1/72. Spontaneous uprighting of permanent tooth germs after elimination of local eruption obstacles.Four clinical cases are presented to demonstrate the self-correcting potential of aberrant tooth germs after the elimination of eruption obstacles (in 2 cases cysts, in 2 other cases severely infraoccluded primary teeth). In the case of the submerging deciduous teeth, the tilted adjacent teeth were orthodontically uprighted after the surgical procedure. Possible causative mechanisms are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/72. So-called simple bone cyst of the jaw: a family of pseudocysts of diverse nature and etiology.The nature and etiology of so-called simple bone cyst (SBC) are still a subject of debate. Our comprehensive review of the literature suggests that SBC, which appears histologically to be a single entity, has different natures and etiologies, resulting in divergent clinical features. In addition, an interesting case of mandibular SBC in an 11-year-old girl is presented with details of radiographic changes over a 7-year period. Fully documented patient records revealed that this lesion originated in the apical area of the first molar and took about 4 years to develop into a clinically evident bony expansion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 9keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |

4/72. Traumatic bone cyst--a case report.Traumatic bone cyst is an asymptomatic, slow growing, non expansile lesion commonly diagnosed during routine radiographic examination of the jaw bones. It is more frequently seen in young age, with predilection for anterior region of the mandible leading to a dramatic healing of the lesion. A typical case of traumatic bone cyst in a 12 year old girl is reported. A routine radiologic assessment of the patient with panoramic radiograph revealed a fairly large lesion in the anterior region of the mandible. On surgical exploration, clinical diagnosis was confirmed. Post operative successive radiograph shows progressive osseous healing.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/72. Postoperative maxillary cyst following sinus bone graft: report of a case.Sinus bone grafting with autogenous bone is routinely performed to allow placement of endosseous dental implants. Although numerous maxillary sinuses have been successfully grafted, some complications of this procedure have been reported. These include maxillary sinusitis, resorption, infection and possible failure of grafts, loss of implants after 1-stage surgery, and oroantral fistulae. Only one case of postoperative maxillary cyst developing in the graft has been reported in the literature. Here, the authors report a similar case that necessitated grafting of the cyst with autologous iliac bone.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/72. A patient whose cerebral aneurysm ruptured soon after an operation to remove a maxillary cyst.A hypertensive woman complained of a headache soon after an operation to remove a maxillary cyst. A computed tomogram showed evidence of subarachnoid haemorrhage and on angiogram an aneurysm of an anterior cerebral artery. The aneurysm was treated by clipping and the patient recovered.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/72. The lateral periodontal cyst: aetiology, clinical significance and diagnosis.The lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is a relatively uncommon but widely recognized odontogenic cyst of developmental origin. It is found mostly in adults and has no sex predilection. LPC is usually discovered during routine radiographic examination, is located mainly between the roots of vital mandibular canines and premolars, and seldom causes pain or other clinical symptoms. The defect appears on radiographs as a round or teardrop-shaped, well circumscribed radiolucency. Due to its location it can easily be misdiagnosed as a lesion of endodontic origin. In this paper, two cases of lateral periodontal cysts are presented. In the first case, the patient (woman, 62 years old) complained of an asymptomatic gingival swelling in the region between the right maxillary canine and premolar. The radiographic examination revealed a well circumscribed radiolucency with a radiopaque margin between the roots of the canine and premolar. The adjacent teeth had vital pulp. Surgical enucleation of the lesion was performed and the histological examination revealed that the lesion was a "lateral periodontal cyst of developmental origin". In the second case, the patient (women, 44 years old) complained of a swelling in the area of tooth 32. During radiographic examination a well circumscribed radiolucency between the roots of the lateral incisor and the canine was discovered. Surgical enucleation of the lesion was performed and the histological examination revealed that the lesion was a "lateral periodontal cyst of developmental origin".- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 9keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/72. Two male patients with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome from turkey.Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, also known as Gorlin's syndrome, is a familial autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, multiple odontogenic keratocysts of the jaws, and skeletal anomalies. Both tumors and malformations of the central nervous system occur with nevoid basal cell carcinoma. medulloblastoma is the primary brain tumor most frequently associated with this syndrome. The authors report in this article two male patients with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome: a 22-year-old male patient with multiple odontogenic keratocysts, who had medulloblastoma at two years and multiple basal cell carcinoma at 10 years of age, and a 15-year-old male patient with skeletal abnormalities and multiple odontogenic keratocysts in the jaws.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/72. Traumatic bone cyst: report of two cases and review of the literature.Traumatic bone cysts usually are found in young individuals and most frequently have the radiographic appearance of well-circumscribed radiolucent lesions with a tendency to scallop between the roots of the teeth. Two well-documented cases of traumatic bone cysts are presented in which some differences related to their radiographic features were observed. The possible explanations for these differences are discussed and a brief review of the literature regarding the main characteristics of traumatic bone cyst lesions also is provided.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 7keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/72. Well-defined unilocular radiolucency.Clinical and radiographic features provide significant clues for diagnosis of a traumatic bone cyst, which should be confirmed surgically to avoid unnecessary endodontic treatment or radical surgery due to a misdiagnosis. Management of the traumatic bone cyst is generally accomplished by the diagnostic process of surgical exploration. Reports of unusual clinical courses and an inadequate understanding of the etiology indicate that careful follow-up is essential.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
