Background: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of linear measurements obtained using the classical (manual) method versus cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in craniofacial anthropometry, specifically targeting the infraorbital foramen (IOF).
Methods: This study involved two sample groups: one of 40 dry skulls measured manually using digital calipers, and the other of 40 CBCT 3D images digitally measured. Measurements included IOF height, distances between the IOF and nasion (N), IOF and frontomalar orbital (FMO), and between the two IOFs.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the pathological factors and anatomical variations of the maxillary sinus in patients undergoing dental implant treatment using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), a high-resolution imaging technique essential for preoperative planning.* -
- A cohort of 200 patients was analyzed, revealing that pneumatization was the most common variation (77.5%), with notable findings including polypoid lesions, cysts, and foreign bodies.* -
- The findings underscored the importance of CBCT in preoperative assessments, highlighting its ability to identify critical variations that can affect dental implant success, while suggesting further research is needed with larger, more diverse groups.*
. Being an enterically transmitted pathogen with a growing prevalence in developed countries, hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection remains an underdiagnosed disease in Eastern Europe. As far as Romania is concerned, only a few studies address this issue.

A similar imbalance may be induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Thrombotic complications are associated with multiorgan failure and increased mortality.

When the submandibular gland is involved, the lesion can be mistaken for an adenopathy. As there are few studies to elucidate this condition in children, we present a rare case of a 16-year-old female with suggestive symptoms, in which initial clinical examination and two ultrasound examinations mistook the lesion for an adenopathy.
