PURPOSE This study investigated maxillary third molars and their relation to the maxillary sinus using panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 395 maxillary third molars in 234 patients were examined using panoramic radiographs and CBCT images. We examined the eruption level of the maxillary third molars, the available retromolar space,...

BACKGROUND Preoperative radiographic examination of impacted mandibular third molars (IMTM) is essential to prevent inferior alveolar nerve injury during extraction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital panoramic radiography (DPR) findings in preoperative examination of IMTM. METHODS This retrospective study include...

BACKGROUND Knowledge and skill expected of healthcare providers continues to increase alongside developments in medicine and healthcare. Problem-based learning (PBL) is therefore increasingly necessary in training courses for radiological technologists. However, it is necessary to evaluate the effects of PBL to completely introduce it in our education programs. As a Hypothesis, it seems that a ...

Root fractures can involve the dentin, cementum, and pulp commonly occur as oblique with varying orientations. The aim of this study was to demonstrate maintenance health in a tooth fractured root without any endodontic treatment discuss advantage cone-bean computed tomography (CBCT) compared traditional radiographs diagnosis fractures. Intra-oral radiography 11 revealed horizontal fracture at ...

PURPOSE The aim of this review was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of panoramic radiographic markers in the detection of the relationship between the mandibular canal and third molar roots. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search of electronic databases, Cochrane Oral Health Group's Trials Register, National Research Register, conference proceedings, and abstracts was performed to iden...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to use panoramic radiographic findings to predict postsurgical sensory impairment following the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. METHODS There were 120 patients enrolled in this study (55 male and 65 female). A total of 120 impacted mandibular third molars were included due to the proximity between the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) canal...

Background & Aims: Before the surgery of lower impacted third molars, it is essential to evaluate the relationship of the roots to mandibular canal using radiographies in order to avoid postoperative complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of panoramic radiographs in assessing this relationship. Methods: This was a prospective study. The study population consist...

BACKGROUND Thoracic injuries are the third most common injuries in trauma patients with cardiac injuries amongst the most lethal. Imaging is essential in diagnosis and triage of patients with pericardial injuries, and this review aims to highlight the spectrum of imaging findings of pericardial trauma. Focussed assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) is the preferred initial examination, b...
