1/28. A previously unreported surgical technique utilizing five different grafting materials to successfully achieve simultaneous alveolar regeneration and closure of a large oronasal defect.This case report describes the successful surgical and restorative management of an unusual cyst-granuloma combination that had expanded to perforate the labial and nasal parts of the maxillary bone. Enucleation and curettage of the lesions resulted in a large oronasal communication that presented a reconstructive challenge. Five different graft and/or barrier materials were used to close the oral and nasal openings and to regenerate the alveolus for implant placement and for aesthetic prosthetic restoration.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/28. Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia in the maxilla mimicking periapical granuloma.A case of focal cemento-osseous dysplasia of the maxilla in a 19-year-old man is reported. Clinically, the lesion resembled periapical pathosis of odontogenic origin. The clinical and histopathologic features of cemento-osseous dysplasia are reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 505071.79369712keywords = periapical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/28. Reddening of the upper central incisors associated with periapical granuloma in lepromatous leprosy.Four years after starting treatment for lepromatous leprosy in england a male Pakistani aged 26 was found to have red discoloration of the upper central incisor teeth. A radiograph suggested periapical abscess on the right with haziness in a corresponding area on the left. Right apicectomy was performed with removal of a solid mass attached to the apex, sections revealing a lepromatous infiltrate with acid-fast fragments of mycobacterium leprae in the cytoplasm of foamy macrophages. Clinical and archaeological evidence for the frequent involvement of these teeth in lepromatous leprosy is reviewed. The upper incisor area is relatively cool, a factor which may be of critical importance for the lodgement and multiplication of this bacillus, as it is in other body sites in lepromatous leprosy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 505071.79369712keywords = periapical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/28. A conservative biopsy technique for periapical lesions.This paper presented a conservative technique for biopsy of periapical lesions. The case report demonstrated the insertion of a flexible microsurgical biopsy forceps through a labial sinus tract into a lesion for removal of specimens for histopathological evaluation. This limited tissue removal seemed to induce a change from a cyst to a granuloma, as well as stimulate a degree of repair.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 505071.79369712keywords = periapical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/28. Peripheral giant cell granuloma--a case report.Peripheral giant cell granuloma is a lesion arising mainly from the connective tissue of gingiva or periosteum of alveolar ridge. A case of peripheral giant cell granuloma involving a deciduous molar and the succedaneous tooth is reported. The lesion was large and interfered with occlusion. Surgical excision of the lesion along with the deciduous first molar was done. The underlying permanent first premolar was also involved, and had to be removed. The importance of an adequate salivary flow and maintenance of oral hygiene in the prevention of such lesions is stressed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/28. Development and treatment of retrograde peri-implantitis involving a site with a history of failed endodontic and apicoectomy procedures: a series of reports.Osseointegrated implants provide predictable restorative support for crowns, restorations, prosthesis abutments, and removable dentures. Their widespread use in recent years has produced different types of complications. Retrograde peri-implantitis, a lesion occurring at the periapical area of an osseointegrated implant, has recently been described. This paper presents a series of reports describing the occurrence and management of retrograde peri-implantitis involving implants replacing teeth with histories of failed endodontic and apicoectomy procedures.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 101014.35873942keywords = periapical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/28. Charcot-Leyden crystals within a periapical lesion.Transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of Charcot-Leyden crystals within a periapical lesion, which was assessed histopathologically as consistent with a periapical granuloma that failed to resolve after conventional endodontic treatment. This paper presents the clinical, radiographic, histological, and ultrastructural findings of this case and discusses their potential clinical significance.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 606086.15243655keywords = periapical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/28. eosinophilic granuloma as a form of inflammatory reaction. A case report.eosinophilic granuloma consists of the proliferation and/or accumulation of langerhans cells in the bones, generally of the cranium and face, as a uni- or multifocal cystic lesion. It is considered to be a localized chronic form of Langerhans cell disease. The most frequent oral location is the posterior part of the mandible, where the bone lesion often gives rise to lesions of the overlying soft tissues. We report a case showing bilateral involvement of the upper jaw and unilateral involvement of the mandible. The eosinophilic granulomas arose in association with odontogenic periapical infectious processes, suggesting that this disorder may be a form of inflammatory response.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 101014.35873942keywords = periapical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/28. Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the mandible: a case report.osteomyelitis of jaws caused by infection with mycobacterium tuberculosis is uncommon, especially in children. We present a case of tuberculous osteomyelitis in a young child. Its clinical presentation, with features similar to a dento-alveolar abscess, underline the importance of considering it in the differential diagnosis of jaw lesions. We discuss of the diagnostic techniques, management and preventive measures, and stress the importance of history taking during clinical examination.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/28. The horizontally impacted maxillary canine situated in a labial position.Surgical management of unerupted teeth depends upon a thorough understanding of anatomic, physiologic and pathologic factors. attention has been given to problems of eruption in the maxillary anterior region. It is a region where a variety of anomalies occur. Since the maxillary anterior region influences appearance so greatly, early detection of difficulties and careful planning and treatment can be extremely beneficial to patients. The purpose of this case report is to present a case of maxillary permanent canine impaction in a horizontal displacement that developed after loss of the deciduous canine to chronic apical periodontitis, and incomplete root resorption of the deciduous canine.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 280.061190946keywords = periodontitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
