Unusual radiographic images of radiopaque contrast media incidentally observed in the intracranial region: two case reports
In this report, incidental radiopaque images in panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) were presented in two patients whose myelography was taken before herniated discs’ operation. Unusual incidental radiopacities in intracranial region were observed on panoramic radiography image of a male and CBCT image of a female, both of whom underwent myelography more than 30 years ago. Dentomaxillofacial radiologists should be aware of this radiographic appearance, should be able to differentiate it from possible pathologies.

Evaluation of salivary tumour necrosis factor –alpha in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis
Conclusion:Present study suggests that saliva is a convenient and ideal medium for the detection of TNF- α.  Statistically significant difference in the level of salivary TNF- α between the RAS and TUs subjects as well as controls suggests the significant contribution of TNF- α in pathogenesis of RAS. Thus, future management of RAS should be directed towards search of newer treatments for this dise ase for better outcome.  (Source: Journal of Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry)
