The authors report a case that is started with a simple upper third molar's surgical extraction and a broken 3.0 suture needle tip incident occurred. Broken fragment's localization has been detected with 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Needle tip has been reached with the help of CBCT vision. CBCT's benefits have been discussed on these types of cases and further migration of the needl...

OBJECTIVES To systematize the clinico-radiological symptoms and course of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaw bone and toevaluate the diagnostic potential of various radiological techniques to detect mild osteonecrosis in each stage of the disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sample consisted of 22 patients previously diagnosed with extraoral malignant disease. Diagnosis was based on a c...

BACKGROUND Current technological advances have allowed application of different study designs and techniques for investigation of dental anatomy. Some clinical studies have provided evidence that Cone Beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning is an important resource in assessment of root canal systems notably to identify MB2 canals in maxillary molars as CBCT scans allow in vivo dental investig...

Aim: To find out the relationship of gingival biotype with schneiderian membrane thickness using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in patients at tertiary care dental hospital presenting for routine periodontal care. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total 150 were observed department Periodontology, Fatima Memorial Hospital College Medicine and Dentistry Lahore. Patients clinically ...

A 30-year-old male patient, RVD-reactive on treatment, presented with a fast-growing, painful swelling involving the mandible of unknown duration. panoramic radiograph (PR) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging were performed. What are pertinent radiological features your diagnostic hypothesis?

Precise targeting of the tumor is very important and imaging can be immensely helpful in this process. Hence the quality assurance of the imaging systems used to guide the beam is also essential. One could argue that it is as critical as quality assurance for the radiation dose output, since the right amount of radiation dose delivered to the wrong location can be as detrimental as delivering t...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of enamel pearls according to population, sex and tooth groups on Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) or Dental Volumetric Tomography (DVT) scans of patients, retrospectively. STUDY DESIGN In this study, 15185 teeth belonging to 768 patients, 430 female and 338 male, was performed cross-sectional examination by CBCT. The volumetri...

Imaging plays a role in the anatomic assessment of the airway and adjacent structures. This article discusses the use of 3-dimensional (3D) imaging (cone beam computed tomography [CBCT]) to evaluate the airway and selected regional anatomic variables that may contribute to obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB) in patients. CBCT technology uses a cone-shaped x-ray beam with a special ima...
