Fibromyxoma represents a rare benign neoplasm that mostly affects the posterior region of the mandible. Here, we report the case of a 46-year-old male with a swelling of the right maxilla. After proper diagnosis, he was treated with enucleation and curettage of the tumor. The defect was filled with a pedicled buccal fat pad flap. The mesenchymal origin from the dental follicle of the fibromyxom...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether anterior and inferior displacement of the maxilla seen with rapid palatal expansion when done with a banded rapid palatal expansion appliance is significantly different from an occlusally bonded rapid palatal expansion appliance. It was hypothesized that the bonded appliance would limit unwanted displacement of the maxilla by producing vertical...

Primitive neuroectodermaltumor (PNET), which belongs to the Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) family of tumors, is mainly seen in children and young adults. PNETs are extremely rare in the maxilla. Here, we report a case of a 15y old female diagnosed with PNET of maxilla following detailed radiologic,histopathologic, immunohistochemicalstudies. Though the imaging features of PNET are non-specific and defini...

Transposition may affect both sexes equally and, although it may occur in the maxilla or in the mandible, the frequency of maxillary permanent canine involvement is the greatest [3]. In the maxilla the canine is transposed most frequently with the first premolar (Figure 1a,b), less often with the lateral incisor followed rarely by central incisor or second premolar In the mandible transposition...

The present report describes orthodontic treatment of a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion and maxillary hypopla-sia. To correct the retrusive maxilla, the treatment plan included an intra-oral removable device. It had the advantages of good patient cooperation, ease of construction and effective modification. Forward growth of the maxilla, minimal down-ward and backward rotation of t...

Giant cell granuloma is an uncommon bony lesion in the head and neck region, most commonly affecting the maxilla and mandible. Although it is a benign disease process, it can also be locally destructive. Surgery is the traditional and still the most accepted treatment for giant cell granuloma. The case described here involved the maxilla which was treated with surgical excision, followed by loc...

Congenitally missing teeth are one of the most prevalent dental anomalies in oral cavity. In this study, prevalence, distribution, and symmetry congenitally permanent among 1,865 patients aged 7 to 15 years who visited Pediatric Dentistry Department Wonju Severance Christian Hospital from March 2011 May 2021 took panoramic radiographs were investigated analyzed. Most had or two teeth, mainly se...

Dental implants are considered the first choice to replace lost or non-restorable teeth. However, posterior maxilla remains a challenge in its management because of quality bone maxilla. Osseo densification (OD) concept has been proposed literature improve primary implant stability, which is an important aspect osseointegration. Densah bur novel drills specially designed enhance density by dens...

An Automated Rapid Maxillary Expander (ARME) is a specially designed microcontroller-based orthodontic appliance to overcome the shortcomings imposed by the traditional maxillary expansion appliances. This new device is operates by automatically widening the maxilla (upper jaw) by expanding the midpalatal suture [1]. The ARME appliance that has been developed is a combination of modified butter...

Objective. Recently, some authors reported that maxillary teeth could be extracted without using palatal anesthesia, but they did not clearly specify the extracted teeth. This is important, because apparently the local anesthetic solution infiltrates the maxilla and achieves a sufficient anesthesia in the palatal side. Thus, thickness of the bone may affect the depth of anesthesia. The aim of t...
