Publication Open Access A retrospective study: Do all impacted teeth cause pathology?(2019-04-01T00:00:00Z) Sarica, İRFAN; Derindag, G; Kurtuldu, E; Naralan, ME; Caglayan, F; SARICA, İRFANObjective: The objective of this study is to determine the incidence of impacted teeth and the frequency of pathologies they caused by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) retrospectively. Materials and Methods: In this study, 608 patients’ CBCT images were analyzed retrospectively. Detected impacted teeth were classified as incisor, canine, premolar, molar, third molar, and supernumerary teeth. The pathologies caused by impacted teeth are classified as cysts or tumors, tooth decay, root resorptions, and periodontal bone loss. Results: Impacted teeth were detected in 34.37% of the 608 CBCT images included in the study. The distribution of impacted teeth was 9.4% incisor, 29.4% canine, 9.9% premolar, 2.9% molar, 9.3% supernumerary, and 39.9% third molar teeth. Approximately 63.7% of the impacted teeth caused a pathology. The pathology that was most commonly caused by impacted teeth was periodontal bone loss (44.4%), and respectively others were root resorptions (33.3%), cysts or tumors (8.6%), and tooth decay (2.3%). The most common cause of this pathology was right mandibular third molar teeth. Conclusion: Impacted teeth were common and they often caused a pathology. CBCT is a useful device to assess the impacted teeth. When the impacted teeth are evaluated, each tooth should be assessed within itself. If the impacted teeth are not caused by pathology, they can be kept under control.Publication Metadata only Fractal Analysis of Temporomandibular Joint Trabecular Bone Structure in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis on Cone Beam Computed Tomography Images(2018-12-01T00:00:00Z) Yesiltepe, Selin; YILMAZ, Ahmet Berhan; Kurtuldu, Elif; SARICA, İRFAN; SARICA, İRFANObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the fractal dimension (FD) analysis in the temporomandibular joint for changes in trabecular bone structure on came beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Publication Metadata only Examination of oral hemangiomas by intraoral ultrasonography(2021-03-01T00:00:00Z) Derindag, Gozde; SARICA, İRFAN; ÇAĞLAYAN, Fatma; SARICA, İRFANObjectives Oral hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor characterized by the presence of numerous blood vessels. We aimed to examine the clinical and ultrasonographic findings of patients diagnosed with oral hemangioma in our ultrasonography (USG) archive, retrospectively. Methods This study was conducted by examining 20 patients diagnosed with oral hemangioma and underwent USG examination in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology of Ataturk University Faculty of Dentistry from 2016 to 2020. All patients had intraoral and radiographic examinations. Patients pre-diagnosed clinically oral hemangioma were evaluated as intraoral with USG. The intraoral USG examinations were performed using both the B-mode and the color Doppler mode. Results The mean age of the patients was 42.4 +/- 19.14 years; 16 patients were female and four were male. The lesions were mostly observed on the alveolar mucosa (30%), followed by the buccal mucosa (25%), the lower lip (15%), the mouth floor (15%), the tongue (15%). In intraoral USG examinations of all oral hemangiomas, we detected submucosal located, well-defined, lobulated, non-capsule, hypo-isoechoic, heterogeneous lesion areas. Additionally, while we detected only peripheral blood flow in 6 (30%) of 20 patients, we detected both internal and peripheral blood flow in 14 (70%). Conclusions In our study, the examination of the oral hemangiomas with the intraoral probe and the color Doppler mode was very helpful in the differential diagnosis. Although histopathology has an important place in definitive diagnosis, particularly intraoral USG can provide sufficient information for the diagnosis of oral hemangiomas.
