February 2024
Background: Recognizing the oral needs of people living with rheumatic heart disease (RHD), particularly in relation to their jaws, is of paramount importance.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate potential jaw bone changes in children and adolescents diagnosed with RHD and compare them with a group of healthy children and adolescents.
Methods And Material: The dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs) of 32 children and adolescents diagnosed with RHD comprised the case group.
Objectives: The present study aims to evaluate the thickness and radiological patterns of the superior semicircular canal (SSC) in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (CL/P).
Methods: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of the patients were evaluated in axial and Pöschl planes. CBCT images of 84 patients with unilateral CL/P and 168 healthy individual controls were included in the study.

Objective: This study compared alterations in length and types of elongation and calcification of the styloid process (SP) between patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) who received renal transplantation, patients with ESRF undergoing dialysis, and a healthy control group.
Study Design: The SPs of 58 patients who had undergone renal transplants, 58 patients who received dialysis treatment, and 58 healthy individuals were examined with panoramic radiographs. Length measurements were made from the apex to the base of the SP.
Objectives: Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are used to control seizures in epilepsy and their long-term use is common. AED use has been associated with decreased bone mineral density. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of AEDs on mandibular bone quality using fractal analysis and panoramic morphometric indices.

- Chemotherapy can cause bone loss in kids with cancer, even after they recover.
- This study looked at the jawbone of childhood cancer survivors and compared it to kids without cancer using special measurements.
- There were no big differences in some bone measurements, but the way the jawbone looks did show some differences, suggesting that chemotherapy affects jawbone health.
