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)

Magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of the disc morphology of temporomandibular joint in patients with severe hemophilia
ConclusionsIn patients with severe hemophilia, there seems to be a pattern of morphological alterations in the articular disc over time. The standard biconcave morphology of AD tends to change into other ones, particularly biplanar, hemiconvex and folded. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Accuracy of non-contact semiconductor X-ray analyzer for quality assurance in intraoral radiography: a comparison with ionization chamber dosimeter
ConclusionThis study indicated the accuracy of a non-contact semiconductor X-ray analyzer for quality assurance in intraoral radiography, especially a comparison with an ionization chamber dosimeter. The semiconductor sensor can be useful for quality assurance in intraoral radiography. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Transfer learning in diagnosis of maxillary sinusitis using panoramic radiography and conventional radiography
ConclusionsThis study performed transfer learning using a small number of Waters ’ images, based on a source model created solely from panoramic radiographs, resulting in a performance improvement to 0.830 in diagnosing maxillary sinusitis, which was equivalent to that of radiologists. Transfer learning is considered a useful method to improve diagnostic performance. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Evaluation of the validity of mental foramen USG measurements by comparison with CBCT and determination of blood flow
ConclusionsConsidering that CBCT images are used as gold standard in our study, it may be said that USG is not as reliable as CBCT in evaluating the MF dimensions in the maxillofacial region. Nevertheless, USG is a suitable technique for determining the visualizing and blood flow of the MF. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Analysis of peri-implant bone defects by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT): an integrative review
The objective of this work was to perform an integrative review of the inspection of peri-implant bone defects using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). An electronic search was performed in the PubMed database using the following scientific terms: CBCT or Cone Beam computed tomography; dental implant; peri-implant; bone loss; defects. The survey identified 267 studies, of which 18 were considered relevant to this study. These studies provided important data taking into account the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography in the detection and measurement of peri-implant bone defects such as fenestrations, dehiscence and...

High prevalence of taurodontism in North China and its relevant factors: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionThis study revealed that taurodontism is widely prevalent in North China. The incidence of taurodontism increases the closer the tooth is to the back end of the dental arch, and quite a few of the maxillary and mandibular third molars teeth have tapered roots. And the taurodontism is decreased by age, as there were more affected female than male patients. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Quantitative analysis of masticatory muscle changes by Eichner index using diffusion-weighted imaging
ConclusionsADC values of masticatory muscles were significantly different in the Eichner index groups. The ADC values of masticatory muscles may be useful for the quantitative evaluation of the masticatory muscles affected by the occlusal state. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Accurate estimation of skeletal muscle mass by comparison of computed tomographic images of the third lumbar and third cervical vertebrae in Japanese patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma
ConclusionsThe estimation of CSA at the L3 from the existing prediction formula with the CSA at the C3 had no systematic biases, but it did have random errors. Random errors resulted from measurement errors and biological variation. Usefulness of the existing formula is limited by physical differences in populations. (Source: Oral Radiology)
