Abstract

Background: The parallel technique stands as a prominent method for radiographic examinations aiming to identify furcation involvement. Nevertheless, an inherent limitation lies in the frequent superimposition of the trifurcation region with tooth roots, potentially leading to inaccurate diagnoses. The Same Lingual Opposite Buccal (SLOB) technique was devised to yield radiographic images that alleviate superimposition at the trifurcation of the maxillary first molar. Purpose: to observe and compare the radiographic images of the trifurcation region of the maxillary first molar generated through the SLOB technique with the film holder modification set at a mesial and distal angulation of 20Ëš with the parallel technique. Methods: This observational analytic research encompassed a sample size of 24 instances. Each individual sample underwent three separate exposures: the SLOB technique with a horizontal angulation of 20Ëš towards both mesial and distal directions, and the parallel technique (serving as the control). Results: a significant difference in radiographic images of the trifurcation region of the maxillary first molar obtained through the SLOB technique, employing the film holder modification with a mesial angulation of 20Ëš and a distal angulation of 20Ëš, as opposed to the parallel technique (control). Conclusion: A radiographic image capturing the trifurcation of the maxillary first molar, devoid of superimposition, was successfully generated through the SLOB technique incorporating a horizontal angulation of 20Ëš towards the distal direction.

Abstract

Background: Radiography is essential in dentistry for diagnosis and treatment planning, with two-dimensional imaging such as panoramic and periapical radiographs being commonly used. The advancement to three-dimensional imaging, specifically Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), provides more detailed visualization but remains underutilized due to limited availability and knowledge among dentists in Indonesia. Purpose: This research is aimed to determine the knowledge and experience of using 2D and 3D diagnostic imaging among dentists in Surabaya. Methods: This research is using an observational descriptive study with a cross-sectional design consisting of 100 dentists who are domiciled in Surabaya and registered with PDGI in Surabaya. Results: The result showed that dentists’ knowledge of 2D diagnostic imaging with a good category has a percentage of 18%, quite good category with 49% and poor category with 33%. Meanwhile, the dentists’ knowledge of 3D diagnostic imaging with a good category has a percentage of 9%, quite good category with 36% and poor category with 55%. Around 88% of respondents have referred their patients for panoramic and periapical radiographs, while only about 22% of dentists have referred their patients for CBCT examinations. Conclusion: The knowledge of dentists regarding 2D diagnostic imaging is quite good, while the knowledge of dentists regarding 3D diagnostic imaging is low. The majority of dentists in Surabaya often refer their patients for panoramic and periapical radiographic examinations compared to referring them for CBCT examinations.
