Winter's classification was recorded, and the patients were exposed to a Cone-beam computed tomographic scan. True canal – tooth relationship was assessed in the sectional images. Pearson Chi-square test was used to correlate periapical radiograph and tomographic findings, and an unpaired t-test was applied for descriptive analysis.Rood and Shehab canal criteria in the periapical radiographs were significantly correlated to direct contact of an impacted lower third molar with the canal (p< 0.05) and loss of cortication of Mandibular canal (p< 0.05) on the cone-beam computed tomography. Cone-beam computed tomography is recommended to assess the periapical radiographs with canal risk markers pre-operatively to help avoid iatrogenic complications.","PeriodicalId":282949,"journal":{"name":"IP International Journal of Maxillofacial Imaging","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127708386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preoperative radiographic assessment warrants to provide data about the tooth itself, its encompassing bone, the neighbouring dentition, and related anatomical structural systems. Parameters that ought to be assessed are level of impaction, root formulations, angulation of the enamel, number of roots, root morphology, related pathology and, most importantly, the relation some of the crown/roots and the mandibular canal.

This was an observational descriptive study and all the images were processed and analyzed on CS3D imaging software. The data was analyzed using chi square test. The prevalence of RMF and RMC was observed in 8.5%, of which 10 were in females and 7 in males. The RMCs traversed in different directions – horizontal, vertical and angular. Based on the subjective assessment, each of these canals was further subclassified into straight and curved canal. In the present study in 12 of the cases angular curved type was found and in 3 cases, vertical straight was noticed. The bifurcation of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) canal was observed in 15% of the scans and remaining 85% had single mandibular canal. The proximity of RMF from buccal and lingual cortical plates was found buccally in 16 cases and in single case was found to be lingually. Position of RMF might change with the presence and absence of third molar. The absence of third molar results in anteriorly located RMF. In majority of cases it was found that RMF was located more buccal than lingual. The parameters considered in the current study will guide the oral and maxillofacial surgeons while giving incisions in 3molar impacted cases, other pathologies and ease to preserve the retromolar foramen.","PeriodicalId":282949,"journal":{"name":"IP International Journal of Maxillofacial Imaging","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130563838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They result in the mitogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and different osteoprogenitors, and their differentiation in the direction of osteoblasts. Other growth factors except BMPs which have been implicated through out the bone regeneration, with one-of-a-kind features with respect of cell proliferation, chemotaxis and angiogenesis, are also being investigated or are presently getting used to reinforce bone restore, which include platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor- β, insulin-like growth factor-1, vascular endothelial growth factor and fibroblast growth factor, amongst others. One present day technique to enhance bone regeneration and soft-tissue recovery with the aid of using nearby application of growth factors is the use of platelet-rich plasma, an extent of the plasma fraction of autologous blood with platelet concentrations above baseline, that is wealthy in most of the aforementioned molecules.

To evaluate and compare soft palate morphology and dimensions in various stages of OSMF with control by radiographic evaluation.: 60 patients were evaluated and compared for soft palate morphology, its length, width and angle by using lateral cephalogram and Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Most common type of soft palate was found to be type 1 (leaf shaped) in both groups as well as by both radiographic techniques. Significant decrease in length and increase in width with increasing grades of OSMF group. As per p value CBCT gave more precise result.
