Avaliação do diagnóstico de lesões de furca em molares – estudo in vivo

Abstract

In dentistry periodontal disease, for long, has been neglected, since its correct diagnosis as to its proper treatment plan and its supportive therapy, the aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic techniques in furcation lesions in molars, comparing them with each other, the clinical examination, the interproximal digital radiography and computed tomography type Cone Bean (CB), and indicating a more precise technique for diagnosis. In the initial clinical examination was performed the periodontal mapping of the teeth of the upper and lower jaw, to obtain baseline, this examination was carried out by a trained and experienced only professional in periodontics area, achieving a rating to the work of transversal clinical study, blind , split-mounth, which were measured probing depths of the regions furcation through a periodontal probe Nabers type (Hu-Friedy, USA). After initial clinical evaluation of patients, the radiographic examination was performed for the diagnosis of possible changes periodontal furcation. At the time of data collection to form the baseline for its completion was held a digital interproximal radiographic examination in each region surveyed teeth. In a second phase, the patients underwent a CT scan, in which we used a brand tomograph Dental X - Ray CT Scanner PreXion 3D CBCT (PreXion®, Inc., USA), the type cone beam (cone beam). Given our results we can say that the CB is the technical excellence, conclusive and should therefore be indicated for the diagnosis of furcation lesions in molars.
