Journal Title: Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction and Objectives Oral cancer is a dreadful disease occurring most commonly in the Indian subcontinent Since there is rarely a second chance for cure initial approach to treatment is important A crucial factor in pretreatment assessment of these patients is determination of presence and extent of bone invasionMaterials and Methods A descriptive study was carried out on 25 patients with clinically and histopathologically diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma Clinical examination OPG and contrast enhanced CT was carried out on all patients Bone adjacent to the tumor was assessed on the CT and served as a gold standard The other two modalities were then compared to the gold standardResults The sensitivity and specificity for clinical examination and OPG were 632 amp 667 and 789 and 833 respectively The positive predictive value and negative predictive value for clinical examination were 857 and 364 respectively The positive predictive value and negative predictive value for OPG were 937 and 555 respectivelyConclusion The present study showed that careful clinical examination followed by OPG may serve as a preliminary evaluation to detect probable presence and extent of bone invasion in oral malignanciesKeywords Bone invasion conventional CT Orthopantomograph Squamous cell carcinoma
