Objectives: The purpose of writing this literature review is to describe the condyle shape and position parameters in panoramic radiographs to be used as markers in diagnosing a TMD case. Literature Review: There are several classifications of both normal and pathological condyles in terms of panoramic radiographs, however these require more detailed observation. Panoramic radiographs that are only two-dimentional and only performed when the teeth are biting edge to edge so that they only show the position of the condyle movement and the shape of the condyle from the lateral view. Panoramic radiograph also have limitations in imaging soft tissues such as articular disc which are vital anatomy in analyzing a TMD case. Conclusion: Assessment of the shape and position of the condyles on a panoramic radiograph can be used as an early diagnosis of TMD. 2-dimensional modalities such as TMJ conventional lateral and frontal or 3-dimensional modalities such as CBCT or CT can be used for further assessment of a TMD case, while MRI or ultrasound can be used for soft tissue abnormalities.
Objectives: The aim of this case report is to describe radiographically the specific features of periapical cysts to differentiate them from dentigerous cyst lesions despite their similar clinical appearance. Case Report: A 21-year-old female patient came to Dental Hospital in Bandung with a referral for a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examination with a clinical diagnosis of suspected right mandibular dentigerous cyst and left mandibular periapical cyst. The patient said that during the past month, swelling had appeared on both sides of the jaw, which was getting bigger, the pain was intermittent, and it was disturbing when eating. Intraoral examination showed gingival enlargement, muccobucal fold disappeared. Extraoral examination, facial asymmetry was found due to unilateral swelling. Radiographic examinations showed both lesions were oval, unilocular, radiolucent internal structures with an average density of 4.7-32 HU resembling soft tissue density, corticated or radiopaque borders, caused expansion of the mandibular corpus buccally and lingually and to mesial and distal, cortical thinning and displacement of the inferior mandibular canal. Conclusion: Lesions on the jaws have almost the same clinical appearance, but through CBCT examination the type of lesion can be well determined. Periapical cyst lesion with large size has a clinical appearance like dentigerous lesions, but radiographically will show a different specific picture.
Objectives: The aim of this case report is to report the radiographic features of an internal resorption in maxillary central incisor and to emphasize the benefits of CBCT in this case. Case Report: A 14-year-old male went to Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital with a discoloration of his fracture upper anterior teeth. The anamnesis revealed that the patient had history of a fall in about 6 years ago. Patient didn’t complain about pain when examination happened and wanted to have his teeth treated. Periapical radiograph showed an internal resorption in maxillary central incisor. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to see other findings before determining the treatment plan. Conclusion: Internal resorption gives a characteristic appearance on the radiograph. CBCT modalities provide more information than conventional ones so that the use of this modality is not only to establish a diagnosis, but also can be used in determining the right treatment plan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
