[Total temporomandibular joint replacement with alloplastic prosthesis].

Three total temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement surgeries were performed on two patients with TMJ ankylosis using W. Lorenz system. The first surgery was performed on a female patient with osseous ankylosis who had no mandibular movement since she was 18 months old.

[Odontogenic myxoma].

Background: the odontogenic myxoma is a recurrent benign neoplasm that when it grows can generate pain, tooth mobility and dysesthesia. Prevalent in adults with an average between the 28.8 years and is rare in minors; It is more common in women.

[Osteosynthesis with 2-octylcyanoacrylate and sodium bicarbonate in zygomatic arch fractures: animal model results].

Background: 2-octylcyanoacrylate (2OCA) is a liquid monomer that polymerizes on contact with a surface by an exothermic reaction creating a strong and flexible film. The addition of sodium bicarbonate accelerates the polymerization. The aim was to use the combination of 2OCA and sodium bicarbonate in the treatment of zygomatic arch fractures in an animal model and to evaluate the biocompatibility and bone healing.
