Aim: To determine the morphological changes of the mandibular anatomical structures in relation to the masticatory pattern of patients attending the Craniomandibular Disorders Research Unit (Unicram) of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Carabobo, Valencia, Venezuela. Methods: Descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional study, whose sample consisted of 39 patients from 20 to 30 years old who attended the Craniomandibular Disorders Research Unit (UNICRAM) of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Carabobo, in a period of six months from March to September of the year 2021, selected based on the masticatory pattern of the patients who attending the temporomandibular disorders unit. It was verified if the patient is a unilateral chewer by giving him a piece of gum and asking him to chew it for 2 minutes, which, his chewing preference side could be observed, verifying the effectiveness of the AFM. With a panoramic radiograph, measurements were made through the Simoes Symmetry Panorogram. Results: The patients with the right working side highlighted an increase in the height and width of the condyle on the working side, while the balance side showed an increase in the width and height of the mandibular ramus; and in patients with the left working side, a decrease in the height and width of the condyle on the working side was found. Conclusions: Those patients who have a preference for unilateral chewing, develop chewing on that side. The jaw may undergo volume enlargement and ossification by mechanical stimulation

“…In the last few decades, different approaches were proposed in order to ameliorate dental treatments. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The use of implants to rehabilitate maxillary and mandibular edentulous areas has become a common practice worldwide, with reliable long-term results. In different clinical situations, a lack of supporting bone as a result of physiologic bone rearrangement, surgical trauma, or delayed restoration, generates problems in implant insertions.…”

Introduction: Alveolar split crest is an established surgical technique to enable implant insertion into narrow and atrophic alveolar crest. This surgical technique is adopted to position standard or large implants so that postextractive anatomy compromises with this attempt. The aim of this study was to evaluate the horizontal alveolar bone augmentation and its stability along time with a minimally invasive flapless technique. Materials and methods: Twenty-four implants were inserted in 10 patients during a 15-month period. Clinical parameters such as horizontal bone augmentation, intrasurgical complications, patient morbidity, implant loss, and vertical bone loss (VBL) were recorded in the first 3 years after surgery. Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), alveolar bone width was measured for both implants position and bone reconstructions. 6 months later, at the time of implant integration, a new low-dose CBCT was performed. Implant survival (IS) and VBL were evaluated radiographically for 3 years. Results: The initial bone thickness measured on the ridge is between 0.82 mm and 5.40 mm (average 2.43 mm), after the split crest the bone width is between 4.65 mm and 8.09 mm (average 6.39 mm). This leads to an increase in the alveolar bone width of between 0.80 mm and 6.01 mm (average 3.71 mm) on the ridge. No implant was lost at 3 years, and all implants are stable at the end of the study. Three years after the surgery, controls showed a VBL of between 0.0 mm and 1.2 mm (average 0.63 mm) around the inserted implants. These parameters suggest using a flapless technique to reduce bone resorption around the implant neck. Conclusion:A minimally invasive approach allows to reduce the surgical trauma and postsurgical discomfort. The complete vascular supply is maintained, the bone resorption is reduced, and the connective epithelium does not undergo postsurgical retraction, achieving the full maintenance of the residual keratinized gingiva. Clinical significance: A technique such as split crest can be a valid option to avoid autologous or heterologous bone grafts.

Unusual Appearance of Multiple Exostosis: Case Report

Unilateral mandibular bone exostosis located in the buccal region is a rare condition. A 25-year-old female who presented with unilateral mandibular bone exostosis had her clinical diagnosis confirmed using cone beam computed tomography. Additionally, a nodular torus palatinus was found in the midline of the palate. Wear faces on the vestibular cusps of 46 as well as thickening of the periodontal ligament space were present. Both are signs of occlusal trauma. The presence of mandibular tori could indicate other underlying conditions, such as the presence of parafunctional activity or systemic health conditions. Mandibular exostosis can remain for life without the need to be surgically removed unless it compromises prosthetic rehabilitation.
