O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar uma metodologia de ensino de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) aplicada a estudantes de graduação, avaliando o conhecimento de estruturas anatômicas do complexo dentomaxilofacial. Os estudantes foram orientados quanto às estruturas anatômicas e às aplicações clínicas da TCFC em aulas teóricas e práticas, compreendendo 45 horas de aula. Foram submetidos a duas avaliações, a primeira na metade do semestre, e a segunda no término do semestre. Os escores das avaliações (três variáveis: 1) nome, 2) lado - esquerdo/direito e 3) reconstruções multiplanares (RMP) - imagens ortogonais de identificação) foram comparados para verificar se houve melhora na aprendizagem. Testes de medianas e Wilcoxon compararam os exames intermediário e final. Os valores medianos para a variável 1 foram 6,0 (intermediário) e 8,0 (final). Em relação à variável 2, a mediana variou de 9,0 (intermediário) a 10,0 (final). Quando os resultados da variável 3 foram analisados, ambas as medianas foram 10,0. Houve diferença significativa (teste de Wilcoxon, p<0,05) quando foram comparados os exames intermediário e final, nas três categorias. Correlações lineares foram estabelecidas entre as três categorias e foram estatisticamente significantes para duas associações (“nome da estrutura anatômica” com “lado da estrutura anatômica” e “nome da estrutura anatômica” com “imagens da MPR”). Os estudantes de graduação apresentaram uma melhora em termos do reconhecimento correto das estruturas anatômicas, nome e lado, bem como imagens de MPR quando comparadas as duas avaliações.

Background: The ostiomeatal complex (OMC) is not a separate anatomical structure although it is a functional unit of structures, including the middle meatus, uncinate process, infundibulum, maxillary sinus ostium, ethmoidal bulla, anterior ethmoid sinus ostium, and frontal recess. Concha bullosa is the pneumatization of the concha, which is one of the most common anatomical variations in the middle turbinate. Methods: This study was conducted using the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 172 patients in the archives of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Dentistry School, Ahvaz Jundishapur. Patient information including age and gender, presence or absence of concha bullosa, the involved side (left or right), and its type (i.e., extensive, lamellar, and bulbous) were collected in the information form. Finally, the chi-square test (with SPSS, version 22) was used to analyze the data, and P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Patients with and without concha bullosa were 39.1 and 41.7 years, respectively, but it was no significant difference in terms of age (P = 0.321). Out of 52 patients with concha bullosa, 19 (36.5%) cases were males and 33 (63.5%) of them were females. The prevalence of concha bullosa was higher for the bilateral side (20 patients, 38.5%, P = 0.000). The prevalence of bulbulsand lamellar-shape was nearly the same (32.7% and 30.8%, respectively). Eventually, the extensive shape with 36.5% was more frequent for the shape of concha bullosa (P = 0.000). Conclusions: The prevalence of concha bullosa was high. There was no significant difference in terms of age (P = 0.321) and gender (P = 0.058) of patients with concha bullosa. The extensive type and the bilateral appearance of concha bullosa were more significant (P = 0.000).
