Methods Selection of three polyarticular JIA cases with TMJ involvement followed in pediatric rheumatology unit. The protocol establishes oral-maxillofacial observation and high-resolution ultrasound at clinical presentation of polyarticular JIA. The need of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, the periodicity of clinical observations and the decision to perform intraarticular corticos...

Radiographic imaging is essential in diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up in endodontics. The applications of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontics has been widely reported in the literature.It provides high-quality, accurate threedimensional (3D) representations of the osseous elements of the maxillofacial skeleton. The purpose of this article is to discuss the features, a...

Ashok Balasundaram: Cone beam Computed Tomography imaging of periodontal bone (Under the direction of Dr. André Mol) Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a low-dose, low-cost three dimensional imaging modality used for several oral and maxillofacial applications. This project evaluated the accuracy of Cone-Beam CT imaging to assess periodontal alveolar bone. In Phase I, ground truth measurem...

Cone Beam (CB) Imaging is used in maxillofacial imaging for various indications. Little is known about the patients influence on achievable image quality. In this paper we present a retrospective study, investigating the image quality of 50 CB datasets by four observers. Different views were offered and observers rated image quality on various anatomical structures in marks from 1 to 5. Scores ...

Abstract Panoramic radiography is an extraoral modality that provides two-dimensional information about the teeth and maxillofacial skeleton. It a valuable adjunct for diagnosis treatment planning as it facilitates one-time imaging of all teeth, mandible, parts maxilla including large part maxillary sinus, hard palate temporomandibular joints (TMJs). As tomographic image prone to errors artefac...
