A color contrast aided density imaging technique to differentiate between dental hard tissues and its relevance
Aim: Radiographic interpretation of a disease requires knowledge about normal structures. The calcifying jaw diseases can range from radiolucent areas to varying degrees of calcification. Therefore, it is vital to differentiate radiographically between various hard tissues. Materials and Methods:...

| description | Aim: Radiographic interpretation of a disease requires knowledge about normal structures. The calcifying jaw diseases can range from radiolucent areas to varying degrees of calcification. Therefore, it is vital to differentiate radiographically between various hard tissues.
Materials and Methods: We have illustrated the use of computed tomography scan to quantify the calcified structures as dentin and enamel in a case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma.
Results: The enamel, dentin and cementum showed different values.
Conclusion: The "Dentascan" can be used to distinguish the hard tissues in a variety of calcifying diseases of jaws. |
