1/82. Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor arising in a dental cyst: report of unusual case.The case of an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor developing over a dentigerous cyst is reported. A 12-year-old boy was referred by his pediatric dentist to the service of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Asturias Central Hospital (spain) for evaluation of a radiolucent image compatible with a dentigerous cyst. Microscopic examination revealed the presence of an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor located over the linear epithelium of a dentigerous cyst. Based on the literature, the clinico-pathological, diagnostic, radiological and therapeutic characteristics of the case are commented in detail.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/82. Gorham's disease: a case (including dental presentation) of vanishing bone disease.A case of multicentric vanishing bone disease with maxillofacial involvement in a 4-year-old boy is presented. The clinical and histologic features are described along with the subsequent management of the disease, and the literature concerning this unusual and rare condition is reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/82. 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 = 0.25keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/82. Segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia: a case report and review of the literature.Segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOD) is a rare, unilateral developmental disorder of the maxilla involving abnormal growth and maturation of the bone, lack of one or both premolars, altered primary molar structure, delayed tooth eruption, and fibrous hyperplasia of the gingiva. In this, the twenty-third reported case of SOD, the literature is reviewed, and the clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic data are described. Computed tomographic scans of this case showed that the involved segment of the maxilla extends mesiodistally from the permanent cuspid to the mesial portion of the first permanent molar, largely limited to the area of the missing premolars. However, the affected bone extends superiorly in the lateral wall of the maxilla to the zygoma and base of the orbit. This article is intended to serve as baseline data for a future article, describing the natural history and possible treatment of SOD, which remain undocumented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.0673577073346keywords = tooth (Clic here for more details about this article) |

6/82. The dental management of a patient with a cocaine-induced maxillofacial defect: a case report.There are several dental complications associated with cocaine abuse, including adverse reactions to dental anesthetics, post-operative bleeding, and cellulitis, which can lead to necrosis of orbital, nasal, and palatal bones. Following is a report of the initial treatment rendered to a patient who had destroyed most of her hard palate over a ten-year period of cocaine abuse. There are no classic socio-economic or educational profiles for abusers of cocaine. Drug abuse victims may present as patients in any dental office. Though there are certain classic physiological and psychological symptoms of their condition, they may not display symptoms at all.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.75keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/82. An endosseous, implant-retained obturator for the rehabilitation of a recurrent central giant cell granuloma: a clinical report.The prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient with a recurrent maxillary CGCG has been described. The patient's immense defect originally was rehabilitated with a scapular microvascular free flap, endosseous dental implants, and an ISP that became obsolete by virtue of the resection of recurrent disease and the subsequent need for velopharyngeal obturation. The patient was provided with a surgical obturator at the time of the resection of the recurrent CGCG. The surgical obturator thereafter was modified into an interim obturator to provide velopharyngeal competence while the soft tissues around the palatal defect healed. Finally, the construction of a bar-retained definitive obturator markedly improved the patient's speech, mastication, and deglutition.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/82. Follicular or dentigerous (tooth-containing) cyst in the premaxilla of an otherwise edentulous 65-year-old man.A unilocular follicular or dentigerous cyst (FDC) with a diameter of 12 mm was observed incidentally in the premaxilla of a midsagittal section of the head of a 65-year-old cadaver. The mucosal lining of the cyst was grey in color and granular in texture: the osseous walls had a thickness of less than 1 mm. In the floor of the cyst, a slender, fully developed incisor tooth was fixed in a horizontal position. The alveolar processes of the maxilla and mandible were completely edentulous. Postmortem computer tomography showed the cyst in an osteolytic lesion of the premaxilla, and histology revealed a lining of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium supported by a lamina propria of dense connective tissue. copyright Wiley-Liss, Inc.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5.5867885366731keywords = tooth, dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |

Two cases are reported of submerging buried maxillary second deciduous molar.
