“…Such a large sample provides a better clarification of the importance of reviewing CBCT scans thoroughly as significant diseases such as malignancies and also those diseases that are relatively rare are more likely to be included in the sample size, for example, the malignancy cases which were the most significant and immediately life threatening to the subjects. Our study also compares well with current published manuscripts by Pliska et al [8] and Rogers et al [9] and Pazera et al [10] which all looked at incidental findings on CBCTs made on orthodontic patients. The advantage of our study in comparison to the above studies is that there is a greater likelihood of finding diseases when a wider age group of patients was included.…”

Background. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has gained widespread acceptance in dentistry for a variety of applications. Most dentists who are not radiologists/trained in radiology are generally not familiar with interpretation of anatomical structures and/or pathosis outside their area of primary interest, as often this was not within the scope of their training. Objectives. To assess that the number of incidental findings on a CBCT scan is high both within and outside of the primary area of interest, thereby emphasizing the importance of interpretation of all areas visualized on the scan. Materials and Methods. An oral and maxillofacial radiologist reviewed 1000 CBCT scans (382 males and 618 females) for findings both in- and outside the area of interest. Results. Of the 1000 subjects that were reviewed, 943 scans showed findings in the primary regions of interest and/or outside the regions of interest, and 76 different conditions were visualized in these scans both in and outside the areas of interest. Conclusion. From the wide scope of findings noted on these scans, it can be concluded that it is essential that a person trained in advanced interpretation techniques in radiology interprets cone beam computed tomography scans.

“…Unlike traditional two-dimensional (2D) radiography, CBCT avoids structural superimposition and image enlargement and distortion, thus allowing precise three-dimensional (3D) visualization of dental and maxillofacial structures at a lower radiation dose than multislice computed tomography (CT) 1. Such imaging frequently presents the dentist or orthodontist with incidental findings and may raise concerns about the need for further diagnostic tests or referral to other specialists 2,3…”

Prevalence of incidental maxillary sinus findings in Italian orthodontic patients: a retrospective cone-beam computed tomography study

et al. 2012

ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence of incidental maxillary sinus findings in a large sample of orthodontic patients by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with a wide field of view and assess the relationships of such abnormalities with age and gender.MethodsFive hundred thirteen CBCT scans obtained for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning in a Northern Italian population (N = 513; 292 female and 221 male subjects; 1,026 maxillary sinuses) were studied. The frequencies of pseudocysts and mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the influence of age and gender on these abnormalities.ResultsPseudocysts were detected in 52 patients (10.1%) and 59 sinuses (5.75%). Mucosal thickening was observed in 206 patients (40.1%) and 258 sinuses (25.1%). Gender and age were significantly associated with pseudocysts (p = 0.027) and mucosal thickening (p < 0.001), respectively.ConclusionsHalf of the orthodontic patients had incidental maxillary sinus findings. Men were more likely to show pseudocysts, and older patients (aged 41 - 60 years) were more likely to show mucosal thickening.

“…Bu nedenle KIBT'nin dikkatli incelenmesi ve diğer uzmanlar ile konsültasyon önerilmektedir. 6,7 Maksiller sinüs problemleri daha önce yapılan çalışma-larda incelenmiş ve bu patolojilerin klinik bulgu vermeyebildiği rapor edilmiştir. Semptom göstermeyen sinüs problemlerinin %10,9 ile %69 arasında bir oran gösterdiği bildirilmiştir.…”

Materials and Methods:One hundred fifteen (57 female and 58 male subjects) CBCT scans were randomly selected among the archives of orthodontics department. The prevalance of inflammation, mucosal thickening, septum and mucocele of the maxillary sinuses were examined. Results:The most frequent maxillary sinus pathologies were sinus (antral) septum (32 sinuses, 13.9%), mucocele (23 sinuses, 10%), complex problems (18 sinuses, 7.8%), inflammation (11 sinuses, 4.8 %), and mucosal thickening (6 sinuses, 2.6%). Conclusions:The incidence of maxillary sinus findings were found in 90 sinuses (%39.1). And the 18 sinuses had complex problems. The sinuses that included complex problems had the %20 percentage in 90 sinuses. And there was no statistically significant relationship between frequency of sinus findings and gender.
