To determine the prevalence of incidental maxillary sinus fi ndings and assess their relationships with age and gender. CBCT scans of 412 patients, comprising of 824 maxillary sinuses were evaluated. The maxillary sinuses were observed for increased mucosal thickening, polypoidal-mucosal thickening, opacifi cation and other pathological changes. Correlations of these pathologic fi ndings with age and gender were analyzed. The incidence of the pathological fi ndings in maxillary sinuses observed was 30.1%. The most common abnormality observed as mucosal thickening followed by opacifi cation. No signifi cant correlation was observed between genders and diff erent age groups. Based on the observations of the present study, it can be concluded that the prevalence of incidental maxillary sinus abnormalities in Saudi Arabian observed on CBCT is considerably high.

“…The possibilities that CBCT provides for assessing asymmetries in the three spatial planes (length, breadth and depth) [11] offers advantages compared to 2D images which only allow assessing length and breadth 10 . However, for economic reasons and because it has not yet been incorporated into usual dental clinical practice is not common to use CBCT.…”

Longitudinal differences on the left and right sides of the jaw with respect to the midline in three spatial planes are called mandibular asymmetries. Objective: To determine the frequency of mandibular asymmetries in three spatial planes by means of Cone Beam computed tomography (CBCT) and classify them according to the degree of difference between both sides. Methods: A total of 40 Cone Beam volumetric tomography (New Tom 3G Cone Beam Volumetric tomographic scanner) records were analyzed using simple random sampling of patients between the ages of 18 and 70 from 2011 until 2013. Axial slices were obtained from the lingula in cranio-caudal direction every 5 mm until the gonial angle. Results: From the records, 2.5% showed moderate degree of difference in the length of the mandibular body with predominance on the right side. For breadth of the ramus, predominance was found on the left side. In the length of the mandibular ramus, 10% presented moderate degree of predominance on the right side. Conclusions: 1) asymmetries are more frequent at the level of the mandibular ramus thickness; (2) moderate and severe degrees of differences are most frequently found in the mandibular ramus thickness. 3) It is not possible to proportionally determine mandibular ramus thickness only with a 2D image

“…3,4 The impression of the mouth of the patient is captured with analog PVS method or with a digital intraoral scanner from which model is prepared and scanned. 5 This generates an optical scan providing a scan to 3D print (STL) file which can be simply and quickly overlaid onto DICOM (cone beam) file and generate a comprehensive STL file for importing in to guided surgery software program. In this guided surgery software, clinician is able to choose type of implant system and size of the implant.…”
