Development and multi-cohort validation of a clinical score for predicting type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background And Aims: Many countries lack resources to identify patients at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes mellitus (diabetes). We aimed to develop and validate a diabetes risk score based on easily accessible clinical data.

Methods: Prospective study including 5277 participants (55.

Pattern of Endodontic Periapical Lesion Extension in Anterior Teeth: A CBCT Study in an Iranian Population.

Introduction: Health of periapical tissues has been considered as an index for the evaluation of endodontic outcomes. The present study sought to assess the pattern of periapical lesion extension in anterior teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods And Materials: In this descriptive study' 199 CBCT images belonged to patients aging from 15 to 79 were assessed according to periapical lesion extension in the regions of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth.

Effect of Metal Artifacts on Detection of Vertical Root Fractures Using Two Cone Beam Computed Tomography Systems.

Introduction: Vertical root fracture (VRF) is common in endodontically treated teeth. Conventional and digital radiographies have limitations for detection of VRFs. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) offers greater detection accuracy of VRFs in comparison with conventional radiography.

Comparison of the diagnostic value of CBCT and Digital Panoramic Radiography with surgical findings to determine the proximity of an impacted third mandibular molar to the inferior alveolar nerve canal.

This study evaluated and determined the proximity of an impacted third mandibular molar (TMM) to the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) by using CBCT and digital panoramic radiography. This descriptive-analytic research applied CBCT and panoramic radiographs for 60 subjects (28 men, 32 women). Subjects selected showed a close proximity about the TMM to the inferior nerve canal on panoramic radiographs; these subjects then received CBCT radiographs.

Comparative study of the diagnostic value of panoramic and conventional radiography of the wrist in scaphoid fractures.

Background: Scaphoid fractures are the most common type of carpal fractures.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic value of panoramic and conventional radiographs of the wrist in scaphoid fractures.

Patients And Methods: The panoramic and conventional radiographs of 122 patients with acute and chronic wrist trauma were studied.
