The ameloblastoma is a bening odontogenic tumor. The treatment planning in young persons is still not clear. We describe a case report of a young boy who was treated in our unit and we review the different approaches for this type of lesions, which nowadays still not clear in this patients.

Locking reconstruction plates have led to significant improvement in osteosynthesis and graft anchorage in mandibular reconstruction following the free fibula osteocutaneous flap. Plate extrusion is the most common complication associated with mandibular reconstruction, occurring in approximately 20% to 48% of cases; often necessitating plate removal once the bone flap has united to the mandibl...

Aims and objectives: To evaluate the efficiency of titanium lag screws in the management of oblique and sagittally displaced mandibular fractures. Also to analyze various complications encountered through this technique. Materials and methods: Twenty cases presenting with mandibular oblique, sagittaly displaced mandibular fractures requiring were selected in our study. Titanium lag screws were ...

Amidst several controversies involving orthodontic treatment and gingival recession, periodontal complications of tongue thrust habit especially in adults have not yet been fully investigated. This case report presents a successful clinical case of progressive spacing of incisors (PSI) with gingival recession treated with proper alveolar root housing and autogenous grafting. A 24 year old girl ...

A 9-year-old girl visited our hospital, complaining of a rapid-growing and rigid swelling on the left posterior mandibular area. Panoramic radiograph showed a moderately defined multilocular honeycomb appearance involving the left mandibular body. CT scan revealed an expansile, multilocular osteolytic lesion and multiple fluid levels within cystic spaces. Bone scan demonstrated increased radiot...

Introduction: Facial asymmetry is a three-dimensional problem and is common in humans. Depending on the severity of the condition and the cause, several treatment modalities are proposed. In this study, we report on our workflow treating facial mandibular asymmetries without malocclusion. Methodology: CT scans were used for preoperative planning and postoperative evaluation. 3D planning using t...

BACKGROUND We evaluated and compared the outcomes of different ossification processes in patients with alveolar cleft in whom correction was performed using endochondral bone graft or intramembranous bone graft. METHODS The patients were divided into two groups: the endochondral bone (iliac bone or rib bone) graft group and the intramembranous bone (mandibular bone) graft group. Medical recor...
