A rare case of unilateral double Stafne bone defects and literature review
AbstractStafne bone defect (SBD) is a rare developmental bone defect characterized by an asymptomatic focal concavity of the cortical bone, typically on the lingual aspect of the mandibular body, which generally contains salivary gland tissue. It can be detected during routine dental examinations and typically appears as an ovoid, well-defined, well-corticated, radiolucent depression in the posterior mandibular region below the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) (in: Neville et al, Oral and maxillofacial pathology, Elsevier, Inc, St. Louis, MO, 2016).An 80-year-old male presented to our clinic for a routine dental examination. ...

Comparison of mandibular morphometric parameters in digital panoramic radiography in gender determination using machine learning
ConclusionMachine learning techniques can accurately determine gender by analyzing mandibular morphometric structures from digital panoramic radiographs. The most precise results are achieved by evaluating the structures in combination, using attributes obtained from applying the MRMR algorithm to all features. (Source: Oral Radiology)

The relation between persistent foramen tympanicum and degenerative bone alterations in temporomandibular joint region
ConclusionSince individuals who have FTP have a greater chance of having TMJ and PEA changes, it is important for the dental radiologist to be aware of these signs in CBCT scans for a correct diagnosis.Trial registration numberCAAE: 34328214.3.0000.0104 (11/30/2014). (Source: Oral Radiology)

Ultrasound-guided arthrocentesis for condylar head fracture: a technical report
ConclusionsHence, for the preservative treatment of mandibular condylar head fractures, based on the present study, we recommend US-guided arthrocentesis as a safe, feasible, and effective therapeutic option instead of the conventional “blind” method. (Source: Oral Radiology)

A case of radicular cyst on deciduous tooth in a 7-year-old child
We report a case of radicular cyst of mandible in child by multimodal imaging including panoramic radiography, CT, and MR imaging. A 7-year-old girl presented with swelling and without pain, and hypoesthesia on the right side of the mandible. On clinical examination, an expansive lesion with undulation was found to the buccal cortex of the right side of the mandible. Panoramic radiograph showed a unilocular radiolucency with well-defined margin, displaced tooth, and root resorption in the right mandible. Regarding CT imaging, axial soft tissue algorithm CT and bone tissue algorithm CT showed a low-attenuation internal stru...

A case of odontogenic keratocyst in the buccal space: characterization by multimodality imaging including computed tomography, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography
In this report, we describe characteristic multimodality imaging of OKC in the buccal space, especially diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping, extra-oral and intra-oral ultrasonography. On clinical examination, an approximately 20 mm in diameter mass with elastic hardness was found the left side of the buccal area. Contrast-enhanced CT showed areas of internal non-contrast lesions in the left buccal space. On T1-weighted image, the mass showed multilocular high signal intensity, and homogeneous internal. T2-weighted images revealed high signal at the marginal part and sligh...

Temporomandibular joint degenerative changes following mandibular fracture: a computed tomography-based study on the role of condylar involvement
ConclusionsIpsilateral non-head condylar fractures and contralateral condylar fractures are associated with a high risk of postfracture TMJ degeneration. Indirect trauma plays a vital role in postfracture TMJ degeneration. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Comparison of periapical radiography, panoramic radiography, and CBCT in the evaluation of trabecular bone structure using fractal analysis
ConclusionAccording to our results, in the evaluation of trabecular bone structure using FA, periapical radiographs and panoramic radiographs have similar image quality for assessment of the FD. On the other hand, CBCT results did not correlate with results from any of the other techniques in this study. (Source: Oral Radiology)
