Temporal Flap as an Option for Buconasal Fistula Closure.

Maxillary defects with buconasal/businusal communications are situations difficult to manage and solve. Several treatment options are available on the literature, each one with its indication.

Simultaneous Occurrence of Central Giant Cell Granuloma and Odontogenic Keratocyst in Mandible.

Odontogenic keratocysts and central giant cell granulomas are distinct entities of separate origin that may appear simultaneously in the jaw, making them difficult to differentiate. The objectives of this paper are to report a case of a 54-year-old man presenting with a large lesion in the right mandible and to describe the histological characteristics of that lesion. Imaging revealed tumefaction and multilobulation.
