Abstract :Aim: The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of the PneumatizedArticular Tubercle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PAT); and to evaluate the characteristics of PAT in Cone-Beam Computed Tomography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CBCT); images. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was performed using tomographic images of 276 patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(133 male, 143 female); aged between 12-85, whohad attended to Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Department for different CBCT indications. Age, gender and presence of PAT were recorded for all patients and, for cases of PAT, laterality and radiographic types were also recorded. Obtained variables were entered SPSS 20 software and the prevalence of PAT was evaluated with chi-square test according to genders and age groups. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 37.75 ± 17.1. Of the 276 patients, 39 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14.1 %); had PAT, of whom 22 were female insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(15.4 %); and 17 were male insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12.8 %);. This difference was not statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.535);. PAT was most common insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(25.6 %); in patients aged between 20-29 years and least common insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6.4 %); in patients aged between 50-59 years. The difference was statistically significant between age groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.008);. Of the 39 cases, 22 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(56.4 %);had unilateral, and 17 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(43.6 %);had bilateral PAT. 35 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(62.5%);PATsweremultilocular and 24insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(37.5%); were unilocular. Conclusion: PAT was found to be a common anomaly on CBCT images.Presence andcharacteristicsof PAT should be evaluated with CBCT to avoid possible complications especially in patients who will get a surgical intervention to the articular eminence region.
