3 Dimensional

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a valuable imaging technique in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) that can help direct a surgeon’s approach to a variety of conditions. A 3-dimensional analysis of head and neck anatomy allows practitioners to plan appropriately, operate with confidence, and assess results post-operatively. CBCT imaging has clear indications and limitations. CBCT offers the clinician 3-dimensional and multi-planar views for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment without the financial burden and radiation exposure of conventional computed tomography (CT) scans. Furthermore, CBCT overcomes certain limitations of 2-dimensional imaging, such as distortion, magnification, and superimposition. However, CBCT lacks the detailed depiction of soft tissue conditions for evaluation of pathologic conditions, head and neck infections, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc evaluation. This review evaluates the evidence-based research supporting the application of CBCT in the various fields of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including dentoalveolar surgery, dental implants, TMJ, orthognathic surgery, trauma, and pathology, and will assess the value of CBCT in pre-operative assessment, surgical planning, and post-operative analysis when applicable. Additionally, the significant limitations of CBCT and potential areas for future research will be discussed.

Introduction: Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) has been a controversial topic in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery speciality especially regarding temporomandibular joint disorders and internal derangement of articular disc. The aetiology behind it has been related to the anatomic variations of the disc and its impact on the functioning of the articular disc. To understand such anatomic variation, the study has been conducted that will help future maxillofacial surgeon’s in designing accurate prosthetic articular disc that will improve the overall mechanics of the functioning of the prosthetic disc. Aim: To analyse the morphometric variations of the intra-articular disc in terms of circumference of the disc, perforations and their thickness within the disc in cadavers. Materials and Methods: The present observational study was carried out on cadavers in the Department of Anatomy. SBKS Medical College and Research Centre, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth University, Gujarat, India. The study was done from January 2017 to October 2018. Temporomandibular joints were dissected bilaterally from 10 human cadavers, i.e., 20 articular discs. The disc was removed and was measured with the help of thread, vernier callipers and standardised metallic scale and the circumference and thickness in the disc were evaluated. Descriptive statistical test was used and Chi-square test was applied. Results: Mean thickness of disc, both in males as well as females ranged from 1.4-2.0 mm in the Posterio-Medial (PM) and Posterio- Lateral (PL) region, while in Anterio-Medial (AM) and Anterio- Lateral (AL) region it ranged from 1.6-1.8 mm. Maximum length of disc ranged from 12-13 mm in anterio-posterio dimension while in Medio-Lateral (ML) it was 22-23 mm. Conclusion: The study gives an indepth knowledge about the various morphometric variations of articular disc and also shows its impact on the functioning of the disc. The study also directs maxillofacial surgeons to design prosthetic articular disc with greater accuracy and anatomical knowledge so that the procedures like surgical replacement of the disc can be carried out with greater potency and efficacy for the betterment of the patient.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is prone to a number of disease states involving any one of its anatomical components. The current favoured term for problems associated with the TMJ is ‘temporomandibular disorder’ (TMD). TMD is one of the most common orofacial pain conditions. Patients will present to GPs and general dental practitioners as well as directly to accident and emergency, typically for referral to Oral and maxillofacial surgery, due to either significant acute pain or chronic pain that can no longer be tolerated. Common features of TMD include pain in the face and preauricular area, restricted jaw movement, and noise from the TMJs during jaw movements. TMD can coincide with poor general health, psychological co-morbidities such as depression and often affects quality of life.

OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the prevalence and severity of TMDs in house officers and postgraduate students belonging to public and private sector medical and dental colleges.METHODOLOGY:This was a cross sectional study carried out from July 2018 to September 2018 in Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Sardar Begum Dental College and Hospital, Peshawar. After approval from ethical committee Gandhara University, an informed consent was obtained and Fonseca questionnaire was used to evaluate TMDs from 320 subjects who voluntarily want to participate in the study; selected with equal genders from public and private sectors medical and dental hospitals, Peshawar. Those who have musculoskeletal, neurological, systemic problems and orthodontics treatment subjects were excluded from the study.RESULTS:The age range selected was 22-32 years and the mean age presentation was 26.5 ± 3.4 years. Results showed that female postgraduate residents of private sector consider themselves tenser (18.8%) than others. 70.17% female house officers of private sector have noticed TMJ clicking and 83.17% of male house officers clenched or grind their teeth than others.CONCLUSION:The study concluded that mild and moderate TMDs are more common in-house officers and postgraduate residents.KEYWORDS: Temporomandibular Disorders, Prevalence, Temporomandibular Joint, Fonseca’s Anamnestic Index, Cross-Sectional Study
