To evaluate the frequency of deep lingual concavities in the lower jaw, which can cause surgical complications while inserting dental implants.
Cross-sections of the mandible alveolar ridge at the edentulous sockets were obtained via cone-beam computed tomography. Measurements were carried out using the freeware 'IC Measure' and based on the basic definitions of a previous study.
Most (767/826 = 93%) sockets had concavities of various degrees (30-90°), while 59 (7%) sockets had no concavity. However, the majority of the concavities (71%) were mild, with angles > 60°. The other 220 (26%) sockets had deeper concavities of <60°; among these, 12 (1%) had extremely deep concavities of <40°.
Only a few cases have deep lingual concavities that pose a high risk for lingual plate perforation during dental implantation.
评估下颌骨中深层舌侧凹陷的频率,这些凹陷在植入牙种植体时可能导致手术并发症。
通过锥形束计算机断层扫描获得无牙牙槽嵴的下颌骨横断面。使用免费软件“IC Measure”进行测量,并基于先前研究的基本定义进行测量。
大多数(767/826=93%)牙槽窝有不同程度的凹陷(30-90°),而 59 个(7%)牙槽窝没有凹陷。然而,大多数凹陷(71%)为轻度,角度>60°。另外 220 个(26%)牙槽窝有较深的凹陷<60°;其中,12 个(1%)有非常深的凹陷<40°。
只有少数情况下存在深层舌侧凹陷,这些凹陷在牙种植时可能导致舌板穿孔的风险较高。
