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)

Orofacial symptoms suggestive of malignant lesions and the role of imaging: literature review and case presentation
This article aimed to review these orofacial symptoms and related diseases and describe representative cases of these diseases to obtain a definitive diagnosis via imaging. Panoramic radiograph is widely used in general dentistry, and this article reaffirmed the importance of panoramic radio graph anatomical landmarks in diagnosing the cases presented in this paper.

Prevalence of bifid variations of the mandibular canal in an Iranian population using cone-beam computed tomography
ConclusionAccording to the present results, bifid MC was not uncommon in the Iranian population of the present study, and forward type was the most common, followed by buccal and then dental bifid MCs. There was no significant correlation between sex and age with bifid MC but bifid MC was detected more frequently in females than males, and it was seen unilaterally in a higher percentage of the cases.

The mandibular bone structure in children by fractal dimension and its correlation with pixel intensity values: a pilot study
ConclusionThe bone trabeculate pattern in 6 –9-year-old children presented FD between 1.01 and 1.29. Besides that, there was no significant correlation between FD and PI. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Comparison of accuracy cone-beam computed tomography and digital bitewing radiography for detection of recurrent caries under various restorative materials: in vitro study
ConclusionCBCT showed higher accuracy and specificity on the detection of recurrent caries which was more accurate than bitewing radiography. The HIRes CBCT scan mode achieved the highest accuracy and performed the best in recurrent caries detection. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Evaluation of the influence of hyoid bone position, volume, and types on pharyngeal airway volume and cephalometric measurements
ConclusionThe volume of the HB is found to differ significantly between genders and can potentially serve as a valuable diagnostic tool for understanding respiratory disorders. Its morphometric features are associated with increased face height and airway volume; however, are not related with the skeletal malocclusion classes. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Enlarged occipital spur and craniofacial morphology: a cephalometric analysis
ConclusionsMales exhibit greater spur length than females. Patients under 18 had a shorter spur length than adults. Linear craniofacial measurements were found to be greater in subjects with EOS than the individuals with OS. The craniofacial growth and development of an individual might be associated with EOS. The causal relationship between EOS and craniofacial development requires further longitudinal studies. (Source: Oral Radiology)
