Mpacted Anterior Teeth Localisation: Cognition over Radiation.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Impacted anterior teeth are an impediment to treatment planning in Dentistry. Therefore, proper localisation of the impacted tooth is imperative. CBCT is the gold standard of imaging such teeth; however, poor availability of such devices in rural areas and the economic costs involved often deter patients. Additionally, the high radiation from such devices cannot be ignored. As technology advances and we move towards a ‘smart world’, we need to retrospect on whether we are foregoing our cognitive skills at the expense of patient radiation. Previous studies have proven that plain film radiographs are highly sensitive and specific at anterior impacted teeth localisation. Here we review different localisation techniques that can enable us to identify correct tooth position using plain films.
