[Interpretation of periapical healing in radiological images. A review].

Interpretation of the state of healing of chronic apical periodontitis or apical curettage with apicoectomy in radiological images is based on the analysis of changes in the appearance of the periapical area and in the bone structure adjacent to the site of inflammation or surgical intervention, which are projected onto normal bone structures. However, distortion of structures or the superposition of anatomical images should be considered when interpreting radiographs. We compared conventional studies of evaluation of the periapical area following treatment, together with 2D images, with the periapical index and the criteria of evaluation in both successful and unsuccessful cases of endodontic surgical treatment.

[Imaging features of osteomyelitis of the jaws with different diagnostic methods. A review].

Osteomyelitis of the jaws (OM) is an infectious pathology involving the bone marrow. It is due to various etiologies, the main one being odontogenic. The diagnosis of OM is a challenge for dentists, who must rely on clinical and imaging examinations.

Imaging studies used as aid in the diagnosis of cleidocranial dysplasia. A review.

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD), also known as Marie-Sainton syndrome, is a rare disorder of autosomal dominant type that presents specific characteristics at the skeletal and dental level. The diagnosis of CCD is based on clinical and radiographic findings. Panoramic, cephalometric and anterior poster radiographs have been used for its diagnosis in dentistry.

[Importance of cone beam computed tomography in the recognition of the trajectory and anatomical variants of the mandibular canal. A review of the literature].

The objective of this study was to provide an updated review of the literature on the importance of the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the recognition of the trajectory and variants of the mandibular canal (MCV).CBCT allows obtaining high quality images and visualization with an accuracy of approximately 94%, compared to 53% with periapical intraoral radiography (RIP) and 17% with panoramic extraoral radiography (REP), making CBCT an important diagnostic tool.The incidences of MCV in CBCT studies were between 1.
