Three dimensional imaging in the form of Cone Beam Computed Tomography has become prevalent in the field of orthodontics. Analytical methods of resulting volumetric data sets have not kept pace with the technology capable of producing them. Current 3D analysis techniques are largely adaptations of existing 2D methods, offering no clear diagnostic advantage over traditional imaging techniques in light of increased radiation exposure, and cannot be compared with norms generated from 2D image capture sources. In order to study morphology in 3D, data sets must be generated for longitudinal studies and native 3D analytical methods must also be developed. Existing methods of CBCT volume superimposition are cumbersome, involving complex software pipelines and multiple systems to complete the process. The goal of the current study was to develop a reproducible method of CBCT volume superimposition in the posterior cranial base in a single software package, and construct an easy to follow, step-by-step manual to facilitate future studies in craniofacial morphology. Existing anonymized sequential CBCT volumes of three subjects meeting inclusion criteria were obtained from the Kornberg School of Dentistry Department of Radiology. Volumes for each subject were imported into AMIRA software, resampled to a standardized 0.5 mm voxel size and superimposed with a mutual information algorithm. Posterior cranial base surface data was extracted using a semi-automatic technique. Resulting surface distance data was compiled and visualized through application of color maps. A streamlined image processing protocol was produced and documented in a detailed step-by-step manual. Surface distance analysis of serial segmentations was performed to verify reliability of the process. Surface distance deviations greater than 0.5 mm consistently fell below 0.2 percent of the total surface area. Sequential scan superimpositions of all three subjects exhibited mean surface distances of less than 0.15 mm. Two out of three subjects exhibited deviations of greater than 0.5 mm in less than 1 percent of the total surface area, suggesting consistent sub-voxel accuracy of the protocol. / Oral Biology

L'imagerie cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) est une méthodologie de contrôle non destructif permettant l'obtention d'images volumiques d'un objet. Le système d'acquisition se compose d'un tube à rayons X et d'un détecteur plan numérique. La recherche développée dans ce manuscrit se déroule dans le contexte industriel. L'objet est placé sur une platine de rotation et une séquence d'images 2D est acquise. Un algorithme de reconstruction procure des données volumiques de l'atténuation de l'objet. Ces informations permettent de réaliser une étude métrologique et de valider ou non la conformité de la pièce imagée. La qualité de l'image 3D est dégradée par différents artefacts inhérents à la plateforme d'acquisition. L'objectif de cette thèse est de mettre au point une méthode de correction adaptée à une plateforme de micro-tomographie par rayons X d'objets manufacturés poly-matériaux. Le premier chapitre décrit les bases de la physique et de l'algorithmie propres à la technique d'imagerie CBCT par rayons X ainsi que les différents artefacts nuisant à la qualité de l'image finale. Le travail présenté ici se concentre sur deux types d'artefacts en particulier: les rayonnements secondaires issus de l'objet et du détecteur et le durcissement de faisceau. Le second chapitre présente un état de l'art des méthodes visant à corriger le rayonnement secondaire. Afin de quantifier le rayonnement secondaire, un outil de simulation basé sur des techniques de Monte Carlo hybride est développé. Il permet de caractériser le système d'acquisition installé au laboratoire de façon réaliste. Le troisième chapitre détaille la mise en place et la validation de cet outil. Les calculs Monte Carlo étant particulièrement prohibitifs en terme de temps de calcul, des techniques d'optimisation et d'accélération sont décrites. Le comportement du détecteur est étudié avec attention et il s'avère qu'une représentation 2D suffit pour modéliser le rayonnement secondaire. Le modèle de simulation permet une reproduction fidèle des projections acquises avec le système réel. Enfin, le dernier chapitre présente la méthodologie de correction que nous proposons. Une première reconstruction bruitée de l'objet imagé est segmentée afin d'obtenir un modèle voxélisé en densités et en matériaux. L'environnement de simulation fournit alors les projections associées à ce volume. Le volume est corrigé de façon itérative. Des résultats de correction d'images tomographiques expérimentales sont présentés dans le cas d'un objet mono-matériaux et d'un objet poly-matériaux. Notre routine de correction réduit les artefacts de cupping et améliore la description du volume reconstruit. / Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a standard nondestructive imaging technique related to the acquisition of three-dimensional data. This methodology interests a wide range of applications. An industrial CBCT system comprises an X-ray source and a flat-panel detector. Radiographic images are acquired during a rotation of the object of interest. A reconstruction algorithm leads to a volumic representation of the object and a post-processing routine assesses its validity. Accurate quantitative reconstruction is needed to perform an efficient diagsnotic. However, it is challenged by the presence of different artefacts coming from the acquisition itself. This thesis aims at analyzing and correcting those artefacts in a context of industrial micro-tomography. After an introduction to the physical and algorithmic background of CBCT, the artefacts are presented. Our study adresses two major artefacts: beam hardening and scatter radiations coming from the object and the detector. The second chapter reports on the state of the art in secondary radiation correction. A simulation model of the CBCT imaging chain is developed in a Monte Carlo environment. This model is designed to be realistic in order to get an accurate insight on the processes contributing to the final image formation. The third chapter focuses on the built and validation of the simulation tool. Monte Carlo methods are exact but prohibitively slow. Consequently, acceleration and optimization techniques are used to speed-up the calculations without loss of accuracy. A layer model of the flat-panel detector gives some insight on its secondary radiation behavior. More specifically, we demonstrate that a 2D description of the detector would be sufficient to compute its contribution. Our projection tool fits well with the real system. Finally, the last chapter describes our iterative correction method. The noisy initial reconstruction is segmented into different materials and densities and fed to the simulation framework. Beam hardening and secondary radiations are corrected via the volume reconstructed from the difference between acquired and simulated projections. This correction method is shown to be effective on both mono-material and poly-material objects.

This dissertation describes the application of two principled variance reduction strategies to increase the efficiency for two applications within medical physics. The first, called correlated Monte Carlo (CMC) applies to patient-specific, permanent-seed brachytherapy (PSB) dose calculations. The second, called adjoint-biased forward Monte Carlo (ABFMC), is used to compute cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scatter projections. CMC was applied for two PSB cases: a clinical post-implant prostate, and a breast with a simulated lumpectomy cavity. CMC computes the dose difference between the highly correlated dose computing homogeneous and heterogeneous geometries. The particle transport in the heterogeneous geometry assumed a purely homogeneous environment, and altered particle weights accounted for bias. Average gains of 37 to 60 are reported from using CMC, relative to un-correlated Monte Carlo (UMC) calculations, for the prostate and breast CTV’s, respectively. To further increase the efficiency up to 1500 fold above UMC, an approximation called interpolated correlated Monte Carlo (ICMC) was applied. ICMC computes using CMC on a low-resolution (LR) spatial grid followed by interpolation to a high-resolution (HR) voxel grid followed. The interpolated, HR is then summed with a HR, pre-computed, homogeneous dose map. ICMC computes an approximate, but accurate, HR heterogeneous dose distribution from LR MC calculations achieving an average 2% standard deviation within the prostate and breast CTV’s in 1.1 sec and 0.39 sec, respectively. Accuracy for 80% of the voxels using ICMC is within 3% for anatomically realistic geometries. Second, for CBCT scatter projections, ABFMC was implemented via weight windowing using a solution to the adjoint Boltzmann transport equation computed either via the discrete ordinates method (DOM), or a MC implemented forward-adjoint importance generator (FAIG). ABFMC, implemented via DOM or FAIG, was tested for a single elliptical water cylinder using a primary point source (PPS) and a phase-space source (PSS). The best gains were found by using the PSS yielding average efficiency gains of 250 relative to non-weight windowed MC utilizing the PPS. Furthermore, computing 360 projections on a 40 by 30 pixel grid requires only 48 min on a single CPU core allowing clinical use via parallel processing techniques.

Este estudo clínico prospectivo avaliou a taxa de sucesso do tratamento endodôntico utilizando um protocolo antimicrobiano definido. Trinta e cinco dentes unirradiculares com periodontite apical primária foram submetidos ao tratamento endodôntico. O preparo químico-cirúrgico foi realizado com instrumentos reciprocantes, utilizando NaOCl 2,5%, seguidos de ativação com o instrumento XP-endo Finisher e irrigação ultrassônica passiva como procedimentos complementares de desinfecção (PCD) na 1a consulta. Os canais radiculares foram preenchidos com pasta de hidróxido de cálcio por 14 dias e obturados após reinstrumentação dos canais radiculares na 2a consulta. Coletas microbiológicas realizadas no momento da obturação, analisadas por qPCR baseada em 16S rDNA, foram correlacionadas com o prognóstico do tratamento. Vinte e sete casos retornaram para acompanhamento, aproximadamente 12 meses após o tratamento. O sucesso do tratamento endodôntico foi analisado baseado em critérios clínicos, radiográficos e tomográficos. A análise das imagens foi realizada por 2 avaliadores treinados, com valor de Kappa igual a 0,74 e 0,6 para tomografia e radiografia, respectivamente. A tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) apresentou maior especificidade (37%) pós tratamento quando comparada com a radiografia periapical (59,3%) (p = 0,03). Porém, quando o sucesso do tratamento foi analisado pela ausência ou redução da lesão periapical, ambos os métodos apresentaram o mesmo índice de sucesso (89%). A variação do volume das lesões periapicais foi significativa 1 ano após o tratamento (p < 0.0001). Dos 22 casos que possuíam dados microbiológicos, 32% apresentaram reações qPCR positivas no momento da obturação. A presença de baixos níveis de DNA bacteriano no momento da obturação dos canais radiculares não exerceu influência no prognóstico do tratamento. Concluiu-se que a taxa de sucesso do tratamento endodôntico utilizando PCD foi elevada, provavelmente devido à drástica redução bacteriana promovida pelo protocolo estudado. / This prospective clinical trial evaluated the success rate of endodontic treatments using a defined antimicrobial protocol. Thirty-five unirradicular teeth with primary apical periodontitis were submitted to endodontic treatment. The chemicalsurgical preparation was performed with reciprocating instruments, using NaOCl 2.5%, followed by activation with XP-endo Finisher and passive ultrasonic irrigation as complementary procedures in the 1st session. The root canals were dressed with calcium hydroxide paste for 14 days and root filing were performed after re-instrumentation. Microbiological samples were performed at the time of root filling, analyzed by qPCR based on 16S rDNA, and correlated with the treatment outcome. Twenty-seven cases returned for follow-up, approximately 12 months after treatment. The success of endodontic treatment was analyzed based on clinical, radiographic and tomographic criteria. The images analysis was performed by 2 trained evaluators with a Kappa value of 0.74 and 0.6 for tomography and radiography, respectively. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) showed higher rate of specificity (37%) post treatment when compared to periapical radiography (59.3%) (p = 0.03). However, when the success was analyzed by absence or reduction of the periapical lesion, both methods had similar success rate (89%). The periapical lesions volume was significantly reduced 1 year after treatment (p <0.0001). From 22 cases with microbiological data, 32% had positive qPCR reactions at the time of root filling. The presence of low levels of bacterial DNA at the moment of root filling had no influence on the treatment outcome. It was concluded that the success rate of endodontic treatment using complementary disinfection procedures was high, probably due to the drastic bacterial reduction promoted by the studied protocol.

A qualidade óssea, bem como a estabilidade inicial dos implantes, está diretamente relacionada com o sucesso das reabilitações na implantodontia. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a correlação entre índices radiomorfométricos de densidade óssea por meio de radiografias panorâmicas, perfil de qualidade óssea com o auxílio de Tomografia Computadorizada de Feixe Cônico (TCFC) com o uso do software de imagens OsiriX, Análise da Frequência de Ressonância (RFA) e Torque de Inserção do implante. Foram avaliados 160 implantes de 72 indivíduos, com média etária de 55,5 (±10,5) anos. Nas radiografias panorâmicas foram obtidos os índices IM, IPM e ICM, e nas tomografias computadorizadas de feixe cônico, os valores de pixels e a espessura da cortical da crista óssea alveolar, além da estabilidade primária por meio do torque de inserção e análise da frequência de ressonância. Os resultados foram analisados pelo coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, para p<= 0,01 foi obtido entre o torque de inserção e valores de pixels (0.330), o torque de inserção e a espessura da cortical da crista alveolar (0.339), o torque de inserção e o ISQ vestibulo-lingual (0.193), os valores de pixels e espessura da cortical da crista alveolar (0.377), as duas direções vestíbulo-lingual e mesio-distal do ISQ (0.674), o ISQ vestíbulo-lingual e a espessura da cortical da crista alveolar (0.270); os índices radiomorfométricos foram correlacionados entre eles e para p<= 0,05 foi obtido entre torque de inserção e ISQ mesio-distal (0.131), entre o ISQ vestibulo-lingual e os valores de pixels (0.156) e ISQ mesio-distal e IPMI esquerdo (0.149) e ISQ mesio-distal e IPMS esquerdo (0.145). Existe correlação entre a TCFC, o torque de inserção e a RFA na avaliação da qualidade óssea. É possível utilizar, pré-cirurgicamente, os exames de TCFC para avaliar a qualidade e quantidade óssea, tendo em vista as correlações obtidas neste estudo. / The bone quality and initial stability of implants are directly related to the success of rehabilitation in implantology. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between radiomorphometric indexes of bone density through panoramic radiographic images, bone quality profile using the Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and the OsiriX imaging software, Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) and insertion torque implant. One hundred and sixty implants were evaluated in 72 individuals with a mean age of 55.5 (± 10.5) years. In the panoramic radiographic images, the IM, IPM and ICM indexes were assessed. For the cone beam computed tomography, the analyses included pixel values, thickness of cortical bone crest, as well as the primary stability through the insertion torque and resonance frequency. The results were analyzed by Spearman correlation coefficient for p <= 0.01. The values between insertion torque and pixel were (0.330), the insertion torque and cortical thickness of the alveolar crest were (0.339), for torque insertion and ISQ vestibule-lingual (0.193), and for pixel values and cortical thickness of the alveolar crest (0.377). Considering both directions bucco-lingual and mesial-distal ISQ the values were (0.674), the bucco-lingual ISQ and cortical thickness of the alveolar ridge were (0.270); the radiomorphometric indexes were correlated between themselves. Values of p <= 0.05 were obtained between insertion torque and mesio-distal ISQ (0.131), as well as the ISQ vestibule-lingual and the pixel values (0.156) and also mesial-distal ISQ and left IPMI (0.149) and mesial-distal ISQ and left IPMS (0.145). There is a correlation between the CBCT, the insertion torque and RFA in the evaluation of bone quality. CBCT scans can be used prior to surgery, in order to assess bone quality and quantity, considering the correlations obtained in this study.

O principal objetivo do tratamento endodôntico em dentes com infecções primárias é a cura da periodontite apical, o que ocorre geralmente após a máxima redução de micro-organismos do canal radicular. Métodos microbiológicos moleculares são os métodos de escolha para avaliar a redução de micro-organismos após o tratamento endodôntico por serem mais sensíveis, específicos e precisos do que os métodos baseados em cultura bacteriológica. Entretanto, poucos estudos clínicos avaliaram a eficácia antimicrobiana do tratamento endodôntico por métodos moleculares. Além disso, até o presente momento, não há nenhum estudo correlacionando esses dados com o sucesso do tratamento endodôntico. Portanto, os objetivos do presente estudo foram: (a) avaliar in vivo, por métodos moleculares quantitativos, a concentração de bactérias nos canais radiculares e sua, correlação com aspectos clínicos e radiográficos; (b) correlacionar a redução bacteriana após o tratamento endodôntico com reparo apical após controle radiográfico e tomográfico. Trinta e quatro pacientes portadores de dentes com necrose pulpar e periodontite apical foram selecionados para o estudo. O protocolo de antissepsia consistiu em realizar o Preparo Químico-Cirúrgico (PQC) com sistema Reciproc e NaOCl 2,5%; irrigação final com EDTA-T 17%; e medicação intracanal com pasta de hidróxido de cálcio por 14 dias antes da obturação dos canais radiculares. Foram realizadas coletas microbiológicas dos canais radiculares no início do tratamento e na segunda sessão, após a remoção da medicação intracanal antes da obturação. As amostras microbiológicas foram analisadas por Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase quantitativa (qPCR) para detecção e quantificação de bactérias utilizando iniciadores universais para o domínio Bactéria. Para análise do sucesso do tratamento endodôntico, foram analisados aspectos clínicos, radiográficos e tomográficos após um período mínimo de controle de 1 ano. Os casos foram classificados em 4 categorias: ausência de rarefação óssea periapical, redução ou aumento e incerto. Bactérias foram observadas em 100% das amostras iniciais coletadas, com concentrações medianas de 1,68 x 106 cópias de DNA. A análise estatística de regressão logística não apresentou correlação entre concentrações de DNA bacteriano com dados clínicos. Após o tratamento endodôntico, as medianas das concentrações de bactérias foram de 8.72 x 102, os resultados mostraram que houve diminuição significativa na concentração de DNA bacteriano (p<0,05), correspondendo a porcentagem de redução de 99.98% nos canais radiculares após os procedimentos de antissepsia. Retornaram para o controle, 20 dos 34 pacientes (58,82%), entre 13 a 22 meses após o tratamento endodôntico. Dois dentes foram extraídos, restando um total de 18 dentes para análise clínica e radiográfica. O sucesso classificado por ausência ou redução da rarefação óssea na radiografia periapical foi observada em 16 dos 18 dentes (88,83%). Dos 2 casos de insucesso radiográfico, um apresentou elevada quantidade de bactérias (>104) persistentes após os procedimentos de antissepsia e um caso apresentou obturação deficiente. Entretanto, a análise estatística de regressão logística não identificou nenhum fator específico associado ao insucesso endodôntico. A análise tomográfica foi realizada em 12 dos 18 pacientes. Os achados tomográficos confirmaram ausência/ redução da rarefação periapical verificada na radiografia, com exceção de um caso onde não houve redução da área da rarefação. Conclui-se que dentes com necrose pulpar e periodontite apical apresentam uma elevada concentração de bactérias no sistema de canais radiculares. O tratamento endodôntico foi eficaz em reduzir significativamente a quantidade de bactérias dos canais radiculares e promover uma elevada taxa de sucesso endodôntico. / The objectives of the endodontic treatment of teeth with primary infections is the healing of apical periodontitis, which usually occurs after the maximum reduction of micro-organisms in the root canal. Molecular methods are the methods of choice for assessing the reduction of micro-organisms after endodontic treatment to be more sensitive, specific and accurate than methods based on bacteriological culture. The objectives of this study were to evaluate in vivo by molecular methods, the concentration of bacteria in root canals and correlation of bacterial reduction after endodontic treatment with apical repair after radiographic control and CBCT. Thirty four teeth with apical periodontitis, with radiographic evidence of periapical were selected for this study. The root canal preparation of all the teeth was carried out with reciprocating files and 2.5% NaOCl during preparation; and 17% EDTA for smear layer removal. The root canals were medicated with calcium hydroxide for 14 days. Microbiological sampling were performed before the preparation and after intracanal medication. The samples were analyzed by real time PCR, for the detection and quantification of bacteria,. Bacteria were observed in 100% of the initial samples. . Bacteria were observed in 100% of the initial samples, with median concentrations of 1.68 x 106 copies of the DNA. After endodontic treatment, the median bacterial concentrations were 8.72 x 102, the results showed a significant decrease in the concentration of bacterial DNA (p <0.05), corresponding to 99.98% reduction in the percentage of root canals after procedures of antisepsis. 13 to 19 months after treatment, the teeth were examined by using periapical radiography (PA) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Area and volume of the periapical lesions were measured, and the outcome was presented in 4 categories: absence, reduction or enlargement of the radiolucency, or uncertain. Lesions were classified as reduced or enlarged when the change in size of the radiolucency was 20% or more. The recall rate was 58,82%, and 18 teeth were analyzed. Success classified by the absence or reduction of bone thinning in periapical radiography was observed in 16 of the 18 teeth (88.83%). CT findings confirmed the absence / reduction of periapical rarefaction observed on radiographs, except for one case. Conclude that teeth with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis have a high concentration of bacteria in the root canal system. The endodontic treatment was effective in significantly reducing the amount of bacteria from root canals and to promote a high rate of success endodontic.

A detecção de periapicopatias comprometendo a cortical sinusal pode ser subestimada em radiografias periapicais, que é o exame de rotina, pela sobreposição de estruturas. Neste estudo, a sensibilidade, especificidade e reprodutibilidade da TCFC para a avaliação da integridade da cortical sinusal próxima de lesões periapicais (com e sem comunicação oroantral) foram avaliadas em relação a um padrão-ouro (erosões na região periapical de molares superiores em 20 maxilas suínas maceradas). Foi realizada a primeira etapa de aquisições com as maxilas íntegras, visando familiarizar os observadores com a anatomia da maxila suína e excluir da amostra os sítios com defeitos ósseos pré-existentes. Após isso, foram extraídos os primeiros-molares e lesões periapicais foram simuladas com ácido perclórico. A duração da exposição ao ácido foi controlada em dois tempos: T1 que gerou lesões incipientes e T2 que gerou lesões maiores. O estabelecimento de comunicação oroantral deu-se em 22 sítios. Em seguida, os dentes foram reimplantados nos devidos alvéolos. Realizou-se a segunda etapa de aquisições. Dois observadores, devidamente familiarizados com lesões simuladas na maxila suína com e sem comunicação, avaliaram os exames duas vezes, com intervalo de tempo de uma semana. Todos os exames estavam em ordem aleatória em uma estação de trabalho independente contendo o software OsiriX MD. Os resultados demonstraram uma boa acurácia (66 a 78%) e alta especificidade (70 a 98%) com índices moderados de concordância intraobservadores (0,49 e 0,56), porém gerou resultados distintos de sensibilidade (41%, 55%, 78% e 60%) que culminou em um baixo índice de concordância interexaminadores (0,21 e 0,35). A maior dificuldade relatada pelos observadores foi a alta presença de ruído na imagem, influenciada principalmente pela relação do FOV e voxel que acabou afetando a resolução da imagem do exame. / The detection of periapical diseases affecting the cortical sinus may be underestimated in periapical radiographs, which is the method of choice, by overlapping structures. In this study, the sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility of CBCT to assessing the integrity of the cortical sinus near periapical lesions (with and without communication oroantral) were evaluated by comparing with a gold standard (erosions in the periapical region of maxillary molars in 20 maxillae swine macerated). We performed the first step of acquisitions with intact maxillae in order to acquaint the observers with the swine anatomy and delete the sample sites with pre - existing bone defects. After this, we extracted the first premolar and simulated periapical lesions with perchloric acid . The duration of acid exposure was controlled in two stages: generating incipient lesions T1 and T2 which generated larger lesions. Establishing oroantral communication was more related to the proximity with the alveolus then the periapical periodontitis size, generating 22 sites with communication. Then the teeth were reimplanted in the appropriate dental alveoli to the next tomographic acquisitions. Two trained observers evaluated the tests twice, with an interval of a week\'s time. All tests were in random order on a standalone workstation with software OsiriX MD. The results demonstrated good accuracy (66 to 78%) and high specificity (70% to 98%) and moderate rate of intraobserver concordance (0,49 and 0,56)trai, but generated different results of sensitivity (41%, 55%, 78% and 60%) which culminated in a low rate of interobserver concordance (0,35 and 0,21). The main difficulty reported by the observers was the high presence of image noise, mainly influenced by the ratio of the FOV and voxel that ended up affecting the reliability of the examination.

A cirurgia de terceiros molares inferiores, não irrompidos, é considerada por muitos uma cirurgia difícil que exige habilidade e treinamento, espera-se, que seja preferencialmente feita por um cirurgião dentista especialista em Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial. Acidentes e complicações podem ocorrer no trans e pós-operatório sendo o dano ao nervo alveolar inferior um dos acidentes que podem ser decorrentes da cirurgia de terceiros molares inferiores. O exame complementar por imagem mais prescrito, para observar estruturas anatômicas do complexo maxilomandibular é a radiografia panorâmica, porém, a tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico pode ser considerado o exame imaginológico mais adequado para identificar mais precisamente a relação dos terceiros molares mandibulares com a anatomia local. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar planejamento cirúrgico para extração de terceiros molares inferiores entre a radiografia panorâmica e a TCFC e também avaliar e descrever os possíveis acidentes e complicações nas cirurgias para extração dos dentes não irrompidos e correlaciona-los aos achados incidentais imaginológicos. Para isso foram selecionadas 21 radiografias de pacientes da clínica de cirurgia, estomatologia e integrada da Faculdade de Odontologia de Bauru - USP que possuíam indicação de extração de terceiros molares inferiores e que preenchiam o requisito de suspeita de íntimo contato das raízes dos terceiros molares com o canal mandibular, que é uma indicação para a realização de TCFC. Foram realizados extrações de 21 terceiros molares não irrompidos. Durante e após a cirurgia, o cirurgião ficou responsável por realizar a coleta de dados referente a anatomia e possíveis acidentes e complicações decorrentes do ato operatório. Após a cirurgia de terceiros molares inferiores dois examinadores cegos, independentes da seleção das radiografias, do resultado da exodontia e da TCFC, avaliaram primeiramente as radiografias e 30 dias depois, as TCFC. A análise estatística entre os dois métodos foi realizada pelo Teste Exato de Fischer, com nível de significância de 5%. Nos quesitos investigados nesta pesquisa houve diferenças estatísticas significantes na avaliação radiográfica entre os dois radiologistas no item Estreitamento Mandibular e na avaliação tomográfica no item Dilaceração. Sendo possível concluir que ambos exames complementares apresentam imagens suficientes para planejamento de cirurgia dos dentes não irrompidos. / The third molar surgery, impacted or semi-impacted, is considered by many a difficult surgery that requires skills and training, it is expected, which is preferably to be done by a dental surgeon specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Accidents and complications can occur in trans and postoperative, damaging the inferior alveolar nerve one of the accidents that may result from the lower third molar surgery. The most prescribed x-ray to observe anatomical structures of maxilomandibular complex are the panoramic radiograph, however, cone beam computed tomography can be considered the most appropriate one to identify more precisely the relationship of mandibular third molars with the local anatomy. The objectives of this study were to evaluate surgical planning for extraction of third molars between panoramic radiography and CBCT and also assess and describe the possible accidents and complications in surgery for extraction of unerupted teeth and correlates them to incidental findings at imaging examination. For this purpose it was selected 21 radiographs of patients at the clinic of surgery, stomatology and integrated Bauru Dental School - USP that they had indication of lower third molars and also they met the requirements of suspected close contact of the third molar roots with the mandibular canal, which is an indication for performing CBCT. Extractions of 21 third molars unerupted were performed. During and after surgery, the surgeon was responsible for performing and gathering data regarding the anatomy and possible accidents and complications of the surgery. After the third molar surgery two blind independent examiners, without the selection of X-rays or the result of extraction and the CBCT, first evaluated the radiographs and 30 days later, the CBCT. The statistical analysis between the two methods was performed by Fisher\'s Exact Test, with 5% of significance level. The questions investigated in this study had statistically significant differences in radiographic evaluation between the two radiologists on the item Narrowing Mandibular and tomographic evaluation in Laceration item. Being possible to conclude that both additional tests have enough images for planning surgery of unerupted teeth.
