Tuberculous osteomyelitis of mandible is an extremely rare condition, particularly in comparison to pyogenic infections and neoplastic diseases involving the mandible. Although a rare occurrence, the differential diagnosis of tuberculous osteomyelitis must always keep in dentist’s mind when the routine therapy fails to respond. Here, we report an unusual case of primary tubercular osteomyelitis...

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a rare benign fibro-osseous neoplasm commonly involving the jaws majority of lesions occur in mandible bone. It can be discovered as an incidental finding radiological imaging. Symptomatic patients are presented with slowly growing mass bone and attain large size passage time. cause facial deformity if left untreated. We present such case right hemi-mandible bone, i...

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress developed in the bar connecting implants and in the mandible as a result of the elastic deformation of the mandible during mouth opening when using a finite element method (FEM). Materials and methods: A three-dimensional model of an edentulous mandible was generated based on the computer tomography (CT) data of a patient. Two cylindrical im...

Histomorphometric analyses of the mandible and femur were performed in senescence-accelerated mice (SAM) using SAMP6 as a senile osteoporosis (OP) model, SAMP8 as a temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) model, and SAMR1 as control. Thirty-six male mice at 2 or 4 months of age (6 for each strain and age) were used. The cortical thickness index (CTI), bone area (B.Ar/T.Ar), trabecular wi...

human mandibular premolars have earned the reputation for having an extremely complex root and root canal morphology. the incidence of multiple roots and canals in mandibular second premolars is lower than those in mandibular first premolars. mandibular second premolars with three root canals and separate foramina are very rare. in this case report, endodontic management of a three-rooted mandi...

introduction: the ectopic ciliated cyst is a rare non-odontogenic cyst which occurs as a delayed complication after maxillary sinus radical surgery; this lesion emerges due to the destruction of the sinus mucosa during the surgery and entrapment of the respiratoryepitheliumin the region. this lesion has been observed in very rare cases following genioplasty and bimaxillary orthognathic surgery....

Mice are arguably the dominant model organisms for studies investigating the effect of genetic traits on the pathways to mammalian skull and teeth development, thus being integral in exploring craniofacial and dental evolution. The aim of this study is to analyse the functional significance of masticatory loads on the mouse mandible and identify critical stress accumulations that could trigger ...
