Background: Bruxism may cause increased alveolar bone thickness and density and irregular enlargement of the periodontal space.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the mandibular bone quality using radio-morphometric indices and Fractal Dimension (FD) analysis in orthopantomography (OPG).
Material And Methods: OPGs of 100 patients, 50 bruxers and 50 non-bruxers, were included in this study.
BACKGROUND Anterior reduction disc displacement (ARDD) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can present with pain and clicking of the jaw when chewing. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between articular eminence cortication (AEC) and mandibular condyle cortication (MCC) in 81 patients with ARDD of the TMJ using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS We examined images of 142 patients who applied to the outpatient clinic between 2022 and 2024 for various reasons and whose radiographic records included CBCT and MRI images.

Methodology: 336 cone beam computed tomography images condyle images of 168 patients were analyzed for degenerative bone changes. These changes were named as condyle flattening, osteophytes, erosions, subchondral sclerosis, generalized sclerosis and subchondral cysts.
Background: A preoperative three-dimensional examination of the sphenoid sinus anatomy, its pneumatization pattern, and its relevance to neighboring neurovascular constructions is crucial to preventing possible complications. In this study, the aim was to evaluate the relationship between sphenoid sinus pneumatization types and the sella turcica using computed tomography (CT).
Methods: CT data from 420 patients referred to the Department of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology were evaluated retrospectively.
