Introductory lecture:
Imaging approach for characterization of intraosseous jaw lesions.
Biljana Markovic Vasiljkovic
Abstract
The wide spectrum of lytic, sclerotic as well as mixed density jaw bone lesions have mostly nonspecific clinical presentation. Based upon this broad categorization of imaging appearance and some specific imaging signs, diagnosis of a particulate focal lesion or at least a narrow differential diagnosis is established. Since the diagnostic approach starts with an ortopantomography (OPG), dentists are placed with the burden of detecting, interpreting, formulating of a narrow differential diagnosis, and finally selecting the next imaging modality if necessary. At the same time, knowing the advantages and limitations of widely used Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), and carefully selecting patients for medical CT is a crucial step aiding appropriate management decisions. The aim of this key note lecture is to familiarize dentists with challenges in everyday clinical practice, differential diagnostic dilemmas and ways of finding the best solutions.
