Análisis de la densidad del hueso mandibular según la escala de hounsfield, UCSG semestre A-2019.

Abstract

Introduction: Bone quality, anatomical area, age and Hounsfield scale help us assess bone density for a correct dental treatment plan. Objective: To analyze the density of the mandibular bone according to the Hounsfield scale (HU) in patients who attend the Studio 3D Digital Dental Diagnostic Center Guayaquil, Ecuador. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study carried out at Centro Studio 3D Digital Dental Diagnosis of Guayaquil during the A-2019 semester. 80 digital tomographs who met the inclusion criteria were studied: Patients of both sexes, over 18 years of age with bone intact mandibular and partial edentulous patients. Results: The most representative study group was the 45-60 year old group with 40% in which the highest mandibular bone density was selected with the highest prevalence in the anterior jaw area with 48%, and with a type I bone 23 % for the male and female gender 22% Discussion: Shapurian et al., compared the densitometric assessment with QCT and the subjective assessment (Lekholm-Zarb) finding the type IV bone predominantly lower bone type I being this more compact and homogeneous 23% male and 22% female. Conclusion: it is detected that the most representative group according to the age range was the group of 45 to 60 years with a high density according to the Hounsfield scale with the highest incidence of type I bone in the anterior area of the compact, homogeneous mandibular bone and with a density D2- D3 in the female and male gender
