The importance of the use of computed tomography in diagnosis and in endodontic planning: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective: The aim of this study was to report a case of an endodontic re-treatment in a patient submitted to orthognathic surgery, using computed tomography to aid the diagnosis and treatment plan. Methods: The patient was referred for endodontic evaluation of anterior teeth with a history of orthognathic surgery on the maxilla and rigid internal fixation with miniplates for osteosynthesis in the region close to the dental apexes. Results: A three-dimensional evaluation of the region demonstrated periapical lesion of the left central incisor. The endodontic re-treatment resulted in remission of symptoms and regression of periapical bone rarefaction. Conclusion: The use of computed tomography was essential to the resolution of this case, what was proved with bone neoformation.

Although aplastic anemia (AA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are separate entities with different management, distinction between the two can be difficult on morphological basis due to hypocellularity of bone marrow. MDS is one of the serious complications of AA. Karyotyping is definitive in the diagnosis of MDS. Better and robust investigations like 18F-Fluoro-deoxy-Glucose Posi...
