Background: Osteochondroma at the level of the coronoid process is unusual, causing a slowly progressive facial asymmetry and limitation of mouth opening. Histologically, it is a bone tumor covered by a thin capsule of cartilage. We present a literature review of cases published to date and present a new case in which osteochondroma originating in the coronoid process was associated with the formation of a cyst at the body of the zygoma, necessitating the reconstruction of the body of the zygoma.

We describe a technical modification of the apical repositioning flap in the conservative surgical treatment of the impacted canine in buccal position. This amendment improves the tooth's eventual visualization, thus permitting a better evolutive follow-up of its eruption process and, most importantly, providing the tooth with buccal attached gingiva that will accompany it in its downward progression, procuring a cervical contour without retraction, a satisfactory esthetic outcome and a physiologically correct periodontal ridge. The traditional apical repositioning flap also bestows the canine with attached gingiva; however, since the flap is sutured apically and its width is significantly smaller than the remaining surgical defect, the wound's closure is compromised at one of its edges and often requires healing by second intention at an undesired location next to the buccal sulcus.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Raquel Villar Puchades"

  • - Raquel Villar Puchades has conducted significant research on oral and maxillofacial conditions, including the implications of osteochondroma in the coronoid process and its association with facial asymmetry, as illustrated in her 2011 study on the limitation of mouth opening.
  • - She has explored the management of macroglossia resulting from systemic amyloidosis, emphasizing the potential role of surgical intervention in her studies, although specific findings from this research are not detailed in the provided data.
  • - Villar Puchades has contributed to the field by developing technical modifications in surgical procedures, such as her 2008 article on the meridian incision technique for impacted maxillary canines, which aims to enhance esthetic outcomes and periodontal health during surgery.
