How does the clinical and tomographic appearance of MRONJ influences its treatment prognosis?
CONCLUSIONS: Lesions at Stage 3 MRONJ, with tooth involvement, or sequestrum formation showed poor outcomes when conservative treatment is chosen. Alternatively, surgical treatment is most effective when BPs are discontinued, in Stage 1 lesions, in the presence of sequestrum formation, and absence of periosteal reaction.PMID:37870051 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230304 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Imaging findings of arrested pneumatisation and differentiation from other skull base lesions
CONCLUSIONS: The characteristic imaging findings of AP, namely non-expansile on CT and non-uptake on FDG-PET, may aid in its differentiation from other skull base lesions.PMID:37870117 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230297 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Quantitative assessment of condylar bone resorption using fused CBCT images: differentiating and diagnosing three distinct groups based on volume and thickness decrease
CONCLUSIONS: The fused images can improve the diagnostic accuracy and repeatability for the samples with at least 50 mm3 volume decrease or 1 mm thickness decrease compared with the image groups without fusion.PMID:37870149 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230337 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Assessment of landmark detection in cephalometric radiographs with different conditions of brightness and contrast using the an artificial intelligence software
CONCLUSIONS: While the reliability of the AIs for cephalometric landmark identification was rated as excellent, low brightness and high contrast seemed to affect its reproducibility. The experienced human examiner, on the other hand, did not show such faulty reproducibility; therefore, the AIs used in this study is an excellent auxiliary tool for cephalometric analysis, but still depends on human supervision to be clinically reliable.PMID:37869886 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230065 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Association between clinical manifestations of occlusal trauma and magnetic resonance imaging findings of periodontal ligament space
CONCLUSIONS: A significant correlation between the degree of occlusal trauma and the signal intensity of the periodontal ligament space suggests a new potential MRI-based method for objectively determining occlusal trauma.PMID:37772599 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230176 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)
