“…Gamma photon loses its energy mainly in the form of ionizations or excitations when it interacts with detector material. 3 The atoms which have been excited return to their ground state with the emission of secondary low energy gamma photons. The incident gamma photon can be partially or totally absorbed by photoelectric effect.…”

Nuclear medicine is the discipline of medicine that deals with the use of radionuclides in research, diagnosis, and treatment. It works on molecular & functional level and uses radiopharmaceuticals in its procedure helping in detection of lesions before morphologic change is evident. Radiopharmaceuticals also known as Radionuclides/ Radioisotopes are unstable atoms of a chemical element, actively emit radiation. These emitted radiations are absorbed by photomultiplier tube and reconstructed by a computer system followed by display of an image. The rationale of writing this article is to understand about Nuclear Medicine and its applications in oral diseases.

In oral fissure, "squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) "is the commonest oral carcinomas which comprises (90-95%). After the 5 th decade of age, male predilection is double as compared to females. (40%)of OSCC are confined to the dorsal or ventral surface ofthe tongue,(thirty percent)on the floor of the oral fissure. "OSCC" regularly distresses maxillary and mandibular attached gingiva, buccal mucosa, retro-molarand palatal region. In 5 years' survival percentage series from 20% {OSCC in the floor of the mouth} to 60% {OSCC in alveolus portion of jawbone} depicting poor prognosis. Although it is tough but it is required to do imaging studies to understand the results at the initialphases of the disease. Various modalities include {conventional plain film radiography, panoramic radiograph, cone beam computed tomography,Perfusion computed tomography,Magnetic resonance imaging-(diffusion-weighted MRI, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI), ultrasonography, single-photon emission computed tomography}, fusion techniques such as (ECT/ CT, CT/MRI, PET/CT, PET/MRI) along with nuclear medicines -(2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-D-glucose), (18F-FDG), 18F-3-fluoroalpha-methyltyrosine, (18F-FAMT) and L-1-[11C]-tyrosine(C-tyrosine), radionuclide imaging. These various imaging diagnostic modalities support in the grading of the tumor, valuation of the vascular supply, resolution about metastasis combined with confined lymph nodes as well as detached organs. Furthermore, imaging lessons help to forecast the possibility of resection and advance management, graft establishment, and diversity amongst reactive and metastatic lymph nodes,and amongst diseases reappearance and marks or adversative reactions of post-operation or emission therapy.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a common problem in clinical dentistry and are often asymptomatic in the initial stages. In this regard, TMJ pathology is often diagnosed at late stages when patients are referred and examined for other dental diseases. Untimely diagnosis of TMJ diseases leads to the development of a number of complications that reduce the quality of life of patients. The asymptomatic course of TMJ diseases and insufficient informativeness of clinical examination make it necessary to perform additional (instrumental) methods of examination. Given the complexity of the anatomical structure of the joint, it is most appropriate to use a comprehensive approach to the examination of patients with TMJ disorders. This review article is devoted to the evaluation of the effectiveness of imaging and functional methods of diagnosis of TMJ pathology.
