Avaliação da maxila edêntula e mandíbula parcialmente edêntula por meio da tomografia computadorizada

Abstract

In this study, we measured through the analysis of CT scans bone height of edentulous areas of the maxilla and mandible of patients with features suggestive to develop Combination Syndrome. This syndrome affects patients at any age users of complete denture and partially mandibular anterior teeth. These patients may develop typical signs of the syndrome as increasing the maxillary tuberosities, severe resorption of the anterior maxilla and extrusion of the lower anterior teeth. It was analized 34 CT scans of males and females an average age of 61 years. The reference bone points assessed were the right and left canine pillars, the incisive foramen, right and left tuber, and the midpoint of the mandible. There was no statistically significant difference between males and females and in the comparison of age groups under 60 years and the group over 60 years regarding the anatomical points evaluated.
