Introduction: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) are uncommon non-neoplastic intraosseous lesions, and the occurrence of concomitant FD and ABC is extremely rare.
Case Report: An 11-year-old boy presented with gradual progressive enlargement of his right zygomatic bone over 4 years prior to presentation. Computed tomography revealed a lesion with a central bony area showing a ground-glass appearance surrounded by a well-defined expansile lesion with internal septations.
Objective: To evaluate clinically and radiographically, in humans, the healing of maxillary third molars postextraction sockets after application of different ridge preservation techniques 3 months after tooth extraction.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-six sockets (13 patients) were randomly assigned to 4 treatment modalities: deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen (DBBM-C), poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) with hydroxyapatite/β-TCP scaffold (PLGA/HA), PLGA/HA/β-TCP with 2.0% simvastatin scaffold (PLGA/HA/S), and spontaneous healing (control).
This report describes an atypical case of spontaneous mandibular regeneration of a large size bony defect after resection of an aseptic osteonecrotic area near the symphysis and parasymphyseal area. The patient underwent orthodontic therapy, vertical osteogenic distraction of the alveolar bone, and oral rehabilitation with an implant borne prosthesis. This case study also describes the 10-year follow-up of comprehensive multidisciplinary treatment and successful recovery of a patient's esthetic and functional aspects.
