“…Lesions below the mandibular canal are likely to be non-odontogenic such as SBC but the lesions over it is usually odontogenic in nature such as radicular cyst. Non-odontogenic lesions have no relationship to the dentition whereas odontogenic lesions typically involve teeth or a specific part of the tooth such as DC [2], [3].…”

“…They enable the dentist to identify many conditions that may otherwise go undetected and to find conditions that cannot be seen clinically [2]. Many lesions that occur in the jawbones have a similar radiographic feature and it is often difficult to distinguish among them [1], [3]. Radiographic evaluation of the central lesion characteristics, which includes location, margin, cortical integrity, density, relation to dentition, effect on surrounding structures, and along with knowledge of clinical data, helps in narrowing the differential diagnosis [1].…”

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.

“…Radiographic evaluation of the central lesion characteristics, which includes location, margin, cortical integrity, density, relation to dentition, effect on surrounding structures, and along with knowledge of clinical data, helps in narrowing the differential diagnosis [1]. Review of the literature showed that some authors have developed guidelines and classifications to help dental practitioners evaluate radiographs more precisely [1], [2], [3]. In this regard, we propose an updated radiographical diagnostic decision tree (Figure 1), this will help clinicians make more accurate diagnoses and better treatment plans according to the patient's radiographs.…”

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.

“…1 Some authors have developed classifications and guidelines to help clinicians evaluate radiographs more precisely. 1 2 3 Wood and Goaz 4 presented one of the most comprehensive classifications in 1997. In this classification, jaw lesions are categorized into three major groups depending on whether their radiographic appearance is completely radiolucent, mixed, or totally radiopaque.…”

Radiolucent rim as a possible diagnostic aid for differentiating jaw lesions

et al. 2015

In this study, we formulate a new proposal that complements previous classifications in order to assist dental practitioners in performing a differential diagnosis based on patients' radiographs. We used general search engines and specialized databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, MedLine Plus, Science Direct, Scopus, and well-recognized textbooks to find relevant studies by using keywords such as "jaw disease," "jaw lesions," "radiolucent rim," "radiolucent border," and "radiolucent halo." More than 200 articles were found, of which 70 were broadly relevant to the topic. We ultimately included 50 articles that were closely related to the topic of interest. When the relevant data were compiled, the following eight lesions were identified as having a radiolucent rim: periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia, focal cemento-osseous dysplasia, florid cemento-osseous dysplasia, cemento-ossifying fibroma, osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, odontoma, and cementoblastoma. We propose a novel subcategory, jaw lesions with a radiolucent rim, which includes eight entities. The implementation of this new category can help improve the diagnoses that dental practitioners make based on patients' radiographs.
