Surgical treatment of condylar hyperplasia associated with dentofacial deformity using piezosurgery
SummaryOwing to the complexity of the treatment of condylar hyperplasia associated with dentofacial deformities, with the accompanying risk of complications resulting from surgical trauma to adjacent anatomic structures, the surgeon can make use of piezosurgery. This case report describes a  patient with right condylar hyperplasia associated with dentofacial deformity who was treated surgically with piezosurgery with high condylectomy, articular disc repositioning and anchoring, and orthognathic surgery concomitantly. The approach led to stable results, satisfactory occlusion, and fac ial harmony. (Source: International J...

Dental pulp regeneration
AbstractTrauma in the oral region and tooth avulsion are a major part of injuries in children, adolescents, and young adults. Established methods used to manage these cases provide mainly repair, but not regeneration. Tissue engineering paves the way for research in the new field of regenerative endodontics to overcome the limits of conservative strategies. This review aims to provide an overview of the available in vitro and in vivo models for dental pulp regeneration. The review covers different in vitro models, including two- and three-dimensional models and organ cultures, comprising both ectopic and orthotopic approac...

The reliability of palatal rugoscopy in predicting various malocclusions
ConclusionThe wavy pattern of rugae was predominant in all types of malocclusions followed by the straight pattern. There was no significant relation between the types of palatal rugae and malocclusion. (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Eagle ’s syndrome - a case report
AbstractEagle ’s syndrome is characterized by a set of symptoms caused by an elongation of the styloid process and/or the mineralization (calcification or ossifications) of the stylohyoid and/or stylomandibular ligaments. The symptoms can be variable, affecting the masticatory system and maxillofacial region as well as the head and neck, often leading to a misdiagnosis. Here we present a literature review and a case report of stylocarotid syndrome, which is one of the two forms of this syndrome. (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Awareness of emergency management of dental trauma among mothers in Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia
ConclusionMaternal knowledge about the emergency management of dental trauma in Al-Qassim region was deficient regardless of age, educational level, working status, or socioeconomic status. Dental educational campaigns aimed at mothers are necessary so as to minimize complications from dental trauma among children. (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Leukoplakia
AbstractLeukoplakia is a premalignant lesion of the oral mucosa that presents as a white lesion or patch that cannot be characterized clinically or histopathologically as any other entity. Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia is a malignant form of leukoplakia of unknown etiology and is thought to be associated with human papilloma virus (HPV). It starts as a slow-growing, persistent, multifocal lesion and is most commonly seen in elderly women. The “classic mechanism” of the disease gives demonstrable evidence that large areas of aerodigestive tissue are more affected on exposure to carcinogens in patients with adverse...

Mandibular hypomobility secondary to bilateral coronoid hyperplasia
This article presents the case of a patient with bilateral coronoid process hyperplasia, who was initially diagnosed as having bilateral temporomandibular joint disorders. The patient underwent months of physiotherapy and bite-appliance therapy without any improvement in mouth opening. FinalIy, he was referred to La Timone Hospital for a proper diagnosis and, consequently, effective treatment. (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine 2  % as hemostyptic agent in routine dental extraction
ConclusionPVP-I significantly (p <  0.001) controlled bleeding as compared with saline, suggesting that PVP-I irrigation acts as a hemostyptic. (Source: International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine)

Disinfection of alginate and addition silicon rubber-based impression materials
SummaryThe efficacy of 1  % sodium hypochlorite and 2 % glutaraldehyde disinfectant sprays on impression materials (alginate and addition silicone rubber-based impression material) was tested qualitatively and quantitatively for the presence of microflora on untreated (control group) and disinfected impression surfaces after 48 h of incubation using nutrient agar culture medium. Impressions were made of 60 dentulous volunteers aged 20–50 years who were apparently free from medical problems. The colony-forming units (cfu) were counted and compared with the control group. The control group showed growth of virid ians...

Asymptomatic calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor presenting as a random radiographic finding
AbstractCalcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT), a rare odontogenic lesion, usually appears as radiolucency with radiopacities. This characteristic finding may not always be evident depending on the lesion stage, growth, and histopathological features. An asymptomatic case of CCOT alongside an unerupted third molar that was discovered randomly after a routine panoramic radiograph is presented in a 28-year-old male patient. The imaging examination by cone beam computed tomography revealed a unilocular corticated radiolucency in close association with the buccal aspect of a fully impacted mandibular third molar that exten...

T Scan – An aid in achieving stable occlusion during finishing stages of orthodontic treatment
ConclusionsEvaluation of the number and distribution of occlusal contacts at the end of active orthodontic treatment has not been a routine procedure in orthodontic clinics. 2 months of extensive finishing and detailing phase resulted in marked improvement in all three parameters and favorable changes in occlusion. Hence, evaluation of occlusion using T Scan is an innovative and objective method, emphasizing that proper finishing is mandatory for obtaining functionally stable occlusion.
