Abstract

Introduction: Growth and development is a dynamic process that is influenced by many factors, this is why children of the same age do not have the same growth rate, therefore growth can not  be evaluated only by chronological age, but also by maturation skeletal and dental. Previous research has shown a strong relationship between mandibular length and Cervical Vertebral Maturation (CVM). The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between mandibular length and mandibular third molar maturation using panoramic radiograph. Methods: This research is an observational analytic cross sectional study. Total 412 panoramic radiographs of 207 male and 205 female aged 9-25 years were evaluated. The mandibular length measured from the point of condylion (Co) to menton (Me). M3 maturation of the mandible was evaluated by Demirjian methods. Results: Spearman non-parametric correlation was used for analysis. A strong correlation was found between mandibular length and third molar development (in males: r=0.705 on the right side and are=0.729 on the left side; in females: are=0.755 on the right side and are=0.707 on the left side) Conclusion: There is a strong correlation between mandibular length and mandibular third molar maturation in both male and female.

Abstract

Keratocyst odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a developmental odontogenic cyst of epithelial origin. This lesion shows features of a cyst and a benign neoplasm, because of its behavior, autonomous growth, and potential for recurrence. The KCOT occurs more significant in the posterior mandible than in maxilla. Occasionally, pain, swelling, and drainage indicate a secondary infection of the cyst. Asymptomatic KCOT usually detected in routine radiograph.  The radiographic examination is important to determine KCOT diagnose and treatment planning to prevent recurrence. The aim of this case report is to describe radiographic characteristic of keratocyst odontogenic tumor in maxilla using CBCT. A 20 year-old women patient was referred to the oral maxillofacial radiology department of Padjadjaran University with the  chief complaint of swelling, painless in the anterior of the upper jaw. In this presented case, we used cone beam computed tomography to find out the margin of the cortical extension, and diameter of the lesion. The CBCT examination shows radiolucent, well-defined lesion in 12-14 region with displacement of 12. The size of the lesion is about 20x15x19mm extended posterior-superiorly near to nasal cavity and it shows less degree of bone expansion. Based on radiographic and clinical examination, the diagnosis was keratocyst odontogenic tumor. KCOT has some radiographic characteristic distinguishable with another odontogenic lesion. Therefore; cbct examination is recommended for the diagnosis of odontogenic keratocysts and proper surgical planning.
