background and aim: the inferior alveolar canal must be constantly examined as an important anatomical landmark in the study of lower jaw, particularly posterior body and mandibular ramus sites, in dental and surgical procedures. in the present study, the effect of two pathological lesions, ameloblastomas and keratocystic odontogenic tumour, on canal displacement were investigated. materials an...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Maxillofacial trauma frequently involves the bony orbit that surrounds the ocular globe. Concomitant globe injury is a concern whenever orbit trauma occurs and in severe cases can occasionally result in vision loss. The mechanism of injury, physical exam findings, and radiographic imaging can provide useful information concerning the severity of the injury and concerns for...

Traumatized teeth present a clinical challenge with regard to their diagnosis, treatment plan, and prognosis. Recent developments in imaging systems have enabled clinicians to visualize structural changes effectively. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and cone beam computed tomography are among the most commonly used systems for dental and maxillofacial surgery. The purpose of thi...

Deglutition syncope (DS) is a rare, neurally-mediated syncopal syndrome arising from an aberrant vagotonic reflex during swallow-associated esophageal dilation. Its association with gastroesophageal disorders often prompts gastroenterology consultation. An 89-year-old man with recent dysphagia and otalgia was admitted after a syncopal episode occurred while eating. Esophageal imaging and endosc...

Foreign bodies may get embedded in the maxillofacial region as a result of penetrating trauma region. The ensuing complications and sequelae these occult foreign can pose diagnostic challenge to an oral surgeon. Diagnosis be achieved by use plain radiographs, ultrasonography, computed tomographic scans, magnetic resonance imaging. Once diagnosed located, should removed for definitive management...

The widespread use of cone-beam CT (CBCT) in dentistry has led to increasing concern regarding justification and optimisation of CBCT exposures. When used as a substitute to multidetector CT (MDCT), CBCT can lead to significant dose reduction; however, low-dose protocols of current-generation MDCTs show that there is an overlap between CBCT and MDCT doses. More importantly, although the 3D info...

Pyknodysostosis is an autosomal-recessive disorder of osteoclast dysfunction causing osteosclerosis, with associated maxillofacial anomalies. Multidetector CT with multiplanar and 3D reconstruction illustrated the pathologic findings in this case. Abnormalities included multiple retained deciduous teeth, unerupted teeth with associated follicles, an irregularly expanded alveolus and body of the...
