Is panoramic radiography adequate for diagnosing coronoid process hyperplasia? A case series - 04/10/24
Abstract |
Introduction |
The objective of this study was to compare the length ratios obtained on panoramic radiography and computed tomography (CT) to verify whether the former is adequate for diagnosing coronoid process hyperplasia.
Methods |
A case series of patients with coronoid process hyperplasia was investigated. Length ratios between the coronoid process and condyle were measured on panoramic radiographs by using the Levandoski method and on CT scans by using the methods described by Tavassol et al. and Stopa et al. The mean length ratios obtained using the three measurement methods were compared.
Results |
The mean length ratio measured with the Levandoski method was significantly lower than that measured with the method described by Stopa et al. (1.09 [0.09] vs. 1.21 [0.09]; P = 0.0001) and lower than that measured with the method described by Tavassol et al. (1.09 [0.09] vs. 1.34 [0.44]; P = 0.013).
Conclusion |
Panoramic measurement of the coronoid process by using the Levandoski method tended to underestimate the length ratio, emphasizing the importance of using a scanographic measurement method at the slightest doubt to confirm the diagnosis of coronoid process hyperplasia.
