Awareness and practice of dentomaxillofacial imaging among paediatric dentists: a questionnaire survey of members of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry
ConclusionsThe majority of paediatric dentists within Europe use digital imaging equipment for both intra- and extra-oral radiographs. Nevertheless, great variation in practices exists and, therefore, continuous education in oral imaging is crucial to maintain high quality standards for the radiographic examination of patients.

Evaluation of congruency of condyle convexity and fossa concavity and interrelationship bony components in temporomandibular joint anterior dislocation
ConclusionsThe findings of this study which include lower joint congruency, higher fossa concavity and superior joint space distance in patients with anterior dislocation may be related to the inferior positioning of the condyle away from the fossa and potentially the elongation of the capsular ligament.

Sialography: a pictorial review
AbstractNon-tumour inflammatory and obstructive salivary gland pathologies such as sialadenitis, sialolithiasis, sialadenosis, ductal strictures, etc. require precise radiological evaluation and mapping of salivary gland ductal system for better treatment outcome. Conventional sialography is considered as a useful and reliable technique in evaluation of salivary glands especially intrinsic and acquired abnormalities involving the ductal system and is useful for detection of non-radiopaque sialoliths which are invisible on routine plain radiographs. Primarily sialography is used as a diagnostic tool, additionally it plays a...

A new perspective for radiologic findings of bruxism on dental panoramic radiography
ConclusionAlthough it is known that appositional changes are seen in the mandible angle region in bruxism, MCI can be used as a valuable radiologic diagnostic criterion during the evaluation of bruxist and healthy individuals in the G0 grade who have not yet radiologically demonstrated bone apposition in the mandible angle.
