Abstract
AbstractPurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of intraoral ultrasonography (US) for gingival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) thickness and bone invasion compared with computed tomography (CT).Materials and MethodsThis study assessed eight gingival squamous cell carcinoma patients who underwent US and CT at our hospital from April 2021 to November 2021. Grayscale and color Doppler US were performed using a liner 14 MHz transducer. Computed tomography imaging was undergone with a 16‐multidetector CT scanner using the oral and maxillofacial protocol. The relationship between US and CT on tumor thickness of gingival SCC was assessed by Pearson's rank correlation test. A p value lower than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.ResultsPresence or absence of bone invasion was consistent in CT and US. We plotted tumor thickness of gingival SCC and observed a significant correlation between tumor thickness using CT and US.ConclusionWe showed the usefulness of to evaluate of tumor thickness and bone invasion using intraoral US is useful with gingival SCC.
