Synthesized images (sCBCT) output by the CycleGAN network were evaluated by comparing them with the original images (oCBCT) and CT images, and assessments were made using histogram analysis and human scoring of soft-tissue anatomical structures and cystic lesions.Results: The histogram analysis showed that on sCBCT, soft-tissue anatomical structures showed significant shifts in voxel intensity toward values resembling those on CT, with the mean values for all structures approaching those of CT and the specialists' visibility scores being significantly increased. However, improvement in the visibility of cystic lesions was limited.Conclusions: Image synthesis using CycleGAN significantly improved the visibility of soft tissue on CBCT, with this improvement being particularly notable from the submandibular region to the floor of the mouth. Although the effect on the visibility of cystic lesions was limited, there is potential for further improvement through refinement of the training method.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141473105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence and termination of AC and the presence of impacted canines were also evaluated.Results: CS was detected in 89 (8.9%) of 1000 CBCTs. The mean CS diameter was found as 1.34 ± 0.53 mm. No statistically significant difference was found between gender, age, direction, and CS presence and diameter. CS was most frequently seen in regions 11 (23.6%) and 13 (23.6%).

There was no statistically significant difference between the presence of AC and gender, age, CS diameter, NC-CS, BC-CS, and AR-CS distance. BC-CS length and AR-CS length were statistically significantly higher in patients with impacted canines.Conclusions: It should be kept in mind that the CS diameter, NC-CS, BC-CS, and AR-CS distance may increase in the presence of an impacted canine and the integrity of the neurovascular structure should be preserved. The fact that the CS is often localized in the palatial region requires a detailed evaluation of the anterior maxillary region with three-dimensional imaging methods.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141768116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The clinical, radiological and histopathological features of a case associated with cemento-osseous dysplasia is presented.Case report: A 57-year-old mixed-race female presented with a large, progressive, swelling of the right mandible. Radiographic examination revealed two associated lesions. Partially defined irregular radiopacities were noted in the left mandible, extending from the premolar to the molar region. The lesion had a cotton-wool appearance and resembled a fibro-osseous lesion; i.e. cemento-osseous dysplasia. A second large, expansive and irregular, radiopaque lesion was noted on the right angle of the mandible, extending beyond the inferior cortex of the mandible. The internal structure was heterogeneous and resembled irregular bone formation. The classic \"sunburst\" appearance of radiating bony spicules can be seen in the posterior-anterior view and the CBCT 3D reconstruction, indicating the outgrowth of the tumor matrix. Histopathological exam confirmed a final diagnosis of osteosarcoma closely associated with cemento-osseous dysplasia. The patient underwent a fludeoxyglucose-18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scan which indicated metastasis in the left lung and increased uptake in the right mandible. Chemotherapy was initially administered with a plan to resect the tumor, however, the patient demised as a result of medical complications.Conclusion: The question in the literature remains whether these two entities are coincidentally found or arise from each other. Nevertheless, it is important for clinicians to closely monitor patients with cemento-osseous dysplasia and biopsy any suspicious lesions that may develop into osteosarcoma.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11379726/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141293941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on these three guidelines, this study developed specific recommendations concerning the optimal imaging modality for diagnosing teeth suspected of vertical root fractures.Conclusions: Periapical radiography is the preferred method for assessing teeth with mastication-related pain and suspected vertical root fractures. However, if intraoral radiographs do not provide sufficient information about root fractures, a small FOV CBCT may be considered. However, the use of CBCT in endodontically treated teeth is significantly constrained by the presence of artificial shading.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11379765/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141556067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, fractal analysis of the periapical regions of unilateral dens invaginatus cases and contralateral teeth was performed to determine the effect of possible microleakage on fractal dimension.Methods: A total of 136 patients (170 teeth) identified in panoramic radiographs taken for diagnostic purposes between January 2018 and December 2023 at our Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology were included in the study. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS V23. The Chi-square test was used for comparing categorical variables between groups. The relationship between the FD values calculated around the apexes of the teeth with unilateral dens invaginatus and the contralateral teeth was analyzed by paired t test. A significance level of p < 0.050 was adopted.Results: The mean age of the cases was calculated as 28.1 (8-63) years. 66 (48.5%) of the cases were female, and 70 (51.1%) were male. The lateral incisor was the most affected tooth among these cases. Bilateral cases were observed in 34 patients.

Periapical lesions were seen in 22 of these cases.Conclusions: Dens invaginatus cases are a congenital anomaly encountered at any age. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent the loss of pulp vitality due to these invaginations. It should be noted that these invaginations can affect both jaws. However, due to the prevalence of occurrence in the maxillary anterior teeth and asymptomatic nonvitality, particular attention should be paid to evaluating this region.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140923466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We herein report a case of a central DGCT that occurred in the maxilla and resulted in bone expansion. This study highlights new imaging findings (particularly magnetic resonance imaging) along with histopathological observations. In addition, we conducted a review of the existing literature on this rare tumor. A 37-year-old man developed swelling around the right cheek. A benign odontogenic tumor such as ameloblastoma was suspected based on the imaging examination findings (including bone expansion and the internal characteristics of the tumor) on panoramic imaging, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The lesion was surgically excised from the right maxilla. Postoperative histopathological examination led to a definitive diagnosis of central DGCT. The tumor comprised epithelial neoplastic islands, resembling ameloblastoma, inside tight fibroconnective tissue; masses of ghost cells and formation of dentin were also observed. We had suspected that the minute high-density region around the molars on the imaging examinations represented alveolar bone change; however, it represented dentin formation. This led to difficulty diagnosing the lesion. Although DGCT may present characteristic findings on imaging examinations, its occurrence is infrequent, and in some cases, the findings may include the presence or absence of an impacted tooth without obvious calcification. The present case suggests that we should consider the possibility of an odontogenic tumor with calcification when high-density structures are observed inside the lesion.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11379793/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141538996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lateral asymmetry index was calculated based on two distances from each of the lateral ends of the lesion to the midsagittal plane. The index was defined as the difference between the two distances divided by their sum. The labio-palatal asymmetry index was determined by the distance between the labial and palatal ends of the lesion and the coronal plane passing through the central incisor root apex. The performance of these indices was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The cutoff values for differentiating NPDCs from RCs were determined with the Youden procedure on the ROC curve.Results: The area under the ROC curve was 0.97 for the lateral asymmetry index and 0.88 for the labio-palatal asymmetry index. The cutoff values for differentiation were 0.36 and 0.68 for the lateral and labio-palatal asymmetry indices, respectively.Conclusion: The lateral asymmetry index appeared to be an effective reference for differentiating NPDCs from RCs on CT or CBCT images.
