Abstract
Objective: To alert the scientific community about the emergence of new characteristics of bone lesions of the maxillomandibular complex visualized in newer cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) technologies, as well as in current quantitative methods of image analysis.
Methods: This Letter to the Editor was based on the authors' professional experience, supported by scientific articles that described the characteristics of bone lesions of the maxillomandibular complex visualized in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) imaging methods.
Results: Bone lesion patterns present in the maxillomandibular complex can vary between 2D and 3D exams, as well as between different protocols and generations of CBCT devices. Additionally, the radiomic analysis in CBCT allows a quantitative characterization of bone lesions, presenting potential to be a non-invasive method for differential diagnosis.
Conclusion: Oral radiology undergoes constant technological modernization, resulting in improvements in image quality and revealing new behavior patterns of the bone lesions visualized in 3D images, especially in CBCT. Authors responsible for upcoming publications in oral pathology and radiology should be willing to research and describe possible new qualitative and quantitative features of bone lesions affecting the maxillomandibular complex.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine is to publish manuscripts of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work in oral pathology and oral medicine. Papers advancing the science or practice of these disciplines will be welcomed, especially those which bring new knowledge and observations from the application of techniques within the spheres of light and electron microscopy, tissue and organ culture, immunology, histochemistry and immunocytochemistry, microbiology, genetics and biochemistry.
