Abstract

Background: The aim of the study is to determine the reasons for Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) demands in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Department of Eskişehir Osmangazi University. Methods: Reasons of request for 843 CBCTs randomly selected from Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology archives were evaluated retrospectively. The reasons were classified according to the pre-diagnosis / request reasons recorded by the physicians for the CBCT requests on the patient information and management system, and their frequencies were calculated. Results: The age range of 403 male and 440 female patients was 6.83 (mean 29.41±17.212). The most common request was for pathologies with 228 cases as 27%. The demands for orthodontics and impacted teeth were in the second and third order 185 cases (21.9%) and 169 cases (20%) respectively. Four cases with maxillofacial trauma were in the bottom of the list with 0.5%. Conclusion: Thanks to its features such as affordable cost, low radiation dose and three-dimensional image creation, CBCT has become widespread in dental practice and is preferred for different purposes. Our study revealed that the need for CBCT especially for the evaluation of intraosseous pathologies and orthodontic analysis has increased. On the other hand, ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles should be taken into consideration in the use of CBCT and the CBCT request should be avoided when not necessary.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Anabilim Dalı Radyoloji kliniğinde çekilmiş Konik Işınlı Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (KIBT)’lerin istem nedenlerinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi arşivinden rastgele seçilen 843 KIBT’ın istem nedenleri retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hasta bilgi ve yönetim sistemi üzerinde KIBT istemleri için hekimler tarafından kaydedilen Ön tanı/İstem gerekçelerine göre nedenler sınıflandırıldı ve frekansları hesaplandı. Bulgular: Hastaların 403’ü erkek ve 440’ı kadındı. Yaş aralıkları 6-83 (ortalama 29.41±17.212) idi. En sık istem nedeni olan kemik içi patolojiler 228 vaka ile %27 oranındaydı. Ortodontik sebeplerle istenen 185 (%21,9) ve gömülü dişler için istenen 169 (%20) vaka ikinci ve üçüncü grupları oluşturuyordu. Maksillofasiyal travma nedeniyle KIBT istenen dört vaka %0,5 oranla en alt sıradaydı. Sonuç: KIBT’ın uygun maliyeti, düşük radyasyon dozuyla üç boyutlu olarak görüntü oluşturması gibi özellikleri sayesinde diş hekimliği pratiğinde kullanımı yaygınlaşmış olup farklı endikasyonlar için kullanımı tercih edilmektedir. Çalışmamız özellikle kemik içi patolojilerin değerlendirilebilmesi ve ortodontik analiz için KIBT ihtiyacının arttığını ortaya koymuştur. Buna karşılık KIBT kullanımında ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) prensibi göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
