The objective of this article is to show a case of fronto-orbital reconstruction with prefabricated polymethyl methacrylate prosthesis. A 35-year-old male with alleged history of trauma following road traffic accident 3 months back reported with unaesthetic scar and deformity in right supraorbital region to us. As there was no functional deformity, the management was aimed at correcting the contour and esthetic only. The correction was achieved by overlaying the defect with a polymethyl methacrylate implant fabricated over a three-dimensional stereolithographically printed rapidly prototyped model. Postoperative phase was uneventful and esthetic outcome was satisfactory. The patient after 4-year follow-up reported with no discomfort and definite improvement in facial contour.
The glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare cyst that was rst described in 1988 as a distinct entity. This lesion can occur in either jaw and is a rare developmental odontogenic cyst that resembles several other odontogenic lesions. However, GOCs have non-specic clinical and radiographic ndings, and diagnosing them can be very difcult given their rarity. Furthermore, GOCs may be difcult to diagnose because they have overlapping histologic features with other intraosseous lesions, such as the lateral periodontal cyst and its botryoid variant, and the dentigerous cyst with metaplastic changes. In this study, we report a new case of GOC in a 42-year-old female patient and review previous cases reported in the literature. We discuss the different kinds of features which will help a clinician distinguish GOC from other lesions.
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.
