“…Since the diagnosis of ZACD usually occurs indecently, understanding the prevalence of ZACD is essential for clinicians and researchers alike, as its diagnosis is crucial for surgical operations [ 11 ]. The ZACD increases the risk of perforation and complications during eminectomy and eminoplasty [ 16 , 17 , 38 ].…”

“…Previous studies have recorded a high variability of the ZACD prevalence ranging from 1 to 76.7% due to the differences in the geographical regions, imaging modalities used for assessment, and age range included in the study [ 9 – 11 ]. On the other hand, most studies focused on adults [ 12 – 19 ] or a wide age range for both children and adults [ 20 – 24 ] following the concept derived from previous studies [ 2 , 25 ].…”

“…Another critical point is that these defects may resemble some pathological conditions, such as aneurysmal bone cysts, vascular malformations, acidophilic granuloma, cancer metastasis, and an early type of fibrous dysplasia. To facilitate differentiation, clinical and radiographic signs of bone destruction by the above-mentioned lesions should be considered in comparison to asymptomatic pneumatization during differential diagnosis of the head and neck lesions [ 11 ].…”

Objectives This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of Zygomatic Air Cell Defects (ZACD) among pediatric and adolescent populations in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Materials and methods A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted, utilizing digital panoramic radiographs of dental outpatients aged 6 to 18 years. The data were collected from registered digital databases of dental clinics in Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia, and an oral and maxillofacial radiology center in Sana’a, Yemen, covering the period from July 2018 to September 2022. The radiographs were evaluated based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and ZACD was assessed using standardized descriptions. Statistical analysis, including logistic regression, was employed to examine the impact of the associated factors. Results The study encompassed a total of 3,169 participants, revealing an overall ZACD prevalence of 28.5%. Age emerged as a significant predictor (p ≤ 0.0001), with the likelihood of ZACD increasing as the age of the individual advances. Gender and geographic region did not exhibit statistically significant differences in ZACD prevalence. Conclusion This study provides crucial insights into the prevalence of Zygomatic Air Cell Defects among pediatric and adolescent populations in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It underscores the prevalence of ZACD and the notable influence of age on its occurrence. Additionally, the research challenges prior notions of gender and regional variations in ZACD prevalence, emphasizing the complexity of the factors involved. Early detection is essential to avoid unwanted complications during any surgical intervention in this area.

“…High pneumatization is also considered a predisposing factor [3,65] (Figure 13); however, confirming this assertion in the present analysis was not possible owing to the lack of objective data. A recent review on pneumatization of the articular eminence [120] showed that the overall prevalence of articular tubercle pneumatization was 25.22% (n = 6393, women: 25.14%, men: 25.81%), showing no correlation between the frequency, location, or type of pneumatization and the age or sex of the patient. The average minimum thickness of the glenoid fossa roof was approximately 0.8 mm and was not significantly correlated with sex, age, or mandibular head morphology [121,122].…”

The superior dislocation of the condyle into the cranium occasionally requires invasive procedures due to the absence of a timely diagnosis. This review analyzed the available clinical data to provide information on treatment decisions. The reports were assessed using electronic medical databases from inception to 31 October 2022. A total of 116 cases from 104 studies were assessed; among the patients, 60% and 87.5% of the affected women and men required open reduction, respectively. The ratio of closed to open procedures within 7 days after injury was maintained; however, closed reduction decreased over time, and all cases required open reduction after 22 days. Eighty percent of the patients with a total intrusion of the condyle required open reduction, whereas the frequency for both procedures was comparable in the remaining patients. Open reduction was significantly more frequently performed for men (p = 0.026, odds ratio; 4.959, 95% confidence interval; 1.208–20.365) and less frequently performed in cases with partial intrusion (p = 0.011; odds ratio: 0.186; 95% confidence interval: 0.051–0.684); the frequency varied according to the time until treatment (p = 0.027, odds ratio; 1.124, 95% confidence interval; 1.013–1.246). Appropriate diagnostic imaging and prompt diagnosis are indispensable for minimally invasive treatment of this condition.
