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)

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)
