ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aimed to determine 1) If there is
a correlation between the distance of incisors and the medial sides of the
torus tubarius, b. if there is a correlation between the distance of canine
teeth and the eustachian orifices; 2) the effects of this correlation
on the size preference of the adenoid curette used in adenoid surgery.
Material and Methods: Head-neck (brain, paranasal sinuses, temporal
bone and neck) computed tomography of 198 patients (130 males,
68 females), examined for various indications were retrospectively evaluated,
and the reciprocal distances between the medial and lateral sides
of the incisors, canine teeth and eustachian orifices and the medial sides
of the tori tubarius were determined. Results: The medial sides’ mean
distances of the eustachian orifices and the tori tubarius were 2.84±0.27
mm and 1.61±0.28 mm, respectively.The distance between the medial
sides of the eustachian orifices was smaller than the distance between
the lateral sides of the upper canine teeth, and it was larger than the distance
between the medial sides of the upper canine teeth in all patients
(100%). In most patients (93.4%), the distance between the medial sides
of the torus tubarius was larger than the distance between the medial
sides of the lower lateral incisor teeth. Conclusion: The reciprocal distance
between the upper canine and the lower lateral incisor teeth can
be used to determine the size of the adenoid curette used during adenoid
surgery to avoid damage to the eustachian orifice and the torus tubarius.

ÖZET
Bu çalışmanın amacı; 1) Kesici dişlerin karşılıklı
mesafeleri ile torus tubaris mediyal kenarlarının karşılıklı mesafeleri
arasındaki ilişkiyi, 2) Kanin dişlerin karşılıklı mesafeleri ile östaki orifis
mediyal kenarlarının karşılıklı mesafeleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bu
ilişkinin adenoid cerrahisinde kullanılan adenotom küret boyutlarına
olabilecek etkilerini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çeşitli
endikasyonlar ile çalışılan 198 (130 erkek, 68 kız) hastanın baş boyun
(beyin, paranasal sinüs, temporal kemik ve boyun) bilgisayarlı tomografi
(BT)leri retrospektif olarak incelenerek, yan insizör ve kanin
dişlerin karşılıklı mediyal ve lateral kenarları arasındaki mesafeler ile
östaki orifis ve torus tubaris mediyal kenarlarının arasındaki karşılıklı
mesafeleri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Östaki orifis mediyal kenarları
arası mesafe ortalama 2,84±0,27 mm, torus tubaris mediyal kenarları
arası mesafe ortalama 1,61±0,28 mm olarak ölçüldü. Östaki orifis
mediyal kenarlar arası mesafe, tüm hastalarda üst kanin lateral
kenarlarından küçük, üst kanin mediyal kenarlar arası mesafeden büyük
bulunmuştur (%100). Hastaların büyük çoğunluğunda (%93,4) torus
tubaris mediyal kenarları arası mesafe, alt yan insizör mediyal kenarlar
arası mesafeden büyük bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Adenoid cerrahisinde, östaki
orifis ve torus tubaris hasarını azaltmak için tercih edilecek adenotom
büyüklüğünün belirlenmesinde, üst kanin ve alt yan kesici
dişlerin karşılıklı mesafelerinden yararlanılabilir.
