Uso de la CBCT como herramienta diagnóstica para valoración de defecto óseo de Stafne revisión sistemática.

Abstract

Problem: Bone defects constitute a pathology whose prevalence is 0.1 to 0.48%, without the presence of any symptoms, limiting its identification in time and, its best diagnosis to avoid unnecessary surgeries should be under the use of CBCT Objective: Establish benefits of Cbct as a diagnostic tool for the assessment of Stafne bone defect. Materials and methods: A bibliographic review was carried out with a qualitative cross-sectional approach, descriptive design, analytical, deductive method, the search for scientific articles was carried out in Pubmed, Cochrane, Science Direct and Google Scholar metasearch engines. A total of 40 articles were obtained from 2005 to 2021, of which 20 articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: CBCT provides multiplanar images at low radiation doses, however, its high cost limits its use. Bone defects do not generate symptoms, so their finding is made by X-rays and CBCT. The authors noted that Stafne's bone defect occurred in both men and women but is predominantly seen in men in their 40s and 50s. Most patients present these defects in the posterior region of the jaw, they can also appear in the anterior area. The parameters that influence the diagnostic image quality is the radiation dose and the use of isotropic voxels. Conclusion: CBCT is a specialized study where the presumptive diagnosis is usually confirmed, making it reliable for radiographic diagnosis, in addition to providing a limitation of its radiation dose.
