group compared to both the NCS-CL/P group and the control group. The elevated prevalence of dehiscence and papyraceous types in the CS-C/LP group compared to the control group implies that the presence of a cleft may be a predisposing factor for these types.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":" ","pages":"269-276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139111373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sphenoid sinus pneumatization types, OC prevalence, protrusion and dehiscence of ICA and ON, the volume and area were evaluated.Results: The sinus volume and area were statistically higher in patients with bilateral protrusion of ICA and ON then patients without protrusion of ICA and ON.

The postsellar b type sphenoid sinus had the highest volume, while conchal type has the least volume.Conclusions: Bilateral protrusion and dehiscence of ICA and bilateral protrusion of ON caused a significant increase in the sphenoid sinus volume and area. The presence of ICA and ON, the pneumatization of the sinus is an anatomical structure that can affect the sinus volume and area.

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the occlusal plane angle on metal artifacts caused by dental implants and zirconia upper structures, and the effectiveness of SEMAR for CT prognostic evaluation.Methods: Part of a bovine rib was used as the mandibular implant phantom. First, the phantom immersed in a water tank was scanned using CT to obtain the control image under certain conditions. Subsequently, three titanium implant bodies were implanted in a straight line into the phantom, and a zirconia superstructure was attached. CT scans were performed. The CT-reconstructed images were obtained with and without SEMAR processing. Twelve regions of interest (ROIs) were set at the same site on each sagittal image, and the CT values were measured at all the ROIs. The CT values of the ROIs in the control images and those of the ROIs with and without SEMAR were compared.Results: The variations in the occlusal plane angle during CT imaging negligibly affected the number of regions in which metal artifacts appeared. SEMAR improved the CT value of the trabecular bone, which was affected by metal artifacts.Conclusion: This study showed that the occlusal plane angle occasionally did not affect the area of metal artifacts caused by dental implants or zirconia upper structures. Other results indicate that SEMAR is effective for accurately evaluating the alveolar bone around the implant body by reducing metal artifacts.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":" ","pages":"251-258"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139038187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
