To evaluate the clinical significance and variation of a calcified stylohyoid complex associated with advanced calcification as detected on panoramic radiographs among 80-year-old subjects.Panoramic 659 patients (262 men 397 women) data their general dental health conditions were used for evaluation relationship between 80-year-olds. This study was part 8020 Data Bank Survey, which designed to collect baseline in subjects. The morphology complexes allocated one 12 patterns. lengths measured...
Various kinds of diseases may be found in the oral and maxillofacial regions various modalities applied for their diagnosis, including intra-oral radiography, panoramic ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine methods such as positron emission tomography. Of these modalities, ultrasound imaging is easy to use detection noninvasive soft tissue-related diseases. Doppler images taken B-mode can provide vascular information associated with morphology...
Abstract Background Recent studies suggest that tonsilloliths are clinically related to halitosis and tonsillar abscess. Based on our empirical knowledge, relatively commonly encountered in daily clinical practice. It has been reported the detection rate of was under 24% previous reports, although experience suggests otherwise. The purpose study evaluate prevalence characteristics using computed tomography (CT). In addition, possible causes low rates panoramic radiographs were evaluated...
The purpose of the present study was to elucidate significance cone bean computed tomography (CBCT) for patients hoping undergo implant-supported restorations maxilla. Therefore, two studies were planned. One compare prevalence anatomic variations and lesions in maxillary sinus on CBCT maxilla with that other chief complaints a private dental office Japan. limitations panoramic radiographs detection sinus. Sixty-one pairs retrospectively analyzed groups patients, those who hoped (Implant...
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is an idiopathic orofacial pain condition. Although the pathophysiology of BMS not clearly understood, central and peripheral neuropathic mechanisms are thought to be involved. The authors compared brain response noxious heat stimuli in 16 right-handed women with primary 15 sex- age-matched healthy female controls. A thermal stimulus sequence 32 °C 40 49 was repeated 4 times a cycle. Warm were delivered Peltier thermode placed on right palm or lower lip for s...
This study investigated whether weekly teriparatide (TPTD) injections are as effective daily for the treatment of stage 3 bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis jaws (BRONJ) and compared serum markers bone turnover between two regimens. Daily TPTD has recently been reported to be BRONJ, but there no reports describing effectiveness injections. We report patients with BRONJ. One patient was successfully treated other Changes in levels N-telopeptide type I collagen (s-NTX) N-terminal propeptide...
In the present study, we sought to elucidate temporal profile of reaction microglia, astrocytes, and macrophages in progression delayed onset motor dysfunction after spinal cord ischemia (15 min) rabbits. At 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 h reperfusion (9 animals each), hind limb function was assessed, lumbar histologically examined. Delayed observed most at ischemia, which could be predicted by a poor recovery segmental evoked potentials 15 min reperfusion. gray matter cord, both microglia astrocytes...
Background: Since there are many differential diagnoses for cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD), it is very difficult dentists to avoid misdiagnosis. In particular, if COD related an embedded tooth, diagnosis difficult. However, have been no reports on the characteristics of imaging findings associated with teeth. The aim present study was investigate occurrence and (COD) teeth, in order appropriately diagnose Methods: radiographs or without histological 225 patients were retrospectively...
To evaluate the clinical utility of dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) sialographic images as a diagnostic tool for patients with Sjögren's syndrome.The morphological findings and various kinds functional parameters in volunteers on MR were compared those five definite syndrome.On sialographs all syndrome, so-called 'apple-tree appearance' was seen. The difference two using data elucidated between groups. maximum area detectable ducts group significantly smaller (P < 0.001) than that...
