Las imágenes radiopacas que se presentan en Radiología Oral y Maxilofacial son de etiología multifactorial, dentro de este grupo de imágenes conocidas como Condensaciones Oseas (CO) se encuentra la Osteoesclerosis Idiopática (OI), inicialmente reportada por Stieda en el año 1905 y ratificado por Fischer en el año 19121, definida desde sus inicios como un área focal,2 es importante el diagnóstico diferencial para no confundirla con otras radiopacidades óseas presentes en los maxilares sobre todo en la mandíbula;3-8 puede presentarse también en diferentes partes del esqueleto humano, siendo más frecuente en los huesos largos y huesos de la cadera,3-8 es más común hallarla entre la segunda a la cuarta década de vida, posteriormente es menos frecuente pero también puede presentarse;8,9 estas imágenes de fondo homogéneo radiopaco, de bordes regulares, sin halo o cortical, d...

Objetivo: El propósito de esta investigación fue actualizar las consideraciones para el diagnóstico de la osteoesclerosis idiopática en radiografías panorámicas digitales y tomografía de haz cónico, determinando sus implicancias en la salud oral y general. Métodos: Se realizó las pesquisas en las principales bases de datos de investigación médica estomatológica, utilizando las palabras “osteoesclerosis, radiografía panorámica, tomografía computarizada de haz cónico, mandíbula”. Se identificaron artículos sin restricción de idioma, desde las primeras publicaciones hasta el 30 de septiembre del 2020. Se examinaron la prevalencia, características clínicas y radiográficas en estudios imagenológicos de dos y tres dimensiones, así como su interacción durante los tratamientos realizados en las diversas especialidades estomatológicas. Resultados: La información ob...

Objective: The aim of this study was to update the concepts of the diagnosis of idiopathic osteosclerosis (IO) of the jaws by digital panoramic radiographs and cone beam tomography and describe the impact of this disease on oral and general health. Methods: A search of the main databases of dental medical research was carried out using the search terms “osteosclerosis, panoramic radiography, cone beam computed tomography, jaws”. Articles without language restriction until September 30, 2020, were identified. The prevalence and clinical and radiographic characteristics of IO of the jaws were examined in 2D and 3D imaging studies, as well as the interaction during treatments in the various dental specialties. Results: We analyzed the current situation regarding the diagnosis of IO, with an update of the diagnostic criteria used to accurately identify IO in the latest generation imaging...

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine, describe and identify the prevalence of radiopaque images compatible with idiopathic osteosclerosis in digital panoramic radiographs taken in patients between the ages of 18 and 50. Materials and methods: The study design was descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective. The sample consisted of 500 digital panoramic radiographs taken between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2018, in the target population aged between 18 and 50 years from Ayacucho - Peru, attended at a private radiological center. The radiographs obtained were analyzed using the Romexis viewer version 5.3 program, and the results were recorded on a data collection sheet. The Chi-square test was used to establish associations among the variables evaluated. A P <0.05 was considered significant. Results: 500 digital panoramic radiographs were analyzed, showing a p...

Objective: To compare the angle of the sagittal condylar guidance obtained from the radiographic and clinical records of dentate patients. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 32 patients in whom strict lateral radiography and positional records were performed: in centric relation, protrusive recording 5 mm in right laterality and protrusive recording 5 mm in left laterality. With the positional registration of the facebow, the upper model was articulated, while the lower model was articulated with the positional registration in centric relation, and with the protrusive lateral registrations on the right and left side the condylar guidance was obtained for programming the semi-adjustable articulator. Statistics were performed with the SPSS program version 24 in Spanish. Normality was evaluated using the Shapiro-Wilk test, for data with normal distribution, and the Student's T t...
