PDFAbstract
Objective To investigate the application value of cone beam CT (CBCT) in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic periodontitis. Methods A total of 56 patients with chronic periodontitis who were admitted to our hospital from July 2015 to July 2016 were selected as the study subjects. The clinical probing, X-ray and CBCT of root tip were performed. All patients received periodontal basic treatment. 6 months after treatment, CBCT was performed again, and the changes of examined molar and alveolar bone height at each measurement site before and after treatment were compared. Results Before periodontal basic treatment, the height of alveolar on the mesial and distal sides in posterior region detected by CBCT and clinical was higher than that detected by X-ray (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between CBCT and clinical probing (P>0.05). After periodontal basic treatment, the height of alveolar on the mesial and distal sides in posterior region detected by CBCT was lower than that before treatment (P<0.05). After periodontal basic treatment, the alveolar bone height measured at different sites of the molars and incisors was lower than that before treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion CBCT is of high application value in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic periodontitis.
