Background: The radiographic method for deter­mining the estimated age has advantage of being non-invasive and orthopantomogram images are digitally processed. Canines have a strong corre­la­tion with chronological good resistance large pulp space. This study aimed to determine difference in estimates using Kvaal on right left mandibular canines. Subjects Method: There were 80 ortho­pantomogram...

Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by low bone mineral density, deterioration of structure and increased fragility most commonly seen in females old age as result lack estrogen. The mandibular cortical index, observed on panoramic radiograph, useful for the screening osteoporosis. aim study to analyze thickness orthopantomography representative preliminary diagnosis was conducted ...

Background: Orthopantomography (OPG) is usually used as a primary diagnostic radiological exam in the planning of third molar surgery because it deeply available dental clinics and has lower radiation doses compared to Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The OPG provides bi-dimensional image, but several signs have been proposed study position predict surgical risks. Methods: Patients were di...

Purpose: To investigate peri-implant bone resorption around 108 ITI dental implants 1 year after prosthetic loading using extraoral panoramic, conventional intraoral periapical, and digital radiologic techniques. Materials and Methods: A total of 108 implants were placed (59 in the maxilla and 49 in the mandible) in 42 patients (16 men and 26 women) with a mean age of 44.2 years (range 14 to 68...

Background: The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare example of a developmental odontogenic cyst. COC may clinically be diagnosed as calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour, adenomatoid odontogenic tumour, ameloblastic fibroodontoma, complex or compound odontoma, dentigerous cyst or as other types of odontogenic cysts. Purpose: The aim is to present an unusual clinical case of COC assoc...

Sialolithiasis is the most common disease of salivary glands. It is a condition characterized by the obstruction of a salivary gland or its excretory duct due to the formation of calcareous concretions, resulting in salivary ectasia and even determining the subsequent dilatation of the salivary gland.The sialolith usually measure from 1 mm to less than 10 mm. They rarely measure more than 15 mm...

BACKGROUND Condylar hyperplasia is a rare bone disease characterised by excessive development of mandibular condyle, which can lead to the development of asymmetric facial deformity together with malocclusion, mandibular deviation, TMJ and masticatory musculoskeletal system dysfunction. There is not a treatment protocol universally accepted. In order to determine the correct management, treatme...
