Examination of oral hemangiomas by intraoral ultrasonography
ConclusionsIn our study, the examination of the oral hemangiomas with the intraoral probe and the color Doppler mode was very helpful in the differential diagnosis. Although histopathology has an important place in definitive diagnosis, particularly intraoral USG can provide sufficient information for the diagnosis of oral hemangiomas. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Actual applications of magnetic resonance imaging in dentomaxillofacial region
AbstractMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a versatile imaging modality utilized in various medical fields. Specifically used for evaluation of soft tissues, with non-ionizing radiation and multiplanar sections that has provided great guidance to diagnosis. Nowadays, use of MRI in dental practice is becoming more pervasive, especially for the evaluation of head-and-neck cancer, detection of salivary gland lesions, lymphadenopathy, and temporomandibular joint disorders. Understanding the basic principles, its recent advances, and multiple applications in dentomaxillofacial region helps significantly in the diagnostic decis...

Clinical guidelines for the application of panoramic radiographs in screening for osteoporosis
AbstractOsteoporotic fractures are associated with an increased risk of subsequent fractures, a higher rate of mortality, and incremental medical costs. Incidental findings, which include some measurements related to the mandibular inferior cortex and the alveolar trabecular bone pattern of the mandible determined on panoramic radiographs, are considered to be a useful tool for identifying asymptomatic individuals at risk of having osteoporosis and/or fragility fractures. We undertook a worldwide literature survey and present the following clinical recommendations. Postmenopausal female dental patients with a mandibular in...

Systematic review and meta-analysis of lingual foramina anatomy and surgical-related aspects on cone-beam computed tomography: a PROSPERO-registered study
ConclusionIn summary, this systematic review found that LF is an anatomical structure with a high prevalence among the included studies (greater than 90%), regardless of the population evaluated. The occurrence of at least one LF was the most common pattern. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Medial clavicle fracture with bone destruction after radical neck dissection combined with postoperative chemotherapy for secondary cervical lymph node metastasis of tongue cancer: a case report
ConclusionCF is a rare complication following treatment for head and neck cancer but can be caused by neck dissection. Regular imaging examinations, including the clavicular region, are therefore needed before and after surgery to ensure the timely detection of CF. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Evaluation of maxillary sinus volume in different craniofacial patterns: a CBCT study
ConclusionMaxillary sinus volume is significantly larger in skeletal class II than in skeletal class III group and in males than in females (P < 0.05). These inferences have several implications in orthodontics, endodontics and oral surgery. (Source: Oral Radiology)

18 F-NaF uptake in dentomaxillofacial bones as a result of oral alterations: a positron emission tomography/computerized tomography scanning study
Conclusion18F-NaF uptake in the maxilla or mandible could be influenced by oral alterations in the alveolar bones. The alterations in the oral cavity that lead to18F-NaF accumulation should be recognized by medical radiologists to prevent false-positive results in PET/CT examinations using the tracer18F-NaF.
