EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a benign dental tumour, specifically a cemento-ossifying fibroma, found in the lower jaw of a 35-year-old patient. The coloured computed tomography (CT) scans vividly display this non-cancerous growth in shades of purple. The cemento-ossifying fibroma is characterized by an abnormal development of the cementum, which is responsible for protecting the tooth roots. This condition poses no threat to overall health but requires medical attention due to its impact on oral function and aesthetics. The image offers valuable insights into dentistry and diagnostic medicine, highlighting the importance of radiography and CT scanning techniques in identifying such disorders. By utilizing an X-ray machine and CT scan technology, healthcare professionals can accurately diagnose conditions affecting the mandible or lower jaw. With its focus on a specific age group (thirties), this photograph emphasizes that dental issues can arise at any stage of adulthood. It serves as a reminder that regular check-ups are crucial for maintaining oral health throughout one's life. In conclusion, this visually striking print not only captures the beauty within scientific imagery but also sheds light on an uncommon yet significant dental disorder. Its presence in ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY signifies its value as an educational resource rather than being associated with commercial use.
