2. Odontogenic keratocyst - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odontogenic_keratocyst

   Odontogenic keratocysts are usually noted as incidental radiographic findings. Radiographically they can be seen as unilocular or multilocular radiolucencies. They can be mistaken for other cysts such as residual cysts or a dentigerous cyst if they occur over an unerupted tooth. [8] Relative incidence of odontogenic cysts. [9]

3. Buccal object rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buccal_object_rule

   In 1909, Charles A. Clark described a radiographic procedure for localizing impacted teeth to determining their relative antero-posterior position. [1] If the two teeth (or, by extension, any two objects, such as a tooth and a foreign object) are located in front of one another relative to the x-ray beam, they will appear superimposed on one another on a dental radiograph, but it will be ...

4. Odontoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odontoma

   As with normal tooth development, odontomas stop growing once mature which makes them benign. [6] The average age of people found with an odontoma is 14. [7] The condition is frequently associated with one or more unerupted teeth and is often detected through failure of teeth to erupt at the expected time. Though most cases are found impacted ...

5. Dental radiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_radiography

   Dental radiographs, commonly known as X-rays, are radiographs used to diagnose hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities. A radiographic image is formed by a controlled burst of X-ray radiation which penetrates oral structures at different levels, depending on varying anatomical densities, before striking the ...

6. Dentigerous cyst - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentigerous_cyst

   [2] [3] [4] It is formed when there is an alteration in the reduced enamel epithelium and encloses the crown of an unerupted tooth at the cemento-enamel junction. Fluid is accumulated between reduced enamel epithelium and the crown of an unerupted tooth. Dentigerous cysts are the second [5] most prevalent type of odontogenic cysts after ...

7. Oral and maxillofacial radiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_and_maxillofacial...

   ConeBeam computerized tomography image of a post-operative orthognathic surgery. Oral and maxillofacial radiology, also known as dental and maxillofacial radiology, or even more common DentoMaxilloFacial Radiology, is the specialty of dentistry concerned with performance and interpretation of diagnostic imaging used for examining the craniofacial, dental and adjacent structures.

8. Ameloblastoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameloblastoma

   The neoplasms are often associated with the presence of unerupted teeth, displacement of adjacent teeth and resorption of roots. [10] Symptoms include a slow-growing, painless swelling leading to facial deformity. As the swelling gets progressively larger it can impinge on other structures resulting in loose teeth and malocclusion. Bone can ...

9. Regional odontodysplasia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_odontodysplasia

   Treatment and prognosis are usually based upon keeping these teeth and preserving the alveolus. For erupted teeth, endodontics is an option if the tooth is devitalized and restorable. For unerupted teeth, function can be restored with a removable partial denture until all major growth has been completed and a final restoration can be placed. [2]
