Caries-detector dyes--how accurate and useful are they? (1/108)
Commercially available caries-detector dyes are purported to aid the dentist in differentiation of infected dentin, yet research has established that these dyes are not specific for infected dentin. They are non-specific protein dyes that stain the organic matrix of less mineralized dentin, including normal circumpulpal dentin and sound dentin in the area of the amelo-dentinal junction. A considerable body of evidence indicates that conventional tactile and optical criteria provide satisfactory assessment of caries status during cavity preparation. There is reason for concern that subsequent use of a caries-detector dye would result in unnecessary removal of sound tooth structure. The use of caries-detector dyes has also been suggested as a diagnostic aid for occlusal caries. Although diagnosis of carious dentin beneath apparently sound enamel can be challenging, there is a lack of substantive evidence supporting the use of dyes for this purpose and false positives are a significant concern. Careful visual inspection combined with bitewing radiographic diagnosis has been shown to be the most reliable diagnostic method for the presence of infected dentin requiring operative treatment. (+info)Evaluation of computer aided learning in developing clinical decision-making skills. (2/108)
AIM: The aim of this study was to determine whether an educational intervention delivered by a computer aided learning package improved the sensitivity and specificity of dentists' restorative treatment decisions. METHOD: The study was a randomised controlled study using a Solomon three-group design. Ninety-five dentists were randomly allocated to the three study groups. One group of dentists read the radiographs pre and post an educational intervention, a second group read the radiographs once, after the intervention, and a third group read the radiographs twice, but received no intervention. On each occasion the dentists read 24 surfaces on each of 15 radiographs and made 360 decisions on how certain they were about restoring the tooth surface. Comparisons of mean sensitivity, specificity and areas under ROC curves were made within and between the study groups. Kappa values were used to assess changes in the level of agreement between dentists. RESULTS: There were no significant changes in sensitivity, specificity or area under ROC curves caused by the intervention. There was no evidence that the level of agreement between the dentists improved after the intervention. CONCLUSION: A computer aided learning package had no effect on dentists' treatment decision-making behaviour. (+info)Clinical performance of a compomer and amalgam for the interproximal restoration of primary molars: a 24-month evaluation. (3/108)
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical performance of a compomer material (Dyract) in comparison with dental amalgam (Contour) for management of proximal caries in primary molars in young children. SETTING: General dental practice, and a dental hospital paediatric clinic. METHOD: This was a prospective study. A split mouth design was used with identical pairs of minimal Class II cavities, of matched tooth type in the same dental arch, usually diagnosed with the use of bitewing radiographs. Seventy-eight pairs of restorations were completed of which 60 pairs were available for evaluation after 24 months. RESULTS: Comparable retention rates were observed for both Dyract and amalgam. The retention rates were high for both materials, with only four amalgam and two Dyract restorations failing over 24 months. Significantly better marginal integrity (P < 0.05) was observed for Dyract compared with amalgam with no significant differences between the two materials for recurrent caries, wear or surface texture. CONCLUSIONS: Dyract seemed to be a suitable alternative to amalgam for proximal restorations in primary molars of young children for use in general dental practice. (+info)The evolution of dental health in dental students at the University of Barcelona. (4/108)
The aim of this research was to study the evolution of dental health of dental students during their academic training and to assess the extent to which the knowledge acquired was reflected in their own dental care. A sample of 107 students at the schools of dentistry and medicine (the latter as a comparison group) of the University of Barcelona, Spain, underwent an oral examination and completed a questionnaire during their training in the third and fifth academic years. The oral examinations were limited to the status of teeth. Bitewing radiographs were used for both posterior sectors, and these were interpreted using the criteria proposed by Pitts (1984). The data were analyzed using the SPSS package. At the end of the study, medical students had more teeth present than dental students (29.80 vs. 28.94 [p = 0.022]) and a lower DMFT index of 4.33 vs. 5.91 (p=0.038), with an FT component of 2.44 and 5.23 (p = 0.011), respectively. All dental students underwent more treatment of all types than medical students, and dental health habits and knowledge were superior in dental students. The third year was the key year for decision making with regard to the student's dental health. We conclude that dental students are highly motivated about maintaining their dental health and their dental education experiences appear to have had a clear influence on this behavior. (+info)Comparative reproducibility of three methods of radiographic assessment of alveolar bone grafting. (5/108)
The aims of this study were to compare the reproducibility of three radiographic methods of assessing the quality of alveolar bone grafts, namely the Bergland, Kindelan and Chelsea Scales, and evaluate their application in the mixed and permanent dentitions. Additionally the use of occlusal versus periapical radiographs was assessed. Three examiners applied each scale on two occasions to the radiographs of 48 cleft lip and palate patients who had received alveolar bone grafts in 59 sites (11 had bilateral clefts). The agreement between repeated assessments by the same observer at different time points was measured by the kappa statistic, for each of the three assessors and each of the types of radiographic scale in turn. None of the three scales was found to be more reproducible than the others (kappa statistics for intraobserver variation ranged from 0.61 to 0.70). The agreement between observers was also similar across the three radiographic scales (multiple kappa statistics for inter-observer variation ranged from 0.45 to 0.51). Likewise, neither occlusal nor periapical radiographs were found to enable greater reproducibility of assessment. Surprisingly there was a tendency to greater reproducibility in the mixed than in the permanent dentition, which suggests the outcome of alveolar bone grafting may be assessed at an earlier stage than currently adopted. The outcome of alveolar bone grafting in this group of patients was generally successful. (+info)Effect of illumination on the accuracy of identifying interproximal carious lesions on bitewing radiographs. (6/108)
BACKGROUND: Dentists generally use a viewbox as the primary source of illumination when examining radiographs. Secondary sources of illumination (i.e., light other than that originating from the viewbox) can reduce radiographic contrast and may therefore affect diagnostic accuracy. OBJECTIVE: To determine if the accuracy of identifying interproximal carious lesions on bitewing radiographs depends on the level of secondary illumination. METHODS: Fourteen dentists examined bitewing radiographs of simulated interproximal lesions on dentition phantoms in conditions of maximal secondary illumination (the light condition) and minimal secondary illumination (the dark condition). RESULTS: There was no significant difference (p = 0.07) in the accuracy of identifying simulated interproximal carious lesions on bitewing radiographs in the light mean accuracy (72%+/-12%) and dark (75% +/- 12%) conditions. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Examining bitewing radiographs on a viewbox located in the operatory is adequate for accurately identifying interproximal carious lesions. (+info)Compound composite odontome associated with an unerupted deciduous incisor--a rarity. (7/108)
Odontomes are considered to be hamartomatous malformation rather than true neoplasm and are generally asymptomatic. Here is a case presentation of compound composite odontome with impacted deciduous teeth in an 11-year-old girl. A calcified mass was revealed in the radiograph and the case was finally diagnosed to be compound composite odontome. The mass was surgically excised. (+info)Erupted maxillary conical mesiodens in deciduous dentition in a Bengali girl--a case report. (8/108)
Mesiodens is a midline supernumerary tooth commonly seen in the maxillary arch. It is the most significant dental anomaly affecting permanent dentition mainly and primary dentition rarely. It may occur as an isolated dental anomalous condition or may be associated with a syndrome. Many theories have been promulgated to explain its etiology. But an exact etiology is still obscure. Incidence of mesiodens in children varies from 0.15 to 3.8%. Boys are affected more (2:1) than girls. Morphologically, mesiodens may be of three types: the most commonly seen is conical, while tuberculate and supplementary types. (+info)Bitewing radiography is a type of dental x-ray examination that involves taking multiple images of the teeth while they are bite together. These x-rays primarily provide a detailed view of the crowns of the upper and lower teeth in a single view, allowing dentists to diagnose and monitor interdental decay (decay between teeth), dental caries, and any bone loss around fillings or near the gum line. Bitewing radiographs are essential for detecting dental problems at an early stage, which can help prevent further damage and costly treatments in the future. They are typically taken annually or biennially during routine dental checkups.
Military dentistry is a specialized field of dental practice that focuses on providing oral health care to military personnel, veterans, and their families. It involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental diseases and disorders in a military setting, which can include battlefield conditions, remote locations, and military treatment facilities. Military dentists may also be involved in research, education, and policy development related to oral health in the military. They are responsible for ensuring that service members have access to quality dental care to maintain their overall health and readiness for duty.
Panoramic radiography is a specialized type of dental X-ray imaging that captures a panoramic view of the entire mouth, including the teeth, upper and lower jaws, and surrounding structures. It uses a special machine that rotates around the head, capturing images as it moves. This technique provides a two-dimensional image that is helpful in diagnosing and planning treatment for various dental conditions such as impacted teeth, bone abnormalities, and jaw disorders.
The panoramic radiograph can also be used to assess the development and positioning of wisdom teeth, detect cysts or tumors in the jaws, and evaluate the effects of trauma or injury to the mouth. It is a valuable tool for dental professionals as it allows them to see a comprehensive view of the oral structures, which may not be visible with traditional X-ray techniques.
It's important to note that while panoramic radiography provides valuable information, it should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools and clinical examinations to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Dental digital radiography is a type of medical imaging that uses digital sensors instead of traditional X-ray film to produce highly detailed images of the teeth, gums, and surrounding structures. This technology offers several advantages over conventional dental radiography, including:
1. Lower radiation exposure: Digital sensors require less radiation to produce an image compared to traditional film, making it a safer option for patients.
2. Instant results: The images captured by digital sensors are immediately displayed on a computer screen, allowing dentists to quickly assess the patient's oral health and discuss any findings with them during the appointment.
3. Improved image quality: Digital radiography produces clearer and more precise images compared to traditional film, enabling dentists to better detect issues such as cavities, fractures, or tumors.
4. Enhanced communication: The ability to easily manipulate and enhance digital images allows for better communication between dental professionals and improved patient education.
5. Environmentally friendly: Digital radiography eliminates the need for chemical processing and disposal of used film, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.
6. Easy storage and retrieval: Digital images can be stored electronically and accessed easily for future reference or consultation with other dental professionals.
7. Remote consultations: Digital images can be shared remotely with specialists or insurance companies, facilitating faster diagnoses and treatment planning.
Dental caries, also known as tooth decay or cavities, refers to the damage or breakdown of the hard tissues of the teeth (enamel, dentin, and cementum) due to the activity of acid-producing bacteria. These bacteria ferment sugars from food and drinks, producing acids that dissolve and weaken the tooth structure, leading to cavities.
The process of dental caries development involves several stages:
1. Demineralization: The acidic environment created by bacterial activity causes minerals (calcium and phosphate) to be lost from the tooth surface, making it weaker and more susceptible to decay.
2. Formation of a white spot lesion: As demineralization progresses, a chalky white area appears on the tooth surface, indicating early caries development.
3. Cavity formation: If left untreated, the demineralization process continues, leading to the breakdown and loss of tooth structure, resulting in a cavity or hole in the tooth.
4. Infection and pulp involvement: As the decay progresses deeper into the tooth, it can reach the dental pulp (the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels), causing infection, inflammation, and potentially leading to toothache, abscess, or even tooth loss.
Preventing dental caries involves maintaining good oral hygiene, reducing sugar intake, using fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash, and having regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Early detection and treatment of dental caries can help prevent further progression and more severe complications.
Transillumination is a medical procedure that involves the passage of bright light through a body structure, typically fluid-filled or hollow organs, to assess their size, location, or presence of abnormalities. This technique is often used to examine structures such as the breasts, lungs, or extremities in both adults and children. The transmission of light can help identify any irregularities like tumors, cysts, or other lesions based on the differences in light transmission through normal and abnormal tissues. It's a non-invasive, relatively simple, and quick method to gain preliminary information about certain medical conditions. However, transillumination is not commonly used as a primary diagnostic tool and often serves as an adjunct to other imaging techniques or clinical examinations.
Forensic dentistry, also known as forensic odontology, is a specialty in forensic science that involves the examination, identification, and evaluation of dental evidence for legal purposes. It encompasses various aspects such as:
1. Identification of deceased individuals through dental records comparison (e.g., during mass disasters or unidentified human remains).
2. Analysis of bite marks found on victims or objects related to criminal investigations.
3. Assessment of age, sex, ancestry, and other personal characteristics based on dental features.
4. Examination of cases of abuse, neglect, or malpractice in dentistry.
5. Evaluation of occupational dental injuries and diseases.
Forensic dentists often work closely with law enforcement agencies, medical examiners, and other legal professionals to provide expert testimony in court proceedings.
Radiography is a diagnostic technique that uses X-rays, gamma rays, or similar types of radiation to produce images of the internal structures of the body. It is a non-invasive procedure that can help healthcare professionals diagnose and monitor a wide range of medical conditions, including bone fractures, tumors, infections, and foreign objects lodged in the body.
During a radiography exam, a patient is positioned between an X-ray machine and a special film or digital detector. The machine emits a beam of radiation that passes through the body and strikes the film or detector, creating a shadow image of the internal structures. Denser tissues, such as bones, block more of the radiation and appear white on the image, while less dense tissues, such as muscles and organs, allow more of the radiation to pass through and appear darker.
Radiography is a valuable tool in modern medicine, but it does involve exposure to ionizing radiation, which can carry some risks. Healthcare professionals take steps to minimize these risks by using the lowest possible dose of radiation necessary to produce a diagnostic image, and by shielding sensitive areas of the body with lead aprons or other protective devices.
Thoracic radiography is a type of diagnostic imaging that involves using X-rays to produce images of the chest, including the lungs, heart, bronchi, great vessels, and the bones of the spine and chest wall. It is a commonly used tool in the diagnosis and management of various respiratory, cardiovascular, and thoracic disorders such as pneumonia, lung cancer, heart failure, and rib fractures.
During the procedure, the patient is positioned between an X-ray machine and a cassette containing a film or digital detector. The X-ray beam is directed at the chest, and the resulting image is captured on the film or detector. The images produced can help identify any abnormalities in the structure or function of the organs within the chest.
Thoracic radiography may be performed as a routine screening test for certain conditions, such as lung cancer, or it may be ordered when a patient presents with symptoms suggestive of a respiratory or cardiovascular disorder. It is a safe and non-invasive procedure that can provide valuable information to help guide clinical decision making and improve patient outcomes.
I'm not aware of a medical definition for "DMF Index." The abbreviation "DMF" could potentially stand for many things, as it is used in various contexts across different fields. In the field of dentistry, DMF stands for Decayed, Missing, and Filled teeth/surfaces, which is a method for measuring dental caries or tooth decay. However, there is no standard medical definition for "DMF Index." If you could provide more context or specify the field of study or practice, I would be happy to help further!
Radiographic image enhancement refers to the process of improving the quality and clarity of radiographic images, such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI images, through various digital techniques. These techniques may include adjusting contrast, brightness, and sharpness, as well as removing noise and artifacts that can interfere with image interpretation.
The goal of radiographic image enhancement is to provide medical professionals with clearer and more detailed images, which can help in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. This process may be performed using specialized software or hardware tools, and it requires a strong understanding of imaging techniques and the specific needs of medical professionals.

Radiographs are commonly1
- Routine bitewing radiographs are commonly used to examine for interdental caries and recurrent caries under existing restorations. (wikipedia.org)
Periapical radiographs2
- No distinction is made between bitewing and selected periapical radiographs. (flapsblog.net)
- Both bitewing and periapical radiographs utilize the same sensor, it is just positioned in a different way. (sodinidental.com)
Dental X Ra2
- Digital radiography (digital x-ray) is the latest technology used to take dental x-rays. (theisendental.com)
- Less radiation is needed to make an image with digital radiography than with standard dental X-rays. (alberta.ca)
Periodontal1
- The main indications for periapical radiography are Detect apical inflammation/ infection including cystic changes Assess periodontal problems Trauma-fractures to tooth and/or surrounding bone Pre/ post apical surgery/extraction. (wikipedia.org)
Proximal3
- The clinical study was designed to compare the detection of interproximal caries (dental cavities and decay on the proximal surface(s) of adjacent teeth) by dentists using near infra-red technology (NIRI) and bitewing radiography (a dental x-ray designed to show the crowns of the upper and lower posterior teeth simultaneously). (biospace.com)
- When compared against clinical evaluation of posterior proximal lesions observed during caries debridement, the NIRI technology of the iTero Element 5D imaging system was 66%** more sensitive than bitewing x-ray technology and demonstrated 96%** sensitivity for posterior interproximal lesions detections. (biospace.com)
- Is bitewing radiograph required to confirm clinic adaptation of proximal restorations with composite resin in posterior teeth? (bvsalud.org)
Computed Tomography1
- PDF-1.7 %���� The Dental Radiography Standards & Guidelines were approved and published in September 2015, and articulate CDSBC's expectations for registrants regarding dental radiation (including the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dentistry). (trnds.co)
Caries2
- In addition, the study compared NIRI and bitewing radiography to visual caries debridement (clinical removal of tooth decay). (biospace.com)
- 2) apply the knowledge learned to concrete or particular situations in a clinical Each identified guideline document which met the inclusion criteria was reviewed and the recommendations for timing and frequency of bitewing radiography, along with the related patient clinical characteristics (for example, age, dental development, caries risk), were recorded. (trnds.co)
Routine2
- Participants included 37 patients aged 21-66 years with prior nonstandardized bitewing radiographs scheduled to receive bitewing radiographs as part of their next routine dental care visit. (nih.gov)
- In regard to the need for a preoperative radiograph he cites guidance from the Faculty of General Dental Practice (FGDP) UK stating that there is no conclusive evidence to support the need for routine radiography prior to extraction in adults - thus there would have been no indication for onward referral to an oral surgeon. (mddus.com)
Tooth2
- Bitewing X-rays are used during checkups to look for tooth decay. (alberta.ca)
- A bitewing radiograph indicates a deeply carious tooth. (mddus.com)
Diagnostic2
- diagnostic capability in all radiography. (trnds.co)
- 22] Head CT exposures contribute 4.3% of the collective effective dose from all diagnostic sources, 15 times more than from dental radiography. (flapsblog.net)
Crowns1
- Bitewing radiographs record, on a single image, the crowns and … Regular auditing of your radiographs provides you with vital feedback to help you how you may improve your internal processes and reduce unnecessary exposure to radiation. (trnds.co)
Exposures2
- The goal of Image Gently is to promote special considerations for pediatric dental radiography and eliminate unnecessary exposures in children. (dimensionsofdentalhygiene.com)
- A full-mouth examination (typically consisting of 12 periapical and 4 bitewing exposures) results in a brain dose of approximately 0.24 mGy. (flapsblog.net)
Typically1
- Brain exposure from head CT examinations is typically in the range of 43-75 mGy, far more than from dental radiography. (flapsblog.net)
Radiation exposure1
- Never the less, special precautions are taken with any radiography - like wearing a lead vest with a thyroid collar to protect against low levels of radiation exposure. (sodinidental.com)
Examination1
- Further, there are no research reports that support the premise that doses as low as those received by the brain from dental radiography, including from a full-mouth examination, are sufficient to cause meningiomas. (flapsblog.net)
Dentist1
- In a bitewing x-ray, your dentist will ask you to bite down on a piece of paper and will align the x-ray machine with one side of your jaw and mouth. (123dentist.com)
Lesions1
- NIRI was found to be more sensitive than bitewing radiography in detecting early enamel lesions and comparable in detecting dentinal lesions. (biospace.com)
Type1
- Bitewing x-rays are the most common type of x-ray used in dental offices. (123dentist.com)
Results1
- The amount of radiation received from dental radiography is so low that it is highly unlikely that it results in a measurable risk. (flapsblog.net)
Review1
- Our review is a great way for dental assistants to prepare for the DANB radiography exam and to move their careers forward becoming a Licensed Dental Assistant (CDA). (nedentalassistants.com)
