Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the potency of panoramic radiography for the detection of maxillary impacted canines. Methods: Twenty-five patients were selected, comprised of 7 males (mean age: 10.9 years, range: 8.5 - 14.5 years) and 18 females (mean age: 10.9 years, range: 8.2 - 15.7 years). In total, thirty-five maxillary impacted canines were estimated. The position of the canine and root resorption of adjacent teeth were evaluated on panoramic radiography and 3D CT. Results: Except for angulation to the occlusal plane, the other parameters, such as tooth length, crown width, vertical distance and lateral shift showed larger values on panoramic radiography compared to 3D CT. In palatally impacted cases, the angulation of canine was smaller, and the vertical distance to the occlusal place was larger on panoramic radiography than 3D CT. For labially impacted canines, tooth length, crown width, and angulation to the occlusal plane were similar for the two methods. The sensitivity for detecting root resorption on panoramic radiography was calculated as being 33.3% of 3D CT. Conclusions: The position of labially impacted canines can be effectively estimated using panoramic radiography, but palatally impacted canines need further investigation such as 3D CT for proper diagnosis.

3D CT를 이용하여 파노라마에서 얻어진 상악 매복 견치 위치 정보의 유용성을 평가하기 위해, 상악 견치 매복을 주소로 경북대학교병원에 내원한 환자를 대상으로 파노라마 방사선 사진과 3D CT에서의 매복 견치의 위치를 평가하였다. 대상은 25명(남자 7명, 여자 18명)으로 평균 나이는 10.9세(범위 : 8.2 - 15.7세)이며, 35개의 상악 매복 견치증례를 분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 파노라마 방사선 사진은 확대되어 촬영되므로 3D CT의 계측치보다 상악 견치의 tooth length, crown width, vertical distance 그리고 lateral shift값에서 큰 값을 가졌다. 단, angulation to occlusal plane은 파노라마에서 더 작은 값으로 계측되었다. 둘째, 파노라마 방사선 사진상 상악 견치가 구개측으로 매복된 경우, angulation to occlusal plane은 3D CT보다 작게 측정되고 vertical distance는 더 크게 측정되었다. 셋째, 파노라마 방사선 사진에서 상악 매복 견치의 tooth length, crown width 그리고 순측으로 매복된 경우 상악 견치의 angulation to occlusal plane은 3D CT와 근접된 계측치를 가졌다. 또한 CT와 비교하였을 때, 치근 흡수 정도 평가에 대한 파노라마 방사선 사진의 감수성은 33.3%인 것으로 측정되었다. 파노라마 방사선 사진은 협측 매복견치의 위치는 실제와 유사하다고 생각되나 구개측 매복의 경우 3D CT보다 더 높게, 각도는 더 작게 나타나는 등 상당한 차이가 있어 CT를 이용한 추가적인 검사가 필요하다고 생각된다.
