Resumo
As fraturas e reabsorções radiculares dentárias são ocorrências de diagnóstico por vezes complicado, exigindo do Cirurgião-Dentista a realização de exames complementares mais específicos, como a tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico. Devido à existência de uma gama variável de aparelhos disponíveis no mercado, realizou-se um estudo no qual foi avaliada a capacidade de diagnóstico de cinco modelos (EAGLE 3D® - Dabi Atlante; SCANORA 3D® - Soredex; Orthophos XG 3D® - Sirona Dental; PREXION 3D® - Prexion Dental Inc. e I-CAT® - Imaging Sciences – Kavo) na identificação de fraturas e reabsorções radiculares. Para tanto, foram reproduzidas fraturas e reabsorções radiculares em 60 dentes humanos, obtidos por meio do banco de dentes, que posteriormente foram montados em 12 mandíbulas artificiais e submetidos à aquisição de imagens pelos equipamentos de tomografias computadorizadas de feixe cônico. As imagens DICOM dos exames foram exportadas dos softwares originais dos equipamentos e importadas para dentro do software OnDemand® (Cybermed Inc. USA), onde foram analisadas por 2 radiologistas com experiência na interpretação desse tipo de exame. Foi permitido aos examinadores observarem as imagens nos planos axial, coronal e sagital na busca das fraturas e reabsorções radiculares. Após avaliação das imagens, os resultados obtidos foram agrupados e submetidos à análise estatística para sua validação, utilizando o software GraphPadPrism 6® (San Diego, CA, USA). Os resultados mostraram haver alto índice de acertos nas avaliações de ambos os examinadores, além de não haver diferenças na capacidade de diagnóstico de fraturas e reabsorções pelos equipamentos testados. Dessa forma, foi possível concluir que todos os aparelhos de tomografia testados neste estudo apresentaram resultados semelhantes na capacidade de diagnosticar fraturas e reabsorções radiculares.
Dental root fractures and resorptions are complicated diagnostic events sometimes, requiring the Dentist to perform more specific complementary exams such as cone beam computed tomography. Due to the existence of a variable range of devices available on the market, a study was carried out analysing the diagnostic capacity of five models (EAGLE 3D® - Dabi Atlante; SCANORA 3D® - Soredex; Orthophos XG 3D® - Sirona Dental; PREXION 3D® - Prexion Dental Inc. and I-CAT® - Imaging Sciences – Kavo) to identify fractures and root resorptions. For this purpose, fractures and root resorption were reproduced in 60 human teeth, obtained through the human tooth bank, which were assembled later in 12 artificial mandibles and submitted to image acquisition by a cone beam computed tomography equipment. The DICOM images of the exams were exported from the original equipment software and imported into OnDemand® software (Cybermed Inc. USA), where they were analyzed by two radiologists with experience in the interpretation of these scans. The examiners were allowed to observe the images in the axial, coronal and sagittal planes in the search for fractures and root resorptions. After evaluation of the images, the results were grouped and submitted to statistical analysis for validation using GraphPadPrism 6® software (San Diego, CA, USA). The results showed that there was a high index of correct answers in the evaluations of both examiners, and also that there were no differences in the diagnostic capacity of fractures and resorptions for the equipments tested. Thus, it was possible to conclude that all tomography devices tested in this study showed similar results in the ability to diagnose fractures and root resorptions.
