“…Within the teeth bearing area, molar region was the commonest site (52.7%) followed by premolars region (29.9%). This was the same finding of some studies (5,24) , and on contrary to other (8,20,23) , but generally speaking, posterior region was affected much more than anterior region.…”

“…Despite the number of cases found in females was larger than that in males, which means apparently that idiopathic osteosclerosis occurs more in females, but the reality is unlike that. As when considered the number of both genders in the sample, it showed that the percentage of occurrence in females (16.6%) is equal to it in males (16.9%), which is aligned with the results of other studies (4,21,23) , but contradicted other studies which revealed more predilection in females (8,24) and another study that revealed predilection to the other gender (22) .…”

“…Although idiopathic osteosclerosis is one of the most common radiopacities of the mandible, but the studies about its characteristics in different populations are somehow not numerous enough (1,4,5,8,19,20,21,22,23,24) The prevalence of idiopathic osteosclerosis in Egyptian population in the current study (16.7 %) was higher than those of other studies investigating the same condition in other populations (2.8-7.5 %), but this difference in prevalence could be partially attributed to difference among populations and partially due to that other studies depended on panoramic radiography which has inherent limitations that could hide small lesions, as well as those superimposed by anatomical shadows. Despite the number of cases found in females was larger than that in males, which means apparently that idiopathic osteosclerosis occurs more in females, but the reality is unlike that.…”

Purpose: Idiopathic osteosclerosis is a common radiopaque lesion without clear cause that affects the mandible and maxilla. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of idiopathic osteosclerosis in the jaws among Egyptian population. Subjects and Methods: 1100 CBCT scans were used to assess the prevalence, gender and age distribution, location, and size of idiopathic osteosclerosis. Results: Idiopathic osteosclerosis was found in 16.7% of the cases with equal distribution in males and females patients, especially, in the third decade. Mandibular lesions were found in 95.7% of them, 52.7% in molar region and 29.9 % in premolar region. The size ranged from 1.5-15.6 mm. Conclusion: Idiopathic osteosclerosis is not uncommon radiographic finding in Egyptian population with predilection to premolar-molar mandibular region.

“…Idiopathic sclerosis was also more prevalent in the case group. This lesion must be distinguished from remnants of a past infectious lesion [ 20 ]. Thus, the need for a more thorough oral examination in order to eliminate any source of dental infection or a workup to detect secondary hyperparathyroidism is also supported in the cases of this study.…”

Introduction Patients with chronic liver failure (CLF) are faced with many complications, because this organ is involved in various metabolic activities. Hepatic osteodystrophy is one of the major health issues encountered by this group of patients. The current study evaluated osteoporosis and bone changes in oral panoramic radiographies of cirrhotic patients. Materials and Methods In this study, 138 panoramic views of CLF patients, candidates for liver transplant (65 females, 73 males, aged 19-68 years) referred to Shiraz University Dental Clinic (Shiraz, Iran) for pretransplant oral examination, were evaluated. Also 138 healthy individuals (69 females, 69 males, aged 18-70 years) referred to the same clinic were examined. Abnormalities such as osteoporosis, pathologic radiolucencies, pathologic calcifications, tonsilloliths, condylar degeneration, and other findings in the alveolar bones were recorded. ResultsOsteoporosis was a common finding in CLF patients (p<0.001), and the probability of detecting low bone density in the panoramic view was 20.37 times higher among patients than healthy subjects. The probability of detecting pathologic jaw radiolucencies was 8.92 times higher in the case group than in the controls (p<0.001). Other bone abnormalities such as condylar degeneration and idiopathic osteosclerosis were also more prevalent in CLF patients compared to healthy subjects (p<0.001). Conclusion Cirrhotic patients are prone to osteoporosis of the alveolar bones. Also, pathologic jaw radiolucencies as a result of oral infections are more prevalent in this group of patients. Routine oral panoramic views are acceptable and cost-effective radiographies for use in detecting such abnormalities in the alveolar bones as well as overall dental health. These findings also support the importance of dental health examinations prior to liver transplantation to reduce the risk of organ rejection.

Prevalence and morphometric analysis of idiopathic osteosclerosis in a Chilean population

Abstract: All the data observed corroborate with previous studies; the IO does not present a large difference in the Chilean population evaluated compared to pre-vious studies carried out in other populations. (Folia Morphol 2018; 77, 2: 272-278).
