Primary osteoplasty using calvarian bone in patients with cleft lip, alveolus and palateEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Based on the results presented, primary bone grafting using calvarial bone seems to be a promising alternative in bridging narrow alveolar defects. This method allows early intervention at an age in which children do not recognize themselves as cleft patients. The preservation of the deciduous teeth is equally important regarding their functional stimulus for bone development. (Source: Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery)

The role of Cone beam CT in the evaluation and management of a family with Gardner's syndromeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present a family of four sisters affected with GS with a wide range of anomalies. The role of Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the early detection and evaluation of osteomas and dental anomalies with precise assessment of their relationship to adjacent anatomic structures is described here in detail. The careful interpretation of CBCT may be of a great value in surgical and orthodontic treatment planning in the presence of jaw lesions. Management of dental problems in GS may be challenging due to the presence of odontomas and increased bone density. A multidisciplinary approach in the management of GS can achieve...

Odontogenic fibrosarcomaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In a recent report, described a case of low-grade fibrosarcoma of the mandible with probable origin from the dental follicle of an unerupted third molar. The authors stated that such a tumour has not been previously documented. I would like to call attention to three earlier reports by Thoma, the first in 1940 (), the second in 1949 () and the third in 1951 (). Thoma, a pioneer of modern oral pathology, presented a well-documented case, presumably the first described, of pericoronal fibrosarcoma in association with an unerupted mandibular third molar. He coined the term “odontogenic fibrosarcoma” for this lesion and po...

Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinomas: Five new clinicopathologic case studiesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinomas (PIOSCCs) are rare malignant tumours which arise from odontogenic epithelial remnants. Herein we report five new PIOSCC cases, affecting three female and two male patients with a mean age of 64.4 years. One case involved the maxilla and four cases occurred in the mandible. Typical radiographic findings were ill-defined radiolucencies. Histopathologically, four cases were diagnosed as well-differentiated PIOSCCs arising de novo or from odontogenic cysts. The remaining case was a moderately differentiated de novo PIOSCC. In four cases, treatment consisted of surgical rem...

Stable vertical distraction osteogenesis of highly atrophic mandibles after ablative tumour surgery of the oral cavity – a salvage pathway for mandibular reconstruction prior to oral rehabilitation with dental implantsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article describes a technique that combines stable internal fixation with vertical distraction of the alveolar ridge in six patients with critical mandibular thickness after ablative surgery for cancer of the oral cavity. Prior to implant insertion for further prosthodontic restoration stable vertical mandibular distraction produced an additional 11–20mm. Improvement of the surrounding soft tissues, especially intraorally was achieved and dental implants were inserted after bony consolidation.This method can be a useful salvage technique for the augmentation of the atrophic mandible in patients who are not able or w...

Refined simple line closure for macrostomia repair: Designing a mucosal triangular flap on the commissure regionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: Congenital macrostomia is a relatively rare deformity. A number of different methods for its correction have been reported in the past. Here, we report our refined method of correcting macrostomia. Our method is characterized by creation of a small triangular mucosal flap on the cleft region of the lower red lip where the tissue appears identical to the normal commissure. Adequate advancement of this flap into the mouth along with proper reconstruction of muscle continuity and simple line closure of the skin enable correction of macrostomia with a natural-looking commissure in a symmetric position with an acceptab...

Summary: Introduction: Experimental research on optimising the distraction protocol has been performed extensively in the past. However, relatively little research has been done on the rhythm of distraction. Findings in the orthopaedic literature showed that the outcome of distraction osteogenesis (DO) is positively influenced by increasing the rhythm of distraction. The aim of this study is to quantitatively compare continuous with discontinuous rhythms of distraction in rabbits.Materials and methods: Tissue blocks of regenerated bone were harvested from thirty-eight young adult female New-Zealand White rabbits. After a l...

Summary: Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is an uncommon benign bony lesion that occurs in the mandible and maxilla. The clinical behaviour of CGCG ranges from a slow-growing asymptomatic swelling to an aggressive lesion that presents pain, local bone destruction, root resorption and tooth displacement.Therapeutic options have varied greatly over the years. Non-surgical treatments with alpha interferon (α-IFN), calcitonin and corticosteroids have been described and their benefits may be worthy of consideration. Surgery is considered the traditional treatment and it is still the most accepted one, however in the literat...
