Arthroscopic Myotomy of the Lateral Pterygoid Muscle With Coblation for the Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Anterior Disc Displacement Without ReductionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Different arthroscopic procedures and surgical instruments have been reported for the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement. Of particular interest are those specifically dedicated to repositioning of the disc in cases with anterior disc displacement without reduction and chronic closed lock (CCL). Moses and Poker stressed the importance of the capsular stretch procedure or capsular release for joint mobility, but whether the clinical improvement in relation to mouth opening is due to disc repositioning over the condyle or to the increased mobility of the disc complex has been somehow controversia...

Assessment of the Local Effects of Ketamine Requires Exclusion of Systemic EffectsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We read about the interesting study by Satilmis et al, which focuses on the local administration of ketamine in dental surgery. We find this study important for 2 reasons: 1) there are few clinical trials regarding ketamine's local effects; and 2) low-dose ketamine effectively reduces pain and swelling without any side effects after local administration. We would like to comment on local administration of ketamine and share our experience. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

With reference to the 2009 update of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons position paper, Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (BRONJ), a relevant modification to the previous classification has been made and a new stage (0) added. The latter stage has been defined as “patients with no clinical evidence of necrotic bone, but who present with nonspecific symptoms or clinical and radiographic findings …” and the need for various clinical and radiologic aspects in defining this condition was confirmed.

Curvilinear DistractionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I read with interest the article by Kaban et al titled “Clinical application of curvilinear distraction in the treatment of mandibular deformities.” I wish to correct several inaccuracies and discrepancies in their report. I began development of a curvilinear mandibular distractor in 1995. The original premise for curved distraction was based on the work by Moss et al and Rickets on the logarithmic growth of the mandible. On the basis of this work, we found that 4 differently curved distractors were all that is needed to represent the different parts of the spiral. The design of appropriate devices and preliminary stud...

Juvenile Aggressive Psammomatoid Ossifying FibromaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We have read the article by Smith et al, recently published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, who reported a case of an aggressive psammomatoid variant of ossifying fibroma. This lesion affected a young girl and did not respond to 2 previous attempts at surgical treatment. The expansive lesion was multilocular and located on the right body of the mandible. According to the authors' radiographic interpretation, the lesion had a ground-glass appearance, with endosteal scalloping and a narrow transitional zone with adjacent normal bone. In our opinion their Figure 1A presents 3 typical features seen in fibrous...

Thyroglossal Duct Cyst Occurring in the Floor of the Mouth: Report of 2 CasesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Thyroglossal duct cysts, which are congenital neck masses in children, result from the embryologic remnants of the descending thyroglossal duct. After being enlarged by inflammation, infection, and mucous retention, they can be found anywhere in the midline of the neck between the foramen cecum and thyroid gland and are usually located in the infrahyoid region (85%) or in close proximity to the hyoid bone. In a previous text the location of thyroglossal duct cysts was classified as suprahyoid (20%), at the level of the hyoid bone (15%), and infrahyoid (65%). Occasionally, cysts may appear to be on one side of the midline o...

A 41-year-old black man presented to the Montefiore Medical Center in 1990 with a chief complaint of a “bump on my gums.” The patient reported the lesion to be of several months in duration and denied any paresthesia or pain. His medical history was significant for tuberculosis, for which he stated that he was treated with appropriate antibiotic therapy. Upon examination, an indurated expansion was noted lingual to the mandibular central incisors with intact overlying mucosa, and a periapical radiolucency was present. The radiolucency was enucleated via a standard intraoral approach, and the tissue submitted for histop...

rhBMP-2 as an Option for Reconstructing Mandibular Continuity DefectsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Mandibular continuity defects are frequently caused by tumor removal or significant trauma. The reconstruction of these defects can be challenging. For defects with extensive hard and soft tissue loss, microvascular free-tissue transfer often provides an excellent reconstructive option. However, significant site morbidity, as well as nonideal bone stock for implant placement, can occur. For mandibular continuity defects not associated with significant soft tissue loss, nonvascularized autogenous bone has been shown to provide excellent results. The advantages compared with microvascular free-tissue transfer include a more ...

Reconstruction of Mandibular Continuity Defects Using Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2: A Note of Caution in an Atmosphere of ExuberanceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Loss of mandibular continuity most commonly occurs because of traumatic, infectious, or neoplastic processes and can be psychologically and physiologically debilitating. The goals of mandibular reconstruction are the restoration of appearance, mastication, deglutition, speech, and oral competence. Although the timing and prioritization of these goals within the context of ablative surgery have been controversial, it is clear that successful reconstruction of bony defects is dependent on the survival of the transplanted tissue, which in turn is dependent on an adequate blood supply or soft tissue envelope. Numerous reconstr...

A Novel Technique for Vertical Bone Augmentation in the Premaxillary RegionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A severely absorbed alveolar ridge in an edentulous premaxillary region is often augmented vertically with various methods to allow for dental implant insertion. Such a severely absorbed ridge most often results from loss of bone due to periodontitis or trauma or after dental extraction; and if socket preservation is not performed immediately after extraction, the alveolus narrows and its vertical dimension may often be reduced by 4 to 5 mm. We introduce a new technique for bone augmentation in the premaxillary region, in which vertical bone augmentation can be performed simultaneously with the insertion of dental implants...
