“…The lesions were more common in mandible, twentytwo (73.3%), than maxilla, eight (26.7%).This is in accordance with the study conducted by Fabio et al, 13 where the mandible was affected more frequently (71.43%) than the maxilla (28.57%) and Kambalimath et al 14 where they found that the most common locations of the odontogenic cysts were the mandibular (49.33%) and posterior region (33.33%). A study by Sumer et al 15 revealed that 50% of lesions were in mandible and 50% in maxilla.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasonography and colour and power Doppler ultrasonography for diagnosis of intraosseous lesions of the jaws and to correlate the contents of the lesion with the histological findings. Materials and Methods: 30 patients with intraosseous jaw lesions in the maxilla or mandible were included in the study. Ultrasonographic examinations were performed and, according to the ultrasonography findings, the jaw lesions were classified into three groups: cystic, semisolid and solid. Further, colour Doppler ultrasonographic examination was performed to evaluate blood flow in all patients following which surgical treatment was done. The correlation between ultrasonography and Doppler ultrasonography findings of the lesions and histological findings was investigated. Results: Thirty intra-osseous lesions from twenty nine patients were evaluated in this study. Twenty two lesions were located in the mandible and eight were in the maxilla. Of the thirty lesions, the ultrasound examination was inconclusive in one lesion because of the thick cortical vestibular bone plate and for two lesions histopathology was not available. Conclusions: Information regarding the content of intraosseous jaw lesions can be obtained using ultrasound before any surgical procedure. Further, vascularization of the lesion can be assessed via Doppler ultrasonography. Also, there was a correlation between the ultrasound findings and the definitive histological diagnosis.

“…Dental abscesses were scored as present when maxillary or mandibular bone was destroyed by an infectious process creating a rounded cavity in the spongious bone and a radiolucent lesion. If the infectious phenomena were externalized, the related fistula and cortical bone loss were charted [ 37 , 39 , 40 ].…”

Oral health status in historic population: Macroscopic and metagenomic evidence

et al. 2018

Recent developments in High-Throughput DNA sequencing (HTS) technologies and ancient DNA (aDNA) research have opened access to the characterization of the microbial communities within past populations. Most studies have, however, relied on the analysis of dental calculus as one particular material type particularly prone to the molecular preservation of ancient microbial biofilms and potential of entire teeth for microbial characterization, both of healthy communities and pathogens in ancient individuals, remains overlooked. In this study, we used shotgun sequencing to characterize the bacterial composition from historical subjects showing macroscopic evidence of oral pathologies. We first carried out a macroscopic analysis aimed at identifying carious or periodontal diseases in subjects belonging to a French rural population of the 18th century AD. We next examined radiographically six subjects showing specific, characteristic dental pathologies and applied HTS shotgun sequencing to characterize the microbial communities present in and on the dental material. The presence of Streptococcus mutans and also Rothia dentocariosa, Actinomyces viscosus, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Pseudoramibacter alactolyticus, Olsenella uli and Parvimonas micra was confirmed through the presence of typical signatures of post-mortem DNA damage at an average depth-of-coverage ranging from 0.5 to 7X, with a minimum of 35% (from 35 to 93%) of the positions in the genome covered at least once. Each sampled tooth showed a specific bacterial signature associated with carious or periodontal pathologies. This work demonstrates that from a healthy independent tooth, without visible macroscopic pathology, we can identify a signature of specific pathogens and deduce the oral health status of an individual.

“…In this present study, a low prevalence of radiolucent lesions was found on the radiographs taken in 2017, due to the small sample size. Radiolucent lesions were more prevalent in mandible than maxilla, as seen by other authors [3], [9], most of which have a benign character [5]. However, as this work was performed only on radiographs, the diagnosis was only presumptive, based on the radiographic characteristics of the lesion, without histopathological confirmation, which is one of the limitations of the study.…”

Detection of Radiolucid Lesions in Digital Panoramic Radiographs

This study evaluated the presence of radiolucid lesions in digital panoramic radiographs from the archives of the State University of Paraiba (UEPB) Diagnostic Imaging Clinic, performed in 2017. After surveying the radiographs performed by the service in that year, those with radiolucent lesions were selected, being excluded those with poor quality and with patient positioning errors. By means of a structured form, the characteristics observed in the radiographs were recorded by a single trained and calibrated observer. The analysis took place through descriptive statistics and all ethical aspects were respected. There was a low prevalence (14.2%) of radiographs with radiolucent lesions, which mainly affected young female patients. These lesions were small in size, located predominantly in the posterior periapical region of the mandible, with a unilocular aspect, being associated with a posterior tooth, mainly premolar. Inflammatory lesions were the most prevalent, with a presumptive diagnosis highlighting the predominance of abscesses followed by cysts/granulomas. The dentigerous cyst was the third most prevalent odontogenic lesion, occurring in its entirety in females. Odontogenic keratocysts and Stafne's bone cavity were also detected.
