“…CEOT is often unilocular when small and larger lesions tend to have honeycomb or soap bubble appearance. 8 CEOT are generally unilocular lesions; although 5-13% of cases have shown multilocular appearance. Variable numbers of radio-opaque bodies are seen in about 50% of CEOT cases.…”

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT), also known as Pindborg tumour, is a rare benign odontogenic tumour of locally aggressive behaviour forming 0.4-3.0% of all intraosseous tumours and 1% of all odontogenic tumours. CEOT is traditionally described as a rare, benign, locally-invasive, and slow-growing odontogenic neoplasm of exclusively epithelial tissue of origin. The most frequent location is the mandibular premolar and molar area, less frequently the lesion is found in the maxilla in the ratio 3:1, typically in the fourth to fifth decades of life with no gender predilection. It usually starts as a painless swelling and is often concurrent with an impacted tooth. The present case highlight the occurrence of CEOT in a younger individual on the unusual site i.e. in the left maxillary canine and premolar region as a painless swelling. This article also attempts to briefly emphasize the concepts of CEOT with the review of literature.

“…A mixed well-defined, radiolucent-radiopaque pattern is the most common form of the lesion, followed by radiolucent and completely radiopaque cases [17]. Unilocular radiolucencies are more frequent in the maxilla than in the mandible and maxillary lesions might be more aggressive [78]. The appearance of radiopacities close to the crown of an un-erupted tooth has been mentioned as the most characteristic and pathognomonic feature in this entity [17].…”

BACKGROUND: In developing countries, overweight among children becomes an alarming problem and a health concern. Obesity is a factor in disease severity of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) having the greatest impact on patients. AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of overweight in some of the Egyptian governmental primary school children, its nutritional and socioeconomic determinants. Special focus was directed to identify the current dietary practices including risky nutritional habits of overweight children as a weak point leading to increasing their vulnerability to catching COVID-19 infection. METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on primary school children aged 6–12 years. General demographic data, socioeconomic data, dietary pattern, intake of a diversity of nutrient-rich food versus calorie-dense food, and anthropometrical data were collected. RESULTS: Of 1600 child, there were 8% overweight who are considered at risk of COVID-19 infection. Considering the weekly share of the stomach, only one-third of the food consumed by overweight children is nutrient-rich, with high consumption of French fries and Candies (once per day among 95% and 78 % of overweight children, respectively). Moreover, 90% of them consume sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) more than once per day. The majority of overweight children belonged to small, middle- income families, and had illiterate or read and write mothers. CONCLUSION: Overweight children eat narrow diversity of nutrient-rich food that includes vegetables, fruits, protein, and dairy products. They eat more calorie-dense foods, every day. The increase of family income increased the likelihood of having overweight children with a high intake of SSB, candies, and chips; consumption of snacks between meals and before sleep. Protective predictors against overweight were highly educated mothers, taking breakfast before school, having dinner, and taking meals on time. RECOMMENDATION: Nutritional behavioral education aiming at choosing nutritious and varied options of food that is effective for improving children’s nutritional status is the key to decreasing vulnerability toward COVID 19.

“…The most frequent location of the lesion is the mandibular premolar/molar region and half of the cases are associated with an impacted tooth, mostly the mandibular third molar or an odontoma [17], [79]. It is usually characterized by a pericoronal radiolucency, as well as radiolucent areas with diffuse opacities [17], [78]. A mixed well-defined, radiolucent-radiopaque pattern is the most common form of the lesion, followed by radiolucent and completely radiopaque cases [17].…”

BACKGROUND: Focusing on history taking and an analytical approach to patient’s radiographs, help to narrow the differential diagnoses. AIM: This narrative review article aimed to introduce an updated radiographical diagnostic decision tree for oral hard tissue lesions according to their radiographic features. METHODS: General search engines and specialized databases including PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, Embase, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, and authenticated textbooks were used to find relevant topics by means of MeSH keywords such as “jaw diseases,” “maxilla,” “mandible,” “radiolucent,” “radiopaque,” “odontogenic,” “nonodontogenic,” “cysts,” and “tumors.” Related English-language articles published from 1973 to 2020, including reviews, meta-analyses, and original papers (randomized or non-randomized clinical trials; prospective; or retrospective cohort studies), case reports, and case series about oral hard tissue lesions were appraised. RESULTS: In this regard, bony lesions have been classified according to their radiographic pattern (radiolucent, mixed, radiopaque, and rarified), position (periapical, pericoronal and interradicular), margins (well and ill-defined), relation to dentition (with and without dental association), and number (solitary and multiple). In total, 50 entities were organized in the form of a decision tree. CONCLUSION: In this paper, an updated decision tree was proposed to help dental practitioners to make more accurate diagnoses and better treatment plans on the basis of radiographic characteristics.
