To date, no information about prevalence of P1Ms extraction among Turkish adolescents and young adults is documented. In addition, the present study has a larger population and complementary information about 3Ms development than previous studies.
This article investigates the effects of early bilateral mandibular molar teeth extraction that has never been investigated in the literature. The present study showed that the lengths of the condylar, ramal, and condylar plus ramal height were less in the study group than in a well-matched control group of without extraction.
The results showed that ABS administration did not increase the incidence of AO formation. Thus, ABS can be used safely for hemostasis after impacted mandibular third molar surgery.
Although more effective in long-term usage, systemic use of St John's wort hastens new bone regeneration at the premaxillary suture and may help prevent relapse after expansion.
A 24-year-old patient was referred to our clinic for treatment of impacted wisdom teeth. The patient had odontogenic pain on upper and lower right jaw. Clinical examination showed that upper and lower right first molars have deep caries and pulpitis pain. The wisdom teeth were not seen in mouth clinically. The patient anamnesis gives no wisdom teeth extraction story in past. The orthopantomograph was taken to see the positions and situations of all wisdom teeth. Bilaterally impacted teeth surrounded by large radiolucency were detected by orthopantomograph [Table/ Fig-1].
aBstRaCtEpidermoid and dermoid cysts of the jaws are seen rarely. The formation theories of the intraosseous epidermoid cyst (IEC) are not clear. The radiographic appearance is similar with unilocular cysts. Surgical enucleation is the suggested treatment method for epidermoid cysts. This case report presents bilateral mandibular intraosseous epidermoid cysts with impacted wisdom teeth which is the first documented case in the literature.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of an energy drink (ED) on soft tissue wound healing in the rat model. Thirty-six male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into 2 groups. A full-thickness paravertebral linear incision wound model was created. The experimental group (EG) received an ED (Red Bull), and the control group (CG) received water. Red Bull (3.57 mL/kg/d) was administered to the rats by the oral gavage method on the day before the skin incision and continued for 14 days. The rats were sacrificed (n = 6 in each group) on the 3rd, 7th, and 14th day of the study. Sections were obtained from excised linear wound healing site and stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson trichrome for morphological analysis. To assess angiogenesis on the sections, immunohistochemical studies were carried out using vascular endothelial growth factor antibody and alpha smooth muscle actin Ab-1. The breaking strength of the wound healing site was measured in Newtons using a tensiometer. Morphological analysis showed that collagen deposition in the wound areas was statistically higher in the EG compared with that of the CG at both the third and seventh days (P < 0.05). Re-epithelialization on healing sites in the EG was statistically higher than in the CG on the seventh day (P < 0.05). The results of the immunohistochemical studies indicated that the numbers of new blood vessels in the wound healing sites of the EG were significantly higher at the 7th and 14th days when compared with the CG (P < 0.05). The breaking strength of the wound healing sites was also significantly higher on the 7th and 14th days in the EG (P < 0.05). The results demonstrate that ED accelerates soft tissue wound healing and that its effect may be due to increased collagen deposition, re-epithelialization, and new blood vessel formation in the wound.
Glandular odontogenic cysts (GOCs) of the jaw are rare with well-defined limits radiologically, unusual histopathological features and a high recurrence rate. The radiographic appearance of GOCs vary and are not pathognomonic. Definitive diagnosis of the GOC is established only by histopathological examinations. Histologically, GOC is characterized by a thin nonkeratinized squamous epithelial lining, with papillary projections, nodular thickenings, mucous (goblet) cells with intraepithelial mucous pools and intraepithelial glandular, microcystic or duct-like structures. We present an unusual case of a bilateral GOC in the mandible. This case report is also the first documented case of bilateral GOC in the mandible.
A 38-year-old female patient, was referred complaining of the two malpositioned osseointegrated implants, which had been placed in the region of the left maxillary first premolar and molar tooth at a private practice, one year prior to this evaluation. The patient's dentist recommended removal of the implant and reconstruction of the region by bone graft. The patient was not satisfied and was referred to our clinic to solve the problem. We have determined that the severely angulated two implants would not support acceptable prosthetic treatment. However, when the gingiva formers were applied, it could be seen more clearly that the two implants were placed too buccally [Table/ Fig-1]. We concurred with the referring dentist's advice to remove the implant and reconstruct the region by bone graft. The patient refused this option because of the time (about 9-10 months) and trouble involved, as well as the cost. Therefore, alveolar osteotomy was planned to reposition the implants. The stone cast model was prepared for preoperative model surgery. The new position of alveolar segment with the two implants was simulated by using the sectioned stone cast model and diagnostic waxing. A prefabricated acrylic resin surgical splint was fabricated on the maxillary cast to be used during surgical procedure to determine the definitive position of alveolar segment [Table/ Fig-2]. In addition, this splint was used to fix bone segments for four weeks after surgery.
Case RepoRt 2A 48-year-old male patient, was referred by his dentist to our clinic complaining of a malpositioned implant in the region of tooth 22. In clinical examination, adequate bone and soft tissue healing was observed [Table/ Fig-1]. Therefore, osteotomy was planned to replace the implant.
surgical procedureSince planned osteotomy consist of one or two teeth the most probable complication is thought to be necrosis of the bone segment. To avoid this complication blood supply of bone segment not only be disturbed but also had to be kept highest level. Therefore some measures were taken: 1-surgical procedure was achieved by palatal approach to avoid the marginal gingival recession and alveolar bone resorption and maintaining the marginal gingival harmony; 2-osteotomy segment was brought in to desired position by green stick fracture rather than complete mobility; 3-the buccal periosteal attachment remained intact through the entire surgery.Surgical procedure was performed under local anesthesia (Ultracaine 2% with 1:150.000). For case 1, a full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap between the left maxillary lateral tooth and posterior alveolar ridge was elevated on palatal side through sulcular incision. For case 2, a mucoperiosteal flap between the canine and central teeth was made. Dental implants have been used for a long time to achieve better prosthetic and health conditions in the mouth. With the increase in their usage, more complications have occurred, and methods of solving these problems have been developed. One complication is insertion of the implant in the wro...
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.
