<body> DDMFR.NET - Differential Diagnosis in Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology Differential Diagnosis in Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology needs a browser supporting frames. Authors K. Tsiklakis DDS, MSc, PhD Professor and Chairman, Oral Diagnosis and Radiology Department, School of Dentistry, University of Athens C. H. Stamatakis DDS, MSc, PhD Oral Diagnosis and Radiology Department, School of Dentistry, University of Athens K. Syriopoulos DDS, MSc, PhD Oral Radiology Department, ACTA, The Netherlands The DDMFR.NET project The aim of this site is to develop a complete dynamic educational tool in a form of an open internet resource featuring almost all pathological entities found in the radiographic examination of the maxillofacial region, with special focus on the differential diagnosis in oral and maxillofacial radiology. What does DDMFR.NET offer? DDMFR.NET is a multipurpose educational tool for the undergraduate and the postgraduate students, the educators and the professional dentists: It will help the undergraduate students to comprehend the basic principles of the classification of jaw lesions and further develop basic understanding and skills for differential diagnosis. It will help the postgraduate students to develop essential skills for differential diagnosis being able to expand their knowledge through case presentations of various complexity. It provides the educators reference and digital material for the teaching of differential diagnosis at different levels and the construction of Reusable Learning Objects. Dentists are offered a handy and always accessible resource on the classification of oral lesions, their radiographic appearance and features, and an assisting tool for the differential diagnosis of cases that they deal with at their practices. Finally, a search tool is implemented that helps to easily find references to specific keywords within the site. The main menu items of the website are: Basic principles Radiolucencies periapical pericoronal interradicular circumscribed multiple multilocular ill-defined generalized rarefactions Mixed lesions Radiopacities periapical focal multiple & generalized Undocumented cases pulpal origin non pulpal origin periapical & pericoronal diffused & generalized Contributors Contact us The categories of the jaw lesions currently in the database are: Principles of description and localization of bony lesions affecting the jaws Radiolucencies Radiopacities Mixed lesions An Unused main or sub-category An Unused main or sub- category Undocumented cases An Unused main or sub-category Relative radiodensity and internal structure of the lesion Size and location of the lesion Shape of the lesion Borders of the lesion Effects on surrounding bone Effects on the bony cortex Effects on adjacent teeth Periosteal reaction Periapical radiolucencies of non pulpal origin Periapical lesions of pulpal origin Pericoronal radiolucencies Interradicular radiolucencies Circumscribed radiolucencies Multilocular radiolucencies Multiple radiolucencies Ill defined radiolucencies Generalized rarefactions Periapical radiopacities Focal radiopacities Multiple / Generalized radiopacities Periapical / Pericoronal mixed lesions Diffused & Generalized mixed lesions Undocumented cases The pathological conditions in the database are currently: Periapical Granuloma Radicular cyst Surgical defect Apical abscess Osteomyelitis, periapical Cementoma (periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia) 1st stage Lateral periodontal cyst Cementoma (periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia) 2nd stage Dental follicle Pericoronitis Inflammatory paradental cyst (IPC) Dentigerous (follicular) cyst Mural ameloblastoma Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) Ameloblastic fibroma Odontoma (radiopacity) Multiple myeloma Langerhans cell histiocytosis Multiple cysts of the jaws Metastatic tumors (multiple) Hyperparathyreoidism Osteoporosis Leukemia Thalassemia Osteomalacia - Rickets Sickle cell anemia Ameloblastoma (multilocular) Odontogenic keratocyst (multilocular) Odontogenic myxoma Giant cell granuloma, central (multilocular) Aneurysmal bone cyst Cherubism Malignant lymphoma (multilocular) Odontogenic fibroma, central Hemangioma, central Nasopalatine duct cyst Globulomaxillary cyst Traumatic (solitary) bone cyst Lateral radicular cyst Periodontitis Eosinophilic granuloma Fibrous dysplasia (radiopacity) Osteogenic sarcoma (ill defined) Chondrosarcoma (ill defined) Ewing sarcoma Squamous cell carcinoma Chronic osteomyelitis (ill defined) Osteoradionecrosis (ill defined) Malignant salivary gland tumors Fibrous dysplasia (ill defined) Osteopetrosis Florid osseous dysplasia Paget disease (mixed) Ameloblastoma (circumscribed) Undocumented Case 2 Calcifying odontogenic cyst (Gorlin cyst) Bone marrow space Tooth crypt (early stage) Residual cyst (circumscribed) Stafne’s bone cavity (Lingual salivary gland depression) Odontogenic Keratocyst (circumscribed) Cemento-Ossifying fibroma (1st stage) Benign tumors of neural origin Chronic Osteomyelitis (mixed) Idiopathic osteosclerosis (dense bone island) Foreign bodies (periapical) Multiple impacted teeth Paradental cyst Tori and exostoses Hypercementosis Cementoma (periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia) 3rd stage Condensing osteitis Osteoma and exostoses Osteochondroma Cementoblastoma Cemento-Ossifying fibroma (2nd stage) Cemento-Ossifying fibroma (3rd stage) Root remnants Soft tissue calcifications Mucosal retention cyst Metastatic tumors (ill defined) Other periapical pathological conditions Giant cell granuloma, central (circumscribed) Foreign bodies (focal) Metastatic tumors (mixed) Fibrous dysplasia (mixed) Malignant lymphoma (ill defined) Osteogenic sarcoma (mixed) Chondrosarcoma (mixed) Undocumented Case 1 Primordial (keratocyst) Odontoma (mixed lesion) Osteoradionecrosis (mixed) Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) (mixed) Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor (CEOT) Socket sclerosis Sclerosing Osteomyelitis Foreign bodies (multiple) Paget disease 3rd stage Osteogenesis imperfecta </body>
