Neck dissections should be performed in patients with clinically positive lymph nodes. Concerning interleukin 2 therapy, further studies should be performed in order to evaluate a routine application.

A computed tomography should be made in every case of intraosseous lesion in order to establish the intraosseous extent of the tumor, cortical perforation, and soft tissue involvement for precise guidance for the surgical planning. It is recommended that the surgeon considers excision by an intraoral, lingual approach when indicated, and in two stages, when an extremely thin mandibular base is present.

The symptoms and signs depend on the progression of the lesions and number of affected sites. It is predominantly seen in Indians and other Asians. Once, the disease has developed, there is neither regression nor any effective treatment. It is considered as a pre-malignant stage of oral cancer and reported risk of malignant transformation varies from 2.3-7.6%.The common etiological factor considered for this unremitting disease is use of areca nut; however, the precise pathogenesis still remains elusive and c...

Controversy exists regarding the management of osteoradionecrosis of the maxillofacial skeleton because of the variability of this condition. The treatment of osteoradionecrosis has included local wound care, antibiotic therapy, surgical procedures, and the administration of hyperbaric oxygenation. Recently, new methods of treatment were introduced, according to the new theory about its pathophysiology.

The tooth should be sectioned in such a way as to minimize the extent of bone removal and force caused by instrumentation. The danger of a late jaw fracture can be avoided by precise diagnosis in cases of patients over 25 years of age, particularly men, whose tooth roots are superimposed on or adjacent to the inferior alveolar canal on a panoramic image, any local pathology and systemic disease or medications which may impair bone strength, and patients who present bruxism and are active athletes.

The condition can also “cause” an esthetical deficit in the infraorbital/zygomatic region, which can be resolved with an appositional graft.

Computed tomographic scan should be a routine diagnostic study in all cases with associated missing anatomical structures in the oral and maxillofacial region. The need to involve the dental professional in the initial assessment of dental trauma in emergency rooms in hospitals is important in order to identify how many teeth might be missing after dental trauma and to correctly reposition the avulsed teeth when possible.

Twelve hours after the procedure, left-sided hemiparesis and right-sided facial nerve paresis developed, followed by ulceration and necrosis of the soft palate, diaphragm, and right nasal ala. Reconstruction was implemented with porous polyethylene for the nasal pyramid, a forehead flap and a mucosal flap from the oral vestibulum for polyethylene coverage, and a rotational palatal flap for closure of the oroantral fistula. Exposure of the material occurred after 4 weeks, and removal was followed by satisfactory maintenance of the shape and function of the nose. Postembolization necrosis is a rare complication o...

A modified rhytidectomy incision has been used since 2003 in our department in selected cases of parotid gland tumours. However, there is no mention in bibliography about using facelift approach for treatment of cervical diseases. We have operated on three patients with brachial cysts using this technique. We introduce a clinical case of a 28-year-old woman with a right cervical swelling at the level of the anterior side of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. This technique allows a wide surgical approach. There is no donor-site morbidity, minimum additional operating time, hidden scar and no extra cost, and patients are very satisfied with the results. Content Type Journal ArticleCategor...

Case findings  At 1 year of age, he received urgent tracheostomy because of apnea due to pneumonia. The tracheal cannula could not be removed thereafter due to trismus. Computed tomography (CT) images demonstrate irregular bone formation. However, we could not diagnose osteoarthritis of temporomandibular joint because TMJ adhesion was not clear on CT images. Interventions  Arthroplasty was performed under general anesthesia, but there was no significant improvement. A 3-D plastic model based on intraoperative findings showed that atrophic change of the muscles also disturbed movement of the mandible. Therefore, an additional procedure calle...

These episodes have the potential to result in acute medical and life-threatening emergencies since the beginning of the event or at a late stage in proceeding in the underdiagnosed patient. Prevention of such incidents is, therefore, the best approach via the mandatory use of precautions during all dental procedures, and in case of suspicion with no retrievable material, patient must always be submitted to a radiographic study.

For planning the extent of surgery of malignant parotid tumours, the histological subtype and/or grade should be determined; therefore, a histological diagnosis by frozen section analysis is required. Moreover, reliance on FNA findings at the expense of clinical, radiographic, and intraoperative findings is unwarranted. Regardless of whether FNA is used routinely or selectively in patients with parotid masses, the findings should contribute to, and not replace, the overall diagnostic impression.

Besides the prognostic impact in oral carcinogenesis, this COX-2 role of biomarker for aggressive head and neck squamous cell carcinomas should be further evaluated. Additionally, treatment of hypopharyngeal carcinomas with selective COX-2 inhibitors could be beneficial when administered in combination with radiochemotherapy.

The disease exhibits a dominant autosomal hereditary trait, with implication of the human homologue of the Drosophila segment polarity Patched (PTCH) gene. BCNS is diagnosed on the basis of clinical and radiological criteria and can be confirmed by genetic study. The patient prognosis is very good, with normal life expectancy in most cases.

A few millimeters of cortical bone should remain on both the labial and the lingual sites after the hole for insertion of an implant has been drilled. A 3-D surgical planning should be recommended at least in severe atrophic mandibles in order to prevent a severe reduction of bone tissue.

Daraus resultieren erhebliche Schwierigkeiten der differentialdiagnostischen Zuordnung der verschiedenen klinischen und technischen Befunde. Die Vorstellung der Chondrometaplasie als dreiphasige selbstlimitierende Erkrankung wird untermauert. Es wird vorgeschlagen, bei der Therapie unter Würdigung des benignen Charakters der Erkrankung auf jede unnötige Destruktion zu verzichten. In diesem Fall muß kausal eine reaktive metaplastische Proliferation durch langjährige parafunktionelle Belastung des Kapsel-Band-Strukturen des Kiefergelenks angenommen werden.

Die Literaturübersicht und ein Rückblick auf das eigene Patientenkollektiv weisen das Auftreten eines solchen Tumors als große Seltenheit aus. Therapeutisch erfolgten eine Oberkieferteil- und Unterkieferkastenresektion beidseits in sano. Nach zwischenzeitlicher stationärer Entlassung wurde jedoch ca. 5 Monate postoperativ ein Weichteilsarkom im Bereich der rechten Skapula entdeckt und eine Radiatio begonnen.

Die Rolle von HPV bei der Entstehung anogenitaler Karzinome ist umfangreich analysiert worden, und es ist eindeutig bewiesen, daß mehr als 90% aller Zervixkarzinome mit sog. High risk-HPV-Typen (z.B. HPV 16 oder 18) assoziiert sind. HPV-Infektionen können auch in oralen prämalignen Läsionen sowie in oralen Plattenepithelkarzinomen (PEC) nachgewiesen werden. In Abhängigkeit von der Sensitivität der Detektionsmethode wurden in der Literatur 40–67% der Leukoplakien, 2,5–76% der PEC und 0–87% der Fälle mit einem Lichen planus als HPV 16-oder 18-infiziert beschrieben.

Die Pathohistologie zeigt ein charakteristisches Nebeneinander basaloider und plattenepithelialer Differenzierung. Trotz der insgesamt wenigen dokumentierten Verläufe stellt sich das BSC als ein ausgesprochen aggressives Malignom dar, welches häufig mit Zweitkarzinomen, lymphogener Filialisierung und atypischen Fernmetastasen einhergeht. Histologisch ist insbesondere die Abgrenzung zum soliden Typ des adenoid-zystischen Karzinoms (ACC) schwierig. Wir berichten von 4 neuen Manifestationen und vergleichen die immunhistochemischen Re...

Gleichzeitig kommt eine eine- oder doppelseitige Lippen-Kiefer-Gaumen-Spalte (LKG-Spalte) vor. Die Identifikation dieses Typs von LKG-Spalte ist wegen der Wachstumsstörung und der Gewebedefizite sowie der damit im Zusammenhang stehenden Probleme bei der chirurgischen und kieferorthopädischen Behandlung wichtig. Dies wird anhand von 2 Patientenbeispielen erörtert. Interessant sind die klinischen und röntgenologischen Befunde bei der Mutter einer beschriebenen Patientin, die dezente Anzeichen einer medianen fazialen Dysplasie aufweist.

Auf reflexionsakustischem Weg wurde dazu ein akustisches Korrelat der Querschnittsverhältnisse innerhalb endotrachealer Tuben und des angrenzenden Tracheobronchialbaums aufgezeichnet. In Modellversuchen und Messungen an Leichenpräparaten sollte untersucht werden, ob Dislokation oder Obstruktion der Kanülen im akustischen Äquivalent der Querschnittsfunktion erkennbar werden.

We investigated experimentally and clinically the effects of ischemia on microvascular flaps, with emphasis on the endothelial cell lining and the efficacy of cold storage solutions in preventing endothelial damage. Experimentally, we investigated three cold storage solutions — the Eurocollins solution, Bretschneider’s solution, and the University of Wisconsin solution — histologically, submicroscopically, and functionally regarding their ability to protect the intima. The University of Wisconsin solution proved superior to the Eurocollins and Bretschneider’s solutions. Our preliminary results on the clinical free flaps confirm a relationshi...

A 23-year-old woman presented with slowly progressive swelling in the right periauricular region. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the head and neck revealed a round, well-demarcated water-density mass in the right parotid gland. At the operation, the cystic mass replacing most of the superficial part of right parotid gland was demonstrated. Superficial parotidectomy was carried out. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid disease. CT scan is a valuable imaging method for diagnosis of parotid cystic lesions; however, other acquired and congenital cystic lesions of parotid gland may have similar appearance and should be differentiated.

Report  A 53-year-old man developed a hematoma of the floor of the mouth following a dental implant procedure, requiring admission to the hospital. Summary  The floor of the mouth is richly vascularized by a number of branches of the submental and sublingual arteries. During a dental implant procedure in the anterior zone of the mandible, perforation of the lingual cortex may invade the floor of the mouth and therefore damage structures within the sublingual space. The anatomy of the lower portion of the anterior mandibular zone, with the mylohyoid ridge, makes it particularly vulnerable ...

The literature suggests that human papilloma virus (HPV) may be involved in the development of SCC of the head and neck, especially in non-smoking and non-drinking patients. In the oral cavity, however, the presence of the HPV genome has been reported with various percentages. This may be due to misclassification of the oropharyngeal tongue as oral cavity subsite and the use of various detection methods. Materials and methods  Therefore, we evaluated the role of HPV in seven consecutive non-smoking and non-drinking patients (2003–2006) with a SCC located at the oral, mob...

The majority of these lesions consist of minor salivary gland tumors, tumors of the deep lobe of the parotid gland, and tumors of neurogenic origin (paragangliomi and schwannomi), while branchial cysts are extremely rare. Despite advances in radiographic images, surgical excision remains the definitive technique for the diagnosis of parapharyngeal space tumors. Results and discussion  The authors report a case of branchial cyst of the parapharyngeal space excised through a combined transcervical–transmandibular approach and discuss the several surgical techniques proposed to approach this type of tumors.

Further examinations lead us to the diagnosis of an uncommon manifestation of chronic B cell lymphoma. We suggest that plastic surgeons may refer to magnetic resonance tomography imaging and blood cell counts prior to liposuction of a massive swelling of the neck. Discussion  Accurate reduction of adipose tissue in the obese patient is a common field for plastic surgeons. Thus, liposuction has become a standard regimen to treat adipose swelling. But there may be exceptions to the rule. In this case report, we present an uncommon manifestatio...

The infantile form of FSHD is relatively rare. Case report  Within this case report, we describe the orthognatic surgery in a patient with infantile FSHD to diminish the functional and esthetic disturbances in the orofacial region. We saw a 20-year-old female patient suffering from infantile FSHD with remarkable macroglossia and frontal open bite. Diagnosis was based on molecular genetic investigations. To improve the functions of the stomatognathic system, we performed a tongue reduction and a segment osteotomy in the frontal aspect of the mandible. The patient was satisfied with the functiona...

Soft tissue localization that can be classified as a peripheral myxoma is rarely seen than the central localization. Peripheral myxoma is slowly growing and less aggressive compared to the central myxoma and has a low recurrence rate. Case report  In this presentation, the patient with a peripheral odontogenic myxoma of the posterior maxillary gingiva was presented with histological findings following surgery, and the clinical differences and characteristics of the various types of myxomas were discussed by a review of the literature.

Materials and methods  The sample consisted of 20 adult patients (seven men and 13 women, 29.1 years of age immediately before surgery). Both hard- and soft-tissue changes were evaluated using a set of lateral cephalograms taken immediately before and at 7 months after surgery. Pearson correlation coefficients were computed to examine the relationship between hard- and soft-tissue changes. A prediction model was developed using a multiple regression equation. Results and discussion  The findings were as follows: (1) Hard-tissue changes were only o...

A few patients required additional sawing or chisel. Piezoelectric screw insertion as complex osteotomies may be initiated to simplify the procedure and increase segment interdigitation after repositioning as to minimize the osteofixation time and dimensions.

It is rare if CD4+ cell counts are above 500 μl. Outbreaks are more common as the count drops to 100 μl. It may be more difficult to treat when CD4+ cell counts fall below 50 μl. Materials and methods  A retrospective review of 112 HIV/AIDS patients with lesions in the mouth, head, and neck seen at the oral and maxillofacial surgery units of two public hospitals in eastern Nigeria was carried out between 2000 and 2003. The focus was on oral candidiasis patients. Twenty-nine of these patients, made up of 11 males and 18 females, had oral candidiasis. To compare the action of two drugs, namely, nystatin (a topical antifungal drug) and ketoconazole...

Nevertheless, some bone substitutes can improve bone formation when compared to the control. New bone substitutes with growth factors to improve their abilities to induce bone formation should be experimented.

For surgical removal of impacted teeth on one side of these patients, either rubber drain (11 cases) or perioperative corticosteroids (11 cases) were used (study group). The contralateral impacted teeth were removed routinely without using any drug or drain (control group). Facial edema, trismus, and pain perception of the study and control groups were recorded on the second and seventh postoperative days. Results and discussion  This study showed that perioperative steroids reduce the trismus, facial swelling, and the severity of pain after third molar surgery. This study also revealed that the use of the drain reduces facial pain and trismus but has no effect on th...

The data show that maxillary advancement leads to a more pronounced shifting of the soft tissues in the malar–midfacial area than of the upper lip. The new parameters will help to assess normative soft tissue data based on 3D imaging with a view to an improved three-dimensional prediction of the operative outcome of orthognathic surgery away from the midline.
