The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign, nonneoplastic (hamartomatous) lesion with a slow progressing growth. It occurs in both intraosseous and peripheral forms. This paper reports the case of a female aged 16 years who presented with a swelling in anterior maxilla; canine was missing, and a supernumerary tooth was present in the mid line. Radiology revealed a well-defined radioluc...

In this study, we formulate a new proposal that complements previous classifications in order to assist dental practitioners in performing a differential diagnosis based on patients' radiographs. We used general search engines and specialized databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, MedLine Plus, Science Direct, Scopus, and well-recognized textbooks to find relevant studies by ...

We report a clinical case of horizontal root fracture in the mandibular first premolar induced by a traffic accident. The fractured tooth spontaneously healed and diagnosed radiographically after 2 years. Fractured fragments were separated by a narrow radiolucent line and the edges were rounded, and healing of the tooth is likely to be related to interproximal connective tissue healing. Our cas...

A 23-year-old female patient presented with diffuse swelling causing intermittent pain involving the left side of face that had been present for over 10 years. Extra-oral examination revealed expansile lesions in maxilla and mandible, appeared mixed radiolucent-radiopaque on panoramic radiography. The maxillary lesion resulted opacification sinus. mandible trabecular bony changes larger radiolu...

The main goal of this study was to identify the main distinctive radiographic characteristics of different unilocular radiolucent mandibular lesions based on the criteria used by different groups of specialists during the process of radiograph interpretation to arrive at a correct diagnosis. A total of 24 panoramic radiographs were selected exhibiting the following lesions: ameloblastoma, kerat...
