Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder of connective tissue, while familial gigantiform cementoma is a condition that usually manifests as multiple radiopaque cementum-like masses throughout the jaws. This case report discusses the oral management and prosthetic rehabilitation of two patients presenting familial gigantiform cementoma with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

While treating patients with endometrial hyperplasia, the physician may face both bleeding and thrombotic complications, particularly, during hormonal or surgical treatment, which significantly increases risk of these complications. In addition, complications in gynecological result from congenital acquired thrombophilia, blood flow disorders (blood stasis), vascular wall damage, that is, class...

Periodontally affected root surfaces are hyper mineralized, and contaminated with cytotoxic and other biologically active substances especially endotoxins which play a pivotal role in preventing new connective tissue attachment to the exposed root surface. Following root planing the instrumented root surface is invariably covered by smear layer containing remnants of dental calculus, contaminat...

Volume 3 Diagnosis and Risk Prediction of Periodontal Diseases Presents a comprehensive discussion of the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, risk indicators and factors, individual risk profiles, and epidemiology of periodontal diseases. Considers periodontal diseases as a possible risk factor for systemic diseases and presents current and future trends in the management of periodontal diseases...

abstract castleman disease or giant node hyperplasia is a rare disorder of the lymphoid tissue most often involving the mediastinal lymph nodes. we report a case of localized retroperitoneal hyaline-vascular type of castleman disease. a 35-year old woman presented with mild epigastric pain with radiation to the back. amild anemia was the only abnormal associated finding. abdominal ultrasound an...

introduction: pyogenic granuloma (pg) is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity. it is a reactional response to minor trauma or chronic irritation. the most common treatment of pg is surgical excision but alternative approaches such as laser excision have also been proposed especially for pediatric patients. case report: herein, we present a case of gingival pyogenic granul...

the term odontoma is used to identify a tumor that is characterized by the production of mature enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp tissue and may interfere with the eruption of the associated tooth. the present report describes an odontoma in a 13-year-old boy, which is associated with an impacted tooth through a canal

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Periodontal disease is a common infectious disease, found worldwide, causing the destruction of the periodontium. The periodontium is a complex structure composed of both soft and hard tissues, thus an agent applied to regenerate the periodontium must be able to stimulate periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone regeneration. Recent studies demonstrated that ace...

Regeneration processes in the periodontium occur by the interaction of different cell populations. It is known that these cells are also capable of forming new periodontal tissue after culture in vitro. The present study investigated whether replanted cultured cells from the periodontium could contribute to attachment formation. Primary cell cultures from alveolar bone and periodontal ligament ...
