Abstract
Sinus floor elevation (SFE) is a standard surgical technique used to compensate for alveolar bone resorption in the posterior maxilla. Such a surgical procedure requires radiographic imaging pre- and postoperatively for diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome assessment. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become a well-established imaging modality in the dentomaxillofacial region. The following narrative review is aimed to provide clinicians with an overview of the role of three-dimensional (3D) CBCT imaging for diagnostics, treatment planning, and postoperative monitoring of SFE procedures. CBCT imaging prior to SFE provides surgeons with a more detailed view of the surgical site, allows for the detection of potential pathologies three-dimensionally, and helps to virtually plan the procedure more precisely while reducing patient morbidity. In addition, it serves as a useful follow-up tool for assessing sinus and bone graft changes. Meanwhile, using CBCT imaging has to be standardized and justified based on the recognized diagnostic imaging guidelines, taking into account both the technical and clinical considerations. Future studies are recommended to incorporate artificial intelligence-based solutions for automating and standardizing the diagnostic and decision-making process in the context of SFE procedures to further improve the standards of patient care.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: The ankle joint is the most load-bearing joint of the human body. The health consciousness of people is increasing day by day, the probability of ankle sports injuries is also increasing. Objective: Analyze the applying sports medicine ultrasound value to rehabilitate anterior talofibular tendon injury. Methods: Seventy- two patients with anterior talofibular injury in a particular hospital were divided into control and observation groups to observe the effect of recovery, recovery time, and degree of ligament injury during rehabilitation treatment. Results: In the observation group, the complete recovery rate was 91.67%, incomplete recovery (8.33%), recovery time was (2.36±0.9) months. The complete recovery rate of the control group is (77.78%), the incomplete recovery (22.2%), the recovery time (3.58±0.42) months. Patients in the experimental group had a higher grade of ligament injury III than those in the control group during each rehabilitation period; the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: Sports medical ultrasound can determine the degree of anterior talofibular ligament rupture after injury, providing a basis for the clinical formulation of the treatment plan. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the result.

Implant-to-nasal floor dimensions projected by panoramic radiographs in the maxillary incisor-canine region: implications for dental implant treatment. Odontology 2021; 110:171-182. [PMID: 34191207 DOI: 10.1007/s10266-021-00632-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Accepted: 06/20/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
To make a comparison of panoramic radiography (PAN) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) determinations of implant-to-nasal floor dimensions (INFD) in the anterior maxillary region, and to assist in determining in which tooth regions additional radiation exposure involved in CBCT scans is justifiable. Data related to INFD by PAN (PAN-D) at implant-to-nasal floor sites (central incisor, lateral incisor, canine) were gathered using 141 implant sites from 119 adult patients. INFD was estimated employing the CBCT technique as a reference method. PAN analysis equations were created for estimation of INFD by CBCT (CBCT-D) specific to implant sites. For assessment of the agreement between the PAN and CBCT methodologies, the Bland-Altman approach was employed. There were robust and significant odds ratios that implants in the canine region would fall into the underestimation groups of > 0 mm (4.5:1) (p = 0.003), > 0.5 mm (6.2:1) (p < 0.001), and > 1 mm (5.4:1) (p = 0.002). The root mean squared error (RMSE) and pure error (PE) were highest for the canine region (RMSE = 1.973 mm, PE = 2.20 mm). This research offers evidence of site-specific underestimations of available horizontal bone dimensions for implants when PAN is employed to assess the availability of vertical bone dimensions. The data suggest that it may be necessary to exclude canine regions when making assessment of INFD through PAN. Use of CBCT may, therefore, be recommended for all implant size and angulation estimations in this region.
