The radiation-absorbed doses from panoramic radiography, distal molar radiography, and a partial panoramic radiographic technique that exposes only the third molar region to radiation are compared. Doses of radiation to the submandibular salivary gland were comparable by all three techniques, but doses of radiation to the head and neck were reduced greatly by the partial panoramic radiographic technique. Partial panoramic radiography is a diagnostically satisfactory and a radiologically safer technique for evaluation of third molar pathosis than is panoramic or distal molar radiography.

Periapical bone edema volume in 3D MRI is positively correlated with bone architecture changes.
Insights Imaging
January 2025
Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital of Zurich, University Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Objectives: To compare and correlate bone edema volume detected by 3D-short-tau-inversion-recovery (STIR) sequence to osseous decay detected by a T1-based sequence and conventional panoramic radiography (OPT).
Materials And Methods: Patients with clinical evidence of apical periodontitis were included retrospectively and received OPT as well as MRI of the viscerocranium including a 3D-STIR and a 3D-T1 gradient echo sequence. Bone edema was visualized using the 3D-STIR sequence and periapical hard tissue changes were evaluated using the 3D-T1 sequence.
The influence of prosthetic treatments and implant-supported prostheses on posterior mandibular ridge atrophy: a retrospective cohort study.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Division of Restorative Dentistry, Periodontology and Prosthodontics, Department of Dental Medicine and Oral Health, Medical University of Graz, Billrothgasse 4, Graz, 8010, Austria.
Aims: Bone preservation is a requirement for long-term stability of dental prostheses, which is all the more important in the posterior mandible, given the particular challenges these areas pose to prosthetic treatment. The objective was to investigate the implications of different prostheses on the atrophy of posterior alveolar bone after tooth loss.
Materials And Methods: A total of 457 treatment cases were retrieved from the medical documentation and information network.
Periodontal Disease and Metabolic Syndrome in Women at Prior High Risk for Gestational Diabetes.
Clin Exp Dent Res
December 2024
Department of General Practice and Primary Health Care, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association between periodontal disease and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among women at prior high risk for gestational diabetes with the hypothesis that women with MetS show more signs of periodontal disease than women without MetS.
Material And Methods: A total of 112 women from an original study cohort of 348 women at high risk of gestational diabetes were examined 4-6 years postpartum. Diagnosis of MetS was based on the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III diagnostic criteria.
Oral foci of infection and their relationship with hospital stay after haematopoietic cell transplantation.
Support Care Cancer
November 2024
Department of Dentistry, Radboud university medical center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- Oral focus screening before hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is critical, yet the impact of chronic dental issues on post-transplant health is not well understood.
- A study of 500 patients highlighted that nearly half had untreated chronic dental problems, and those with three or more issues stayed in the hospital five days longer on average.
- The research found that while having multiple dental foci increased hospital length of stay, it did not significantly affect early mortality rates post-HCT.
Compound odontoma and impaction of the lower left deciduous canine in a 4-year-old child: diagnosis and treatment.

Background: Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumours, often considered hamartomas rather than true neoplasms. These mixed tumours consist of fully differentiated dental tissues, including enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. Odontomas can be classified into compound and complex types.
