Abstract:

 


Objective:
Idiopathic osteosclerosis (IO) was defined as an asymptomatic, incidental
radiographic finding of intrabony sclerosis with unknown origin. The purpose of
this retrospective study is to evaluate IO distribution, location,
relationships and radiographic features by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)
in Turkish subpopulation.


Materials
and Methods: The study group consisted of CBCT images of 279 individuals, 140 females
and 139 males aged 20-69. In received images IO distribution, location in the
jaws, dental and cortical relationships, shape and internal structure were
evaluated. In axial and cross-sections superoinferior (SID), mesiodistal (MDD)
and buccolingual (BLD) distances of IO were measured. The data was compared
with age groups and gender.


Results:
Ninety-two IO in 75 individuals were detected with 26.9% distribution
rate. There was a higher prevalence in mandible (82.6%) than
maxilla (17.4%). The most frequently involved area was posterior
mandible (43.4%). No statistically
significant difference in the distribution of IO was found between genders (p˃0.05). There was a higher prevalence among young
group than middle-aged and above middle-aged groups (p=0.026). According to
relation of IO with dental roots separate IO (76.1%) was the most frequent relationship. Seven IO
(7.6%) were detected as not related with any cortical structure. Mean SID, MDD
and BLD were recorded 5.58; 4.80 and 4.18 mm respectively.


Conclusion:  IO was detected at a high rate in Turkish
subpopulation. CBCT was found as an efficient method to evaluate
radiographic features, relationships and location of IO within the jaws before
surgical and orthodontic operations.
