Evaluation of radiological consultation profile between faculties of medicine and dentistry Entry: Consultation; follow-up of a patient and a physician's own branch of treatment or to get the opinion of physicians from different branches and treatment of the patient in line with these recommendations. Guiding the planning and monitoring 1 Today, both in the medical field and knowledge in dental practice With the accumulation of knowledge and the increase in specialization branches, physician of any branch primarily to issues within its own field. concentration, thus outside the field are adequately equipped causes it to fail. This lack of need medicine and dentists to eliminate accurately diagnose their patients when they hear and to make the most appropriate treatment planning may need consultation for between dentist and medical practitioner consultation; medical consultation and two types of dental consultation can happen. 3 Dentists associate with a systemic disease or present in the anamnesis of patients in order to remove the uncertainties diagnosis prior to their treatment. which includes different examinations (eg: lab tests, advanced imaging examinations) various medical consultations 4 Today, worldwide with an increase in life expectancy together; acute or with chronic diseases and regular medication many individuals from the older age group who use They treat it.5 In the 1900s, Average life expectancy of 47 in America by the 2000s, it was 74. reach; dentists in the advanced age group medical services requested by their patients increases the number of consultations.6 In addition, medical practitioners the operation they will apply to their patients, radiotherapy-chemotherapy, bone marrow after treatments such as transplantation prevention of possible complications dental patients before treatment on behalf ofrequest deregistration can. Again focal infection odontogenous foci in patients with suspected dentists for the purpose of determining dental clinics requested by their dentists. may need consultation. Correct diagnosis of a disease at least as important as the treatment to be performed is a phase. At this stage, nowadays with the help of emerging technology radiological evaluations, one of the most important steps in the diagnostic phase. 7 Both medicine and dentistry radiology unit in faculties of medicine especially those involved in the diagnosis are sections. In this context, dentistry intraoral in radiology units of faculties (periapical radiography, occlusal radiography, bite-wing radiograph) and extraoral (panoramic radiographs, hand-wristcephalometric projections, temporomandibular joint radiographs) In addition to imaging techniques, dental volumetric tomography (DVT) and advanced ultrasound (USG) using various imaging methods detailed investigations of pathologies is done. Restoration of dental and oral health periodic acquisition and maintenance dental radiographs for exams is extremely important. achieve on purpose X-rays of teeth and environment to diagnose localized pathologies in tissues helping; cyst from a simple dental caries, oral malignancy, metabolic and systemic changes that occur with disease at many stages until guide physicians. With the developing technology, the 2000s At the beginning of the years, especially DVT's dental with its place in the practice of medicine Many pathologies in the maxillofacial region easily diagnosed by dentists. started to be placed. 8 DVT's medical Compared to computed tomography more radiation dose reaching the patient low, voxel sizes are smaller spatial resolution and better image quality provided. Fast scanning time and cost and Advantages such as small footprint This advanced imaging method; from oral implantology associated with the temporo-mandibular joint many aspects of dentistry, from pathologies to while providing detailed information in different disciplines; nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, airway, cervical vertebrae like temporal bone It also allows the examination of anatomical structures. 8 Despite the many advantages it provides soft tissue imaging insufficiency or failure of some DVT devices. Field of view (FOV) for visualization of a wide range of pathologies where insufficient, more detailed performing radiological examinations patients, faculty of medicine, radiology 9,10 Medicine from dentistry in literature consultation to the branches of the faculty reviewing studies examining the distribution of cases, often cardiology, internal diseases, oncology, immunology, cardiovascular surgery, chest diseases-allergy, women diseases and childbirth, ear-nose-throat diseases, orthopedics and traumatology, directed to departments such as dermatology, Most of these departments in the department for which consultation is requested. as a cardiology unit 2,4-6 Medical consultation One of the branches directed to Although it is a radiology unit, this unit radiological by dentists. cases referred for consultation A study on the distribution of not found. planned retrospectively our aim in our study; dentist faculty of medicine faculty of radiology for radiological consultation patients referred to the medical faculty while investigating the reasons for referral; medicine from faculty of dentistry to faculty of dentistry keeping a record of the consultations between faculties of medicine and dentistry radiological consultation profile is to determine.
