Three-dimensional clinical assessment for MRONJ risk in oncologic patients following tooth extractions
CONCLUSIONS: Periosteal reaction and sequestrum formation are suspected to be pre-clinical MRONJ lesions. Furthermore, ARD induced bony changes and radiographic variations between ARD types were seen.PMID:37874081 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230238 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Assessment of CBCT gray value in different regions-of-interest and fields-of-view compared to Hounsfield unit
CONCLUSIONS: The ROI location and the FOV size can significantly affect the GVs obtained from CBCT images. It is not recommended to use the GV scale within the posterior mandibular teeth region due to the potential for error. Additionally, selecting smaller FOV sizes, such as 8 × 8 cm, can provide GVs closer to the gold-standard numbers.PMID:37874074 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230187 (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)

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)

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)
