Spontaneous eruption of severely impacted teeth : the report of two cases
2019
The unerupted and impacted tooth is a common problem and the reason for many orthodontic and pediatric dental referrals, yet the approach to their management is still an area of controversy. This article presents two cases of severely impacted teeth that spontaneously erupted in the maxillary and mandibular arches. The first patient, a 9-year-old girl, presented a severe impaction of mandibular right and left second premolars. The second patient, a 7-year-old girl, presented with a severely impacted maxillary central incisor. In both cases, the teeth spontaneously erupted into excellent positions without surgical procedures and orthodontic traction. This raises important questions concernin…
Virtual surgical planning in orthognathic surgery with the use of patient-specific plates compared with conventional plates. A systematic review focu…
2022
BACKGROUND: Orthognathic surgery is a well-known surgical procedure for correction of facial deformities. The surgical procedure is performed by the use of conventional plates and by patient-specific osteosynthesis plates (PSOPs). The aim of this study is to investigate any differences in complications, financial expenses, professional and patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) in orthognathic surgery performed by conventional plates and by PSOPs.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, and Cochrane Library search was conducted. Human studies published in English through August 27, 2020 were included. Grey literature, unpublished literature as well as other databases like Scopus,…
Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma of Orbit-A rare case report and review of literature
2021
Fibro osseous lesions of the craniofacial skeleton are a benign condition in which the normal architecture of the bone is replaced by fibrous connective tissue with varying degrees of mineralization. JOF forms a special entity among the fibro osseous lesions because of its age of occurrence and its aggressive nature thereby mimicking a malignancy. The Juvenile Ossifying Fibromas were further subdivided into Psammomatoid and Trabecular variant based on their histopathological characteristics. They tend to differ in their mineralized portion with the trabecular variant showing woven bone while the psammamotoid shows lamellated and spherical ossicles in various shapes in a myxoid stroma interm…
Der Oberkiefer – das schlechtere Implantatlager?
1999
In the maxilla, it is sometimes necessary to use implants to achieve a good prosthetic result. However, an increased failure rate of maxillary implants seems to be a common clinical experience. This experience was investigated in a retrospective statistical analysis. In a retrospective study of 665 patients between 1987 and 1997, 2484 implants were examined. The implants in the upper jaw were compared to those in the lower jaw. Implants with and without autogenous bone grafts and fixtures in patients with alveolar ridge atrophy, tumor, or trauma were explored. In particular, the data obtained from the orthopantomograms after completion of the prosthetic superstructures were controlled for p…
Criteria for the prescription of oral bisphosphonates for the treatment of osteoporosis in a series of women referred for tooth extraction
2012
Objective: To evaluate the criteria for the prescription of oral bisphosphonates (OB) in a series of women with osteoporosis referred for tooth extraction. Study design: The study included 38 postmenopausal women on treatment with OBs. The following variables were analysed: age, weight, height, type of OB and duration of treatment, bone densitometry and risk factors for osteoporosis. In addition, the osteoporosis self-assessment tool (OST) was administered and collagen type I C-telopeptide (CTX) levels were measured. Results: Bone densitometry had only been performed in six patients (15.7%) before starting OB treatment. Based on the results of the OST, nine (23.6%) of the participants prese…
Bone Augmentation in Dental Implantology Using Press-Fit Bone Cylinders and Twin-Principle Diamond Hollow Drills: A Case Series
2009
Background: Bone transplants are mostly prepared with cutting drills, chisels, and rasps. These techniques are difficult for unexperienced surgeons, and the implant interface is less precise due to unstandardized preparation. Cylindrical bone transplants are a known alternative. Current techniques include fixation methods with osteosynthesis screws or the dental implant. Purpose: A new bone cylinder transplant technique is presented using a twin-drill principle resulting in a customized pressfit of the transplant without fixation devices and combining this with the superior grinding properties of a diamond coating. Materials and Methods: New cylindrical diamond hollow drills are used for cu…
Les membranes en chirurgie pré-implantaire
2012
The use of membranes in pre-implantation surgery is part of the guided bone regeneration (GBR) concept, one of the usual bone augmentation techniques. Membranes for GBR procedures have two main uses: a mechanical function to maintain bone regeneration space and a physical function as cellular barrier. The goal is to promote colonization of the regeneration space located under the membrane, by osteogenic cells from the residual bone walls. GBR was the subject of numerous publications and protocols since its first use in the 1980s. These protocols are mainly supported by team experience and the level of evidence is poor. Few indications are truly validated. The goal of our study was to review…

Leishmaniasis mucocutánea labial, las apariencias pueden engañar.
2019
espanolLa leishmaniasis es una infeccion endemica en nuestro medio. Dentro de sus presentaciones, la forma mucocutanea es la menos frecuente. A pesar de ello se ha de tener en cuenta incluso en casos clinicamente sugestivos de patologia tumoral, como el que presentamos. EnglishLeishmaniasis is an endemic disease in the mediterranean region. Although mucocutaneous presentation is not frequent, we should considerate it in the differential diagnosis of tumoral pathology.
