AB  - Tessier No. 7 cleft, known as lateral facial cleft, is a rare and understudied entity with an incidence of 1/80,000–1/300,000 live births. Besides perioral tissue abnormalities manifesting as macrostomia, Tessier 7 cleft also involves anomalies of the underlying bony structures. It can appear as part of a syndrome, such as Treacher-Collins syndrome or Goldenhar/Orbito-Auriculo-Vestibular Spectrum, or as an isolated form (unilateral or bilateral) with variable expressions. Bilateral maxillary duplication in Tessier 7 cleft is considered extremely rare, accounting for only two previously presented cases. Given that the cases presented in the literature mainly focus on clinical appearance and surgical treatment, without providing sufficient imaging, we aim to present key radiological features of Tessier 7 cleft in terms of evaluating the involved structures, which is essential for the therapeutic approach and final outcome. A 17-year-old male with incompetent lips and orthodontic abnormalities was referred to our Radiology Department for orthopantomography (OPG) and CT examinations. Hetero-anamnestic data revealed a history of surgical treatment of the commissural cleft conducted 2 months after the birth to enable feeding. Intraoral examination showed a maxillary cleft and supernumerary teeth. Since the given clinical presentation was inconclusive, radiological diagnostics took precedence in elucidating this complex entity.

AB  - Chondrosarcoma (CS) initially suspected to be a periodontal lesion is atypical and rare. To the best of our knowledge, only six similar cases have been reported so far. A 47-year-old woman presented with a discreet swelling of the alveolar process of the mandible, while adjacent mucosa appeared normal. Upon initial intraoral radiography, a periodontal lesion was suspected by the ordinating dentist. Further radiological evaluations included CBCT, CT, and MRI, which showed a thickening of the supporting bone with ground-glass foci but without visible calcifications. The periodontal space of the affected teeth appeared to be uniformly widened. The destruction of the vestibular and lingual cortex was observed, as well as a discreet periosteal reaction, implying the secondary involvement of these teeth and not the odontogenic nature of the lesion. The lesion was restricted to the alveolar process of the mandible, and the bone marrow was not affected. Upon biopsy, a preliminary histopathology report suggested chondrosarcoma, and the patient underwent surgery. It is important to emphasize the possible malignant nature of atypical lesions in the alveolar bone, especially in cases with the expansion of vestibular and lingual cortical plates. Additionally, postoperative “watch and see” follow-ups may be considered in cases of CS in the jaws.

AB  - Background
The mortality of oral squamous cell cancer (OSCC) in Serbia increased in the last decade. Recent studies on the Serbian population focused mainly on the epidemiological aspect of OSCC. This study aimed to investigate the demographic and imaging features of OSCC in the Serbian population at the time of diagnosis.

Methods
We retrospectively analyzed computed tomography (CT) images of 276 patients with OSCC diagnosed between 2017 and 2022. Age, gender, tumor site, tumor volume (CT-TV, in cm3), depth of invasion (CT-DOI, in mm), and bone invasion (CT-BI, in %) were evaluated. TNM status and tumor stage were also analyzed. All parameters were analyzed with appropriate statistical tests.

Results
The mean age was 62.32 ± 11.39 and 63.25 ± 11.71 for males and females, respectively. Male to female ratio was 1.63:1. The tongue (36.2%), mouth floor (21.0%), and alveolar ridge (19.9%) were the most frequent sites of OSCC. There was a significant gender-related difference in OSCC distribution between oral cavity subsites (Z=-4.225; p < 0.001). Mean values of CT-TV in males (13.8 ± 21.5) and females (5.4 ± 6.8) were significantly different (t = 4.620; p < 0.001). CT-DOI also differed significantly (t = 4.621; p < 0.001) between males (14.4 ± 7.4) and females (10.7 ± 4.4). CT-BI was detected in 30.1%, the most common in the alveolar ridge OSCC. T2 tumor status (31.4%) and stage IVA (28.3%) were the most dominant at the time of diagnosis. Metastatic lymph nodes were detected in 41.1%.

Conclusion
Our findings revealed significant gender-related differences in OSCC imaging features. The predominance of moderate and advanced tumor stages indicates a long time interval to the OSCC diagnosis.

AB  - Determination of sarcopenia is crucial in identifying patients at high risk of adverse health outcomes. Recent studies reported a significant decline in masticatory muscle (MM) function in patients with sarcopenia. This study aimed to analyze the cross-sectional area (CSA) of MMs on computed tomography (CT) images and to explore their potential to predict sarcopenia. The study included 149 adult subjects retrospectively (59 males, 90 females, mean age 57.4 ± 14.8 years) who underwent head and neck CT examination for diagnostic purposes. Sarcopenia was diagnosed on CT by measuring CSA of neck muscles at the C3 vertebral level and estimating skeletal muscle index. CSA of MMs (temporal, masseter, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid) were measured bilaterally on reference CT slices. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 67 (45%) patients. Univariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated a significant association between CSA of all MMs and sarcopenia. In the multivariate logistic regression model, only masseter CSA, lateral pterygoid CSA, age, and gender were marked as predictors of sarcopenia. These parameters were combined in a regression equation, which showed excellent sensitivity and specificity in predicting sarcopenia. The masseter and lateral pterygoid CSA can be used to predict sarcopenia in healthy aging subjects with a high accuracy.

AB  - Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is inflammation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus mucosa. The aim of this study was to examine which of the available radiological and clinical parameters is the best indicator of the CRS severity. Methodology: In order to classify CRS, we used both a subjective assessment tool such as SNOT-22 questionnaire, as well as an objective tool such as clinical examination. We introduced three forms of CRS (mild, moderate and severe). Within these groups, we evaluated the computerized tomography (CT) parameters used as an indicator of bone remodeling, the Lund-Mackay score (LMS), CT properties of the soft tissue content in the maxillary sinuses, presence of nasal polypus (NP), presence of fungal infection and parameters indicating allergic status. Results: Frequencies of NP, positive eosinophil count, presence of fungi, areas of high attenuation, and duration of CRS and LMS significantly increased with the increased severity of CRS. Anterior wall thickness and density increased in the severe forms of CRS in the group assessed by SNOT-22. Positive correlation was detected between LMS and maximal density of sinus content and between duration of CRS and anterior wall thickness. Conclusions: Morphological changes of sinus wall detected in CT could be a useful indicator of CRS severity. Changes in bone morphology are more likely to occur in patients with longer-lasting CRS. The presence of fungi, allergic inflammation of any origin and nasal polypus potentiates more severe forms of CRS both clinically and subjectively.

AB  - To detect predictive factors for the occurrence of complications associated with unerupted maxillary canines (C). A total of 83 cone beam computed tomograms (CBCT), made from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2022, have met the inclusion criteria, whereby 110 unerupted C were detected. Independent variables were: gender, age, and C position. Outcome variables were detected complications: external root resorption (ERR) and dilaceration of adjacent tooth, ERR and dilaceration of C, dentigerous cyst, canine ankylosis, and adjacent teeth malposition. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to examine the relationship between income variables and detected complications. Vertical position of unerupted C showed as predictor for adjacent tooth dilacerations and malposition. Chance for dilaceration increases 5.5-fold with C position at the middle third of lateral incisor (LI) root, while chance of malposition increases 23.4-fold with its supra-apical position to the LI root, in comparison to the C position occlusal to the LI cemento-enamel junction. Age is a predictive factor for dentigerous cysts, with decreasing the chance of their occurrence 1.5-fold with each additional year of age. Early evaluation of the vertical position and timely treatment of C are decisive steps in preventing complications.

abstract = "To detect predictive factors for the occurrence of complications associated with unerupted maxillary canines (C). A total of 83 cone beam computed tomograms (CBCT), made from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2022, have met the inclusion criteria, whereby 110 unerupted C were detected. Independent variables were: gender, age, and C position. Outcome variables were detected complications: external root resorption (ERR) and dilaceration of adjacent tooth, ERR and dilaceration of C, dentigerous cyst, canine ankylosis, and adjacent teeth malposition. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to examine the relationship between income variables and detected complications. Vertical position of unerupted C showed as predictor for adjacent tooth dilacerations and malposition. Chance for dilaceration increases 5.5-fold with C position at the middle third of lateral incisor (LI) root, while chance of malposition increases 23.4-fold with its supra-apical position to the LI root, in comparison to the C position occlusal to the LI cemento-enamel junction. Age is a predictive factor for dentigerous cysts, with decreasing the chance of their occurrence 1.5-fold with each additional year of age. Early evaluation of the vertical position and timely treatment of C are decisive steps in preventing complications.",

AB  - Background/Aim. The depth of invasion of oral cavity car cinoma (OCC) and the nodal involvement define the treat ment selection, outcome, and prognosis of the disease. In de termining the stage of OCC, the most widely applied methods 
are computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance 
imaging (MRI), whose limitations can be overcome to some 
extent by using intraoral ultrasound (IOUS). The aim of the 
study was to evaluate the imaging presentation of early-stage 
OCC, determine the depth of invasion (DOI) and the greatest 
diameter (GD) of the tumor using the IOUS and CT meth ods, and compare them with histopathological (HP) findings. 
Methods. The study was designed as a prospective one, with 
a time limitation of three months. Eleven patients with clinical 
early-stage OCC underwent a native CT examination of the 
head and neck as well as a contrast-enhanced phase, and then 
IOUS of the lesion was performed. Using both methods, DOI 
and GD values were measured, and the values were correlated 
with HP findings. The analysis of the obtained data was per formed using the statistical package SPSS 22 and Pearson cor relation coefficient. Results. A significant correlation (p = 
0.001) was established between the DOI values measured by 
IOUS and CT examination with the measurements obtained 
by HP processing. On the other hand, by comparing the GD 
measured on IOUS and CT examination, no correlation was 
established with the HP report. Conclusion. Measurements 
of DOI obtained by IOUS significantly correlated with those 
in the HP report, while overcoming the limitations of the CT 
method in the evaluation of small-sized tumors and tumors 
that cannot be shown due to artifacts.

AB  - Background/Aim: Mylohyoid boutonnière is a common anatomical 
variant with extremely rare clinical manifestations. We report two cases 
of symptomatic unilateral mylohyoid boutonnière with sublingual gland 
herniation. Case report: The first was a 34-year-old female with a two 
months history of a left submandibular swelling, intermittent pulsations, and 
otalgia. The second 67-year-old female presented with a left submandibular 
pain six months after total thyroidectomy due to papillary carcinoma. After 
detailed clinical and radiological evaluation by ultrasonography (US) 
and computed tomography (CT), the mylohyoid gap with sublingual gland 
herniation was diagnosed in both patients. The dynamic US with a tongue 
pressed down on the mouth floor revealed blood vessel compression by a 
herniated sublingual gland in the first patient. Conclusions: This is the first 
case of a mylohyoid boutonnière related intermittent vascular compression. 
Dynamic US and CT may help to differentiate intermittent and persistent 
sublingual gland herniation through the mylohyoid boutonnière from other 
pathological lesions in the submandibular region.

AB  - Objectives This study aims to reveal whether and which position of lower third molar (M3), assessed on a 2D image, indicates or potentially exclude the need for the CBCT exploration of the retromolar canal (RMC). We hypothesized that some positions of M3 are associated with overall higher incidence of the RMC, and particularly clinically relevant ones, thus justifying additional CBCT diagnostics. Methods CBCT exam of 186 hemi-mandibles with present M3 were selected for the study. Explorations were made during the 2-year period from January 1th 2018 to December 31th 2019 with Scanora 3Dx Sorodex (Tussula, Finland). The following variables were assessed: the presence and width of the RMC, eruption status, and angulation of the M3. The RMC presence in relation to the M3 eruption status and angulation was analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Results RMC was present in 89 (47.8%) out of 186 hemi-mandibles. Mean canal width was 1.51 mm. 22.5% of detected canals had the diameter exceeding 2 mm. Third molar's eruption status showed no statistical correlation with the occurrence of RMC. We observed significantly higher occurrence of RMC in the hemi-mandibles containing distally angulated M3 in comparison to other orientations (p = 0.025). Conclusion Based upon our findings, we recommend preoperative CBCT in cases where distal angulation of M3 is observed on 2D images, for the purpose of RMC exploration. Lower resolution CBCT mode and limited field of view (XS or S) are sufficient for the visualization of potentially clinically relevant RMCs, with as much reducing the patient dose.

AB  - Objective: This study aims to determine and compare the dental pulp and gingival blood flow in patients referred for oropharyngeal radiotherapy (RT) at three different time points: before the start, immediately after, and six months following the completion of RT. The aim is also to evaluate the dependence of the pulp and gingival blood flow on the radiation dose. Methodology: A prospective study included 10 patients referred for intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) in the oropharyngeal region, with at least one intact tooth surrounded by a healthy gingiva. The dose received by each selected tooth and adjacent gingiva was determined according to the map of treatment planning and computer systems. The blood flow measurements were performed using the laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) method. Results: Comparing vascular flows at three different time points, the median blood flow in the dental pulp showed no statistically significant difference (p=0.325), contrary to gingiva (p=0.011). Immediately after RT completion, the gingival flow significantly increased compared to its starting point (p=0.012). The pulp flow correlated negatively with the radiation dose, whereas a strong correlation was noted 6 months following the RT completion. Conclusions: RT caused a significant acute gingival blood flow increase, followed by a long-term (over six months) tendency to return to the starting levels. The dental pulp blood flow is differently affected by higher radiation doses (over 50Gy) in comparison to lower doses (below 50Gy). During RT planning, considering the possibility of protecting the teeth localized near the Gross Tumor Volume as a sensitive organ is recommended.

AB  - Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an aggressive benign mass that may arise from various tissues and organs with a great variability of histological and clinical appearances. Due to variable and nonspecific imaging findings, diagnosis of IMT is not obtained before surgery. The aim of this paper is to present CT and MRI findings during four-year follow-up of complete, spontaneous regression of IMT of the uterus. The diagnosis was made by histology and immunohistochemistry analysis of the open excisional biopsy specimen. At that time, the organ of origin was not specified. After analysis of the follow-up imaging findings and the mode of tumor regression, the uterus was proclaimed as the probable site of origin. IMT of the uterus is extremely rare and has been reported in ten cases up to now. The gradual, complete regression of uterine IMT documented by CT and MRI may contribute to understanding of its nature.
