Diagnostic charting of panoramic radiography using deep-learning artificial intelligence system
ConclusionThe proposed AI model has promising results at detecting dental conditions in panoramic radiographs, except for caries and dental calculus. Thanks to the improvement of AI models in all areas of dental radiology, we predict that they will help physicians in panoramic diagnosis and treatment planning, as well as digital-based student education, especially during the pandemic period.

Zygomaticocoronoid ankylosis with possible myositis ossificans: a very rare case
AbstractAnkylosis forming between the zygomatic arch and the coronoid process is a rarely encountered pathological extracapsular ankylosis. Its treatment protocol consists of surgical removal of the coronoid process with the ankylotic mass and jaw opening-closing exercises after surgery. Myositis ossificans (MO) is a self-limiting, benign ossifying lesion. It affects all types of soft tissues including subcutaneous adipose tissue, muscles, tendons and nerves. It is most frequently found in the muscle as a solitary lesion. The clinical appearance of MO is generally in the form of a mass characterized with an ossified soft t...

Radiographic diagnosis of proximal caries is not affected by exposure protocols and presence of high-density material on systems with automatic exposure compensation
ConclusionsThe presence of high-density material, exposure time and kilovoltage did not affect the caries diagnosis in any of the systems tested. It is recommended to use protocols with lower doses to reduce the patient's exposure. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Quantitative assessment of the mandibular bone marrow of diabetes mellitus patients using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging
ConclusionThe ADC values allowed the quantitative evaluation of the mandibular bone marrow of DM patients. DWI might serve as a new and noninvasive method to assess the presence of DM. (Source: Oral Radiology)

The influence of facial types on the morphology and location of the greater palatine foramen: a CBCT study
ConclusionsThe GPF was more distant from the PAR in the dolichofacial-type group. The location of the GPF in relation to the molars varied according to the facial type. However, the morphology of the GPF was similar in the three facial types, and the elongated in the anteroposterior direction morphology was more frequent. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Detection of posterior superior alveolar artery using multi-detector row CT: a retrospective study focused on age-related changes
ConclusionsThe detection ratio for the PSAA using MDCT increased with increasing age of the subject, reaching a high detection ratio of 94% in adults. This study has shown that MDCT is a very useful tool to observe the PSAA. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Evaluation of a metal artifact reduction algorithm and an adaptive image noise optimization filter in the estimation of peri-implant fenestration defects using cone beam computed tomography: an in-vitro study
ConclusionBoth MAR module and AINO filters enhance the accuracy of the detection of peri-implant fenestrations; however, the use of MAR filter solely can be recommended for detection of peri-implant fenestrations. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in a patient with multiple myeloma: an unusual case with tumor in the surgical specimen
We report MRONJ in a patient with multiple myeloma, especially an unusual case with tumor in the surgical specimen. A 73-year-old woman presented with pain on the left side of the mandible within 3 months. On clinical examination, an exposed bone without purulent drainage presented on the left side of the mandible. Before 2 years, she received chemotherapy of zoledronate for multiple myeloma at another hospital. Panoramic imaging showed radiopacities of bone in the left side of the mandibul ar molar area. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) with axial, multiplanar reformation (MPR) and three-dimensional (3D) images...

A technical report on the hamular technique for radiographing maxillary anterior teeth using a digital sensor
ConclusionPreliminary results showed that while the HT images were magnified, lighter, and less sharp that the VAT, they were diagnosable for caries. In all the HT images presented in this technical report, there was less distortion than comparable techniques. Notably, one HT periapical radiograph of a maxillary lateral implant showed virtually no distortion, suggesting that a nearly parallel projection was achieved using the technique. While further research is needed, this report shows that the HT has the potential to produce minimally distorted digital radiographs of anterior teeth in patients where the sensor cannot ad...

Quantitative assessment of the maxillary sinusitis using computed tomography texture analysis: odontogenic vs non-odontogenic etiology
ConclusionsCT texture analysis revealed the quantitative differences between OMS and NOMS. The texture features can serve as a quantitative indicator of maxillary sinusitis to differentiate between OMS and NOMS and help prevent incorrect treatment choices. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Clinical and radiological evaluation of dentomaxillofacial involvement in Type I Gaucher disease
ConclusionsThe roadmap for the diagnosis of Gaucher lesions in the jawbones includes a comprehensive medical history and a clinical and radiological examination. In conclusion, dentists should be familiar with the dentomaxillofacial findings of GD and be aware of possible oral and dental complications that may develop. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Stiffness of tongue squamous cell carcinoma measured using strain elastography correlates with the amount of collagen fibers in the tumor
ConclusionThe strain ratio of the cancer to the strain of the tongue muscle measured through ultrasound strain elastography positively correlates with the collagen fiber content of the tumor area. (Source: Oral Radiology)
