Abstract

Traumatic and especially inflammatory-infectious dental lesions are very prevalent in our context. Inflammatory-infectious disease is usually discovered incidentally on imaging studies that include the orofacial region. Moreover, these conditions can result in potentially severe complications, so early diagnosis and treatment are important. Multidetector computed tomography offers good diagnostic performance for dental lesions, although the radiological findings can be subtle and can go undetected if the radiologist is not familiar with them. Likewise, invasive dental procedures are becoming increasingly common, and these can also result in complications. On the other hand, in daily practice a variety of radiolucent mandibular lesions or developmental anomalies can lead to erroneous interpretations. For these reasons, radiologists should be familiar with possible findings related with dental conditions.

Resumen

La patología dentaria traumática y en especial la inflamatorio-infecciosa son muy prevalentes en nuestro medio. Esta última suele encontrarse de forma incidental en muchos de los estudios radiológicos que incluyen la región orofacial. Además, es una potencial causa de complicaciones graves, lo que hace que su diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz sean importantes. La tomografía computarizada multidetector ofrece un buen rendimiento diagnóstico en la patología dentaria, aunque sus manifestaciones radiológicas pueden ser sutiles y si no se conocen, pasar desapercibidas. Asimismo, son cada vez más frecuentes los procedimientos dentales invasivos, no exentos de complicaciones. Por otra parte, en la práctica diaria pueden encontrarse variedad de lesiones mandibulares radiolucentes o anomalías del desarrollo que pueden llevar a interpretaciones erróneas. Por todo ello, es recomendable que el radiólogo esté familiarizado con los posibles hallazgos en la patología dentaria.
