The widespread use of dental implants and reconstructive procedures for their positioning has led to an increase in sinonasal complications of dental disease and treatment (SCDDT). Diagnosis requires accurate dental and rhinological evaluation, including computed tomography (CT). The aim of this study is to investigate a multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of SCDDT by combining endosco...

PURPOSE Best practice strategies for helping students learn the reasoning skills of problem solving and critical thinking (CT) remain a source of conjecture, particularly with regard to CT. The dental education literature is fundamentally devoid of research on the cognitive components of clinical decision-making. AIM This study was aimed to develop and evaluate the impact of blended learning ...

With the introduction of conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) in the early 2000s, oral and maxillofacial radiology fully entered the modern world of 3-dimensional (3D) radiographic imaging. Although conventional or medical computed tomography (CT) had been available since the 1970s, with few exceptions, it had not been widely used in dentistry. In the early days of conventional CT, the machines ...

We describe the rare entity of an intraosseous meningioma arising in the mandible. The meningioma was found incidentally in an asymptomatic adult patient on dental radiography, mimicking other cystic-appearing jaw masses. The CT and MR imaging features of mandibular meningioma are reviewed with reference to prior published descriptions of this unusual entity.

Streptococcus gordonii (S. gordonii) is a pioneer oral bacteria that is recognized as an agent of bacterial endocarditis. However, an extensive review of the literature revealed no reported case of S. gordonii causing empyema. We present a case of a 65-year-old male who presented with respiratory distress. Physical examination revealed several dental caries with decreased breath sounds in the b...

Introduction: Nasal septal hematoma (NSH) is a complication of nasal trauma, which its emergency treatment drainage hematoma. Delayed may result in necrosis the cartilage and saddle nose deformity. Case Presentation: Here, we reported 15-year-old girl presented with NSH associated dental local anesthetic injection, led to septum necrosis. Conclusions: Computerized tomography (CT) scanning was p...

Radiography by computed tomography for dental and jaw use (dental CT) has recentry attracted attention as a new diagnostic imaging technique in dentistry. The 3DX Multi-Image Micro CT® (3DX, Morita) is the first exclusively registered dental CT in Japan. A high-definition 3-dimensional image of a cylindrical imaging area, 40 mm in diameter and 30 mm in height, can be taken by using a small-type...

conclusions: detailed information about root fractures may be obtained using cbct. results: according to the fracture types and fracture presence, there was an overall statistically significant agreement between the key and readings. kappa values for intra observer agreement ranged between 0.705 and 0.804 indicating that each observer gave acceptable ratings for the type and presence of fractur...
