Background and Aim: To compare the radiographic distance from the inferior part of mandibular second and third molars to the superior border of mandibular canal on radiographs obtained by conventional periapical radiographs, intraoral photostimulable phosphor plate (Intraoral PSP) and panoramic photostimulable phosphor plate (Panoramic PSP). Subjects and Methods: The study was carried out on 25...

Osteoporosis is a common metabolic disease characterized by low bone mass density. It affects both trabecular and cortical bone. Bone density is an important determinant which plays a vital role in the success of dental implant and denture treatment. A study to determine correlation between mandible trabecullar bone texture parameter with bone mass density value has been done. Samples of this s...

The Purpose of current study is that Osteoporosis is a systemic disorder characterized by low bone mass leading to fractures reported commonly in females after menopause. The investigations for osteoporosis most commonly used DEXA are very costly and not easily available. Few studies have proposed the use of orthopantomogram as a diagnostic marker for osteoporosis as it is simple, quick, easy, ...

After over one decade development, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been widely accepted for clinical application in almost every field of dentistry. Meanwhile, the radiation dose of CBCT to patient has also caused broad concern. According to the literature, the effective radiation doses of CBCTs in nowadays market fall into a considerably wide range that is from 19 µSv to 1073 µSv and ...

PURPOSE This retrospective study compares the amount of bone resorption around implants between an autogenous tooth bone graft (AutoBT) and a synthetic bone graft after a bone-added crestally approached sinus lift with simultaneous implant placements. METHODS In all, 37 patients participated in this study. Seventeen patients were grouped as group I and underwent an AutoBT-added sinus lift usi...

AIM The overall aim of this pilot study was to establish the role of dental practitioners in identifying patients at risk of osteoporosis from panoramic radiographs. METHODS The pilot study evaluated 32 randomly selected postmenopausal women with no known secondary cause of bone loss. A panoramic radiograph of each patient was taken and qualitative and quantitative radiomorphometric indices w...

Osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis (OS-CS) is characterized by linear bone dysplasia at the long bone radiographically and sclerotic change at the cranium. The purpose of this case report is to study the symptoms and treatments of osteomyelitis in a patient with OS-CS. A 41-year-old patient had pus discharge from a fistula at the mental region and increase in radiolucencies with sequest...

OBJECTIVES To determine the correlation between skeletal and dental maturity using cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) index (CVMI) Demirjian (DI) in orthodontic patients. METHODOLOGY Panoramic lateral cephalogram radiographs of 105 patients pretreatment records were retrieved. Tooth calcification stages for mandibular left molar recorded Index on panoramic radiograph. The evaluated a through C...

Introduction: Dental segmentation in panoramic radiograph has become very relevant dentistry, since it allows health professionals to carry out their assessments more clearly and helps them define the best possible treatment plan for patients. Objectives: In this work, a comparative study is carried with four algorithms (U-Net, DCU-Net, DoubleU-Net Nano-Net) that are prominent medical literatur...

a 7.5 year-old girl was seeking orthodontic treatment because of severe ectopic eruption of maxillary first permanent molars. it was a rare case that represented approximately horizontal view in panoramic radiograph. the severity of problem was high, but since the patient had maxillary deficiency, it was important to perform the treatment without extraction. treatment began with extraction of u...
