Synchronous unilateral parotid neoplasms. : a case report
2009
The parotid gland is the most usual location of benign neoplasms affecting major salivary glands and quite often the recurrence of these tumours is noticed, specially in the case of pleomorphic adenoma. The occurrence of multiple tumours in the parotid glands is rare and the majority of these are multifocal Warthin`s tumors (papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum). The simultaneous development of tumours with different histological types is unusual and when it occurs, the most common combination is a pleomorphic adenoma and a Warthin`s tumor. There are many articles about Multiple Parotid Tumors (MPT) but only a few of them are focused on unilateral synchronous benings tumors, being pleomorphi…
Infección periprotésica aguda de rodilla por fusobacterium nucleatum. Revisión de la literatura a propósito de un caso.
2020
Fusobacterium Nucleatum is an anaerobic commensal microorganism present in the oral cavity and some mucous membranes with great capacity to form biofilm. In the literature, only one case of acute periprosthetic infection of the knee by Fusobacterium Nucleatum has been reported, providing the second case. A 72-year-old man presented with an acute periprosthetic infection by fusobacterium nucleatum after a second time of a prosthetic knee replacement. Debridement and spacer changes were performed up to 4 times, associating parenteral antibiotic treatment. After ensuring the absence of infection, a modular revision knee prosthesis with stems was placed, with a satisfactory evolution after two …
The meridian incision : a technical modification in the conservative surgery of the impacted maxillary canine
2008
We describe a technical modification of the apical repositioning flap in the conservative surgical treatment of the impacted canine in buccal position. This amendment improves the tooth?s eventual visualization, thus permitting a better evolutive follow-up of its eruption process and, most importantly, providing the tooth with buccal attached gingiva that will accompany it in its downward progression, procuring a cervical contour without retraction, a satisfactory esthetic outcome and a physiologically correct periodontal ridge. The traditional apical repositioning flap also bestows the canine with attached gingiva; however, since the flap is sutured apically and its width is significantly …
Oral Health in people over 64 years of age, institutionalized in Centres for the Aged in the Vigo Health District Spain, 2005
2008
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal disease and the condition of and need for dental prosthesis in individuals over the age of 64. Design: A cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study was carried out among all the residents in 3 Centres for the Aged in Vigo-Spain. The standardized criteria of the DMFT (Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth) index and The Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) of the World Health Organization (WHO) were used. Results: 459 subjects were examined with a mean age of 83.8 years, 23% were men and 77% were women; 45% fit for everyday life and 23% require intensive care. In the…
Dentinal sensitivity : concept and methodology for its objective evaluation
2008
Dentinal sensitivity is a clinical condition of some importance, particularly in periodontal patients. Symptoms appear on applying a triggering stimulus to the exposed dentine - the particularity being that the pain is similar to that of other dental disorders of different etiology and treatment. Hence the importance of a correct differential diagnosis. The main problem not only in clinical practice when treating the disorder, but also in designing studies for the objective evaluation of dentinal sensitivity, is the difficulty of standardizing, evaluating and interpreting the clinical condition in its different degrees. Thus, consensus in designing and evaluating studies of dentinal sensiti…
Dietary habits and oral health related behaviors in relation to DMFT indexes of a group of young adult patients attending a dental school
2008
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the dietary habits and oral health related behaviors in relation to the dental health status in terms of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT index) of a group of young adults attending to a dental school located in a major city in Turkey. Study Design: A total of 416 young adults (247 females and 169 males) with an age range of 18-25 (Mean 23.2 sd 0.97) attending the Oral Diagnosis department participated in the study. The patients completed a questionnaire including questions about demographic factors, dietary habits and oral health related behaviors. Subsequently, the DMFT index and plaque index was calculated. Descriptive st…
Ozone Therapy as a treatment modality for temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction [abstract]
2018
Temporo-mandibular (TMJ) disorders are of multi-factorial etiology. Numerous attempts have been made to identify the causes however, a great controversy still exists. Emotional stress, malocclusion and bruxism of the teeth are thought to be important factors in TMJ disorders. The limitations of mouth opening, deviation of the mandible on opening, joint noises and pain are among the common signs and symptoms of TMJ disorders. Concerning the treatment, different surgical and non- surgical techniques have been tied by several clinicians. In the recent years, ozone therapy is tried as a new treatment modality for many diseases particularly joint affection. So this study was carried out to asses…
Multiple dens invaginatus, mulberry molar and conical teeth : case report and genetic considerations
2009
Dens in dente, also known as dens invaginatus and dilated compound odontoma, is a malformation that can occur on primary, permanent, or supernumerary teeth that is characterized by a deep invagination of the surface of a crown or root covered with enamel. This abnormality in tooth morphology generally affect the maxillary lateral incisors but several cases of multiple dens invaginatus have been reported in the literature. A 15 year-old female patient is reported here presenting five dens invaginatus: four in the permanent mandibular incisors and one in the permanent, maxillary left central incisor, additionally the following dental findings were observed: a permanent mandibular left mulberr…

Trismus as the first manifestation of cholangiocarcinoma
2008
The initial presentation of a cholangiocarcinoma (CC) as trismus due to metastasis to the parotid gland is extremely rare and no previous reports have been found in the literature. A 29-year-old woman presented trismus that initiated 2 months before admission, just after superior left third molar extraction. Physical examination revealed severe trismus and a mass in the parotid gland. Computed tomography (CT) showed a heterogeneous mass in the left parotid gland. The next day she presented jaundice, bilirubinuria, and fever, followed by massive bleeding, intravascular disseminated coagulation, and respiratory insufficiency. Two days later she died. At autopsy, the parotid tumor was identifi…
