1/9. Reposition of intruded permanent incisor by a combination of surgical and orthodontic approach: a case report.This report presents a case of a completely intrusive luxation of an immature permanent central incisor in a 7 years 9 months-old girl. Because there are severe intrusive trauma and cortical alveolar bone fracture, it was impossible to reposition with orthodontic or surgical method alone. The intruded tooth was repositioned to healthy alveolar bone level by using surgical extrusion and stabilization with sutures and periodontal pack. After healing of adjacent bone, the intruded maxillary central incisor erupted orthodontically by removable orthodontic appliance. It was moved from a high position to level of adjacent tooth in about 7 months. A radiograph was taken 6 months after ceasing forced eruption, which demonstrated minor root resorption, but the alveolar bone height had increased.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/9. Orthodontic fine adjustment after vertical callus distraction of an ankylosed incisor using the floating bone concept.The outcome of vertical callus distraction of a segment of tooth-supporting alveolar process might be functionally and esthetically unsatisfactory because of the unidirectional impact of intraoral distraction devices. In this case report, we describe how, with a shortened consolidation phase and application of the floating bone effect, the tooth-supporting osteotomy segment can be successfully aligned 3 dimensionally. We applied orthodontic force systems that went beyond the unidirectional vector preset by the mechanical properties of the distraction device.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/9. Multiple dentoalveolar traumatic lesions: report of a case and proposition of dental polytrauma as a new term.Traumatic injuries to permanent teeth are common, and dramatic episodes can occur during childhood. The aim of this paper is to present a report of severe trauma to the orofacial complex of an 8-year old girl that resulted in multiple injuries. The use of the term "dental polytrauma" (concomitant different dental traumatic injuries) is advocated in this case presentation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 495.33820510797keywords = dentoalveolar, alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/9. Fracture of the alveolar process in a 2-year-old child: a report of an unconventional immobilization.This is a report of fracture of the maxillary anterior segment of the alveolar process of an energetic 2-year-old child. The fracture was reduced under general anesthesia, and the fractured segment was immobilized using only 2-0 chromic gut in order to avoid a second surgical episode to remove traditional fixation after healing. The patient was followed for one year and healed well with no evidence of the lack of vitality of the involved teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.6666666666667keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/9. Prosthetic restoration following maxillary trauma utilising a fixed removable implant-supported prosthesis: a case report.patients with traumatic head injuries may suffer from tooth loss, as well as involvement of associated soft tissues and bone. Conventional prostheses are often bulky and unretentive. Osseo-integrated implants have made it possible to treat these patients with more retentive, aesthetically and functionally improved prostheses. This case illustrates the use of a fixed removable implant-supported prosthesis for a patient with severe maxillary trauma. A bar connecting the implants was individually designed to have parallel sides and vertical channels prepared in it. The corresponding removable prosthesis features retentive pins which engage the prepared grooves in the bar to provide adequate frictional retention and stability for the prosthesis. This treatment modality restored the missing teeth, alveolar bone, soft tissues and oral function while at the same time facilitating good oral hygiene.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/9. Management of an unusual maxillary dentoalveolar fracture: a case report.The purpose of this case report was to describe the management of a trauma-induced maxillary dentoalveolar fracture of the right maxilla in an 8-year-old boy. The child presented with swelling of the right maxillary region, difficulty in chewing and closing the mouth, and a sutured laceration on the cheek. Complete palatal displacement of the fractured fragment involving the deciduous canine and molars was observed clinically and confirmed by radiological examination. The fracture was reduced and stabilized using a custom-fabricated, open-cap acrylic splint with modified interdental wiring under general anesthesia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 619.17275638496keywords = dentoalveolar, alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/9. Surgical prosthetic splints as an adjunct in treating facial fractures.Surgical splints are a valuable adjunct in managing certain mandible and maxillary fractures. Of the various splint materials, acrylic is the easiest, fastest, and least expensive. Acrylic splints are rigid, strong, easily adjusted and repaired, translucent, lightweight, and tolerated well by the oral mucosa. splints are beneficial not only in the edentulous adult, but also in the child with deciduous dentition and in the patient with a partial dentition. splints are helpful in managing fractures of the symphysis, parasymphyseal region, body, and alveolar ridges of the mandible, sagittal fractures of the hard palate, and severely comminuted mandible fractures. Construction of acrylic splints is simple and rapid if the surgeon uses the services of a dentist or a dental laboratory.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/9. Failure of an intra-oral wound to heal. Case report.Failure to treat the soft tissue component of dento-alveolar wounds may complicate wound healing mechanisms, retarding the rate of healing and increasing the risk of infection. A case is presented of a five-year-old with an intra-oral wound which, left untreated for eleven days, failed to resolve.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/9. Transcatheter arterial embolization as treatment for life-threatening maxillofacial injury.A rare case of massive maxillofacial hemorrhage, which was controlled by transcatheter arterial embolization, is reported. A 23-year-old man with massive nasal and oral hemorrhage caused by maxillofacial fracture was admitted. Emergency angiography demonstrated extravasation of contrast material from the posterior superior alveolar artery, which was immediately embolized using gelatin sponge particles. This case shows that transcatheter arterial embolization is useful and effective for the treatment of massive hemorrhage resulting from severe maxillofacial injury.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
