Objectives: Examining the reasons for the request of Dental Volumetric Tomography (DVT) by physicians may be beneficial in terms of improving the technique by determining the usage areas in dentistry faculties. The aim of this study is to examine the causes of DVT requests in patients who applied to the faculty of dentistry, and the distribution of these requests according to department, age and gender. Material and Methods: In this study, Dental Volumetric Tomography (Veraviewapocs 3D R100 (J. Morita Corp., Kyoto, Japan)) request forms of 1571 patients between 2016-2019, taken at the Department of Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology of the Faculty of Dentistry of X University, were retrospectively analyzed. The age and gender of the patients included in the study, the reasons for requesting DVT and the departments requesting DVT were recorded. Chi-square test was applied on the obtained data to evaluate the relationship between descriptive statistics and reasons for desire age and gender. SPSS 22.0 Package Data Program (SPSS 22.0 Software Package Program, Inc. Chicago, IL, ABD) was used as statistical software in the study.Results: Of the 1571 patients included in the study, 836 were female and 735 were male, and the mean age was 40.44±0.624 and 39.93±0.683 respectively. Considering the reasons for the DVT request of the patients included in the study, it is seen that the most requests were made for the evaluation of pre-operative implant planning (29.5%), the lesion (20.6%), and the third molar (11.6%) impacted in the mandible, respectively. In addition to these, a total of 26 different causes of DVT were identified, such as TMJ, sinus and trauma evaluations. When we look at the relationship between the reasons for the request and gender in the whole patient group, a significant difference was found compared to the chi-square test. Conclusions: With the use of DVT in dentistry, its diagnosis and diagnosis capacity has started to develop rapidly. DVT, which enables three-dimensional imaging, enables the evaluation of anatomical structures in the head and neck region with its high resolution capacity. The use of Dental Volumetric Tomography in dentistry is increasing day by day due to its advantages such as giving clear images in terms of radiographically and examining the obtained sections from different angles.

Objectives: Cysts seen in the jaws may be odontogenic or non-odontogenic, depending on the tissue of origin. Although there are different methods to diagnose these lesions, histopathological examination of tissue biopsy of the lesion is accepted as the 'gold standard' in cases where the diagnosis is insufficient. Although there are different methods to diagnose these lesions, histopathological examination of tissue biopsy of the lesion is accepted as the 'gold standard' in cases where the diagnosis is insufficient. Materials and Methods: Pathology results of 436 patients who applied to Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Faculty of Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Clinic between 2016-2021 for any reason and underwent biopsy were retrospectively scanned using digital archives. While classifying the cyst, the criteria published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017 were taken into account. Obtained results were recorded for statistical analysis. SPSS 22.0 Software Package Program (SPSS 22.0 Software Package Program, Inc. Chicago, IL, USA) was used as statistical software in the study. Results: Of the 436 patients included in the study, 250 (57.3%) were male and 186 (42.7%) were female. The ages of the patients ranged between 7 and 82 years, and the mean age of the patients was 35.5±15.8. As a result of the findings, it was determined that the most common cysts were radicular cysts (53.7%). Radicular cysts were most commonly located in the posterior mandible and anterior maxilla anatomically. Conclusions: In addition to clinical and radiological examination, histopathological examination of biopsy samples taken from tissues is of great importance in the correct diagnosis and treatment planning of jaw cysts.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze the biopsy results of oral and maxillofacial lesions and to discuss them in the accompanied by the literature. Material and Method: In the study, biopsy results of 644 patients who were admitted to Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology between 2016-2021 for various reasons and subsequently diagnosed with oral and maxillofacial pathology were retrospectively analyzed using digital archives. Age, gender, location of the lesions and pathological diagnoses of the patients were recorded. Results: In the study, 344 (53,41%) of the patients whose biopsy reports were examined were male and 300 (46,59%) were female, and the male: female (M: F) ratio was determined to be 1,15:1. The age range varied between 7 and 88 years and the mean age was 37,85±17,35 years. Out of a total of 644 lesions, 436 (67,8%) were cysts, 148 (23,1%) were inflammatory/reactive lesions, 57 (9,3%) were benign tumors and tumor-like lesions, and 3 (0,5%) were included in the malignant tumor and tumor-like lesion group. Conclusions: The analysis of data on oral and maxillofacial lesions is of great importance for the planning of preventive and therapeutic services.

Hemangiomas are benign blood vessel proliferations that usually occur in childhood. The incidence in women is about two times higher than in men. Although hemangiomas are usually asymptomatic, intervention may be required due to their localization and size. Early diagnosis, and treatment are the key factors to prevent complications. A 48 year old female patient was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of painless swelling in the mouth. As a result of the intraoral examination, an ulcerous lesion of 4 cm in diameter was detected in the posterior region of the left mandible, on the alveolar crest, raised from the surface, red-pink color. As a result of the biopsy, specimen was diagnosed as ulcerated capillary hemangioma. The lesion was completely excised under local anesthesia with an electrocautery device, and uneventful recovery was achieved. No recurrence was observed in the 6-month follow-up period. Regular follow-up examinations were recommended to the patient. The aim of this case report is to present information about the diagnosis, treatment and clinical follow-up of capillary hemangioma on the alveolar crest in the mouth
