“…Root resorption can occur in chronic, slow-growing benign lesions, however, malignant lesions also occasionally resorb teeth. PDL widening, inferior alveolar nerve canal widening, and displacement should also be mentioned in differential diagnosis such as malignancies, vascular, and neural lesions [4], [42].…”

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.

“…Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor after MM; however, it is a rare entity in the jaw [42], [46]. There is no sex predilection and over 80% of cases occurred in patients between 5 and 25 years, a second peak incidence has been also reported in the fifth and sixth decades of life [46].…”

“…In human anatomy, the mandibular canal continues forward toward the symphysis where it splits into two smaller canals that reach up toward the incisors (Soams 1995). According to Mortazavi et al (2019), in the region of the first molar to the second premolar, the inferior alveolar nerve branches into the incisive and mental nerves. In the present study, we were unable to recognize the incisive canal.…”

Variability in the number of mental foramina in the African green monkey (Grivet) (Chlorocebus aethiops)

This study aimed to determine the number of mental foramina (MFs) in vervet monkeys of the Cercopithecini tribe and perform a µCT analysis of mental foramina and mandibular canal morphology. A total of 19 simian skulls belonging to Chlorocebus aethiops species were used in the analyses. An average of three mental foramina was present in most individuals from the analyzed group. The Mann-Whitney test revealed no statistically significant difference between the number of foramina on the right-and left-hand side. Likewise, no statistically significant differences between the number of MFs across sexes were observed. Correlation coefficient values between mandibular length and the ipsilateral number of MF indicate a weak and statistically non-significant (p > 0.05) linear relationship. Volumetric reconstructions revealed the presence of a single periosteal sheathed mandibular canal terminated with four small mental foramina.

“…The mandible is more affected than maxilla especially in the premolar/ molar region, some condylar lesions have also been reported [40], [41]. Swelling, tooth mobility, mucosal discoloration at the affected site, massive bleeding after dental extraction, pain and paresthesia of the lip, or mental region are most clinical findings [40], [41], [42]. Radiographically, it can appear as unilocular/multilocular, well-defined/ill-defined, radiolucent/mixed cystic lesions.…”

“…Clinically, it is usually represented as a rapidly growing mass and it is more common in the mandible than maxilla [46], [54]. Pain, paresthesia, tooth mobility, and facial asymmetry have been found in some cases [42]. Radiographically, it manifests as an ill-defined mixed radiolucentradiopaque lesion.…”

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.
