The removal of impacted mandibular third molar is a common surgical procedure entailing some risk of complications, especially when the tooth and the inferior alveolar nerve and/or lingual cortical plate are in close proximity. A technique that can reduce the possibility of damage is the Ultra Sonic Bone Surgery. The aim of this report is to present a paradigmatic case of an impacted mandibular...

Ectopic third molar teeth are those that are impacted in unusual positions or that have been displaced and are at a distance from their normal anatomic location [1]. It is common have to ectopic eruption of a tooth within the oral cavity but rare in other sites of the jaw [2]. Reports are present with teeth eruption in the nasal septum, ascending ramus of mandible, mandibular condyle, and lower...

Introdouction: Impacted and partially erupted third molars can cause various symptoms and pathologies. The aim of this study was to determine the association between commonly observed pathological conditions and the impaction depth of lower third molar teeth. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs including 724 lower third molars were evaluated to asses...

  Abstract Introduction: Third molars  are the last teeth to grow and require more attention in the oral cavity because they can leave pathological effects. Considering the controversy clinical decisions about asymptomatic third molars, dentists’ lack of attention to over third molars developed during therapeutic recom-mendations for patients, and limited evidence about the effects of asympt...

This paper describes the autologous transplantation of a mandibular right third molar to replace the residual roots of the second molar in the same quadrant, preserving function and aesthetics. A 5-year clinical and radiographic follow-up was undertaken. After transplantation, the donor tooth received endodontic treatment and placement of calcium hydroxide, which was periodically replaced every...

Permanent alteration of sensation in the lip after the removal of mandibular third molar teeth is an unusual but important complication. Studies have been performed to assess the risk of nerve damage but most of these have been retrospective and poorly controlled. This prospective trial predicted the outcome of altered sensation prior to surgery based on assessment of a panoramic radiograph and...

A novel series of C-nucleosides, featuring the presence of a 1,2,3-triazole ring linked to an isoxazolidine system, has been designed as mimetics of the pyrimidine nucleobases. An antiproliferative effect was observed for compounds 17a and 17b: the growth inhibitory effect reaches the 50% in HepG2 and HT-29 cells and increases up to 56% in the SH-SY5Y cell line after 72 h of incubation at a 100...

People can direct their gaze at a visual target for extended periods of time. Yet, even during fixation the eyes make small, involuntary movements (e.g. tremor, drift, and microsaccades). This can be a problem during experiments that require stable fixation. The shape of a fixation target can be easily manipulated in the context of many experimental paradigms. Thus, from a purely methodological...
