Radiographic features of enostosis determined with limited cone-beam computed tomography in comparison with rotational panoramic radiography

摘要

Radiographic findings of enostosis often resemble those of focal condensing osteomyelitis of inflammatory origin, and the location and state of these lesions cannot be precisely diagnosed using rotational panoramic radiography. Consequently, a differential diagnosis approach is required. This study examined the situation and characteristics of mandibular enostosis using limited cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in comparison with rotational panoramic radiography.
