AIM Radiopacity is a fundamental requisite to check marginal adaptation of restorations. Our objective was to assess the radiopacity of 28 brands of light-cured composite resins and compare their radiopacity with that of enamel, dentin, and aluminum of equivalent thickness. MATERIALS AND METHODS Composite resin disks (0.2, 0.5, and 1 mm) were radiographed by the digital method, together with ...

Osteochondroma is the most common benign neoplasm of the skeleton commonly affecting the long bones due to endochondral growth. In the craniofacial region this tumour is very rare. The sites of predilection are the coronoid process and the mandibular condyle. Here, we report an exceptional case of osteochondroma originating from the maxillary posterior region in a 26-year-old male patient, mimi...

ANGIOCARDIOGRAPHY and cineangiocardiography are employed with increasing frequency for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. These commonplace technics of cardiovascular radiology depend upon the rapid injection of radiopaque materials into the heart or central circulation. A wide variety of substances are in use, but all are hypertonic and some are considerably more viscous than blood. A v...

This integrative review aimed to discuss the clinical features and imaging aspects of squamous cell carcinoma in gnathic bones on panoramic radiographs cone-beam computed tomography. The electronic search was conducted PubMed, Embase, Scopus using keywords tomography, radiography, dentomaxillofacial complex, oral carcinoma. Studies between 2012 2022, report radiography tomography were selected....

Understanding the intra-tumoral distribution of chemotherapeutic drugs is extremely important in predicting therapeutic outcome. Tissue mimicking gel phantoms are useful for studying drug vitro but quantifying laborious due to need section over relevant time course and individually quantify elution. In this study we compare a bespoke version traditional phantom sectioning approach, with novel c...

In a previous paper (Snow et al., 1955) the pathological findings in the hearts of twenty-five patients with coronary disease were described. In the present paper these findings, together with those in an additional seven patients, are correlated with the clinical features. Material. Thirty-two patients were studied, all with clinical evidence of ischaemic heart disease. Those in whom hypertens...
