En el síndrome de ardor bucal el paciente refiere un dolor crónico que no suele acompañarse de lesiones mucosas u otros signos clínicos. Aunque la lengua es la localización más importante, también afecta a los labios, el paladar y la mucosa yugal e incluso a la garganta y el suelo de la boca. Con el propósito de analizar los factores epidemiológicos y determinar si este síndrome se asocia con alguna alteración oral o sistémica se realizó un estudio sobre 25 pacientes con síndrome de ardor bucal que acudieron al
La fusión dental es la unión de dos gérmenes dentales normalmente separados, mientras que la geminación se define como el intento de división de un único germen dental. La fusión y geminación de molares es poco frecuente en la dentición permanente. Describimos un caso clínico de un tercer molar inferior derecho fusionado a un cuarto molar supernumerario en un paciente varón de 36 años que ha presentado repetidos episodios de pericoronaritis. Tras el estudio radiológico se realiza la exodoncia del cordal semiincluido bajo anestesia local. Llevamos a cabo una revisión bibliográfica al respecto.
Bone resorption often prevents elderly patients from wearing complete mandibular over dentures. This has a negative impact on the quality of life of patients, since it affects their speech, chewing ability and social relationships. Implant-supported over dentures have been proven to be superior to conventional dentures, both in terms of retention and stability.We report the case of an 82 year-old woman with a severely resorbed mandible that was rehabilitated with a 2-implant supported mandibular over denture.According to the reviewed literature, 2-implant over dentures is the preferred treatment for elderly patients with bone resorption due to its simplicity and reliability in the long-term.
The root cyst is a cyst of odontogenic epithelial origin and inflammatory cause. It represents one of the most frequent cyst found on the oral cavity and has greater frequency at the maxillary level. The diagnosis is usually a casual finding on a routine X-ray. They are associated to tooth with negative vitality and the size is very variable. The treatment is a combined endodontic (root canal treatment) and surgical treatment (excision of the lesion). The diagnosis of certainty is obtained by a histopathological analysis.
In this clinical case, a common situation of this type of lesions is shown, although in this case the patient comes to the clinic with symptoms. The root canal treatment of the affected tooth was performed. The periapical lesion did not disappear, so cystectomy was performed. The sample was sent for histopathological analysis that confirmed the diagnosis of radicular cyst.
After 6 months follow-up, a periapical x-ray revealed how the lesion was ossifying.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
