Computerized tomography in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

J R Ames, R P Johnson, E A Stevens

    Journal of Oral Surgery (American Dental Association : 1965)
    |February 1, 1980

    Summary

    Computerized tomography (CT) offers noninvasive diagnostic imaging for oral and maxillofacial surgery. While CT provides detailed anatomical slices, metallic restorations create artifacts, limiting its use in dentition areas.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Diagnostic techniques

    Background:

    • Computerized tomography (CT) has significantly advanced noninvasive diagnostic capabilities.
    • Historically, CT utilization in oral and maxillofacial surgery was restricted.
    • CT generates precise two-dimensional anatomical tissue slices.

    Observation:

    • Key advantages of CT include elimination of image superimposition and enhanced soft tissue detail.
    • CT facilitates improved visualization of vascular tumors and allows for selective enlargement of specific areas.
    • The technology offers tomographic capabilities and holds potential for future three-dimensional image reconstruction.

    Findings:

    • Metallic restorations in dentition produce artifacts, compromising CT image quality in these specific regions.
    • Despite limitations, CT is clinically applied for diagnosing infections, midfacial trauma, and various lesions.
    • Applications include evaluating vascular lesions and pathologies of the mandibular ramus and maxilla.

    Implications:

    • CT imaging provides valuable diagnostic information for complex maxillofacial conditions.
    • Understanding CT artifact limitations is crucial for accurate interpretation in surgical planning.
    • Further research may refine CT techniques to overcome restoration-related artifacts for broader application.
