Role of CBCT in Detection of Osteomyelitis of Mandible: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a true infection of the bone induced by pyogenic microorganisms. Other than chronic cases, conventional imaging modalities do not offer much radiographic details. Computed tomography is considered the best modality for imaging the osteomyelitic cases. However, CBCT provides a lower dose, lower cost alternative to conventional CT and has gained increased acceptance as a 3D imaging modality.CBCT has potential to sufficiently depict osteomyelitic lesions like osteolytic and osteosclerotic areas, ill-defined cortical borders with periosteal reaction and sequestra. We present a case report of osteomyelitis in which periosteal reaction and sequestra is well appreciated in all three sagittal , coronal and axial sections of CBCT and reemphasizes the role of CBCT as a useful tool in the field of diagnostic maxilla-facial Radiology.
