Endovenous bisphosphonate therapy seems associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw. The aim of this study was to evaluate the additional diagnostic value of hybrid SPECT/CT in 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate 3-phase bone scintigraphy of osteonecrosis of the jaw in bisphosphonate-treated patients. Methods: We studied 15 patients (12 women and 3 men) with extraoral tumors affected by lytic bone metas...

In patients who have undergone surgery and radiotherapy for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the posterior oral rehabilitation may prove complex. In addition to the defects produced by surgical ablation of the primary tumor, radiotherapy induces deleterious effects upon the oral tissues. We present the case of a 48-year-old male treated two years before due to OSCC in the retromolar trigone...

Mandibular condyles constitute a major part of the temporomandibular joint. Bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) is rare morphological variant that asymptomatic in most cases and can be diagnosed incidentally on orthopantomogram during routine radiographic examination. But orthopantomography 2-dimensional imaging modality with various structures superimposed over region causing practical difficulty d...
