Hemangioma is a benign tumor of dilated blood vessels. It is most commonly seen in the head and neck region and rarely in the oral cavity. Hemangiomas in the oral cavity are always of clinical importance and require appropriate treatment. We report here a case of a 34-year-old female patient with a swelling on the lateral surface of tongue which did not respond to the sclerosing agent and was finally confirmed as cavernous hemangioma on histological evaluation.
The efficacy of periodontal surgery in the treatment of periodontal diseases not yet been systematically evaluated. The objective of this review was to systematically evaluate the efficacy of periodontal surgical procedures in the various treatment modalities. Periodontal disease is multifaceted in nature and scope. The problems created due to this inflammatory condition are different eg. gingival enlargement, osseous deformities, mucogingival problem which ultimately may lead to tooth loss. There are different surgical treatment modalities to treat periodontitis and its clinical manifestation. There is no one way or single method to approach this inflammatory condition. The ultimate treatment selection is determined by training, ability, and philosophy to attain complete regeneration of the lost periodontal tissue.
Aim: This case report attempts an evaluation of the clinical and radiographic outcome of concentrated growth factors (CGF) along with nanohydroxyapatite bone substitute in considering grade II mandibular furcation defects.Background and objectives: Periodontal disease, if not interfered, will headway further with attachment loss, adequate enough to have a consequence on the bifurcation or trifurcation of multirooted teeth. There is a paucity of studies comparing the effects of CGF and nanohydroxyapatite crystals bone substitute in furcation defects.Case discussion: A male patient, 66 years old, had visited the outpatient department of periodontology, with a chief complaint of sensitivity in the lower left back tooth region for the past few months. The probing depth as measured by UNC-15 probe was 5 mm mesiobuccal, 10 mm midbuccal, 5 mm distobuccal and 5 mm midlingual. The furcation defect was filled using an appropriate combination of CGF and bone graft material (Sybograf). The flap was sutured with 3-0 silk suture to obtain primary closure.
Conclusion:The results have shown significant improvement in the gingival index and probing pocket depth (horizontal and vertical). There was a significant amount of bone fill also that was evident radiographically.
Clinical significance:The current case report boons a new approach for the treatment of grade II mandibular furcation defects through a collective approach of CGF and nanohydroxylapatite bone substitute.
Dentists encounter a wide range of hard-tissue injuries in practice. Dental extractions are one of the most common procedures in dentistry and may lead to several complications, including oral sinus complications, osteitis, infection, dysesthesia, pain, and bleeding.
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.
