نوع مقاله : مقاله‌های پژوهشی

چکیده

مقدمه: کانال فک پایین یک ساختار آناتومیک قابل توجه در حیطه‌ی دندان‌پزشکی ایمپلنت است و توموگرافی کامپیوتری با پرتو مخروطی CBCT (Cone beam computed tomography) یک روش تشخیصی مهم در دندان‌پزشکی است. هدف از این تحقیق ارزیابی فراوانی تنوعات آناتومیکی کانال مندیبولار مشاهده شده در تصاویر CBCT بود.
مواد و روش‌ها: این مطالعه‌ی توصیفی- تحلیلی شامل ارزیابی 384 کانال آلوئلار تحتانی در 192 بیمار بود که برای گرفتن سی‌تی‌اسکن با اشعه‌ی مخروطی به بخش رادیولوژی دانشگاه آزاد اصفهان واحد اصفهان (خوراسگان) در سال 1396 ارجاع داده شده بودند. رادیوگرافی‌ها برای ارزیابی فراوانی تنوعات مختلف کانال مندیبولار چپ و راست به تفکیک جنسیت از نظر موقعیت فوقانی- تحتانی، موقعیت باکولینگوالی و شکل مسیر کلی کانال بررسی گردید. فراوانی و تیپ‌های مختلف کانال‌های دو شاخه‌ی مندیبل موجود نیز بررسی شد. داده‌ها توسط آزمون‌های آماری Chi Square،independent T Test ،paired T- test  تحلیل شدند (0/05 >p value ).
یافته‌ها: کانال مندیبل به صورت 2/1 درصد موقعیت پایینی، 11/9 درصد موقعیت بالایی و 86 درصد موقعیت حد واسط بود. بین موقعیت کانال مندیبل با جنسیت رابطه‌ی معنی‌داری وجود داشت (0/004 p value =). شیوع کانال دو شاخه 14/8 درصد گزارش گردید. بین شکل مسیر کلی کانال با جنسیت رابطه‌ی معنی‌داری وجود نداشت. بین میانگین فاصله‌ی کانال مندیبولار تا کورتکس باکال در دو ناحیه‌ی مولر و راموس با جنسیت افراد و سمت کانال مورد بررسی تفاوت معنی‌داری وجود نداشت (0/05 <p value ).
نتیجه‌گیری: بیشترین فراوانی کانال مندیبل در غالب افراد مورد بررسی، در سمت راست در موقعیت حد واسط بود. میانگین فاصله‌ی کانال مندیبولار تا کورتکس باکالی در ناحیه‌ی راموس و مولری در دو سمت راست و چپ دو سمت بین آقایان و خانم‌ها تفاوت معنی‌داری نداشت.

Evaluation of Anatomical Variations of Mandibular Canal through Cone Beam Computed Tomography

چکیده [English]

Introduction: The inferior alveolar canal is an important anatomical structure in the field of dentistry implants and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an important diagnostic technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of anatomical variations of the mandibular canal observed in CBCT images.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive-analytic study 384 inferior alveolar canals were evaluated in 192 patients who were referred to the radiology department of Isfahan Azad University in 1396 for a cone- beam computed tomography. Radiographs were performed to assess the frequency of different left and right mandibular canal segregations by sex in terms of upper and lower position, baccolingual position, shape of the general canal. The frequency and different types of existing mandibular plug canals were also evaluated. Data were analyzed by Chi Square, independent T-test, Paired t- test (p value < 0.05).
Results: The mandibular canal was 2.1% of the lower position, 11.9% of the upper position and 86% of the middle position. Statistically significant differences were observed between the frequency distributions of canal positions and gender(p value = 0.004). The prevalence of Bifid mandibular canals was 14.8%. There was no significant relationship between the shape of the general channel path and gender. There was no significant difference between the mean distance between the mandibular canal and the buccal cortex in both Molar and Ramus with the sex of the subjects and the side of the canal (p value < 0.05).
Discussion: The highest frequency of mandibular canal in most subjects was on the right in the intermediate position. The mean distance between mandibular canal and buccal cortex in Ramos and Molars area on both right and left sides was not significantly different between men and women.
