Article Synopsis
- Erythema multiforme (EM) is an underestimated hypersensitivity reaction linked to drugs and infections, making it challenging to diagnose and classify.
- A study of 36 EM patients revealed that infections were the main triggering factor (25%), with labial mucosa being the most affected area (86.1%), and most cases being diagnosed as EM minor (77.8%).
- The findings aim to aid dentists in understanding and managing EM, providing valuable epidemiological data for the region.
Objectives: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the prevalence of pathologies associated with impacted third molars in relation to tooth position on cone-beam computed tomography images.
Material And Methods: In 348 cone-beam computed tomography images, the position of 640 impacted third molars (mesiodistal angulation, buccolingual inclination, impaction depth, and contact point localization) and the presence of pathologies (distal caries, external root resorption, marginal bone loss, and pathological follicular space) were evaluated. The data were analysed statistically with a significance level set at P < 0.
Background/purpose: Studies suggested that presence and size of overhanging restoration margins play role in alveolar bone loss. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and distribution of overhanging approximal restorations, to evaluate the effect of presence and size of overhang on bone loss using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) reformatted panoramic images, and to encourage the use of CBCT in retrospective studies on restorative dentistry.
Materials And Methods: CBCT images of 382 patients with approximal restorations were included in the study.
Background/purpose: Radiological examination is indispensable in the diagnosis and follow-up of cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD). The aim of this retrospective study was to describe a series of COD cases, identify the frequencies of COD subtypes, and investigate the demographic and radiological characteristics in relation to subtypes.
Materials And Methods: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images/reports of patients with a diagnosis of COD were included in the study.
Aim: Increasing use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for dentomaxillofacial diagnosis raises concerns about radiation dose which is known to be higher compared to conventional dental imaging methods. This retrospective study investigated the CBCT referrals in a Turkish paediatric subpopulation in terms of referring department, field of view (FOV),and findings.
Materials And Methods: A total of 8,880 CBCT images were reviewed retrospectively and images of paediatric patients (?14 years old) were selected.
