DIAGNOSTIC OBJECTIVE:

Assessment of the anatomical structures included in the volume was requested.

Mandibular arch (#23-25)

The area of interest is #23-25, however I will need a stitched image of the entire mandibular arch. Reason for CBCT is to evaluate the site prior to implant placement.

RADIOGRAPHIC FINDINGS:

The listed structures are reviewed and evaluated for bilateral symmetry, configuration, cortical outline, medullary space, and patent sinuses/airways. Evaluation of the CBCT anatomical volume is intended as an overall review for pathology and abnormalities not directly associated with dental and periodontal conditions best imaged by conventional dental radiography. All viewed structures determined to have no significant findings are reported as no abnormalities detected.

 Findings:

  • The mandibular right and left first molars show moderate horizontal bone loss and furcation involvement.

 IMPRESSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

The purpose of this image examination is to provide an evaluation of the regional anatomical volume not directly involved with the specific intent of the imaging examination. Evaluation is limited to the capability of CBCT imaging and any further assessment of dental related conditions is best performed by conventional dental radiography. This is a consultative report only and is not intended to be a definitive diagnosis or treatment plan.

  • The mandibular right and left first molars: Moderate periodontitis, periodontal evaluation is needed to assess the prognosis of both teeth
