The nasolabial cyst is a rare non-odontogenic cyst that develops within the skin adjacent to the ala of nose around the uppermost portion of the nasolabial crease; its pathogenesis is uncertain. This lesion grows slowly and measures between 1.5 to 3.0 cm; it is characterized clinically by a floating tumefaction in the nasolabial sulcus, which elevates the upper lip. The diagnosis is essentially based on the clinical findings. Bi-digital palpation revealed fluctulance between the floor of nasal vestibule and the gingivobuccal sulcus, which helps to confirm the diagnosis. This paper reports a case of a 35-year-old female patient that presented a soft swelling in the right ala of the nose; the clinical features suggested a nasolabial cyst. Complete surgical excision of the cyst was done under local anesthesia and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. In spite of the low occurrence of nasolabial cysts, it is important to recognize the clinical characteristics of this lesion. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature and discuss the histopathology, etiology and different treatment options of this condition.
Introduction: Third molar surgeries are the most commonly practiced surgeries in the dental office. The incidence of surgical site infection is still higher in spite of antibiotic prophylaxis owing to the need for the use of alternative measures. Antibacterial sutures are recently being used following third molar surgeries to reduce the incidence of surgical site infections and inflammatory sequels. Objectives: To assess vicryl plus sutures in comparison with conventional plain vicryl in various parameters like swelling, infection, trismus, erythema and pain. Methods: Total of thirty patients having bilateral impacted mandibular third molars were selected. Plain vicryl was used for primary closure after disimpaction on the former side (Group A) and vicryl plus containing triclosan for the same on the contralateral side (Group B). Swelling, trismus, erythema, infection and pain were compared between the groups consecutively on 3rd, 7th, 15th days and one month. The observations and results were compiled. Results: The study yielded significant statistical results in terms of trismus, pain and erythema although the numerical significance was seen in all parameters. Conclusion:Vicryl suture containing triclosan was comparatively more effective in reducing the post-surgical sequel after third molar surgery than conventional plain vicryl suture.
ABSTRACT:Ameloblastic fibroma is a relatively uncommon benign tumor of mixed odontogenic origin that can occur in either the mandible or the maxilla, but is most frequent in the posterior region of mandible. It usually occur in the first two decades of life and associated with impacted tooth, causing a delay in eruption or altering the dental eruption sequence.This report presents a case of ameloblastic fibroma in a 45 year old male who reported with a swelling in the right lower jaw region since 6 months.Segmentalresection of the mandible was carried out and reconstruction was done with iliac crest graft. Long term prognosis showed satisfactory healing and good facial esthetics.
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.
