1/10. Inadequate implant angulation resulting from oroantral fistula: case report.Successful implant surgery is largely dependent on good treatment planning and careful surgery. A complete treatment plan must encompass both surgical and prosthetic considerations for the implant restoration. Some compromised implants are restorable, and the result can be acceptable if they can be adjusted into a more ideal position. The goals of the segmental osteotomy are the preservation of a healthy dental unit, the creation of a more ideal environment for dental restoration and occlusal reconstruction, the optimization of cost effectiveness, and the minimization of edentulous space. The purpose of this study is to present the segmental maxillary osteotomy to reposition the alveolar segment with its implant that was in a highly compromised situation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/10. Nasal cocaine abuse and centrofacial destructive process: report of three cases including treatment.We report 3 new cases of a centrofacial destructive process associated with chronic nasal abuse of cocaine. This complex first described in 1988 is a rare entity involving sinonasal tract necrosis after cocaine abuse. Of special interest in this report is a male patient with columella and lip involvement instead of the more usual rhinopalatal destruction. This cocaine abuse complex should be included in the differential diagnosis of centrofacial midline destructive processes in young patients as the first diagnostic possibility. We suggest a management strategy for these patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.013590225690236keywords = process (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/10. Herniation of an antral polyp through an oroantral fistula.This paper reports a case of herniation of an antral polyp through an oroantral fistula, appearing as a polypoid lesion of the alveolar ridge. The patient was a 24-year-old female, and her upper molar had been extracted two months previously. The lesion was asymptomatic, and was a soft tissue mass, red in color and nontender to palpation, involving the alveolar ridge in the maxillary molar area. review of the literature yielded only a few other such cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/10. Management of arsenic trioxide necrosis in the maxilla.Historically, pulp-necrotizing agents were commonly used in endodontic treatments. They act quickly and devitalize the pulp within a few days. However, they are cytotoxic to gingiva and bone. If such an agent diffuses out of the cavity, it can readily cause widespread necrosis of gingiva and bone, which can lead to osteomyelitis of the jaws. Although the use of arsenic trioxide can cause severe damage to surrounding tissues, producing complications, it is still used in certain areas in the world. This article presents and discusses two cases of tissue necrosis and their surgical management. These cases showed severe alveolar bone loss in the maxilla, which affected the patients' quality of life and limited the restorative possibilities. As dentists, we should be aware of the hazardous effects of arsenic trioxide and should abandon its use. Because of its cytotoxicity, there is no justification for the use of arsenic trioxide in the modern dental practice.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/10. Ectopic eruption of a maxillary third molar tooth in the maxillary sinus: a case report.Ectopic eruption of teeth into regions other than the oral cavity is rare although there have been reports of teeth in the nasal septum, mandibular condyle, coronoid process, palate, chin, and maxillary sinus. Occasionally, a tooth may erupt in the maxillary sinus and present with local sinonasal symptoms attributed to chronic sinusitis. We present a case of an ectopic maxillary third molar tooth that caused chronic sinusitis in the maxillary sinus.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0022650376150393keywords = process (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/10. Inverted papilloma of the maxillary sinus: an unusual cause of a non-healing extraction socket. Case report.Although the healing of extraction sites is generally a rapid and uncomplicated process, delayed healing or overt infection of recent extraction sockets may involve a variety of causes and the clinician must be aware pre-operatively of both local and systemic influences. Retarded or non-healing extraction sites always require investigation. This paper looks broadly at the subject of non-healing extraction sites and reports an unusual case involving an inverted papilloma of the maxillary antrum. To the authors' knowledge this is the first reported case of an antral papilloma causing delayed extraction wound healing.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0022650376150393keywords = process (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/10. dentigerous cyst with oro-antral fistula.A dentigerous cyst of the upper jaw is a common disease, forming 3 per cent of all alveolar cysts. However, its association with an oro-antral fistula is extremely rare and only a few cases have been reported so far.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/10. Alveolar bone necrosis and tooth loss. a rare complication associated with herpes zoster infection of the fifth cranial nerve.Eleven case reports involving herpes zoster infection associated with alveolar bone necrosis and tooth loss were reviewed in order to develop a patient profile for this rare combination of physical findings. The clinical course of a 56-year-old white woman with herpes zoster infection of the fifth cranial nerve and related alveolar bone necrosis, tooth loss, and oroantral fistula development is reported. The etiology and management of herpes zoster infection associated with destructive oral sequelae are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/10. Sinus obliteration for chronic oro-antral fistula: a case report.This report describes a patient with chronic oro-antral fistula resulting from tooth extraction. Several local flap procedures failed to close the fistula, which was complicated by chronic sinusitis. Ultimately, cure was achieved via antral obliteration using vascularised temporoparietal fascia, sparing remaining maxillary alveolar bone. Total, trans-buccal maxillary sinus obliteration with fascia should be considered for the treatment of oro-antral communications refractory to treatment with intraoral tissues.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/10. oroantral fistula: a complication of transantral ligation of the internal maxillary artery for epistaxis.Transantral ligation of the internal maxillary artery (IMAX) is a well-described option for surgical management of posterior epistaxis not controlled by anterior and posterior packing. Advocates for this procedure argue that it reduces the morbidity, length of hospital stay and financial cost associated with prolonged nasal packing. The procedure is carried out through a Caldwell-Luc approach and the IMAX is clipped in the pterygomaxillary fossa. Fashioning of a nasoantral window is optional and its inclusion usually depends on the integrity of the sinus ostium. The commonest complications of transantral IMAX ligation occur when local structures including the inferior orbital and anterior superior alveolar nerves are damaged. The incidence of oroantral fistula following IMAX ligation is very low but those cases reported have been associated with the failure to create a nasoantral drainage window. We report two cases of persistent oroantral fistula complicating transantral internal maxillary artery ligation. No nasoantral window was fashioned in either of these cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
