   MeSH:	RADIATION DOSE RADIOGRAPHY, DENTAL
   Abstract:	Even low doses of radiation have the potential to cause biologic harm by way of stochastic effects, those, like carcinogenesis, whose probability of occurrence is dependent on radiation dose. Effective radiation doses range from 4-16 μSv for panoramic radiographs to 33-150 μSv for a full-mouth intraoral series, depending on exact technique used. Effective doses from cone-beam CT vary significantly, depending on the specifi c equipment used, but in general are much higher than for panoramic radiographs but less than for multidetector CT. Methods to reduce the dose from dental x-ray examinations include the use of selection criteria to determine whether a radiograph is needed, the use of fast image receptors, and increased beam collimation, particularly for children.

   MeSH:	ORTHODONTICS, CORRECTIVE RADIOGRAPHY, DENTAL
   Abstract:	After standardisation of radiographic technique during the 1930s the importance of soft tissues were of secondary importance and dentoskeletal relations became the decisive factor in facial analysis. However, at the beginning the 1960s it was observed that the relation between soft tissues and skeletal structures could differ considerably. The many investigations engaged in the psychological aspect of malocclusion indicated that the patient should not be treated exclusively in accordance with rigid dentoskeletal standards. More recently, when planning therapy, orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons increasingly consider the soft tissues and rely more on the clinical condition than on cephalometric analysis, in view of the fact that exclusive reliance on cephalometric analysis can occasionally lead to an undesired facial appearance. Through a review of the literature the investigations of authors has been presented who have been engaged in the study and analysis of soft tissues, influence of orthodontic treatment on soft tissues and changes in soft tissues which occur as a result of growth and development.

   Abstract:	Age estimation in children is a fundamental question in forensic medicine, paediatric endocrinology and orthodontic treatment. Several methods deal with their age estimation, including methods based on bone and on tooth development. Since several authors have shown that odontological methods can differ in accuracy when different populations are considered, this paper focuses on improvement of the method developed by Cameriere et al., extending it to a larger sample of children belonging to several European regions - 505 Italian, 304 Kossovan and 291 Slovenian children, and investigates the efficiency of the method when various populations are pooled together. Correlation coefficients were evaluated between age and predictive variables. Statistical analysis was performed with the S-PLUS 6 statistical program (S-PLUS 6.1 for Windows, Professional Edition, Release 1). The significance threshold was set at 5%. Statistical analysis indicated that gender, sum of normalized open apices and number of teeth with complete root development have a significant influence on age estimation. Belonging to various European regions did not have a significant influence on model parameters.

   Title in Croatian:	Intraoralno mikrodenzitometrijsko ispitivanje gustoće kosti
   Type of Article:	original scientific paper
   MeSH:	DENSITOMETRY BONE AND BONES RADIOGRAPHY, DENTAL
   Abstract:	The precision of a method of microdensitometry on digitized images, using six step copper stepwedge (SW), was studied. Two retroalveolar radiographs were made for each of the six examined patients. Lynotype-Hell (8-bit, 300DPI) transparent scanner was used to scan the radiographs. All the images were, prior to the measurements, inverted. The digitized radiographs were saved in the Issa-program for archiving radiographs, while the optical density (OD) was measured by using software Scion image for 6 steps of the SW and 7 regions of interest (ROI). The gray levels (GLs) were converted into the ODs for both images by formula OD = -log Ii /255, where Ii = measured intensity. ODs of each step of the SW were correlated with the copper thickness of the related step and the regression formula was thus derived from the relationship of the OD and the actual thickness of the related step through the third degree polynomial function. The results revealed that the method detects mineral bone changes, i.e. OD changes, which surpass more than 7% of density on the images.
