Evaluation the relationship between the position and impaction level of the impacted maxillary third molar teeth and marginal bone loss, caries and resorption findings of the second molar teeth with CBCT scans
ConclusionThese data on the natural history of impacted maxillary third molars may contribute to both more accurate estimates of the risk of complications associated with these teeth and determination of the prophylactic approach to asymptomatic impacted third molars. (Source: Oral Radiology)

A comparative study on cephalometric differences in maxillofacial morphology between skeletal Class III cases with and without acromegaly: a pilot study
ConclusionsAcromegaly was characterized by a greater degree of bimaxillary prognathism than was non-acromegalic Class III malocclusion. Focusing on labial inclination of the mandibular central incisors would be the most useful way to differentiate acromegaly from non-acromegalic Class III malocclusion. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Morphometric and volumetric evaluation of maxillary sinus in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using cone-beam CT
ConclusionsCBCT is a practical and effective imaging method for the evaluation of maxillary sinuses. It is thought that inflammatory diseases that cause sinonasal changes such as COPD may affect maxillary sinus sizes. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Fractal properties and radiomorphometric indices of the trabecular structure of the mandible in patients using systemic glucocorticoids
ConclusionsFA and radiomorphometric measurements is an efficient method to detect early changes in bone mass. In our study, ROI4 and MCW were significantly lower in study group. Osteoporosis prevention should be considered in patients using systemic GCs. (Source: Oral Radiology)

A case of periosteal fasciitis located in the mandible in a child
AbstractPeriosteal fasciitis (PF), a subtype of nodular fasciitis, is an uncommon benign soft-tissue mass that originates from the periosteum or tissues adjacent to bones. PF has rarely seen in children, especially involving in the mandible. This case report presents a rare case of PF originating from the periosteum of the mandible in an 11-year-old girl. She was referred to our hospital with fast-growing painless swelling in her left mandible. Computed tomography revealed an exophytic juxtacortical mass eroding the lower part of the left mandible and lower mandibular cortex with a periosteal reaction. The mass showed low ...

The bridging and normal dimensions of sella turcica in Yemeni individuals
ConclusionsST bridging was highly prevalent in Yemeni subjects (35.9%). Samples showed a higher rate of complete ST bridging in the three skeletal patterns, Class I (17.1%), Class II (18.9%), and Class III (20%). ST dimensions and shape findings in this study can be used as reference standards for further investigation, including the ST area in the Yemeni population. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Correlation between 18F-FDG PET/CT and diffusion-weighted MRI parameters in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma at baseline and after chemo-radiotherapy. A retrospective single institutional study
ConclusionsThe demonstrated relationships suggest complex interactions especially between metabolic activity and heterogeneity of tumoral tissue, which might play a complementary role in the assessment of head and neck SCC.Trial date of registration and registration numberOur retrospective study was registered on April 9th, 2020 by the Ethics Committee of the Coordinating Center “Area Vasta Nord Ovest” (CEAVNO) with Registration Number CEAVNO09042020.

Identification of various orthodontic materials as foreign bodies via panoramic radiography, cone beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography: an in vitro study
ConclusionsPanoramic radiography does not reveal nonmetallic orthodontic equipment in air and reveals them only poorly in muscle. CBCT was the optimal imaging modality for all materials in all fields except for the Invisalign in muscle and bone. CBCT was the only method that revealed the Invisalign in air. MRI and ultrasonography should be used to detect orthodontic materials in muscle. (Source: Oral Radiology)
