Study Notes

Localization Techniques

Tube shift technique is used to localize the impacted canine in the mesiodistal and superoinferior dimensions.
SLOB stands for Same Lingual, Opposite Buccal, which is a radiograph technique principle.

Radiographic Imaging

Maxillary occlusal radiograph provides information about the impacted tooth in relation to surrounding structures.
Periapical radiograph provides information about the tooth and surrounding bone.
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a 3D imaging modality used in dentistry.

Impacted Tooth Localization

According to Clark's rule, an object on the lingual surface of the mandible should be mesial to the second premolar when angulated mesially.
An object on the buccal surface of the mandible appears distal to the second premolar.
A radiopaque object on the lingual surface of the mandible may appear to be in relation to the second premolar.

CBCT Imaging

CT/CBCT stands for Computed Tomography/Cone Beam Computed Tomography, a 3D imaging modality.
CBCT has the primary advantage of lower radiation dose and cost compared to Medical-Grade CT scans.
Field of View (FOV) in CBCT imaging refers to the region of the patient that is imaged.
CBCT is used in orthodontics to visualize the tooth and surrounding bone in 3D.
Metallic objects in CBCT imaging produce streak artifacts.
DICOM stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, a standard for CBCT imaging.

CBCT Terminology

Tomography in Computed Tomography (CT) refers to the process of imaging slices of the body.
Voxel refers to a 3D pixel in CBCT imaging.

Limitations and Applications

The primary limitation of CBCT imaging in dentistry is the presence of metallic artifacts.
One application of CBCT in dentistry is the evaluation of maxillofacial pathology.
CBCT has the advantage of lower radiation dose and cost compared to Multi-Slice CT (MSCT).
FOV stands for Field of View in CBCT imaging.
