Understanding the prevalence and characteristics of CO is essential for early detection and appropriate management.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective:<\/jats:title>\n To determine the prevalence and characteristics of condensing osteitis among the Saudi population in the Qassim region.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A retrospective study was conducted using 876 digital panoramic radiographs. The presence of CO was identified based on specific radiographic features, and data were collected regarding gender, age, lesion localization, lesion shape, and associated dental status.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The prevalence of CO was found to be 2.3% (n = 20) in the study population, with a higher predilection in females (1.4%) compared to males (0.9%). The most commonly affected age group was 30\u201339 years for males and 10\u201319 and 30\u201339 years for females. The mandibular molar region was predominantly affected (90%), with a \u2018U\u2019 shape observed in 55% of the lesions. Root canal treatment was the most commonly associated dental status (75%), followed by deep caries (20%) and large restorations (5%).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The study highlights a 2.3% prevalence of CO in the Saudi population of the Qassim region, with a higher predilection in females and a predominant localization in the mandibular molar region. Dental practitioners should be vigilant in identifying CO, especially in at-risk populations, to facilitate timely diagnosis and appropriate management.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_392_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,2]],"date-time":"2024-08-02T02:12:20Z","timestamp":1722564740000},"page":"S2661-S2663","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Prevalence and Pattern of Mandibular Condensing Osteitis Lesions in Saudi Population at Qassim Region"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Manal M.","family":"Abdelhafeez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Qassim University, Buraydah, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, October University for Modern Sciences and Arts, October City, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felwah M.","family":"Alrasheed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Dental Clinics, College of Dentistry, Qassim University, Buraydah, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"R2-20240829","first-page":"50","article-title":"Condensing osteitis: A comprehensive review and a new classification","volume":"64","author":"Noffke","year":"2009","journal-title":"S Afr Dent J"},{"key":"R5-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"707","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cden.2008.05.005","article-title":"What is cone-beam CT and how does it work?","volume":"52","author":"Scarfe","year":"2008","journal-title":"Dent Clin North Am"},{"key":"R6-20240829","first-page":"226","article-title":"Radiographic investigation of idiopathic osteosclerosis of the jaws in Japanese dental outpatients","volume":"30","author":"Oda","year":"2001","journal-title":"Dentomaxillofac Radiol"},{"key":"R7-20240829","first-page":"223","article-title":"Radiographic study of idiopathic osteosclerosis of the jaws","volume":"29","author":"Takahashi","year":"2000","journal-title":"Dentomaxillofac Radiol"},{"key":"R8-20240829","first-page":"736","article-title":"Radiographic features of idiopathic osteosclerosis and condensing osteitis","volume":"88","author":"Kawai","year":"1999","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod"},{"key":"R9-20240829","first-page":"e22234","article-title":"Prevalence and pattern of idiopathic osteosclerosis and condensing osteitis in a Saudi subpopulation","volume":"14","author":"Al-Habib","year":"2022","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"R10-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"322","DOI":"10.4103\/1735-3327.187880","article-title":"Frequency and pattern of idiopathic osteosclerosis and condensing osteitis lesions in panoramic radiography of Iranian patients","volume":"13","author":"Farhadi","year":"2016","journal-title":"Dent Res J (Isfahan)"}],"container-title":["Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_392_24","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,27]],"date-time":"2026-08-27T14:00:39Z","timestamp":1787839239000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_392_24"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,7]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Suppl 3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_392_24","relation":{},"ISSN":["0976-4879","0975-7406"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0976-4879","type":"print"},{"value":"0975-7406","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,7]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-04-07","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-04-14","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
