Primary intraosseous carcinoma of mandible
Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology, 2009 Primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the jaw which is locally aggressive with poor prognosis. These tumors are believed to arise from the odontogenic epithelium and hence are referred to as odontogenic carcinomas.

Recurrent convolutional neural networks for mandible segmentation from computed tomography [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Recently, accurate mandible segmentation in CT scans based on deep learning methods has attracted much attention. However, there still exist two major challenges, namely, metal artifacts among mandibles and large variations in shape or size among individuals.

Prediction of mandibular ORN incidence from 3D radiation dose distribution maps using deep learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Background. Absorbed radiation dose to the mandible is an important risk factor in the development of mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with radiotherapy (RT). The prediction of mandibular ORN may not only guide the RT treatment planning optimisation process but also identify which patients would benefit

Is cone-beam computed tomography diagnostic for anterior Stafne bone cyst: Report of a rare case
Dental Hypotheses, 2015 Introduction: The incidence of anterior Stafne bone cyst (lingual mandibular bone defect, static bone cyst, latent bone cyst, developmental submandibular gland defect of the mandible) has been estimated to between 0.009% and 0.3%.

Smooth Extrapolation of Unknown Anatomy via Statistical Shape Models [PDF]
In Medical Imaging 2015: Image-Guided Procedures, Robotic
Interventions, and Modeling 2015 Mar 18 (Vol. 9415, p. 941524). International
Society for Optics and Photonics, 2019 Several methods to perform extrapolation of unknown anatomy were evaluated. The primary application is to enhance surgical procedures that may use partial medical images or medical images of incomplete anatomy. Le Fort-based, face-jaw-teeth transplant is one such procedure. From CT data of 36 skulls and 21 mandibles separate Statistical Shape Models of
