Retrospective analysis of tooth extraction and osteoradionecrosis after low-dose rate brachytherapy for patients with tongue cancer
ConclusionsMandibular tooth extraction should be avoided on the side of LDR-BT in combined EBRT cases. However, tooth extraction is feasible using a spacer in LDR-BT and/or chemotherapy. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Five-year change of panoramic radiomorphometric indices and fractal dimension values in type 2 diabetes patients
ConclusionAccording to panoramic radiography, the mandibular trabecular structure deteriorated after 5  years, whereas cortical values remained the same. It concluded that T2DM had no effect on these results. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Monte Carlo simulations of organ and effective doses and dose –length product for dental cone-beam CT
ConclusionsOrgan and effective doses for each protocol of dental CBCT could be estimated using MCS. There was a positive correlation between the effective dose and DLP, suggesting that DLP can be used to estimate the effective dose of CBCT. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Furcation area and root proximity of molars as a risk indicator of periodontitis: a cone ‑beam computed tomography-based study
ConclusionsThe results indicate that the association between FA and the degree of bone resorption and root proximity of maxillary molars might be considered as a risk indicator for bone resorption in molars and might play a role during disease progression. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Assessment of palatal mucosal thickness and location of the greater palatine foramen using cone-beam computed tomography: a retrospective study
ConclusionsAccording to our results, first and second premolar regions can be preferable in soft tissue grafting procedures for safe and successful treatment outcomes. The measurement of the thickness of the palatal mucosa and the evaluation of the greater palatine foramen location before the surgical procedures are essential steps to harvest from the ideal donor site and to achieve optimal surgical outcomes.

Evaluation of the effect of sickle cell disease on the mandibular bone of children and adolescents by image texture and radiomorphometric analysis
ConclusionThe results of this study showed that SCD affects the mandible. FA, MCW and PMI parameters can be used to detect early osteoporotic changes in the disease. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Maxillary sinuses, multiple aspects to consider prior to bone grafting procedure: a retrospective study in a sample of a Palestinian population
ConclusionAge, gender, and the side of the face investigated showed no discernible effects on the maxillary sinus ’s bone thickness, vertical dimensions, or PSAA diameter among the studied Palestinian sample. As CCV was superior to CP in the identification of PSSA, preoperative evaluation of PSSA using CBCT volumes is thus recommended. (Source: Oral Radiology)
