Peculiarities in the panoramic radiograph of patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to terminal renal disease: a radiologic controlled comparative study
ConclusionsPatients with SHPT due to CKD show statistically significant bone changes in the panoramic radiograph, whereby the grade of trabecular bone change correlates to PTH values. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Evaluation of alveolar antral anastomosis in south Indian population using cone beam computed tomography: a prospective study
ConclusionThe present study concludes that the first premolar region is safe for preparing the lateral window but for the second premolar and first molar additional care should be taken prior to surgery. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Evaluation of chronic renal failure with cone beam computed tomography radiomorphometric indices and fractal analysis in the mandible
ConclusionsCRF is a prevalent cause of radiographic abnormalities in jawbones. The FD values in trabecular bone decreased in study group, although there were no significant differences in the radiomorphometric indices. FA in CBCT images could be useful for a three-dimensional evaluation of trabecular bone structure. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Evaluation of mandibular bone density in bruxers: the value of panoramic radiographs
ConclusionsThis study obtained radiological determinants of bruxism from panoramic radiographs. Further studies are needed to supplement this preliminary approach, especially via the analysis of three-dimensional imaging to overcome the limitations of panoramic radiography. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Magnetic resonance imaging for preoperative diagnosis in third molar surgery: a systematic review
AbstractIn recent years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has made great strides through various technical improvements and new sequences, which have made it one of the most promising and leading imaging techniques in the head and neck region. As modern imaging techniques in dentistry aim to reduce radiation exposure, this systematic review evaluated the possibilities, advantages, and disadvantages of advanced imaging diagnostics using dental MRI and its evidence for clinical indications and limitations relevant to mandibular third molar (MTM) surgery. Two reviewers performed multiple database searches (PubMed MEDLINE, EMB...

Prevalence of apical periodontitis in endodontically-treated maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth in a Saudi Arabian population: a cone-beam computed tomography study
ConclusionIn this study, the prevalence of AP had a significant association between gender with a predilection in males and location with a tendency to occur on the mandibular right side as observed in endodontically treated maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth using CBCT.

Evaluating trabecular microstructure of mandible and axis in osteoporosis, diabetes and chronic kidney disease using cone beam computed tomography
ConclusionSystemic diseases affect bone tissue at different levels, and to evaluate these effects, cortical and trabecular bone parts must be investigated separately, and findings must be combined with patients' clinical symptoms. CBCT is suitable for microstructural evaluation of trabecular bone and the mandible carries valuable data for this purpose. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Ultrasound procedure for the diagnosis of mass lesions in the oral region
ConclusionsIn US examination for mass lesions in the oral region, it was possible to diagnose tumorous lesions and exclude cysts when vascularity was observed. When vascularity was not observed, however, tumorous lesions and cysts could be identified using two evaluation points: echo intensity level and boundary. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Risk assessment of external apical root resorption associated with orthodontic treatment using computed tomography texture analysis
ConclusionsCT texture analysis was able to quantitatively assess maxillary central incisor roots and distinguish between maxillary central incisor roots with and without EARR. CT texture analysis may be a useful method for predicting EARR after orthodontic treatment. (Source: Oral Radiology)

The effects of vitamin D deficiency on mandibular bone structure: a retrospective radiological study
ConclusionVitamin D deficiency causes a decrease in bone mineral density in the mandible, and an increase in alveolar porosity. FD analysis and radiomorphometric indices in panoramic radiographs can be used to assess osteoporotic changes in patients with vitamin D deficiency. (Source: Oral Radiology)
