Radiography of the maxillary sinuses is often undertaken using computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or the occipito-mental plain x-ray film projection. However the panoramic radiograph has been found superior to the latter for detection of “cyst-like densities.” [1]. The occipito-mental technique, first described by Waters and Waldron, clearly demonstrates the superior, inferior and...

BACKGROUND Dermoid cysts are rare congenital lesions derived from pluripotential cells. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a female patient aged 30 years presenting for a lesion of the mandibula incidentally seen on a routine panoramic radiograph obtained for dental care. The instrumental, clinical and histological characteristics of the lesion are reported. Finally, a bibliographic revis...

Autogenous bone is still considered the gold standard in augmentation for implant insertion atrophic ridges. However, of multiple edentulous segments usually necessitates use extraoral donor sites. This chapter introduces Wedge Technique, as a new method that can augment ridges with intraoral cortical grafts. Patients moderate to severe ridge atrophy different regions jaws were treated wedge te...

Abstract Background DEXA scan could be unavailable at some health centers, and radiologic examination of the mandible oral cavity is considered more commonly used test that can predict, diagnose, or even follow-up on any defect in bone mineralization. The aim this study was to elucidate ability panoramic radiograph detect osteoporosis rheumatoid arthritis patients correlate mandibular index wit...

The mandible is the largest and strongest part of craniofacial bone face. movable facial bone. has two main structures, body ramus mandible. These structures meet form an angle called gonial angle. will change with age because undergo remodeling so that it can cause changes in shape Changes occur be evaluated by means a panoramic radiograph. growth development which mandibular influenced severa...
