Deep learning-based automatic segmentation of the mandibular canal on panoramic radiographs: A multi-device study
CONCLUSION: This multi-device study indicated that the examined CNN-based deep learning approach can achieve excellent canal segmentation performance, with a DSC exceeding 88%. Furthermore, the study highlighted the importance of considering the characteristics of panoramic radiographs when developing a robust deep-learning network, rather than depending solely on the size of the dataset.PMID:38571772 | PMC:PMC10985527 | DOI:10.5624/isd.20230245 (Source: Imaging Science in Dentistry)

Potential impact of metal crowns at varying distances from a carious lesion on its detection on cone-beam computed tomography scans with several protocols
CONCLUSION: CBCT-based caries detection was not influenced by the presence of a metal crown, variations in milliamperage, or MAR activation. However, the diagnostic accuracy was low and was further diminished for surfaces near a crown. Consequently, CBCT is not recommended for the detection of incipient caries lesions.PMID:38571773 | PMC:PMC10985521 | DOI:10.5624/isd.20230202 (Source: Imaging Science in Dentistry)

Multislice computed tomography demonstrating mental nerve paresthesia caused by periapical infection: A case report
This report describes the case of a 55-year-old woman who experienced mental nerve paresthesia due to a periapical infection of the right mandibular second premolar. MSCT imaging revealed increased attenuation around the periapical lesion extending into the mandibular canal and loss of the juxtamental foraminal fat pad. Following endodontic treatment of the tooth suspected to be the source of the infection, the patient's symptoms resolved, and the previous MSCT imaging findings were no longer present. Increased bone marrow attenuation and obliteration of the fat plane in the buccal aspect of the mental foramen may serve as...

Eustachian tube calcification as an unusual finding on a panoramic radiograph
Imaging Sci Dent. 2024 Mar;54(1):105-107. doi: 10.5624/isd.20230212. Epub 2024 Jan 4.ABSTRACTThe author herein presents an unusual case of eustachian tube calcification masquerading as loose radiopacities in the temporomandibular joints on a panoramic image, creating a diagnostic challenge. The patient, a 72-year-old woman, presented to the dental service for implant treatment to improve her masticatory function. A cone-beam computed tomography scan was performed and reviewed by a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist. The scan showed no evidence of calcifications in the temporomandibular joints; however, it r...

Pediatric mandibular chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis: A case report with 12 years of radiologic follow-up
Imaging Sci Dent. 2024 Mar;54(1):93-104. doi: 10.5624/isd.20230189. Epub 2024 Feb 6.ABSTRACTChronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is histologically characterized by nonspecific osteitis. This inflammatory disorder, which lacks an infectious origin, typically presents with chronic pain and swelling at the affected site that can persist for months or even years. However, it is rare for CNO to affect the mandible. A 10-year-old girl presented with a primary complaint of pain in her left mandible. She had no significant medical or dental history. On examination, swelling was visible on the left buccal side, and imaging reve...

Impact of dental imaging on pregnant women and recommendations for fetal radiation safety: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: Few dental radiology studies have been conducted to determine the safe radiation threshold for pregnant women. Additionally, the reviewed articles did not provide numbers of dental examinations, by type, corresponding to this dose. Dental imaging examinations of pregnant women should not be restricted if clinically indicated. Ultimately, practitioners must be able to justify the examination and should adhere to the "as low as diagnostically acceptable, being indication-oriented and patient-specific" (ALADAIP) principle of radioprotection.PMID:38571778 | PMC:PMC10985525 | DOI:10.5624/isd.20230177 (Source: Imagin...

Optimization of forensic identification through 3-dimensional imaging analysis of labial tooth surface using open-source software
CONCLUSION: The exceptional performance observed for the labial surfaces of anterior teeth underscores their potential as a dependable criterion for accurate 3D dental identification. This was achieved by assessing a minimum of 4 teeth.PMID:38571779 | PMC:PMC10985530 | DOI:10.5624/isd.20230218 (Source: Imaging Science in Dentistry)

Differences in the panoramic appearance of cleft alveolus patients with or without a cleft palate
CONCLUSION: Two differences were identified in panoramic appearances. The first was the disappearance (invisible appearance) of the upper line in patients with a cleft palate, and the second was a change in the medial inclination on the affected side maxillary lateral incisor in unilateral cleft alveolus patients with a cleft palate.PMID:38571781 | PMC:PMC10985517 | DOI:10.5624/isd.20230159 (Source: Imaging Science in Dentistry)

Utility of intraoral scanner imaging for dental plaque detection
CONCLUSION: When employing IOS with dental plaque staining, the impact of color was minimal, suggesting that the traditional red stain remains suitable for plaque detection. IOS images appeared relatively blurred and enlarged relative to the true state of the teeth, due to inferior sharpness compared to camera images.PMID:38571782 | PMC:PMC10985524 | DOI:10.5624/isd.20230180 (Source: Imaging Science in Dentistry)

Age-stratified analysis of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis using cone-beam computed tomography
CONCLUSION: Increasing age was associated with a higher frequency and greater diversity of bony changes in the temporal bone, as well as a protruded condyle position in the glenoid fossa, resulting in noticeable joint space narrowing in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis.PMID:38571783 | PMC:PMC10985520 | DOI:10.5624/isd.20230229 (Source: Imaging Science in Dentistry)

A panoramic radiograph showed bilateral ossification of the stylohyoid ligament with an oval radiopacity on the right side. Cone-beam computed tomography revealed a well-defined, homogenous hyperdense entity from the lower third of the ossified stylohyoid ligament on the right side. The differential diagnosis of osteoma on the stylohyoid chain includes Eagle syndrome and benign tumors of the stylohyoid chain and adjacent structures. Osteoma rarely ma...
