Diagnosis and Treatment of Dental Diseases and Tempromandibular Joints
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Contemporary diagnostic imaging plays an important role both in the emergency management of painful lesions and treatment process of the orofacial region. In this field, dental diseases must be mentioned as a source of the most common medical issues where dental-focused X-rays are most commonly used. Panoramic X-rays are an extension of the aforementioned techniques where surrounding bone including temporomandibular joints can be assessed. Micro computed tomography (micro CT) is a modality with a slightly higher ionizing radiation dose but with excellent spatial resolution that is useful in the assessment of tissue adjacent to the tooth and innermost tooth structure. Another frequent causative factor of pain in the orofacial region is morbidities or dysfunction of temporomandibular joints. The diagnostic process in this case relies on clinical examination with the aid of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance (MR). US is excellent in dynamic real time assessment of TMJ function that can be diagnostically supported by MR if the analysis of metabolic process-related changes is needed. In this Special Issue, we would like connect the knowledge of diagnostic imaging professionals including radiologists with dental professionals and specialists in the field of orthodontics with a special focus on dental problems and temporomandibular joints diseases. We also want to emphasize our interest in artificial intelligence, which is bridging the advances of modern technology with medicine in order to help medical professionals in diagnostic and treatment processes. We believe that the scientific discussion in our Special Issue will be a source of knowledge for professionals of various medical disciplines focused on scientific development with benefits for the patient.
