Case Report: Osteochondroma of the mandible
Osteochondroma is an osseous protuberance with cartilaginous growth potential that usually forms at the ends of long bones such as knee, hip, shoulder and joints(1). Osteochondromas are one of the most common benign tumours of bone, approximately 35% to 50% of all benign tumors and 8% to 15% of all primary bone tumors (2). Only about 1% of these occur within the head and neck region (1). The mo...

متن کاملArtifact reduction techniques in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging modality
Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and became more common based on its low cost, fast image procedure rate and low radiation dose compared to CT. This imaging modality improved diagnostic and treatment-planning procedures by providing three-dimensional information with greatly reduced level of radiation dose compared to 2D dental imaging modalitie...
