Summary
Haller cells, extensions of ethmoid cells, were found in 22.8% of individuals using panoramic radiography. This cost-effective imaging method can help identify Haller cells, which are linked to orofacial pain.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Otolaryngology
- Anatomy
Background:
- Haller cells are ethmoid cell extensions visualized via imaging.
- A link exists between Haller cells and idiopathic orofacial pain.
- A cost-effective imaging method for Haller cell detection is needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the prevalence of Haller cells using panoramic radiography.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective analysis of 403 individuals' panoramic radiographs.
- Interpretation for Haller cell presence, gender distribution, site, unilocularity/multilocularity, and shape.
- Statistical analysis using the Chi-square test.
Main Results:
- Haller cells were present in 92 (22.8%) individuals.
- Prevalence was higher in females (27.8%) than males (18.5%).
- Most Haller cells were unilocular (80.4%), tear-shaped (48.9%), and located on the right side (43.5%).
Conclusions:
- Panoramic radiography is a cost-effective method for assessing Haller cell prevalence.
- The study found a 22.8% prevalence of Haller cells.

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
