Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is becoming more widely used in the field of dentomaxillofacial radiography, but its utility for bone quality assessment still limited. This study was conducted to describe use radiomorphometric examination and fractal dimensions (FDs) osteoporosis risk detection through CBCT elderly patients.

Aim Cyst-like lesions in the mandible rarely develop into malignancies, and reported incidence is between 0.3% 2%. The present study describes a rare case of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma arising from an odontogenic cyst. Materials Methods An 80-year-old male was referred to Trieste University Maggiore Hospital (Trieste, Italy), with acute pain left retromolar area. initial exami...

  Objective: Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic disease of the bone decreasing bone mineral density (BMD) particularly in postmenopausal women. On the other hand, panoramic radiography has several applications in dentistry. It appears that by calculating some indices on panoramic radiographs, we may be able to predict the risk of osteoporosis in high-risk individuals. The present study w...

The human mandible is a horseshoe shaped bone, anatomically divided into a body, angle and ramus. It is the only both movable and unpaired facial bone. The mandible defines the profile and appearance of the lower third of the face. Thus it contributes to facial contour, proper occlusion, mastication, airway support, deglutition and speech . Discontinuity of the mandible is caused by trauma, inf...
