Therapeutic management of the odontogenic keratocyst. An energetic approach with a conservative perspective and review of the current therapeutic opt…
2020
Background Odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) are cystic lesions appearing in the jaws, usually asymptomatic with a progressive growth into the bone. Many of them are diagnosed by a routine radiological examination. Material and methods This study reports a 12-year-old girl that presented an asymptomatic large radiolucent unilocular lesion associated to the crown of 3.8 that caused displacement of the molar and the inferior alveolar canal. Differential diagnosis included OKC, unicystic ameloblastoma, ameloblastic fibroma, dentigerous cyst and orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst. Two surgical interventions were performed; first, a marsupialization, and 10 months after, the third molar extraction pl…
Marsupialización modificada de ránula gigante intraoral: reporte de caso
2016
ResumenLa ránula intraoral es una enfermedad benigna seudoquística de extravasación que tiene su origen en las glándulas salivales sublinguales. Es una entidad poco prevalente. Es más frecuente en niños y adolescentes, con características clínicas propias que la diferencian de otras entidades de la boca.Su tratamiento es quirúrgico y varias técnicas han sido descritas en la literatura: marsupialización simple y modificada, enucleación de la lesión, extirpación de la glándula junto con enucleación de la ránula.Si bien la extirpación de la glándula junto con la enucleación de la lesión es el tratamiento definitivo radical y más aceptado, la marsupialización modificada puede ser útil como alte…
Hybrid ameloblastoma and central giant cell lesion : challenge of early diagnosis
2020
Hybrid lesions encompass the occurrence of different entities in one lesion. A 67-year-old woman was referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service for treatment of mandibular Central Giant Cell Lesion (CGCL) previously diagnosed. Intraoral examination revealed edentulism and a painless swelling extending from the alveolar ridge to the buccal vestibule with hard consistency covered by normal mucosae, with unknown duration. Panoramic radiograph revealed a large, multilocular and well-defined radiolucent lesion extending from the region of left mandibular lateral incisor teeth to right mandibular first molar with no evidence of osseous perforation. Initially, a treatment with intrales…
Histological changes in odontogenic parakeratinized keratocysts treated with marsupialization followed by enucleation
2020
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether marsupialization treatment induces changes in the histology of odontogenic keratocyst epithelium and to compare our experience with the literature. Material and Methods A retrospective revision of histological samples was performed. 5 patients with odontogenic keratocyst treated with marsupialization follow by enucleation were selected. Histologic evaluation analyzed the changes in the keratocyst epithelium after marsupialization in terms of type of keratinization, thickness of the epithelium and connective tissue, the presence of acanthosis, the presence and grade of fibrosis, the type and grade of inflammation and the presence a…
Modified marsupialisation of a giant intraoral ranula: Case report
2016
La ránula intraoral es una enfermedad benigna seudoquística de extravasación que tiene su origen en las glándulas salivales sublinguales. Es una entidad poco prevalente. Es más frecuente en niños y adolescentes, con características clínicas propias que la diferencian de otras entidades de la boca. Su tratamiento es quirúrgico y varias técnicas han sido descritas en la literatura: marsupialización simple y modificada, enucleación de la lesión, extirpación de la glándula junto con enucleación de la ránula. Si bien la extirpación de la glándula junto con la enucleación de la lesión es el tratamiento definitivo radical y más aceptado, la marsupialización modificada puede ser útil como alternati…
Marsupialization of a large dentigerous cyst in the mandible with orthodontic extrusion of three impacted teeth. A case report
2017
The dentigerous cyst (DC) is the most common type of developmental odontogenic cyst. It is usually asymptomatic and associated with the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth. However, after a long duration, it is likely to cause significant bone resorption, cortical expansion, and tooth displacement. This report presents a large infected DC in the mandible of a 12-year-old female patient. The DC was located inferior to badly decayed primary molars and surrounded three impacted permanent teeth: canine, first premolar, which had a dilacerated root, and second premolar. The DC was treated successfully by marsupialization and extrusion of the impacted teeth. In conclusion, the combination of …
Pediatric oral ranula: clinical follow-up study of 57 cases
2010
Objective: To present 57 cases of oral ranula in children, analyzing the clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome of these lesions. Methods: The clinical histories of patients diagnosed with oral ranula, seen between 1998 and 2008 at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of a reference Children?s Hospital (0-14 years) were reviewed. All patients with clinical diagnosis of oral ranula were included. Results: Fifty-seven patients, 21 boys and 36 girls, with a mean age of 5.1 years were included in the study. Thirtytwo cases were located on the left side of the floor of the mouth. The lesion diameter varied between 1 and 3 cm in 27 cases, 22 were less than 1 cm, and 8 were larger than…
Reduction rate by decompression as a treatment of odontogenic cysts
2017
Background: Odontogenic cysts are defined as those cysts that arise from odontogenic epithelium and occur in the tooth-bearing regions of the jaws. Cystectomy, marsupialization or decompression of odontogenic cyst are treatment approach to this pathology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the decompression as the primary treatment of the cystic lesions of the jaws and them reduction rates involving different factors. Material and Methods: 23 patients with odontogenic cysts of the jaws, previously diagnosed by anatomical histopathology (follicular cysts (7) and radicular cysts (16)) underwent decompression as an initial treatment. Clinical examination and pre and pos…
Successful conservative treatment of a mandibular unicystic ameloblastoma : 13-year follow-up
2018
Ameloblastoma is an uncommon, locally aggressive benign odontogenic tumor and can reach considerable dimensions causing facial deformity and functional impairment. They are characterized by local aggressiveness. It is recommended that maxillary ameloblastomas be treated aggressively due to proximity of various vital structures. Conservative treatments such as marsupialization, enucleation and curettage while preserving bone integrity seem to be associated with a high rate of recurrence. Treatment evaluation of ameloblastomas is a complex issue, as ideally it should not be so destructive due to the benign nature of this lesion, but should be extensive enough to avoid recurrences. The present…
Cysts and tumors of the jaws treated by marsupialization: A description of 4 clinical cases
2019
Since the 4th edition of the World Health Organization's Classification of Head and Neck Tumours was published in January of 2017, the keratocystic odontogenic tumor is back into the cyst category as odontogenic keratocyst (OKC). Depending on the size of the cyst, its location and the patients' age, several treatment options are available: curettage, enucleation, radical treatment and marsupialization. The marsupialization is a conservative technique used in early tumor stages, as curative treatment for the odontogenic cyst. Despite its disadvantages and controversies, the marsupialization remains an interesting therapeutic choice in the case of large cysts, or in very young or old patients…
