Abstract

Objective To study the value of 128-slice spiral CT reconstruction in jaw fracture and the analysis of relationship between teeth and jaw. Methods Eightyeight cases of jaw fracture examined by the routine CT scan and 128-slice spiral CT scan from May 2013 to May 2015 in our hospital were chosen as object of study. We compared the surgical results with scan results, and compared the diagnostic accuracy of the two methods in oral maxillofacial fractures as well as the relationship between teeth and jaws. Results The accuracy of 128-slice spiral CT scanning for jaw fracture was 96.59%, significantly higher than that of conventional CT scanning, it is statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion 128-slice spiral CT curve-plane reconstruction has a high accuracy in diagnosis of jaw fracture, can effectively render the relationship between the teeth and jaws, and is worthy of clinical practice.
