Diş hekimliği araştırmalarında mikrobilgisayarlı tomografi uygulamaları

Günümüzde dijital tekniklerin gelişmesiyle diş hekimliği araştırmalarında mikrobilgisayarlı tomografi kullanımı yaygınlık kazanmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı diş hekimliğinde ve özellikle endodonti alanında deneysel çalışmalarda kullanılan mikrobilgisayarlı tomografi konusunda bilgi vermektir. Derlemede diş hekimliğinde mikrotomografinin esas kullanım alanları olan kök kanal morfolojisinin analizi, kök kanal şekillendirmesinin değerlendirilmesi, kök kanal dolgusunun değerlendirilmesi, tekrarlayan tedavi işlemlerinden sonra kök kanalında kalan dolgu materyalinin incelenmesi, kafa-yüz iskeletinin gelişiminin incelenmesi, implant ve kök çevresi kemiğinin değerlendirilmesi, mine kalınlığının ölçülmesi ve dişlerin mineral konsantrasyonunun belirlenmesi hakkında detaylı bilgi verilmiştir. Bunlara ek olarak bu sistemin kullanımının faydaları da tartışılmıştır.

Microcomputerized tomography applications in dental research

The application of microcomputed tomography in dental research recently gains popularity with the advancements in digital technologies. The aim of this review was to give information about the micro-computed tomography use in experimental studies in dentistry, especially in endodontics. In this review, detailed information was given on the main applications of microcomputed tomography in dental research, including evaluation of root canal morphology, root canal preparation, root canal fillings, residual root filling analysis following retreatment procedures, craniofacial skeletal development, implant and peri-implant bone structure, measurement of enamel thickness and dental mineral concentrations. The advantages of micro-computed tomography were also discussed.
