Correlação entre a radiografia panorâmica e a tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico: relevância dos exames para instalação de implantes dentários em região posterior de maxila

Abstract

This study aims to establish a correlation of linear measurements between panoramic radiography and the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to plan the placement of dental implants in posterior maxilla to evaluate their involvement with the maxillary sinus. Were selected 1 49 tomography patients who realized panoramic radiography at the same period in a private odontologic radiology clinic. The panoramic radiography and the computed tomography were measurements by three evaluators through a software. Were noted differences statistically significant at the results obtained between panoramic radiography and CBCT, which justifies the tomography like golden standard.
