The imaging role for diagnosis of idiopathic osteosclerosis: a retrospective approach based on records of 33,550 cases.

Objective: The study aimed to describe the diagnostic imaging features of idiopathic osteosclerosis (IO) to aid in differential diagnosis of similar dentomaxillomandibular conditions.

Materials And Methods: An archive of 550 dentomaxillofacial radiographic (panoramic radiography (PR) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)) images and 33,000 histopathological records were reviewed to identify IO cases. Chi-square, Student's t test, and ANOVA tests, with a significance of p < 0.
