Currently, most promising is use multicomponent osteoplastic materials order optimize reparative osteogenesis after cystectomy for extensive jaw cysts. The aim study improve method large upper with osteoplasty bone defect biocomposite combination directe...

Background In young patients, multiple osteomas in the jaw and sebaceous cysts are signs which usually precede the diagnosis of Gardner’s syndrome. It is the association of multiple colonic polyps (familial adenomatosis polyposis coli) and extracolonic findings. By the fourth decade of life the colonic polyps undergo malignant transformation. Case reports The oral manifestations are described i...

Basal cell nevus syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition with complete penetrance and variable expressivity. It is characterized by five major components, including multiple nevoid basal cell carcinomas, jaw cysts, congenital skeletal abnormalities, ectopic calcifications, and plantar or palmar pits. Other features include a host of benign tumors, ocular defects, and cleft lip and palate. G...

BACKGROUND Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS, Gorlin-Goltz syndrome) presents various symptoms and can disfigure patients. The estimated prevalence is around 1:100,000. OBJECTIVE To systematically investigate the clinical manifestations of NBCCS patients of the Zurich register and compare them with those described in 4 epidemiological studies performed in other countries. METHODS ...

This review article aimed to introduce a category of jaw lesions associated with impacted tooth. General search engines and specialized databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, MedLine Plus, Science Direct, Scopus, and well-recognized textbooks were used to find relevant studies using keywords such as "jaw lesion", "jaw disease", "impacted tooth", and "unerupted tooth".

AIM The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of maxillary sinus findings in elderly subjects above the age of 50 through the use of panoramic radiography and to test the hypothesis that such findings are more prevalent in dentate subjects. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 105 subjects over the age of 50 years were examined both clinically and radiographically in the Depa...

The authors report on their experience with bone defect treatment following surgery of jaw-bone cysts. This is based on the use of cadaveric ground spongiosis saturated with tetracycline and metronidazol solution. The study shows the above mentioned material is very suitable for bone defect therapy, and cost effective. The results were verified by clinical and X-ray examination.

Gorlin's syndrome, or basal cell nevus syndrome, is a relatively rare disease. It consists of a classic pentad of features comprised of multiple basal cell carcinomas, jaw cysts, calcification of the falx cerebri, pitting of the palmar and plantar surfaces and rib anomalies. A review of the clinical features, differential diagnosis, clinical work-up and current treatment is presented.
