1/19. Periodontal and alveolar bone abnormalities associated with pachydermoperiostosis.Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is an unusual syndrome manifested clinically by finger clubbing, extremity enlargement, hypertrophic skin changes, and periosteal bone formation. A rare case of pachydermoperiostosis (primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy) with oral manifestations in a 47-year-old man is presented. The possible correlation between physiological mechanisms of this disease and their influence on oral periodontal tissues and alveolar bone is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/19. cherubism and its charlatans.cherubism is a rare hereditary condition characterised by progressive cystic proliferation of the mandible and maxilla in childhood, followed by post-pubertal involution of the process and jaw remodelling in adulthood. Its name is derived from the cherubic appearance that results from the jaw hypertrophy. Here, we present the case of a young boy with cherubism, in the context of his pedigree, to illustrate the clinical characteristics and their variable expression. We also seek to distinguish cherubism from central giant cell granuloma and giant cell tumour of the jaws, with which it holds a false synonymity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.00028821807729232keywords = process (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/19. A concept for the treatment of various dental bone defects.Untreated dental bone defects usually lead to resorption of alveolar bone. Filling these defects with bone substitute material prevents resorption of bone, preserves the alveolar ridge, and provides sufficient bone for immediate or subsequent implant placement. A variety of bone substitutes is available. They differ in origin, consistency, particle size, porosity, and resorption characteristics. We have treated almost 1000 bony defect sites in 267 patients with the bone regeneration material Cerasorb. Being resorbed simultaneously with the formation of new bone, it is completely replaced by the patient's own vital bone within 6 to 12 months. The representative cases described in this paper demonstrate the successful use of the pure-phase beta-tricalcium phosphate ceramic in the treatment of all dental bone defects.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/19. Radiographic findings in 224Ra-caused dental resorptions.Dental resorptions as a delayed effect of thorium X (224Ra) were observed in four patients. The radiographic findings showed distinct and representative patterns. Apparently, the observed changes are typical for delayed alterations related to 224Ra-specific disturbances in the alveolar process. Degenerative and inflammatory reactions may also be involved in the pathogenesis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.20028821807729keywords = alveolar, process (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/19. The use of overdentures in children with cleft lip and palate: a report of two cases.The treatment of children with cleft lip and palate is complex. Advances in primary surgery and the advent of alveolar bone grafting have resulted in the reduction of prosthetic intervention. However, in patients where surgery is contraindicated or has been unsuccessful, an alternative treatment is required. Overdentures are a simple, conservative and reversible non-surgical alternative for children with cleft lip and palate. We present two cases with severe complete bilateral cleft lip and palate that were managed in this way.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/19. Hyaline ring granuloma: a distinct oral entity.Hyaline ring granuloma (HRG) is a distinct oral entity. In this study, 64 cases from the literature are analyzed and two new cases are reported. The lesions could be classified by location as central hyaline ring granuloma (42%) and peripheral hyaline ring granuloma (53%). Radiographically, a radiolucent area irregularly outlined by well-formed trabeculae of bone was found in central HRG, and a poorly defined erosion at the crest of the alveolar ridge was often found in peripheral HRG. Occasionally, the lesion occurred in the connective tissue wall of cysts (5%). The etiology of this condition is controversial, but most lesions were in edentulous areas and most patients had a history of tooth extraction or other trauma. The majority of cases (83%) occurred in the mandible, usually posterior to the premolar. The mean age of patients at diagnosis was 43 years, and the male/female ratio was 1.9:1. pain was not a symptom, although local discomfort, such as recurrent swelling and tenderness, was noted in many cases. Hyaline rings with giant cell inclusions are the significant features for histopathologic diagnosis. HRG is treated by curettage or surgical excision, care being taken to remove the entire lesion. The removal of a peripheral HRG in an edentulous jaw should be followed by careful smoothing of the bone surface, since the lesion tends to infiltrate and is not well demarcated. recurrence, probably due to incomplete excision, is uncommon.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/19. cleft palate lateral synechia syndrome. review of the literature and case report.cleft palate lateral synechiae syndrome is a rare syndrome consisting of cord-like interalveolar adhesions and concomitant hypoplasia of the mandible. We have presented an infant with CPLS syndrome and coincident hydrocephalus. Surgical division of the adhesions is necessary to allow normal feeding, avoid upper airway obstruction, and allow normal mandibular function and growth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/19. pigmentation of the jawbones and teeth secondary to minocycline hydrochloride therapy.Oral pigmentation due to minocycline hydrochloride (Minocin) therapy is an unusual and infrequently reported side effect of the drug. This report describes a patient on long-term minocycline therapy who presented with gingival pigmentation. Upon surgical exploration, the gingiva was noted to be normal in color, but the underlying bone was deeply pigmented. Via fluorescent microscopy, minocycline deposition within the alveolar bone was demonstrated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/19. Does osteomalacia contribute to development of oral complications of oxalosis?Two renal dialysis patients with oral manifestations of oxalosis had undecalcified sections of iliac and alveolar bone and teeth examined histologically in an attempt to explain the development of tooth mobility and tooth loss. osteomalacia was detected in all bone specimens and attributed to aluminum toxicity after the histochemical localization of aluminum at the calcification front between osteoid and calcified matrix. aluminum was also detected histochemically in the cementum of teeth. calcium oxalate crystals were present in bone marrow, teeth, and gingiva. It is proposed that tooth mobility and tooth loss in oxalosis result from the combined effects of osteomalacia and oxalate crystal deposition within the periodontium. To prevent avoidable tooth loss it is suggested that patients with oxalosis who develop tooth mobility should have aluminum toxicity and osteomalacia excluded as causal factors.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/19. Median palatal cyst. A reminder of palate fusion.The existence of a median palatal cyst has been questioned. Such a lesion would represent an unusual anomaly of a unique embryological process. The radiologic and pathologic criteria necessary to establish such a diagnosis are inconclusive in the ten case reports that have appeared in the English language literature. A median palatal cyst that is distinct from other palatal defects would have specific characteristics that included: 1) a true epithelial-lined cyst; 2) no salivary gland, vascular, or neural elements in the cyst wall; and 3) location in the palate at a distance sufficiently posterior to avoid confusion with structures of the nasal palatine region. We report the findings of a palate lesion excised from a 27-year-old male which by location and histology were consistent only with a median palatal cyst. These data appear to authenticate, for the first time, the median palatal cyst as a distinct pathological entity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.00028821807729232keywords = process (Clic here for more details about this article) |
