Evaluation of the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the detection of peri-implant fenestration.

Background: Accurate assessment of the bone supporting the implant is crucial. Early detection of bone defects around the implant can prevent the loss of bone support that ultimately leads to the loss of the implant. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to check the accuracy of CBCT in detecting peri-implant fenestrations around the implant.

Exaggerated Mini Puberty during Early Infancy of a Preterm Girl: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Mini puberty is the important period of infancy life that can have a serious impact on sexual development in both sexes. In the infants born very preterm and with extremely low birth weight, mini puberty changes including changes in clinical, hormonal, and imaging data are severe and long lasting, especially in girls. It can be called "exaggerated mini puberty".

Evaluation of the Metal Artifact Caused by Dental Implants in Cone Beam Computed Tomography Images.

The presence of a metal object such as dental implants in the scan field may cause artifacts on the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, which can reduce the diagnostic quality and accuracy of images. The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the severity of implant-induced metal artifacts on CBCT images. To this end, a dry human mandible and a maxilla were selected, then two Roxolid and two Zirconium fixtures with different diameters were placed in the central incisor and first molar sockets and fixed with dental wax.

Wolcott-Rallison Syndrome With Different Clinical Presentations and Genetic Patterns in 2 Infants.

Wolcott-Rallison syndrome is a rare disease presenting with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DM) before 6 months old, skeletal dysplasia after 6 months old, and liver failure. Other manifestations are renal failure, microcephaly, epilepsy, central hypothyroidism, neutropenia, and dental and dermal problems. The cases were 2 patients from 2 different states of Iran (Khoozestan and Fars) who had developed DM before 6 months old.
