The pattern of craniomaxillofacial fractures seen in children
and adolescents varies with evolving skeletal anatomy and
socioenvironmental factors. The general principles of treating
mandibular fractures are the same in children and adults:
Anatomic reduction is combined with stabilization adequate
to maintain it until bone union has occurred. But recognition
of some of the differences between children and their adult
counterparts is important in long-term esthetic and functional
facial rehabilitation as effect of injury, treatment provided
has a great influence on their ensuing growth.
The ameloblastoma has been described as benign but locally
invasive; benign and locally invasive with strong tendency
to recur; and locally malignant. Recurrence of this lesion in
to the infratemporal and temporal region are rarely reported
cases. Complete excision of lesion was done with the help
of the advance imaging modalities and possible cause of
recurrence in this case is discussed.
Cystic lesions are frequent in the oral cavity. They are defined as a pathologic cavity with or without fluid or semifluid material. Radicular cysts are the most common odontogenic cystic lesions of inflammatory origin affecting the jaws. They are most commonly found at the apices of the involved teeth. This case report presents the successful surgical management of large infected radicular cyst involving entire body region of right side of mandible. We illustrate the possibility of healing of cystic periapical lesions with conservation of vital structures.
