neoplasms that arise in the salivary glands are relatively rare, yet they represent a wide variety of both benign and malignant histologic subtypes. approximately 70% of the salivary gland tumors affect parotid gland with the submandibular gland being affected in 5-10% of the cases, sublingual gland in 1% and minor glands in 5-15% of the cases. submandibular gland tumors are relatively rare and...

Odontogenic sinus tracts are the most common cause of a chronically draining papule of the face and neck. Sinus tracts of dental origin opening on the skin with the absence of oral symptoms are often misdiagnosed and can result in inappropriate and ineffective treatment. Cutaneous sinus tracts of odontogenic origin usually appear more commonly in the submandibular or submental regions. A case o...

METHODS 49-year-old patient had an ectopic lower left third molal in the condylar region, suffered from a submandibular and masseter space abscess.

Deep neck space infections include, infections involving para-pharyngeal, retropharyngeal and submandibular spaces. Intrinsic or deep neck space infections usually represent the overgrowth of the normal flora with most infections being polymicrobial. The infections are of dental origin in a majority of the cases. The purpose of this study was to determine the various presentation, diagnosis and...

Securing the airway is a core skill in anaesthesia, the gold standard of which is tracheal intubation. Normally this is achieved after induction of anaesthesia. However, some circumstances demand an awake approach. Skilful airway management is critical in deep neck space infections. There is currently no universal agreement on the ideal method of airway control for these patients because this d...

D eep neck space infections are a potential complication of odontogenic infection, but rarely have been reported in children. In a recent study, 113 pediatric patients were hospitalized with maxillofacial infections with 32 from dental sources; however, the extension of these infections into deep neck spaces was not documented. 1 In a similar study of 67 children with abscess of the head and ne...

introduction: chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is a relatively uncommon disorder of the salivary gland. because of its clinical similarity to a salivary gland neoplasm, this condition has been known as kuttner tumor and is classified as a tumorlike lesion. case report: this is the first reported case of bilateral kuttner tumor of the submandibular glands in iran. it was initially diagnosed as a ...

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of salivary glands. Most PAs occur in the parotid (80%), followed by the submandibular gland (10%) and minor salivary and sublingual glands (10%). Submandibular gland PAs usually manifest in the submandibular area as a painless hard mass. Although several recurrent parotid gland PA cases have been reported in the literature, recurrent sub...

Objective: Odontogenic infections are one of the most common pathologies in oral and maxillofacial regions. The spread odontogenic after unsuccessful or late treatment can lead to serious complications. aim this study is examine epidemiological features management patients with facial abscesses.
 Methods: This retrospective included 88 area abscesses treated at Afyonkarahisar health scienc...
