How often do you find a #StafneDefect while looking at scans? You can see it as a bone depression on the lingual cortex of the posterior mandible. #cbctwithlea #findingoftheday #diagnosebeforeyoutreat #cbct #coronalview #3dview #incidentalfinding

Do you see double contour in some of your CBCT scans? General loss of sharpness? Motion artifact can limit the diagnostic value of a scan and if severe, cause us to rescan the patient. This can be caused by minor movement like swallowing, tremble, tilting, nodding. Consider sitting your patients down to limit rapid movement. ...

Does treatment always have to involve surgical intervention? This is a case of a traumatic bone cyst in a 15 YO patient that was first detected and then monitored radiographically and spontaneously healed on its own. Note that healing bone can appear granular on #cbct. #diagnosis #cbct #cbctwithlea #3dimaging #diagnosebeforeyoutreat #traumaticbonecyst #oralradiology #axialview #coronalview #radiology #stopandthink #planahead #dentalgram #dentistry #teeth #oralpathologylovers #conebeam

Consider this lesion in your differential diagnosis when you visualize a well-defined, low-density area in the buccal bifurcation of a . Notice how the apices are displaced lingually and the occlusal surface is tipped to the buccal. #diagnosis #cbct #cbctwithlea #buccalbifurcationcyst #diagnosebeforeyoutreat #oralradiology #axialview #coronalview #oralradiology #radiology #planahead #dentalgram #dentistry #teeth #oralpathologylovers #conebeam

Are you properly evaluating your #CBCT scans? Some of the factors that we should take into consideration are: - Direction of impaction - Location in bucco-palatal direction - Follicular sac space... - Presence of enamel resorptive defects - Root resorption and/or displacement of adjacent teeth #diagnosis #cbct #cbctwithlea #oralradiology #axialview #coronalview #oralradiology #radiology #planahead #dentalgram #dentistry #teeth #oralpathologylovers #impactedcanine

Simply detecting the presence of an impacted canine is a minor advantage to implementing three-dimensional imaging: assessing HOW that structure acts in its surrounding is a key feature that can impact your clinical decision. #diagnosebeforeyoutreat #diagnosis #cbct #cbctwithlea #oralradiology #axialview #coronalview #radiology #planahead #dentistry #teeth #oralpathologylovers #impactedcanine #impactedtooth

This is a focused field of view CBCT scan on CS8100 of a 10 YO patient with painless, hard, non-mobile mass in left posterior mandible. What information did a 3D view add in this case? Evaluating the behavior of a lesion relative to surrounding structures and teeth is integral to narrowing down your differential diagnosis. Some of the questions that can guide you to a differential:... Are the borders well-defined? Is the lesion expansile? Is the expansion uniform? Is the cortex interrupted? Is there root resorption?

Concha Bullosa is a common anatomical variation that can be detected on CBCT. This is a case showing a concha bullosa, a pneumatized cavity, within the right middle concha. It can occur unilaterally or bilaterally. When present, always check it is not affecting the patency of ostiomeatal complex!

Coronal and Sagittal views of a focused CBCT scan showing Dens Invaginatus aka #densindente aka #toothwithinatooth. This morphological variation mostly occurs in maxillary lateral incisors.

Do you look for #symmetry on CBCT scans? ASYMMETRY: A key feature to watch out for whether you’re new to using #CBCT scans or have been implementing them in your diagnostic process for a while. This is an axial snapshot of a focused FOV CBCT scan taken on the CS 8100 3D. Making sure anatomical landmarks are symmetrical in dimensions, shape and density is the first step to eliminating the presence of an abnormality.
