Is it possible to apply a paralleling technique to different ethnicities in Hong Kong?
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of a paralleling technique in dental patients in Hong Kong via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
Methods: We analyzed CBCT images of 28 patients who underwent CBCT examination at Prince Philip Dental Hospital between March 2016 and July 2021. Overall, 136 teeth were studied. We created an 8 mm-thick reconstructed maximum intensity projection image to show each subject tooth, traced them with the surrounding structures, such as the hard palate and the buccal skin surface of the maxilla, and measured various parameters for determining the tooth length and palatal height. We also considered the applicability of the parallel technique.
Results: We successfully measured the parameters with excellent intra- and inter-observer reliability indices. The results revealed that the applicability of this technique was not feasible. These results were similar to those of a previous study. Only two periapical radiographs showed distorted shapes and inconsistent root lengths.
Conclusions: Using CBCT image analysis, this study clarified that the paralleling technique is not applicable even for patients in Hong Kong. Clinicians should note that the paralleling technique is not strictly a paralleling method and may lead to image distortion.
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.
