Bilateral Pseudojoints of the Coronoid Process (Jacob Disease): Report of a Case and Review of the LiteratureEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Jacob disease, or osteochondroma of the mandibular coronoid process, is a benign skeletal tumor that is a rare entity in the oral and maxillofacial region. Though first noted by Langenbeck in 1853 as an enlargement of the mandibular coronoid process, the first case report was described by Jacob in 1899, who reported a pseudojoint between the coronoid process and the zygomatic arch due to an osteochondroma formation of the coronoid process. At present, there have been 35 known cases of this condition. This case report presents an additional number to that group.

Malocclusions Resulting From Loss of Fixation After Sagittal Split Ramus OsteotomiesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Sagittal split ramus osteotomy of the mandible (SSRO) is perhaps the most common mandibular osteotomy performed around the world. The broad area of bone overlap that occurs with this procedure facilitates the application of stable internal fixation devices. The SSRO is currently stabilized by the use of positional screws and/or miniplates. Typically, 3 positional screws are used that engage the buccal cortex of the proximal segment and the lingual cortex of the distal segment. The miniplate technique, introduced by Michelet et al, uses miniplates with monocortical screws attached to the buccal cortex of the proximal and distal segments.

Management of a Difficult Airway With Direct Ventilation Through Nasal Airway Without FacemaskEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Mask ventilation is a key component of airway management for oral surgeons and anesthesia care providers. Clinicians often encounter a difficult airway in which adequate mask ventilation may be difficult or impossible. Difficult mask ventilation has been described as the inability for an experienced anesthesiologist to provide adequate face mask ventilation because of one or more of the following problems: inadequate mask seal, excessive gas leak, or excessive resistance to the ingress or egress of gas. Although the exact pathogenesis of the difficult airway is not clearly defined, the presence of upper airway obstruction ...

New Transference Technique of Position of Mandibular Reconstructing Plates Using Stereolithographic ModelsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Stereolithographic models are commonly used to adapt reconstructive plates in patients who will undergo mandibular resection. However, the published reports have not explained exactly how to accurately transport this plate to the patient. The purpose of our report is to illustrate a new transference technique of mandibular reconstructing plates from the stereolithographic model to the patient, without the need for testing it before tumor resection. This technique involves coating the stereolithographic model with an acrylic guide that covers the dental pieces and also impresses the mandibular reconstructive plate (Fariña'...

Comparison Between Dexmedetomidine and Remifentanil for Intraoperative Controlled HypotensionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We read with great interest the study report by Farah et al, comparing 2 pharmacologic protocols (Clonidine associated with remifentanil and dexmedetomidine associated with isoflurane) for induced arterial hypotension in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. The authors showed that no significant differences were present between the 2 protocols regarding intraoperative blood pressure, heart rate, surgical bleeding, and awakening and extubation time. Moreover, 10 patients in the Clonidine-remifentanil group required esmolol to control the heart rate versus 2 patients in the dexmedetomidine-isoflurane group.

In replyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Miloglu and Hororli are absolutely right when they point out that an HU value of 0 corresponds to water, whereas the HU value for air is defined as −1,000. We measured values from −1,024 to −865 HU for the surrounding air in computer tomographic image data. This is an error in our report that escaped our proofreading. We accept the responsibility for the error, and we want to thank Miloglu and Harorli for their diligent reading. Hence, the first paragraph of the Results section (page 1882) should be corrected.

Temporomandibular Joint Pain and Synovial Fluid Analysis: A Review of the LiteratureEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The pathophysiology of temporomandibular joint pain is not well understood. A significant amount of research has been conducted to evaluate synovial fluid in these patients and in healthy controls. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the synovial fluid have shown a significant difference between these groups. A multitude of inflammatory mediators and degradation products have been identified. The concentration of these products has been shown to correlate with several clinical parameters including pain, chronicity, severity of degenerative change, and response to treatment. A common inflammatory pathway would appear t...

An Unusual Presentation of an Odontogenic Keratocyst in the Buccal Space: Case ReportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Odontogenic keratocysts occur predominately in the mandible and maxilla. There are reports of gingival cysts with the histologic features of odontogenic keratocysts that have been termed peripheral odontogenic keratocyst. The location of these cysts in the gingiva supports the concept of their genesis from remnants of the dental lamina found in the gingiva or from the basal cells of the oral epithelium. There are also reports of odontogenic keratocysts in the soft tissues of the head and neck having spread from the maxilla or mandible and cutaneous keratocysts associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. There is ...

Degrees of Tolerance in Post-Traumatic Orbital Volume Correction: The Role of Prefabricated MeshEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Volumetric and lineal symmetry between fractured and normal orbits are very difficult to achieve. In this study, postoperative CT measurements did not correlate with subjective clinical assessment. The clinical-radiological disagreement may be explained by measurement accuracy problems, clinical bias, or normal differences between orbits. The most important identified modifiable factor was the use of prefabricated mesh.

As an art it brings health and beauty to our patients, but as with all art, its results are only measured by the pleasure of its viewers.

CONCLUSIONS: The literature reviewed shows that occupational exposure to formaldehyde may be associated with an increased risk of nasopharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. The results regarding other occupational exposures are not consistent, therefore additional studies with more statistical power and better design are needed to ascertain if occupation is really a relevant risk factor for these types of cancer.
