Abstract

Panoramic radiography is widely used as a tool supporting the diagnosis in dental practice. Currently the technology has evolved with the presence of radiographic imaging such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) that displays a three-dimensional picture. The purpose of this study was to determine large distortions that occur several regio in the mandible using digital panoramic radiographs and CBCT. Method experimental The research on one of the skull laboratories fitted staples vertically and horizontally in alveolar regions 31, 33, 35, 37, 41, 43, 45, 47, and then measured the length of the staples using the term digital. Furthermore, digital panoramic radiography performed with position 00, +50, +100, -50, -100 and CBCT radiography with 00 positions. Measurement description of radiopaque vertical and horizontal lines on digital panoramic radiographs and CBCT are computerized using the EZ software measurement menu. Calculating percentage distortion radiopaque overview of vertical and horizontal lines on digital panoramic radiographs and CBCT of the mandible by doing a comparison of the actual size of the skull. The results obtained on the percentage of minimal distortion of digital panoramic radiographs vertically was in the 31 region positioned +50at 0,23%, in the 33 region positioned 00at 5,99%, in the 35 region positioned -100at -6,33%, in the 37 region positioned +100at -1,46%, in the 41 region positioned -50at 0,46%, in the 43 region positioned 00at 0,52%, in the 45 region positioned +100at -0,45%, in the 47 region positioned +100at -4,76%. The percentage of minimal distortion of digital panoramic radiographs horizontally all of region was positioned 00. The percentage of minimal distortion of  CBCT all of region was positioned 00 and different on each mandible alveolar region. The conclusion of this study is average distortion that occurs in the mandible using CBCT is more less than digital panoramic radiographs. That is mean CBCT more accurate than digital panoramic radiographs.

Abstract

Background: Vegetarians are known to be more susceptible to experiencing bone mineral density decreases compared to nonvegetarians. The trabecular bone is sensitive to any changes that disrupt the balance of bone metabolism. On panoramic radiographs, bone density can be evaluated by analyzing the fractal dimensions (FD) of the mandibular trabecular bone. Purpose: This analytical cross-sectional study aimed to assess the mandibular trabecular bone FD values on panoramic radiographs of vegetarians and nonvegetarians in Medan City. Methods: This study used a purposive-sampling technique and obtained 30 digital panoramic radiographs of vegetarians and nonvegetarians in Medan City, aged 20 to 40 years, between January and February 2023, at the radiology installation of Dental and Oral Hospital Universitas Sumatera Utara and Laboratory Clinic Pramita Medan. Fractal analysis was performed using ImageJ 1.54c software with the box-counting method. The data distribution was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test. The data were analyzed using an independent samples T-test. Results: The results showed that the FD values of the mandibular trabecular bone were significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The mean FD values on the panoramic radiographs were lower in the vegetarian mandibular trabecular bone than in the nonvegetarian mandibular trabecular bone. Considerations need to be made by dentists when performing treatments related to mandibular trabecular bone surgery in vegetarians.

Abstract

Healthy behavior can affect the health of everyone's body. Dental and oral health is very important to always pay attention to because it is part of general health. To keep your teeth and mouth healthy, you can always keep your teeth and mouth clean every day. The easiest thing to do is to brush your teeth and wash your hands before eating. Techniques and the correct way of brushing teeth greatly affect dental hygiene. If the oral health is not good, then it requires a dental radiographic examination as a supporting examination to be able to determine the condition of the teeth and the supporting tissues of the teeth as a whole. This activity is based on the need to maintain dental and oral health from an early age, so that good behavior in maintaining health can be accustomed from childhood. In addition, there are still many children in junior high school who are not properly aware of the importance of dental health for general health. This counseling can increase knowledge and provide understanding and awareness about the importance of maintaining personal and oral health by brushing teeth regularly and washing hands properly.
