In this study, we formulate a new proposal that complements previous classifications in order to assist dental practitioners in performing a differential diagnosis based on patients' radiographs. We used general search engines and specialized databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, MedLine Plus, Science Direct, Scopus, and well-recognized textbooks to find relevant studies by using keywords such as "jaw disease," "jaw lesions," "radiolucent rim," "radiolucent border," and "radiolucent halo." More than 200 articles were found, of which 70 were broadly relevant to the topic. We ultimately included 50 articles that were closely related to the topic of interest. When the relevant data were compiled, the following eight lesions were identified as having a radiolucent rim: periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia, focal cemento-osseous dysplasia, florid cemento-osseous dysplasia, cemento-ossifying fibroma, osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, odontoma, and cementoblastoma. We propose a novel subcategory, jaw lesions with a radiolucent rim, which includes eight entities. The implementation of this new category can help improve the diagnoses that dental practitioners make based on patients' radiographs.

유방촬영은 날로 증가추세에 있으며 압박을 통해 영상을 얻는 것이 화질을 향상시키고 피폭선량을 줄이는데 필수적이다. 그러나 압박대 자체의 두께로 인해 산란선과 피폭선량을 증가시킬 수 있으므로 압박대 재질에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 현재 임상에서 쓰이고 있는 재질은 폴리카보네이트이며 플라스틱 계열이다. 환자의 피폭선량을 줄이기 위해 노력한다면 이보다 더 좋은 재질에 대해 고려해볼 필요가 있기에 본 연구에서는 플라스틱 계열 물질 중 비결정성 플라스틱에 대한 방사선투과성에 대해 비교해 보았다. 결과 방사선투과성 및 반가층, 투과 선량의 Pixel값이 HIPS, GPPS, ABS, Tritan, PC, PMMA 순으로 높은 결과를 보였다.

The author studied the age distribution, etiology, affected site and several radiographic features of periapical granulomas, cysts, and abscesses. The material consisted of 928 films obtained from the patients who were diagnosed and treated under the diagnosis of periapical granulomas, cysts, and abscesses during the past 8 years (1979-1986) at the Infirmary of Dental School, Chosun University. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The order of incidence was as follows: periapical abscess (67.2%), granuloma, and cyst. 2. The age distribution revealed the highest incidence around the age of 30 and relatively higher incidence over the age of 60 in the case of periapical abscess and granuloma. 3. In the frequency of location: Periapical abscesses occured most frequently in the mandibular molars. Granulomas showed relatively higher incidence in maxilla than in mandible. Cysts were most common in the maxillary anterior teeth. 4. The mean diameter of dental granuloma was 5.9㎜, however, all dental granulomas were less than 9.3㎜ in diameter. The mean diameter of periapical cyst was l3.8㎜. 5. Periapical cyst revealed well circumscribed radiolucent lesions and 77.8% of the lesion showed white line. 86.0% of dental granuloma showed well circumscribed border, 54.5% sclerosis on surrounding bone and 38.5% partial white line. Periapical abscess revealed diffuse radiolucent lesion, 89.6% of the lesions had sclerosis on surrounding bone, and 38.0% sinus tract.

The success or failure of endosseous dental implants is related to the cellular activity at the implant surface. Success seems to be associated with the enclosure of the implant in a non-inflammed connective tissue or the formation of a direct bone implant interface. The purpose of this study was to examine the tissue reactions to the various implants at the submergible state in dog mandible. The $Br\"{a}nemark$, Core-Vent, Intergral, Bone spiral were selected for evaluation and also the Kimplant, Nephrite were used for the experimental study. After 4 months the animals were sacrificed. The interface zone between bone and implant was investigated using x-rays, light microscope, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope. The following results were obtained from this study. 1. $Br\"{a}nemark$, Core-Vent, Kimplant, Integral showed no mobility and bone growth over the healing screws of the implants. Histologically most of the implant surface were covered by remodelled lamellar bone, and partly by a cellular layer or the thin fibrous tissue layer. 2. The Bone spiral showed no mobility and partially radiolucent line around the implant. The upper part of the implant was surrounded by a thin fibrous connective tissue and the middle, apical part of it were contacted with bone directly. 3. The Nephrite implant showed severe mobility and a radiolucent line around the implant. Histologically it showed mild inflammation and was surrounded by a fibrous connective tissue. 4. Scanning electron microscope showed that there was no amorphous ground substance in the Nephrite implant but the formation of ground substance over the collagen filaments in other implants. 5. Transmission electron microscope showed that collagen filaments were approached irregularly to the surface of all implants and in the $Br\"{a}nemark$, Core-Vent, Kimplant, Integral there was amorphous layer between the implant and the collagen filaments. It seemed to be ground substances.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a true osteogenic neoplasm. It is also called as ossifying fibroma or cementify-ing fibroma. Small lesions seldom cause any symptoms and are detected only on radiographic examination. Large lesions result in a painless swelling of the involved bone. In radiographic features the lesion most often is well defined and unilocular. It may appear completely radiolucent, or more often varying degrees of rdiopacity. It is composed of fibrous tissue that contains a variable mixture of bony trabeculae,cementum-like spherules, or both. Treatment of most lesions generally is enucleation of tumor. However, some lesions which have grown large and destroyed considerable bone, may necessitate surgical resection and bone grafting. This case was the bony lesion that was found by accident in patient with mandibular left body and subcondylar fracture. In radiographic examination, there was a mixed radiolucent and radiopaque lesion in mandibular left body area with fracture line. We treated on mandibular left body and subcondylar fracture and enucleated the lesion on the left body area simultaneously. At surgical exploration, the lesion was well demarcated from the surrounding bone, thus permitting relatively easy separation of the tumor from its bony bed. In histopathologic examination, the lesion contained bony trabeculae and cementum-like spherules within a background of cellular fibrous connective tissue. It finally diagnosed as cemento-ossify-ing fibroma from the result of biopsy.

The benign cementoblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor of cemental-forming tissue, which has an unlimited growth potential. The radiographic appearance of the lesion is pathognomonic and consists of a radiopaque mass surrounded by a thin radiolucent line. This mass is inseparable, radiologically, from the tooth root and is attached to it. Microscopic evaluation suggests that the lesion enlarges by peripheral growth, with the center of the neoplasm being more calcified and inactive than the periphery. We have observed two cases of beneign cementoblastoma{mature calcified stage) occured in the left mandibular first molar of 22-year-old man and 14-year-old man.

This study was performed to determine the each location of lesions in the maxillary sinus and to evaluate the relationship between the floor of the antrum and the apical regions of teeth by the comparison of the panoramic view and panoramic sinus view. For this study, experimentally with two dry skulls, jelly balls of 8mm and 15mm in diameter containing a short wire for the radiopacity similar to the cyst and clinically 5 patients having mucosal cyst in the antrum and 10 patients having periapical lesion of molar were used. The experimental cystic lesions were simulated with jelly ball being attached in turn to each wall of the antrum. The radiolucent periapical lesions of upper molars were formed by using round bur and the radiopaque periapical lesions were simulated by filling the former lesions with lead foil. Each panoramic view and each panoramic sinus view of the experimental lesions and patients were obtained by using panoramic machine and analyzed. The obtained results were as follows : 1. On the panoramic sinus view, the innominate line was approximately coincided with the most lateral portion of the antrum and the posterior wall appeared as the narrow area at the mesial side of the innominate line. The anterior wall occupied totally the mesial side of the innominate line, and the medial wall occupied the mesial half of the antrum. 2. In all cases of experimental cystic lesion attached to each wall of the antrum, the location of each lesion was able to be determined by applying Tube shift technic. 3. The palatal root and mesiobuccal root of the molar appeared as being transposed each other mesiolaterally on the panoramic and panoramic sinus views. 4. The panoramic sinus view was superior to the panoramic view in revealing the relationship between the floor of the antrum and the periapical lesion.

Purpose: We report on the 10-year clinical hip function and radiologic outcomes of patients who underwent hip arthroplasty using a COREN stem. Materials and Methods: A consecutive series of 224 primary cementless hip arthroplasty implantations were performed using a COREN stem between 2009 and 2011; among these, evaluation of 128 hips was performed during a minimum follow-up period of 10 years. The mean age of patients was 65.4 years (range, 40-82 years) and the mean duration of follow-up was 10.8 years (range, 10-12 years). Evaluation of clinical hip function and radiologic implant outcomes was performed according to clinical score, thigh pain, and radiologic analysis. Results: Dramatic improvement of the mean Harris hip score (HHS) from 59.4 preoperatively to 93.5 was observed at the final follow-up (P≤0.01). Stable fixation was demonstrated for all implants with no change in position except for one case of Vancouver type B2 periprosthetic femur fracture. A radiolucent line (RLL) was observed in 16 hips (12.5%). Thigh pain was observed in only two hips (1.6%) at the final follow-up. There were no cases of osteolysis around the stem. The survival rate for the COREN stem was 97.7%. Conclusion: Good long-term survival with excellent clinical and radiological outcomes can be achieved using the COREN femoral stem regardless of Dorr type.
