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.
