Teeth Impaction and Structural Teeth Anomalies.

Dentists and oral and maxillofacial radiologists have used periapical, occlusal, panoramic, and cephalometric radiographs for many years for diagnosing dental anomalies, especially before orthodontic or surgical treatment. Cone beam computed tomography was developed in recent years especially for the dental and maxillofacial region. Thus it has become the imaging modality of choice for many clinical situations, such as the assessment of dental impaction and structural teeth anomalies or other associated diseases and disorders (e.

A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF RESIDENTS' PERCEPTION OF THEIR TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING.

Unlabelled: The aim of this preliminary study was to assess the residents' perception on their training program and on their knowledge regarding the use and interpretation of three-dimensional imaging techniques in their clinical practice.

Material And Methods: A multi-item questionnaire was distributed among 104 residents training in four medical specialties at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Grigore T. Popa" in Iaşi.

A software tool used in 3D evaluation of the alveolar bone defect in bilateral cleft lip and palate patients.

Unlabelled: Evaluation of the cleft size and the assessment of an estimative volume required for bone grafting provide useful information to the surgeon performing secondary alveolar bone grafting.

Aim: To use a software tool to evaluate the estimative volume of the bone defect in the alveolar cleft area, based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data.

Material And Methods: Three patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) were randomly selected in the order of referral to treatment at "Saint Mary" Emergency Hospital for Children.
