Prognosis of a case with paresthesia associated with prolonged touching of an endodontic paste to the inferior alveolar nerve
Paresthesia is described as an abnormal sensation, such as burning, pricking, tickling, tingling, formication or numbness. Several conditions can cause paresthesia. This article presents a case of paresthesia caused by the extrusion of endodontic paste (Endomethasone®) into the mandibular canal. The clinical manifestations comprised the numbness on the right side of the mandible and right lower lip, appearing after endodontic treatment. After a mandibular block and infiltration anesthesia a mucoperiostal flap was raised and the extruded Endomethasone® was removed successfully. A therapy with antibiotic, B vitamin complex and an analgesic were prescribed. The patient reported an improvement …
Some morphological features related to mandibular third molar impaction
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of some morphological features of the mandible and mandibular permanent molars on impaction of mandibular third molars with panoramic measurements in a Turkish patient group. Study design: Standardized panoramic radiography variables compiled from 140 patients retrospectively were eva- luated. Predictive variables included mesio-distal crown width and inclination of the mandibular molars, vertical and horizontal surface dimension between distal surface of the lower second molar tooth and anterior surface of its ramus, length and width of the mandible ramus and corpus, angle of the mandible gonion, the number of the lower third mola…
Gigantic peripheral osteoma of the mandible: a case report
Osteomas are osteogenic lesions that have a limited growth potential. They are comprised of histologically and radiographically normal bone. Osteomas are categorized as central, peripheral or extraskeletal according to location. Clinically, peripheral osteomas (PO) are unilateral, sessile or pedunculated and have mushroom-like lesions ranging from 10 to 40 mm in diameter. Osteomas affecting the mandible are rare. In this report, we presented a gigantic peripheral mass on the left mandible in a 55-year old patient exhibiting clinical signs related to neoplasia.
