“No man is an island” as the quotation goes So it is with this compilation, which is the result of the
combined efforts of the intrepid group of authors, Axel, Dania, David, Grace, Margot, Pete, Ric, and
Susanne, who embarked on this journey with me almost two years ago Many thanks are owed to them for
Trang 13their dedication and hard work A special thanks is due to Dania Tamimi whose insight and vision was the original inspiration for this book and who has been a source of wisdom and support throughout the writing.
We are grateful to the many colleagues who shared images with us, but I wish to recognize two in
particular, Mansur Ahmad and Marcel Noujeim, who gave generously from their libraries and whose images feature frequently in this tome
Many thanks to Kellie Heap at Amirsys who possesses saint-like patience and who was unbelievably helpful and the glue that held our team together And to Ric Harnsberger, what can I say? Thank you, thank you, for having faith in me and giving me this incredible opportunity It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with the remarkably talented people at Amirsys

Preface
It is with great pleasure that we present to you this first edition of the Diagnostic Imaging series dedicated
to oral and maxillofacial radiology The book was written by oral and maxillofacial radiologists and offers a dentist's perspective on oral and maxillofacial imaging with complete and accurate dental anatomy and nomenclature, as well as findings that affect the many aspects of dental treatment This book differs from the traditional Diagnostic Imaging format in that it contains anatomy, diagnoses, and differential diagnoses sections within the same volume
Anatomy section: The 31 chapters in this section cover the spectrum of oral and maxillofacial anatomy from embryology of the teeth to carotid arteries Each chapter is extensively illustrated with the
extraordinary graphics that have become synonymous with the Amirsys name The inclusion of this section underscores our belief that a comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy of the region is an essential component of the radiographic interpretation process
Diagnoses section: This section contains 185 chapters organized within anatomically oriented subdivisions beginning with conditions affecting the teeth and ending with parotid space lesions Included in this section
is an extensive collection of temporomandibular joint disorders While scarcity of images did not allow us
to include some of the more esoteric diagnoses, we think you will find all of the common and most of the not-so common lesions encountered in the oral and maxillofacial region
Differential diagnoses section: There are 38 chapters included in this section, which offers a unique and intuitive method for interpreting pathology according to radiographic appearance
This is an image-rich textbook, containing over 2,300 images in print, and offers the reader a
comprehensive review of the oral and maxillofacial complex Whenever possible and appropriate, beam CT (CBCT) and CT images have been included to illustrate the three-dimensional aspects of the anatomy and pathology The electronic version of the book contains many, many more images, as well as information that was excluded from the print book because of space constraints The electronic version also allows for linking between chapters, allowing the reader to easily navigate between the different sections of the book
cone-We trust that this textbook will serve as a useful tool to both the neophyte and the seasoned radiologist, as well as those dental specialists or general practitioners who are currently using CT and/or CBCT technology
or anticipate using this technology in the future Medical radiologists with an interest in the oral and
maxillofacial region will find this book a valuable companion to Diagnostic Imaging: Head and Neck, Second Edition

Art Direction and Design
Humans have 2 dentitions: Primary and permanent
Teeth are divided into maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower)
Each jaw is divided into 2 quadrants: Right and left separated by midline
Each quadrant has 5 primary and 8 permanent teeth
o Primary: 2 incisors (central and lateral), 1 canine, 2 molars (1st and 2nd)
o Permanent: 2 incisors (central and lateral), 1 C, 2 PM (1st and 2nd), 3 M (1st, 2nd, and 3rd)
Teeth can be named or numbered
Naming teeth should follow this sequence: Dentition → jaw → side → tooth name
o Example: Primary maxillary right 1st molar; permanent mandibular left canine
o Exceptions are premolars and 3rd molars: Only present in permanent dentition, so no need
to use “permanent”
o If only permanent teeth are present (all primary teeth have been exfoliated), no need to use “permanent”
Numbering teeth depends on country
o Most countries use FDI system for numbering
Quadrants are numbered
Trang 15 Permanent: Upper right (UR) = 1, upper left (UL) = 2, lower left (LL) = 3, lower right (LR) = 4
Primary: Upper right (UR) = 5, upper left (UL) = 6, lower left (LL) = 7, lower right (LR)
= 8
Teeth are numbered
Permanent: Central Inc = 1, lateral Inc = 2, C = 3, 1st PM = 4, 2nd PM = 5, 1st M = 6, 2nd M = 7, 3rd M=8
Primary: Central Inc = 1, lateral Inc = 2, C = 3, 1st M = 4, 2nd M = 5
Example: Permanent mandibular right 1st M = tooth #46 (pronounced “four-six”)
o United States uses universal system
Only teeth are numbered
Permanent teeth start with #1 (maxillary right 3rd M) and go to #16 (maxillary left 3rd M) pronounced “sixteen”
Mandibular left 3rd M is #17 (seventeen) and goes to mandibular right 3rd M #32 (thirty-two)
Primary teeth are labeled with letters A → T starting with last molar on upper right:
UR → UL→ LL → LR
o Other tooth numbering systems exist; check with local dental organization
o When in doubt, describe teeth by name
Anatomy Relationships
When describing teeth or objects in relation to teeth, conventional anatomic positions (inferior, posterior, medial, lateral, anterior, posterior) are not used
Position is described in relation to
o Midline of arch (i.e., line between central incisors), not anatomical midline
All surfaces of teeth that are in direction of midline of arch are “mesial”
All surfaces of teeth away from midline of arch are “distal”
o Inside or outside of arch
Surfaces toward face are facial (can use buccal if posterior, labial if anterior)
Surfaces toward tongue are lingual (can use palatal if maxillary)
o Anatomic tooth
If above crown of tooth, use “coronal to”
If below apices of tooth, use “apical to”
Eruption Patterns
3 phases of eruption: Primary, mixed, and permanent dentitions
Primary dentition
o Starts to erupt between 6-12 months
o 1st teeth are usually lower central incisors; last teeth are 2nd molars
Mixed dentition
o A combination of primary and permanent teeth have erupted
o 1st permanent teeth are permanent 1st molars at 6 years
o Exfoliation of primary incisors followed by eruption of permanent incisors (6-9 years)
o Exfoliation of primary mandibular Cs followed by eruption of permanent mandibular Cs
(9-10 years)
o Exfoliation of primary Ms followed by eruption of PMs (10-12 years)
o Exfoliation of primary maxillary Cs followed by eruption of permanent Cs (11-12 years)
Trang 16 Teeth are made up of 4 basic anatomic structures: Enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp
o Enamel
Hardest substance in body = most mineralized (95% calcified) = highest radiographic density
Covers crown of tooth; contacts dentin at dentinoenamel junction (DEJ)
Contacts cementum at cementoenamel junction (CEJ)
Develops from ameloblasts
Not visible radiographically unless hypercementosis occurs
o Pulp (a.k.a “nerve”)
Vital portion of tooth (tooth “dies” when pulp dies)
Contains nerves and vessels that enter and emerge through apical foramen of tooth
Most radiolucent portion of tooth
Crown portion called “pulp chamber” with pointy “pulp horns”; root portion called
“pulp canal”
Teeth are made up of crown and root
o Crown: Everything above CEJ
Further subdivided into occlusal/incisal, middle, and cervical thirds
Incisors have incisal edges as functional component; all other teeth have cusps
o Root: Everything below CEJ
Further subdivided into cervical, middle, and apical thirds
Teeth can have single root or be multirooted; area between roots of tooth is called
“furcation area”
Roots are named according to location in alveolar process: Buccal, lingual, mesial, distal, mesiobuccal, distobuccal
Periodontium
Primary function is to support teeth; when teeth are lost, periodontal bone recedes
Made up of periodontal bone, periodontal ligaments, and gingiva
o Periodontal bone
Portion of alveolar processes of maxilla and mandible that come in direct contact with teeth
Most cervical aspect called “crest”; corticated when healthy
If tooth is lost, most cervical aspect of bone is called “residual ridge”
Bone at apex of tooth called “periapical bone”
Bone in furcation area called “furcal bone”
Thin radiopaque line seen radiographically lining tooth socket is called “lamina dura”
o Periodontal ligament (PDL)
Multidirectional fibers that attach tooth to socket; offer resilience to tooth during function
Radiographically seen as uniform radiolucent line on inside of lamina dura
If loses uniformity, suspect pathology
Trang 17 Houses epithelial rests of Malassez, which may contribute to formation of cyst lining for odontogenic cysts
Position in relation to tooth can determine if lesion is attached to tooth structure (inside PDL) or not (outside PDL)
o Gingiva (a.k.a “gums”)
Soft tissue component covering periodontal bone
Attaches to root to form small gingival sulcus with crown; cannot be visualized radiographically
Tooth Development and Tumorigenesis
Potential sources for development of tumors
o Pre-functional dental lamina (odontogenic epithelium with ability to produce tooth); more abundant distal to lower 3rd molars
o Post-functional dental lamina: Epithelial remnants such as rests of Serres in fibrous gingival tissue; epithelial cell rests of Malassez in PDL and reduced enamel organ epithelium (covers the enamel surface until tooth eruption)
o Basal cell layer of gingival epithelium (source of dental lamina)
o Dental papilla (origin of dental pulp); can be induced to produce odontoblasts and
synthesize dentin &/or dentinoid material
o Horizontal bitewings for caries and early periodontal disease detection
o Vertical bitewings for moderate to severe periodontal disease
o Periapical radiographs if periapical pathology is suspected
o Pros: High-resolution images showing fine changes in demineralization; low radiation dose, especially if F-speed film or digital radiography is used
o Cons: Limited to dimensions of intraoral film, cannot see lesions or impacted teeth if they extend beyond
For general overview of teeth in jaws: Panoramic radiography
o Shows eruption pattern and impactions of teeth; presence of intraosseous pathology
o Pros: Cost effective; lower radiation dose when compared to CBCT
o Cons: Distortion, magnification and blurring can impede evaluation
For relationship of impacted teeth with vital anatomic structures: CBCT
o Can show inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) canals in relation to 3rd molars if extraction is planned
o Can show relationship of impacted canines to anterior superior alveolar canal, nasopalatine canal, and floor of nasal cavity
o Pros: 3D representation of 3-dimensional structures; 3D reformations can be obtained to give exact visualization of anatomy

TOOTH ERUPTION
Trang 19(Top) Graphic shows process of tooth eruption: (A) enamel organ reduces to thin layers covering enamel and secretes enzymes, (B) fusion of the reduced enamel epithelium with the oral epithelium, (C)
disintegration of the central fused tissues, leaving a canal for tooth movement, and (D) peripheral fused tissues peel back from the crown as the tooth erupts and form initial junctional epithelium that migrate cervically to cementoenamel junction (Bottom) The age of the patient can be determined by examining the eruption of the teeth This CBCT 3D reformation shows that the permanent incisors and 1st molars have erupted, but the premolars have not This puts the patient's age at between 8-10 years 3D reformations can be helpful in evaluation of erupting teeth if malocclusion and malalignment are present Note that the maxillary right central incisor has not fully erupted although the apical foramen is almost closed This may
be due to ankylosis (loss of PDL) of the tooth (Courtesy 3D Diagnostix, Inc.)
Trang 20(Top) The maxilla has 16 permanent teeth arranged in 2 quadrants: the upper right (UR) quadrant, also known as quadrant 1, and the upper left (UL) quadrant, also known as quadrant 2 Eruption ages are in parenthesis The functional cusps on the maxillary posterior teeth are lingual (palatal) cusps (Bottom) The mandible has 16 permanent teeth arranged in 2 quadrants: the lower left (LL) quadrant, also known as quadrant 3, and the lower right (LR) quadrant, also known as quadrant 4 Eruption ages are noted in parentheses The functional cusps on the mandibular posterior teeth are the buccal (facial) cusps The permanent maxillary and mandibular incisors and canines have similarly named deciduous predecessors The predecessors of the 1st and 2nd premolar teeth are the 1st and 2nd deciduous molars respectively The deciduous incisors and canines have a single root, the mandibular deciduous molars have 2 roots, and the maxillary deciduous molars have 3 roots

HUMAN DENTITIONS
Trang 21(Top) Panoramic reformat of CBCT data shows a patient at the primary dentition stage All 20 primary teeth have erupted into the oral cavity and are in occlusion, but all permanent teeth are still unerupted
Examination of the follicles of the permanent teeth for any displacement or expansion is recommended when evaluating images for the primary dentition phase It is also important to note any missing
permanent teeth to aid in future orthodontic treatment planning (Middle) Panoramic radiograph shows a patient at the mixed dentition stage The upper and lower permanent 1st molars have erupted, as well as the upper and lower incisors As the premolars have not erupted yet, it means the patient's age is between
Trang 22(Top) Graphic representation shows a mandibular 1st molar in cross section through the mesial root Identification of the location of pathology in relation to the DEJ and CEJ helps in classifying caries and periodontal disease Mandibular posterior teeth are tilted slightly lingually to fit the opposing teeth
following the curve of Wilson Cross sections of the teeth are the most common reformation for dental applications, such as implant and impaction analysis, as they allow for evaluation of alveolar bone width and height and accurate localization of the IAN canal (Bottom) Graphic representation shows sagittal cross section of a mandibular 1st molar The tooth is attached to the socket through the periodontal ligaments The crest of the healthy alveolar bone is located about 1-2 mm apical to the CEJ of a tooth Innervation and vasculature exit through the apical foramen, but on occasion lateral canals may exit through the lateral aspects of the root If pulpal death occurs, bacteria can seep through the lateral canals, causing lateral radicular abscesses and cysts, and through the apical foramina, causing periapical inflammation

DENTAL RADIOGRAPHIC ANATOMY
Trang 23(Top) Periapical radiograph shows normal dental and periodontal anatomy The periodontal ligament (PDL) space is a thin radiolucent line that surrounds the root of the tooth The lamina dura is a thin radiopaque line that surrounds the tooth socket radiographically Healthy alveolar bone crests (crestal laminae dura) are corticated Nutrient canals may appear as small corticated canals within the bone connected to the apical foramen (Courtesy M Kroona, DXT.) (Bottom) Periapical radiograph of the central incisors shows the normal anatomic landmarks in this area It is important to realize that soft and hard tissue superimpositions may occur when imaging teeth, and their recognition is necessary to determine normal from abnormal Evaluation of the interproximal contact point and crown contours is important as caries tends to occur
Trang 24(Top) Cross sections and panoramic and 3D reformations using Simplant® software show the IAN canal traveling between the roots of the distoangularly impacted mandibular left 3rd molar (Courtesy 3D Diagnostix, Inc.) (Middle) Panoramic and 3D reformations show a horizontally impacted left 3rd molar with its crown oriented distally and an impacted supernumerary tooth (4th molar) with its crown oriented mesially, both lying on top of the left IAN canal The right 3rd molar is horizontally impacted with its crown oriented mesially CBCT imaging can aid in predicting and preventing nerve damage when removing 3rd molars surgically (Courtesy 3D Diagnostix, Inc.) (Bottom) 3D reformation shows the left IAN going through the mesial root of the mesioangularly impacted mandibular left 3rd molar This occurs during tooth
development due to proximity of the tooth follicle to the IAN, which is engulfed in the root as it develops and calcifies (Courtesy 3D Diagnostix, Inc.)

TOOTH IMPACTIONS
Trang 25(Top) CBCT 3D reformation with transparent bone shows the vertical impaction of the permanent canines with lingual placement of the crowns and slight facial tipping of the roots Knowledge of this orientation aids the surgeon in deciding on the entry point for either extraction or exposure of the crowns for
placement of an orthodontic bracket (Courtesy 3D Diagnostix, Inc) (Middle) The bone can also be
“removed” on CBCT 3D reformations to further visualize the relationship of the teeth with one another This image shows unerupted maxillary canines with the crowns oriented facially The roots are not
completely formed (Courtesy 3D Diagnostix, Inc.) (Bottom) CBCT 3D reformation using Simplant® software shows an impacted mandibular canine The position of the impacted tooth in relation to the erupted dentition can easily be determined with 3D reformation Virtual extractions (digital removal of teeth) can also be performed (Courtesy 3D Diagnostix, Inc.)

Implants
o Osseointegrated root form replacement of teeth restored with crown
o Discussed in implant chapter
Complete and partial dentures
o Removable dentures used when several or all teeth are missing
o Should be removed from mouth prior to imaging to prevent metal artifact unless scan with denture is requested
Endodontics
Gutta percha
o Cone-shaped flexible radiopaque material that can be condensed to fill tapering prepared root canal
o Should be no more than 1 mm from apex inside root; 0.5 mm is ideal
o If extends beyond apex, called “overfill”
o If more than 1 mm from apex (within root canal) called “underfilled” or “short”
Sealer cement

o Lost when tooth is exfoliated
Space maintainer
o Teeth will drift mesially when adjacent mesial tooth is extracted
o To ensure enough space for permanent successor tooth, space maintainer is placed on tooth adjacent to edentulous space
o Many different types: Fixed and removable; unilateral and bilateral
o Band and loop space maintainer: Made of band soldered to thick wire formed to abut with tooth mesial to edentulous space, preventing drift
ANATOMY IMAGING ISSUES
Imaging Recommendations
MR for orthodontic patients
If MR of head and neck
o Temporary removal of fixed and removable orthodontic appliances to prevent artifact
o If MR of other body structures
Stainless steel archwire is magnetic and should be removed
All orthodontic brackets and bands should be secured Imaging Pitfalls
Dental restorations can cause metal streaking and beam hardening artifact on CT and signal voids
on MR, marring evaluation of adjacent bone and soft tissue
o Plain film radiographic and clinical examination is recommended for evaluation of bone and dental lesions if artifact is excessive
o To reduce artifact when examining oral cavity soft tissues on CT and MR, obtain scans without teeth crowns in field of view

PERIAPICALS AND AXIAL CBCT
Trang 28(Top) Bitewing radiograph shows several posterior restorations Amalgam is metallic and, therefore, appears completely radiopaque (image void) Posterior composite restorations can be used for more esthetic results if clinically indicated, and appear radiolucent (if of 1st generation composites), posing a diagnostic challenge if evaluating for recurrent caries Composites with radiopaque fillers appear
moderately radiopaque (Courtesy B Friedland, BDS.) (Middle) Bitewing radiograph shows 2 types of amalgam restorations that are named according to surfaces replaced (occlusal [class I], mesio- or disto-occlusal [class II], amalgam build-up, etc.) If treatment of a tooth has not been completed, or if a period of pulpal healing is required after deep caries excavation, a temporary (interim) filling may be placed If a root canal-treated tooth is awaiting a crown, a cotton ball is placed to separate the gutta percha from the sticky temporary filling (Courtesy B Friedland, BDS.) (Bottom) Axial CBCT shows several anterior composite restorations which are currently radiopaque in varying degrees

CBCT AXIAL AND PERIAPICALS
Trang 29(Top) Axial CBCT shows multiple rounded well-defined radiolucencies on the proximal surfaces of the teeth, representing radiolucent oldgeneration composite restorations (Middle) A periapical radiograph shows a full metal coverage crown on the mandibular left 1st molar The contours of the crown should follow the original contours of the tooth with no overhangs or open margins This tooth is root canal treated, and the filling material in the mesial root is short, which may mean that a portion of the root canal was not
instrumented to remove debris, presenting a risk for periapical rarefying osteitis (Courtesy B Friedland, BDS.) (Bottom) A periapical radiograph shows a porcelain fused to metal (PFM) bridge The teeth onto which the bridge is fixed are called abutments and are covered with crowns The portion that replaces the missing tooth is called a pontic According to the number of teeth involved and replaced, the bridge is called a “3-unit, 4-unit, 5-unit, etc bridge “ (Courtesy B Friedland, BDS.)

CBCT REFORMATS
Trang 31(Top) CBCT sagittal reformat shows a restoration of glass ionomer cement (GIC) in the buccal cervical region of this anterior tooth GICs are used to restore carious or tooth wear lesions that occur on the root surface of the tooth, or partially in enamel and partially in dentin (Middle) Coronal CBCT shows rapid palatal expander, which is a type of fixed appliance that is used to quickly increase the width of the
maxillary arch by splitting the intermaxillary suture before puberty It is cemented onto the posterior teeth
of the patient (Bottom) Axial CBCT shows orthodontic separators (spacers) that are placed between the molars before fixed appliances, such as a palatal expander or orthodontic bands, are applied Spacers are circular rubber bands about a centimeter in diameter placed between adjacent molars There may be 1-12
Trang 32(Top) Axial CBCT shows a traditional fixed orthodontic appliance, which consists of: 1) brackets fixed to the facial surfaces of teeth, 2) bands that are cemented to 1 posterior tooth bilaterally, and 3) arch wire that is fixed to the brackets with elastic bands As the arch wire is highly magnetic, a visit to the orthodontist is recommended to remove the archwire if the patient is scheduled for an MR study (Middle) Axial CBCT shows caries in a tooth with an orthodontic band and bracket Meticulous oral hygiene should be
maintained for the duration of the orthodontic treatment to prevent plaque accumulation and the
development of caries (Bottom) Orthodontic brackets are placed on the crown of the tooth, and force is applied through the tightening of the orthodontic wire attached to them With the movement of the teeth, widening of the PDL space along the surface of the tooth away from the direction of the movement of the root is commonly seen In this cross sectional CBCT, the widening is noted on the lingual surface of the root due to the facial tipping of the root
3 Dental Implants
TERMINOLOGY
Definitions
Metal devices that osseointegrate in alveolar process to replace missing teeth
o Usually made out of titanium and surgically placed into jawbone where tooth is missing
Trang 33o Period of osseointegration is needed before crown placement, except in cases of
immediate implants IMPLANT TYPES AND PROCEDURES
Types of Implants
Root form
o Most commonly used
o Cylindrical or may be tapered
o May be smooth or serrated (or have holes for osseointegration)
Zygomatic
o Can be used with severe atrophy of maxillary alveolar process
Pterygoid
o Can be used when there is severe atrophy of maxillary alveolar process or maxillectomies
Mini orthodontic implants (temporary anchorage devices [TADs])
o Used for orthodontic anchorage for a variety of orthodontic procedures
o May be cylindrical, miniscrew or miniplates
Subperiosteal
o Not used anymore
o Involves exposing bone surgically, making an impression, and creating implant to fit bone, which is then reexposed to allow for implant fitting and then covered with mucosa
Blade type
o Not used anymore
o Thin in faciolingual dimension (hence name)
Transosteal
o Components attach from inferior border of mandible through bone to alveolar process Augmentation of Deficient Alveolar Process
Sinus grafting
o Graft material placed under sinus periosteum to give resorbed alveolar process height
Can be introduced through Caldwell Luc procedure
Ridge augmentation
o Resorbed facial bone can be augmented
o Screws may be used to retain graft
Socket grafting
o Dense grainy material taking shape of tooth socket
o Can be confused with healing of socket by dense bone; correlate with clinical history
Materials used in grafting
o Autologous bone
Can be harvested locally from jaw bones or from iliac crest (for larger samples)
Induces osteogenesis
o Allografts
Freeze-dried bone or demineralized freeze-dried bone from cadavers
Osteoinduction: Cells stimulated to form bone
Trang 34 Does not show faciolingual dimension
Panoramic Radiography
Can be used in all stages of treatment
↓ costly & ↓ radiation than more advanced imaging
Inherent image distortion and magnification
Does not show faciolingual dimension
Conventional Tomography
Can be used for treatment planning, surgery, and healing phases
Faciolingual dimension can be visualized
Magnification occurs, but is uniform
Less expensive and less radiation than CT
Has less definition than plain film imaging
Limited availability; being phased out by CBCT machines
CBCT Imaging
Can be used for treatment planning, surgery, and evaluation of complications
Ideal for evaluation of multiple sites and full mouth implant planning
Measurements accurate within 1 mm
Evaluation of bone density can be done
Software can help with treatment planning through implant simulation and 3D reformation
More costly and more radiation than 2-dimensional imaging techniques
Metal streaking, beam hardening, and volume averaging artifacts impede evaluation of bone around existing implants
o Periapical radiography is recommended to evaluate healing and suspected failing implants MDCT Imaging
Can be used for treatment planning, surgery, and evaluation of complications
All other advantages of CBCT
Ability to visualize soft tissue if needed
Needs dental imaging software (e.g., “DentaScan”)
Very costly and highest dose of radiation
Metal streaking, beam hardening, and partial volume artifact impede evaluation of bone around
existing implants
MR Imaging
Not indicated for implant imaging
MR for other indication: Implants generally safe unless contain magnetically activated components

PROGRESSION OF BONE LOSS AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION
Trang 35(Top) Coronal graphic shows the progression of bone loss in the maxillary and mandibular posterior
alveolar processes when teeth are lost Due to the action of the buccinator muscles, the facial plate of the bone resorbs, resulting in an increasingly lingualized crest of the ridge Severe loss of mandibular alveolar bone may result in exposure of the IAN canal When replacing the missing teeth, the implants need to be placed in a fashion that allows appropriate intercuspation with the opposing tooth following the curve of Wilson, a mediolateral curve that contacts the buccal and lingual cusp tips of each side of the arch
(Bottom) Graphic shows progression of bone loss in the maxillary and mandibular anterior alveolar
processes The orbicularis oris muscle remodels the facial aspect of both processes, while the lingual aspect
of the mandibular process is resorbed due to action of the tongue The ridge becomes “knife-edge” and may require alveoloplasty or grafting to contour it to acceptable morphology Implant crowns should mimic
Trang 36(Top) A curvilinear line is drawn on this axial image, following the curve of the arch where the implants will
be placed The line should run parallel to the facial and lingual cortices of the jaw bone of interest (Middle)
A panoramic reformation is generated from the curvilinear reformat, giving an overview of the area of interest A radiographic stent is recommended with all dental implant cases to show the orientation of the proposed implant in relation to the remaining alveolar bone in the area These may be worn by the patient during scanning or scanned separately on a model, fusing that image with the patient scan (Bottom) CBCT cross section shows slight lingual undercut in the area of the radiographic marker The orientation of the height measurement should align with the long axis of the marker post on radiographic stent The width measurement is taken perpendicular to the height measurement in the area of thinnest faciolingual width The purpose of any implant work-up is to avoid perforation of the lingual cortex and IAN (mandibular) canal

IAN ANOMALIES
Trang 37(Top) Cropped panoramic reformation of CBCT data shows that the inferior alveolar canals can exhibit many anomalies, such as double canals (as seen here) or anomalous branches with facial or lingual
foramina Thin slice panoramic reformats can show the presence of IAN canal anomalies These are
important to define during implant treatment planning to avoid surgical surprises (Middle) Cross section CBCT of the same patient shows a double IAN canal Anomalous canals may or may not be well corticated (Bottom) Coronal CBCT of the anterior mandible shows the extent of the incisive nerves The anterior intraosseous extension of the IAN is called the incisive nerve The incisive nerve comes off the IAN before it exits through the mental foramen, extending anteriorly to the midline where it may connect with the lingual canal, as seen here Because this is not always visible on radiographic imaging, during implant planning for the lower anterior region, special consideration should be given to the existence of this neurovascular bundle
P.I(1):22
Trang 38(Top) Panoramic reformat of CBCT data shows a maxillary sinus graft with implants in place This type of graft is placed with a Caldwell-Luc procedure called a sinus lift Graft material is placed between the mucosal lining of the sinus and the bony floor of the sinus to give height to alveolar bone that has either atrophied or been pneumatized by the maxillary sinus (Middle) Axial CBCT shows graft material particles placed on the facial surface of the maxillary anterior alveolar process to augment the ridge Autologous bone graft pieces may be fixed with fixation screws Depending on size, graft material takes from 4-10 months to resorb into the bone and create more height or width (Bottom) Cross section CBCT shows high-density grainy material noted in the socket of a maxillary central incisor This procedure is usually done at extraction to preserve the facial-lingual dimension of the bone, as the facial bone tends to resorb after extraction

IMPLANT ERRORS
Trang 39(Top) Sagittal CBCT shows implants replacing posterior teeth that have perforated the superior border of the inferior alveolar canal The apices of the implants are seen within the canal and are likely compressing
or lacerating the inferior alveolar nerve (Courtesy S White, DDS, PhD.) (Middle) Coronal CBCT from the same patient shows possible compression of the left inferior alveolar nerve Compare to the normal size and morphology of the IAN canal on the right side Patients with such injuries may present with pain, tingling, or paresthesia Such injuries can be avoided with appropriate imaging and treatment planning
Trang 40(Top) Cross section CBCT shows an implant replacing a maxillary canine that was placed with excessive facial inclination Normally, the maxillary teeth overlap the mandibular teeth facially, and the lower
anterior teeth should be in functional occlusal contact with the lingual aspect of the maxillary teeth The angulation of the implant in this image would not allow restoration with a crown that is in contact with the mandibular canine Stripping of the the facial cortex of the maxillary alveolar bone is noted, which may compromise replacement Esthetics may also be compromised (Middle) Sagittal CBCT shows an implant apex fracture that can occur due to heavy loading of the implant, such as with clenching and bruxism, or during removal of an implant for other reasons (Bottom) CBCT panoramic reformat shows the implant replacing the maxillary right lateral incisor appearing to be in the right anterior superior alveolar canal This was confirmed on cross sections
