Introduction: Panoramic view as a routine dental radiograph has an important role in diagnosis of other facial abnormalities accompanied with dento- alveolar structures. In this case presentation, we discuss this subject and also the efficacy of cone-beam computed tomography in localization of foreign body in complex anatomy of nasal cavity.

BACKGROUND Carotid artery calcification may be related to cerebrovascular accident, which may result in death or physical and mental disabilities in survivors. OBJECTIVES Our purpose is to study the association of carotid artery calcification (CAC) on dental panoramic radiographs and two risk factors of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) including hypertension and myocardial infarction (MI). PA...

Knowledge of the Eagle's syndrome shows that its symptoms can be very easily confused with other types of craniomandibular disorders, especially temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The aim of this study was to find a possible correlation between the presence of TMD and elongation of the styloid process as well relate to presence of calcification of the stilohyoid chain. Fifty patients with TMD, ...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the position of mental foramen by measuring the vertical bone height from digital panoramic radiograph and also the variation of resorption pattern by gender and extraction time frame. Materials and methods/study design: Digital panoramic radiographs of 500 patients were reviewed. The study population was divided into four age groups aged 30 to 70 years as (30-39, 40-49, 50-5...

A customized acrylic-resin template with gutta percha markers was fabricated for a human cadaver mandible. Twelve measurements were made between gutta percha markers and between the markers and known mandibular anatomic locations. Periapical, panoramic, and computerized tomographic radiographs were taken of the mandible and stent. Similar readings were recorded from the radiographs. The average...

Intra-osseous fibromas of the jaw are classified by origin. Intra-osseous odontogenic fibromas have odontogenic epithelia, while desmoplastic fibromas do not. However, it is often difficult to determine the odontogenic origin for central fibromas. Three subjects with a diagnosis of intra-osseous fibroma were examined. Case 1 was a 35-year-old man found to have a panoramic radiograph from the ri...

Aims and objectives: Identification of an individual is based on characteristics like gender, age and racial background unique to that individual. Out of all the parameters determination of gender falls first in line. Teeth can be used to determine gender dimorphism as they are the hardest structures and can withstand any adverse conditions. The present study aims to determine gender of an indi...
