To determine the prevalence, radiographic appearance, variations, characteristics and establishing dominant location and type of zygomatic air cell defect (ZACD) among the North Indian population.
The panoramic radiographs of 2500 dental clinic outpatients were examined for the presence of ZACD for estimating the prevalence and characteristics of the ZACD.
ZACD was found in 63 patients with a prevalence of 2.5% with male predominance. Unilateral (70%) and unilocular appearance (78%) of ZACD were the dominant patterns. Patients with ZACD had a mean age of 37.4 years and a range of 19-78 years.
The prevalence of ZACD among the Indian population is in accordance with the other studies carried out in other populations of the world. So it is important for surgeons to assess location of ZACD before planning any surgical procedure in order to avoid intraoperative complications.
确定北印度人群中颧骨气房缺损(ZACD)的患病率、影像学表现、变异情况、特征,并确定其主要位置和类型。
检查2500名牙科门诊患者的全景X线片,以评估ZACD的患病率和特征。
63例患者发现有ZACD,患病率为2.5%,男性居多。ZACD的单侧(70%)和单房表现(78%)为主要模式。ZACD患者的平均年龄为37.4岁,年龄范围为19 - 78岁。
印度人群中ZACD的患病率与世界其他人群的其他研究结果一致。因此,外科医生在计划任何手术之前评估ZACD的位置很重要,以避免术中并发症。
