With this edition the book, Comparison in the Diagnostic Accuracy of Intraoral Periapical Radiograph” provides the opportunity to include recent progress in the rapidly changing field of diagnosis of the periapical lesion with various method. Subject matter with updated diagnostic method information remains as green as ever. We live in an era where the thirst for knowledge and urge for learning is so much increased. Conventional and digital radiography may not always be a reliable indicator in the diagnosis of periapical lesions. In order to overcome the shortcomings, new and promising imaging modalities like ultrasound should be considered in evaluating these lesions. So, in this book I undertaken to assess the efficacy of conventional radiography, digital radiography and ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis of periapical lesions. This book is written in simple language. I have tried to make this book easier to understand this book among the undergraduate and postgraduate students of, oral medicine and radiology. I heartily request my readers to let me know about error if found.

Purpose: To determine sensitivity and specificity of root resorption detection caused by impacted teeth using multiple traditional two-dimensional radiographs and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: A convenience sample was utilized to identify pediatric patients with impacted teeth who have both CBCT imaging and multiple traditional radiographs (N = 34). Graduate dental residents specializing in pediatric dentistry or radiology reviewed the traditional radiographs and CBCT images and were asked if root resorption was present. Identification of resorption was compared to a benchmark (CBCT images reviewed by an experienced oral and maxillofacial radiologist -JA-). Results: Five (15%) cases presented with root resorption (benchmark). When comparing 2D to 3D images, the expert reviewer had a sensitivity of 40% and a specificity of 100%. Compared to the benchmark, traditional radiographs had mean sensitivity and specificity of 47% and 85%, respectively, whereas CBCT images had mean of sensitivity and specificity 73% and 87%, respectively. Conclusion: Root resorption with tooth impaction is not common. Multiple traditional radiographs have similar specificity as CBCT and should still initially be utilized for root resorption detection. CBCT should only be obtained if additional information, such as clarifying detailed location, is needed. This approach fits the Image Gently Campaign spirit.

ISBN: 3030007227

This book is designed to serve as an up-to-date reference on the use of cone-beam computed tomography for the purpose of 3D imaging of the craniofacial complex. The focus is in particular on the ways in which craniofacial 3D imaging changes how we think about conventional diagnosis and treatment planning and on its clinical applications within orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Emphasis is placed on the value of 3D imaging in visualizing the limits of the alveolar bone, the airways, and the temporomandibular joints and the consequences for treatment planning and execution. The book will equip readers with the knowledge required in order to apply and interpret 3D imaging to the benefit of patients. All of the authors have been carefully selected on the basis of their expertise in the field. In describing current thinking on the merits of 3D craniofacial imaging, they draw both on the available scientific literature and on their own translational research findings.

Panoramic radiology systems are currently being used in more practices than at other any time in the past. The practitioner now has decisions to make regarding detector technology selection for image acquisition and must remain informed about appropriate usage. This book is applicable to all panoramic dental images and equipment. It approaches panoramic radiology usage in the context of general and specialty applications.

The specific aim of this project was to determine the value of panoramic radiographs in cases of identification through a series of double blind comparisons and to formulate a comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of such interpretation. The study was conducted from a forensic approach through the use of all means of comparison of simulated "antemortem" to "postmortem" panoramic radiographs. These various means of comparison consisted of dental restorations (size, shape, location, and various materials), tooth morphology, anatomical landmarks, maxillary sinus configuration, foramina (mental, posterior palatine, mandibular, and incisive), bony trabeculation patterns, condylar morphology, mandibular canal morphology and location, morphology of the lower border of the mandible, third molar root formation, apical calcification, path of eruption evaluated through time intervals, hard tissue healing in old extraction sites, endodontically treated teeth, prostheses, malposed teeth, fixed orthodontic appliances, caries, coronal fractures, bone loss interpretation, and attrition.

Although orthopantomography (OPT) is a very frequently employed radiological examination, even the expert radiologist can encounter difficulty in reporting the findings owing to the specific terminology, the nature of the diagnostic queries, and the need to describe precisely the clinical implications for the dentist. Additionally, artifacts are a frequent occurrence, and many radiologists and dentists are unfamiliar with their causes and solutions. Methodological inaccuracies during the execution of OPTs also have important clinical implications. For all of these reasons, this richly illustrated monograph on OPT sets out to describe in detail diverse technical and methodological aspects of the examination, from image acquisition through to artifact generation due to lack of experience or malfunctioning. Possible solutions are suggested for all of the most common diagnostic and methodological problems. Emphasis is placed on appropriate terminology and guidance offered on the interpretation of findings in a range of conditions, including the most common odontological problems. This book will be of great value to the radiologist in routine interpretation and reporting of OPTs.​
