Case of the Month - Implant placement with interesting incidental radiographic findings
CBCT Scanner: KaVo OP3D Vision V17
Scanning Protocol: 16cm x 6cm FOV, 0.25 voxel
Effective Dose: 0.12 mSv
Clinical information: To assess bone volume for placement of implants in the Upper 5 regions bilaterally and for any pathology on the volume.

Radiographic Impression:
Airspace: clinical evaluation of the soft tissues of the oropharynx is suggested; ectopic soft tissue calcifications within the oropharynx are common incidental radiographic findings that do not require treatment or referral.
Implant Findings: measurements provided below.
The following are selected images from the volume illustrating major findings

The following are selected images from the volume illustrating major findings
Maxillary right and left second premolar regions.
Maxillary left third molar; the third molar appears to have developed a close physical proximity with the distal buccal root of second molar leaving a corresponding developmental defect the surface of the third molar.
Radiologist comment: never seen this type of developmental defect so well delineated in 12 years of reading CBCT images.
