Abstract

Ultrasonography (US) is a noninvasive, nonionizing, inexpensive, and painless imaging tool proven to be a valuable diagnostic tool in soft tissue assessment that also shows promise for hard tissue evaluation in dentistry. US has been investigated for its capability to identify carious lesions, tooth fractures or cracks, periodontal bony defects, maxillofacial fractures, and more. It has been used as a diagnostic aid in temporomandibular disorders, implant dentistry, and to measure muscle and soft tissue thickness. Unfortunately, the use of US in dentistry is still in its infancy; however, relevant research is promising.

摘要

超声检查（US）是一种无创、无电离辐射、价格低廉且无痛的成像工具，已被证明是软组织评估中有价值的诊断工具，在牙科硬组织评估方面也显示出前景。超声检查已被研究用于识别龋损、牙齿骨折或裂纹、牙周骨缺损、颌面骨折等。它还被用作颞下颌关节紊乱病、种植牙科的诊断辅助手段，以及测量肌肉和软组织厚度。不幸的是，超声检查在牙科的应用仍处于起步阶段；然而，相关研究很有前景。
