Prevalence and pattern of proximity of maxillary posterior teeth to maxillary sinus with mucosal thickening: A cone beam computed tomography based retrospective study.

Context: Odontogenic sinusitis is a prevalent but frequently unrecognized condition, and periapical pathologies of maxillary posterior teeth are accused as one of the main causative factors.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the periapical status of maxillary posterior teeth and its proximity to the maxillary sinus floor in the occurrence of incidental sinus pathologies using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methodology: CBCT scans of 118 patients of age range 18-77 years were evaluated retrospectively to determine the relationship of maxillary posterior teeth to sinus floor in which vertical relationship was assessed using modified Kwak's classification and periapical status using CBCT periapical index.

Craniofacial Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: A Rare Case Report.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare haematological disorder characterised by accumulation and abnormal proliferation of bone marrow-derived Langerhans cells and mature eosinophils. The clinical presentation of patients with LCH may be localised or systemic, depending on the site and the degree of involvement. LCH may involve any bone, but the most commonly involved bones are long bones, pelvis, ribs, skull, vertebrae, and facial bones.

Knowledge and attitude toward COVID-19 and dental treatment - Its availability and treatment satisfaction during the pandemic among adult population - An online survey.

Background: Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly infectious disease primarily spreading through droplet infection which require significant restriction and modification in dental treatment. This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude of adult population toward COVID-19 and dental treatment and to assess the availability of dental treatment and patient satisfaction during the time of pandemic.

Materials And Methods: An online survey was conducted using self-designed electronic questionnaire consisting knowledge and attitude about COVID-19 and dental scenario and questions regarding availability of dental treatment received during the time of pandemic.

A Rare Case Of Shprintzen-Goldberg Syndrome.

Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome is a relatively rare congenital connective tissue type of disorder with a constellation of dysmorphic features including craniosynostosis, craniofacial, skeletal, cardiovascular and neurological abnormalities. We present the case-report of a 5-year-old boy with Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome and a brief review of literature pertaining to this condition. The patients with Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome show a considerable phenotypic overlap with other craniosynostosis syndromes.

Actual applications of magnetic resonance imaging in dentomaxillofacial region.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a versatile imaging modality utilized in various medical fields. Specifically used for evaluation of soft tissues, with non-ionizing radiation and multiplanar sections that has provided great guidance to diagnosis. Nowadays, use of MRI in dental practice is becoming more pervasive, especially for the evaluation of head-and-neck cancer, detection of salivary gland lesions, lymphadenopathy, and temporomandibular joint disorders.

Radiographic evaluation of remodeling of mandible in adult South Indian population: Implications in forensic science.

Introduction: Panoramic X-ray is an imagiological examination produced by a technique that exhibits images of the facial structure present in the upper and lower dental arches, as well as the support structures in the diagnosis of problems that require a broad view of the oral-maxillofacial complex, such as the assessment of traumatisms, extensive lesions, dental development, tooth retention, and growth anomalies. Many morphological and anatomical changes are exhibited by the mandible with the advancement of age and changes in gender, as well as dentoalveolar condition of the patient, and it can be assessed with the help of such radiograph, thus playing an important role in personal identification in forensic dentistry.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the changes in gonial angle (GA), antegonial angle (AGA), and antegonial depth (AGD) in adult mandible with regard to age, gender, and dental status using panoramic radiographs.
