A New Classification of the Morphology of Complete Ponticulus Posticus on Cone Beam Computed Tomography
The objectives of this retrospective study were to measure the prevalence of complete ponticulus posticus (CPP), to propose a new classification based on two different shapes of CPP, to compare these shapes with age and gender, and to test two different methods of measurements of the diameters of CP...

description | The objectives of this retrospective study were to measure the prevalence of complete ponticulus posticus (CPP), to propose a new classification based on two different shapes of CPP, to compare these shapes with age and gender, and to test two different methods of measurements of the diameters of CPP on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and methods: We used 2012 CBCT scans from Planmeca Promax 3D Mid and Romexis 5.1 software tools to measure the height and width of the CPP, and we measured the surface of the CPP using an ellipse tool. We classified the CPP into “thin” and “thick” shape. Results: the prevalence of CPP was 9.49% with 97 male and 94 female patients. The unilateral type was found in 131 patients, while the bilateral type was found in 60 patients. Intra-observer reliability was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The ICC was 0.875 for height, 0.872 for width, and 0.885 for the ellipse area. Both methods present very good intra-observer reproducibility. The “thin” group tended to be older and significantly more related to female patients. The “thick” group was associated with younger male patients. Conclusions: the proposed classification of CPP may be used when reporting the CBCT large field of view. There is still a need to increase the knowledge on the atlas and on its main variant, such as complete PP. |
