objectives : bone assessment is essential for diagnosis, treatment planning and prediction of prognosis of periodontal diseases. however, two-dimensional radiographic techniques have multiple limitations, mainly addressed by the introduction of three-dimensional imaging techniques such as cone beam computed tomography (cbct). this study aimed to assess the accuracy of cbct for detection of marg...

long bone metastasis in cervical cancer is a rare presentation generally seen in the lumbar column or ribs. the reported rates of bone metastases are between 15%-29%. it is associated with poor prognosis. bone scan and magnetic resonance imaging are useful techniques for diagnosis. in this case report, a 32-year old female with a previous history of cervical carcinoma figo stage iiia presented ...

statement of the problem in order to replace lost tooth of patients, we use dental implants which are common. therefore, accurate measuring of bone height and width before placing implants is necessary. the aim of this study is evaluating the accuracy of linear and spiral tomography in careful determination of implant site sizes in comparison with gold standard (cbct). material and methods this...

background radiographs play an integral role in the assessment of periodontal disease. in recent years, advent of digital imaging has revolutionized radiology in dentistry. patients and methods in this diagnostic accuracy study, 48 inter proximal surfaces were evaluated in eight patients. these patients had alveolar bone loss in anterior regions because of periodontitis. intraoral (parallel per...

abstract a solitary plasmacytoma of bone occurs in approximately 2-5% of patients with myeloma. the lesion mostly found in the axial skeleton and have infrequently been reported to arise in the hand, and usually occur in the distal phalanges. we report the interesting case of a 75-year-old man who developed a solitary lytic lesion of the thumb proximal phalanx. this lesion was explored through ...
