BACKGROUND Panoramic radiographs are increasingly considered as a screening tool in the search for osteopaenia and osteoporosis. No information on normal ranges of radiographic parameters of the inferior cortex (IC) in Polish population has been found in literature; therefore, the objective of the study was to determine normal ranges of mandibular inferior cortex width on panoramic radiographs ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this cross-sectional analytic study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of panoramic-based indices of the mandible (Mental Index-MI, Mandibular Cortical Index-MCI and Panoramic Mandibular Index-PMI) and to determine their correlation with bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae (L2-L4) in order to assess the possibility of using these paramet...

This study investigated the delivery of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)4-secreting muscle-derived stem cells (MDSC-B4) capable of inducing bone formation in mice using collagen gel (CG), fibrin sealant (FS), and gelatin sponge carriers. After implanting these various cell-loaded scaffolds intramuscularly or into critical-size skull defects, we measured the extent of heterotopic ossification an...

Objectives: The chronic systemic inflammatory process of HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection in children leads B cell activity to accelerate the osteoclastogenesis process, which results bone alterations. Long-term usage highly active antiretroviral medication decreased quality patients (HAART). Digital panoramic images are useful for radiomorphometric analysis mandibular macrostructure...
