The individualized approach to the performance of computerized tomography of the skull is described. With the use of the 160X160 matrix it is possible to look at the initial scans almost immediately after their completion. If necessary, unsatisfactory scans can be repeated, the position of the head can be changed and artifacts due to motion can be minimized or eliminated. Lesions can be revealed or enhanced with intravenously injected contrast material if desired. The individualized approach has eliminated the need to recall patients and has improved the diagnostic capability of the method.

Purpose: The degenerative joint disease is a temporomandibular disorder. By analysing texture parameters, it becomes possible to characterize and differentiate various tissues, based on their textural properties according to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study evaluated degenerative diseases in the temporomandibular joint through texture analysis.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to perform a three-dimensional (3D) assessment of the cranial base of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 52 UCLP patients (21 females and 31 males; mean age, 10.0 ± 2.

Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) and intracranial aneurysms are prevalent conditions in the cerebrovascular system. ICAS causes a narrowing of the arterial lumen, thereby restricting blood flow, while aneurysms involve the ballooning of blood vessels. Both conditions can lead to severe outcomes, such as stroke or vessel rupture, which can be fatal.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects of deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen (DBBMC) combined with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) on facial alveolar bone augmentation in the anterior maxillary region.
Materials And Methods: Patients receiving dental implant placement with simultaneous lateral bone augmentation using DBBM (control group) or DBBMC combined with DBBM (test group) were included in the study. The radiographic assessment of facial alveolar bone, such as facial horizontal bone thickness (FHBT), facial vertical bone level (FVBL), and square of facial bone (SFB), was taken by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
