OBJECTIVE To report three cases of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis of the mandible, an inflammatory disease affecting one or more bones with absence of isolated microorganisms in affected areas. DESCRIPTION The first case is a 13 year-old female presenting with pain and fever after dental treatment. The patient received antibiotic treatment for osteomyelitis, but developed progress...

INTRODUCTION A case of spontaneous bone regeneration after mandible resection is reported. CASE REPORT A 6-year-old boy suffered from ameloblastoma in his right mandible. Six months after haemimandibulectomy, a bone regeneration forming a new form of mandible is seen. HISTOPATHOLOGY Lamellar mature bone was observed. Resection of the large portion of the mandible as the choice of treatment ...

primary de novo intraosseous carcinoma is a rare neoplastic lesion which commonly occurs in the jaws. it is an epithelial odontogenic malignancy arising from odontogenic epithelial residues in the bone rather than from a preexisting epithelial lesion. in the present case report, the clinical, radiological and histological features of primary de novo intraosseous carcinoma are discussed and its ...

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

conclusions however, root and canal anatomies of third molar teeth are unknown, but studies focusing on third molar teeth have shown their possibility of treatment. results according to the study on 173 mandibular third molars, 92.4%, 4.6%, and 2.89% had two, one, and three roots, respectively. majority of them had two or three canals and most of mesial root canals were type 2; but in 179 maxil...

parotid stafne bone defect is a very rare and infrequent variant, which is located on the buccal or lingual surface of the mandibular ascending ramus. in this paper, a case of parotid stafne defect, which was incidentally discovered during dental radiographic examination, is reported. this bone defect was observed as a lucent oval-shaped defect on the lingual aspect of the right mandibular ramu...

abstract background and aim: considering the widespread development of implants in dental treatment plans, linear measurements on panoramic radiography are of especial importance. in the present study we investigated the effect of head misalignment up to 15° around vertical and horizontal axes on the magnification rate of digital panoramic radiography in each part of upper and lower jaws. mater...

The neuropeptide Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) is a well-characterized neurotransmitter. However, little is known about the role of CGRP in osteogenesis and vascular genesis during the developmental formation of bone. In the present study, we assessed the abundance of CGRP mRNA and the mRNA of osteogenesis and vascular genesis markers in the foetal mouse mandible and leg bone (tibia). ...
