neurofibroma is an autosomal dominant disorder which has major criteria such as hyperpigmentation (cafe-au lait spots), cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors and bone deformities. in this report, a case of multifocal intraosseous neurofibroma in a 16-year-old male with right facial asymmetry, multiple unerupted maxillary posterior teeth and a previous history of infratemporal and orbital neurofibro...

a 20-year-old man presented with the history of pain and swelling in the anterior maxillary segment. the periapical radiography was indicative of a dental anomaly in right maxillary lateral incisor. due to the insufficient information from conventional radiography, cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) was ordered. cbct showed apical root resorption, large apical lucency and two separate canals ...

i ntroduction: vertical root fracture (vrf) is the longitudinal fracture of the root in endodontically treated teeth. considering the limitations of two-dimensional radiographic images in detection of vrf and introduction of cone-beam computed tomography (cbct), this study was designed to find the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of cbct and periapical (pa) radiography in detection of vrfs...

introdouction: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) is a relatively new three-dimensional imaging technology, which has been widely used in dental and maxillofacial imaging. materials and methods: cbct scans of 506 maxillary sinuses of 253 individuals (39.9% male and 60.1% female) were evaluated retrospectively for assessing the relationship between sinus mucosal thickening (mt) and dental and ...

conclusion the cbct may be safe to use in determining root canal wl. because lower radiation dose, a pre-existing cbct can be useful to detect the root canal wl more precisely. results the cbct was the most accurate method to evaluate the root canal wl, with accuracy of 70%. accuracy for the apex locator and periapical radiograph were 40% and 30%, respectively. materials and methods totally, 30...

conclusion the determination of the presence of mb2 in the maxillary first molars may be carried out using cbct scans. if the ∠mdp was 91 degrees or greater, there was considered to be a higher probability that mb2 canals would be found in the endodontic cavity. due to the positive correlation between the ∠mdp and the ∠mdmb2, the localization of mb2 canals may be easily performed in relation to...

abstract background and aim: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) produces high-quality data in periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning. the aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of cbct with intraoral digital and conventional radiography in the measurement of periodontal bone defects.  methods and materials: in this diagnostic research, two hundred and eighteen artificial osseous ...
