Ewing's sarcoma of bone is a rare malignant round cell tumor of the head and neck. The jaw, particularly the mandible, accounts for 3% of occurrences in the head and neck area. These tumors have been reported more frequently in men than in women, and they are usually between 5- and 20-year-old. It is difficult for clinicians and pathologists to make a diagnosis based solely on clinical and microscopic findings. Immunohistochemistry presents a plausible tool that can help the pathologist to arrive at a confirmatory diagnosis. This jaw tumor has the best prognosis when detected and treated early in the disease course, so the importance of timely, and accurate diagnosis cannot be overemphasized. The highlighting feature of this case report of an 18-year-old male that was primary detected by immunohistochemically as Ewing's sarcoma and is localized to the impacted left mandibular molars.

Surgeons routinely interpret preoperative radiographic images for estimating the shape and position of the tooth prior to performing tooth extraction. In this study, we aimed to predict the difficulty of lower wisdom tooth extraction using only panoramic radiographs. Difficulty was evaluated using the modified Parant score.

This study investigates the efficacy of Kinesio taping (KT) in reducing postoperative discomfort, including edema, trismus, and pain, following mandibular third molar extraction. A prospective randomized split-mouth design was employed, involving 7 patients with impacted mandibular third molars. KT was applied immediately postsurgery, and outcomes were assessed on the third and seventh postoperative days using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, 3D morphometric analysis for swelling, and caliper measurements for trismus.

Background: The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), a crucial branch of the trigeminal nerve, innervates the mandible. Precise knowledge of IAN positioning ensures surgical safety.
Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed head and neck computed tomography scans from Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the contact relationship and position of impacted mandibular third molar teeth (IMM) with the mandibular canal (MC) in panoramic radiography (PR) images using deep learning (DL) models trained with the help of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and DL to compare the performances of the architectures.
Methods: In this study, a total of 546 IMMs from 290 patients with CBCT and PR images were included. The performances of SqueezeNet, GoogLeNet, and Inception-v3 architectures in solving four problems on two different regions of interest (RoI) were evaluated.

Introduction: The primary objective of this study was to assess the 3-dimensional position of the mandibular canal (MC) in different craniofacial patterns to know about the safe placement of temporary skeletal anchorage devices using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The secondary objectives were to assess sex differences and correlate the MC position with various factors.
Methods: This prospective, observational study was conducted on 90 patients, divided into 3 groups based on the sagittal pattern: skeletal Class I, Class II, and Class III.
