ABSTRACT:In this report a case of actinomycosis in a five-month-old Holstein calf is described. The patient displayed a hard and immobile swelling in the mandible and fever. Computed tomography (CT) imaging of the skull was performed under deep sedation and revealed an asymmetrical appearance of the mandible with the presence of intra-mandibular hypodense lesions. Haematologic and serum biochemical profiles revealed leukocytosis, neutrophilia, hypoalbuminaemia and hypergammaglobulinaemia. Treatment consisted of flushing the lesion and administration of antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The calf responded to therapy and had recovered almost completely four months later. The present case indicates that CT is an effective non-invasive means of identifying mandibular lesions in cattle.
Objective: was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the use of Advanced-PRF with xenograft for obliteration of bone cavity in anterior maxillary region. Methods: this study included ten patients suffering from a cystic lesion in anterior maxillary area causing bony defect. Clinical examination was made to ensure the cases and to exclude any interfering maters. Radiographic examination was done preoperatively using digital panoramic x-ray and CT to ensure size will be of a critical size defect. Endodontic treatment for the corresponding teeth has been done before surgery. A-PRF has been prepared as soon before surgery to enucleate the lesion and apicectomy then xenograft block with A-PRF was put into the cavity. Follow up was done to evaluate clinical and radiographic progress. All reading was recorded and analyzed statistically. Results: The study showed an improvement in clinical features and bone density. Conclusion: The application graft with (A-PRF) is very effective in improving the healing process as well as decreasing the postoperative complication.
