Diagnostic Accuracy of Cone-Beam Cts in Simulated Periapical Lesions
CBCT examinations should be complementary to a clinical examination and FOV adaptation can be utilized to keep the dose to the patient as low as possible.
Comparable Views of CBCT and MDCT
CBCT is slightly more reliable for linear measurements than MDCT and less affected by metal artefacts. CBCT accuracy of linear intraoral soft-tissue measurements is similar to the accuracy of bone measurements.
Interpretation of Difficulties Posed After Tooth Replantation
The method described in this article for geometric standardization of intraoral radiographs provided a consistent reproduction of the geometric exposure parameters, being indicated for use in the radiographic follow up of cases of dentoalveolar trauma.
Progression of Diabetes-Associated Periodontal Destruction
Diabetes augments periodontal destruction by reducing the proliferating capability and activating resorptive activities. Presence of the AGE-RAGE axis without diabetes implies that it is involved in the regulation of inflammation.
Economic Viability of Water Fluoridation in South Africa
Water fluoridation is an economically viable option to prevent dental caries in South African communities. Water fluoridation leads to significant cost savings and remains a cost-effective measure for reducing dental caries.
