The efficacy of a reporting and data system for computed tomography imaging in assessing the likelihood of malignancy in submandibular salivary gland tumors: a preliminary study
Han C, Zhao JR, Zhang WY, Huang MH, Sun LS and Sun ZP
To establish a submandibular gland imaging reporting and data system (SI-RADS) and explore its value in diagnosing submandibular gland (SMG) tumors.
Deep learning and radiomics-based vascular calcification characterization in dental cone beam computed tomography as a predictive tool for cardiovascular disease: A proof-of-concept study
Mahdian M, Ahmed AA, Bhattacharya M and Prasanna P
This study evaluated an automated deep learning method for detecting calcifications in the extracranial and intracranial carotid arteries and vertebral arteries in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Additionally, a model utilizing CBCT-derived radiomics imaging biomarkers was evaluated to predict the cardiovascular diseases (CVD) of stroke and heart attack.
Ultrasonographic characteristics of masseter muscle myalgia: a comparative study
De Nordenflycht D, Molinari S, Soto I and Toloza H
To compare the ultrasonographic characteristics of masseter muscles in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) subjects with a diagnosis of myalgia of the masticatory muscles to a control population.

Network analysis of differentially expressed genes involved in oral submucous fibrosis and oral squamous cell carcinoma: a comparative approach
Srivastava P, Rai A and Kumar M
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is categorized as an oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD) with an increased risk of occurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this study, we aimed to identify the hub genes associated with OSMF and OSCC.
Upregulation of RCN2 accelerates tumor progression and indicates poor prognosis in OSCC
Guo Y, Li G, Xia F and Li C
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a prevalent cancer of the head and neck region. However, the potential role of RCN2 in OSCC is currently not well understood.

Case Report: osteonecrosis of the maxilla and mandible related to trastuzumab, docetaxel and carboplatin
Pontes HAR, Barros do Amaral C, de Menezes EC, Corrêa Pontes ALS, Lameira IM, de Souza AS, Corrêa SCL, Foscaldo TF and Pontes FSC
We present a case of a patient with HER-2 positive breast cancer who developed extensive areas of osteonecrosis in the mandible and maxilla due to the combination of trastuzumab, carboplatin, and docetaxel. The pathogenesis is discussed based on the literature.
Randomized clinical trial of imiquimod compared with fludroxycortide in the treatment of actinic cheilitis
Fumagalli MJ, Cherubini K, Spanemberg JC and Salum FG
actinic cheilitis (AC) is a potentially malignant disorder of the lip vermillion. The study of effective therapeutic options is of the utmost importance to prevent the development of lip squamous cell carcinoma. This study aimed to evaluate the topical effect of imiquimod 5% (IM) and fludroxycortide (FC) 0.125 mg/g creams in the treatment of AC.
Predicting craniofacial fibrous dysplasia growth status: an exploratory study of a hybrid radiomics and deep learning model based on computed tomography images
Li G, Liu H, Pan Z, Cheng L and Dai J
This study aimed to develop 3 models based on computed tomography (CT) images of patients with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD): a radiomics model (Model Rad), a deep learning (DL) model (Model DL), and a hybrid radiomics and DL model (Model Rad+DL), and evaluate the ability of these models to distinguish between adolescents with active lesion progression and adults with stable lesion progression.
Suboptimal patient positioning with panoramic and CBCT imaging: effects on dose
LaPrade JC, Johnson KB, Broome AM, Ivanovic M, Mol A and Ludlow JB
This study examined the effects of changes in patient positioning on radiation exposure for panoramic and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiographic examinations by measuring effective dose (E) and equivalent doses.
Adaptation of virtual surgical planning to midface reconstruction with intraoperative navigation: "navigation mediated midface reconstruction"
Canter HI, Ismayilzade M, Yıldız K, Canbolat Ç, Dündar TT, Acka G and Demirak MO
The production of 3-dimensional models and materials according to preoperative virtual surgical planning is a time-consuming process and causes high costs. We aimed to demonstrate the navigation mediated reconstruction of the patients who underwent the removal of a tumoral mass in midfacial region according to their preoperatively prepared surgical plannings.
