Background: The accessory mental foramen is characterized by small foramina in the surrounding area of the mental foramen with communication with the mandibular canal. The aim of this research was to evaluate epidemiological and radiomorphometric aspects of the accessory mental foramen (AMF) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in Brazilian individuals.
Material And Methods: This was a cross-sectional, quantitative, retrospective descriptive study with 250 CBCT scans of dentate individuals in the anterior mandibular region, aged between 18 and 69 years.

Objective: This study evaluated epidemiological and morphological aspects of genial tubercles (GTs) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods: This retrospective, observational and cross-sectional study evaluated 276 tomographs of adult dentate individuals (18-69 years). The presence and absence of GTs were evaluated, and in cases in which this structure was observed, linear measurements (length, height, and width), and anatomical distances.

Purpose: This study aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on the mandibular incisive canal (MIC) studies using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: A PROSPERO-registered systematic review (#42017056619) was conducted following the PRISMA statements to summarize current knowledge on the CBCT aspects of the MIC. A search was performed in PubMed's Medline and Scopus databases, without date or language restrictions, using the algorithm {[(Interforaminal region) OR (mandibular incisive channel) OR (mandibular incisive nerve) OR (mental mandible) OR (anterior mandible) (cone beam computed tomography).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of the gray values and noise of a direct digital radiography system (Visualix eHD) for various exposure times and analyzed regions. To obtain radiographic images in a standardized manner, the digital sensor of the system and a stepwedge were positioned in a phantom at a focus-film distance of 30 cm in a dental device at 70 kV, 7 mA and 2.2 mm filtration.

Material And Methods: Twenty-seven Wistar rats were submitted to coronal opening of their mandibular right first molars. They were radiographed at 2, 15 and 30 days after the operative procedure by two digital radiographic storage phosphor plates (Digora®).
