Comparing the crown and root metric properties of double-rooted and single-rooted mandibular canine teeth
ConclusionsSince 2-rooted MnCn do not differ significantly from other teeth in terms of crown sizes, it is not possible to differentiate between single- vs. double-rooted MnCn based on clinical examination. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Prognostic factors for lymph node metastasis from upper gingival carcinomas
ConclusionsBucco-lingual width, histopathological grading as well as the tumor ’s location are likely to be important predictors for the occurrence of LN metastasis in upper gingival carcinoma patients and should be considered when managing care for these patients. (Source: Oral Radiology)

Magnetic resonance imaging of methotrexate-related lymphoproliferative disorder with a chief complaint of oral symptoms
ConclusionsWe reported on the imaging characteristics of six rare cases of MTX-LPD in the oral cavity. Homogeneous hyperintensity on fat-suppressed T2-weighted images and low ADC values are possible features of MTX-LPD. Moreover, MTX-LPD can be differentiated from other carcinomas in the oral cavity.

A rare case of two Stafne bone cavities in the ipsilateral mandible with bicortical bone perforation
AbstractStafne bone cavity (SBC) is a bone defect which appears unilaterally round or oval shaped radiolucent area with well-defined border. The most common location of the defect is the mandibular molar area at the lingual side of the mandible, below the mandibular canal. Additionally other rarer variants of SBC, anterior lingual, buccal aspect of ascending ramus, and lingual aspect of ascending ramus are also reported. In this paper, a rare case of posterior and anterior variant of double SBCs with buccal cortical bone perforation was presented. An 83-year-old male patient was referred to our clinic for a routine dental ...

Radiographic characteristics of the maxillomandibular complex in neufibromatosis: short communication and literature review
ConclusionCompleting the combination of skin characteristics present in the patient, anamnesis data and current history of the disease with interpretation of radiographic alterations, it was possible to arrive at the diagnostic hypothesis of Neurofibromatosis type 1 and correct clinical management. Therefore, it is extremely important for the dentist to be aware of the clinical, physical and radiographic characteristics that this condition presents for the correct management and success of dental treatment.

Patient safety incidents in dentomaxillofacial imaging: reported adverse events from Hospital District Helsinki and Uusimaa and the City of Helsinki during 2012 –2017
ConclusionsPSI in DMFR are only rarely reported, and mostly, they are perceived of causing little or no harm. We detected a great difference in reporting activity between primary and secondary healthcare workers, but the underlaying causes remain unclear. (Source: Oral Radiology)
