Bone age and dental late effects in childhood cancer survivors: Radiographic findings in a Brazilian sample.

Background: Changes in bone age and tooth development are late side effects of cancer therapy and can be identified by imaging examination.

Aim: To evaluate the late effects of antineoplastic treatment on bone age and dental development in childhood cancer survivors.

Design: This is a retrospective case-control study on paediatric cancer survivors of both sexes who underwent antineoplastic treatment with 5-15 years of survival.

A Rare Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor of the Maxilla Mimicking a Periapical Lesion.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is a malignant neoplasm that is rarely found in the oral cavity. About 50% of this tumor occurs in patients with neurofibromatosis type I and comprises approximately 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas of head and neck region. Intraosseous malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the maxilla is rare.

Three-dimensional images contribute to the diagnosis of mucous retention cyst in maxillary sinus.

Objective: To evaluate the detection of mucous retention cyst of maxillary sinus (MRCMS) using panoramic radiography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Study Design: A digital database with 6,000 panoramic radiographs was reviewed for MRCMS. Suggestive images of MRCMS were detected on 185 radiographs, and patients were located and invited to return for follow-up.

Lymphangioma mimicking apical periodontitis.

Introduction: Lymphangiomas mimicking apical periodontitis, usually found in soft tissue of children and infants younger than 2 years, are extremely rare in aged patients, particularly in bone tissues.

Methods: An 81-year-old woman was seen in a radiological service to undergo imaging studies for the placement of dental implants. A panoramic radiograph showed a radiolucent multilocular structure in the left mandibular molar region, where teeth #17 and #18 had previously been treated endodontically.

Influence of intracanal post on apical periodontitis identified by cone-beam computed tomography.

The determination of the success of endodontic treatment has been often discussed based on outcome obtained by periapical radiography. The aim of this study was to verify the influence of intracanal post on apical periodontitis detected by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). A consecutive sample of 1020 images (periapical radiographs and CBCT scans) taken from 619 patients (245 men; mean age, 50.

Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia in maxillary teeth suggesting apical periodontitis: case report.

This article describes the case of a 34-year-old woman whose prosthodontist had referred her for root canal treatment of tooth No. 10, due to an initial diagnosis of apical periodontitis. Although periapical radiolucencies were present, teeth No.

Traumatic bone cyst suggestive of large apical periodontitis.

This case report shows the importance of establishing the correct diagnosis to provide the appropriate treatment options The traumatic bone cyst is a pseudocyst, usually asymptomatic and found by a routine radiographic examination. Unicystic radiolucency is almost always observed, which can involve the periradicular area of teeth, simulating an inflammatory lesion of endodontic origin. Differential diagnosis should include other pathologies, such as odontogenic keratocyst, central giant cell granuloma, and unicystic ameloblastoma.
