Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency of decompression in treating odontogenic cystic lesions of the jaws in children.

Materials And Methods: All consecutive odontogenic cysts occurring in children and treated by decompression from 1994 to 2009 at 1 maxillofacial center were included in the present study. Clinical data included age, gender, jaw, histopathologic diagnosis, and decompression time.

Objective was to describe the effect of bioactive glass putty with and without topical simvastatin on new bone formation in critical-sized defects of rat calvaria. A calvarial bone defect was created in 20 male Wistar rats and filled with bioactive glass alone (n = 10) or combined with simvastatin (n = 10). After 4 weeks, the defects were histomorphometrically evaluated for volume fraction (Vv) of woven bone, vessel density, bioglass quantity, and inflammation.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical appearance and rate of ulceration of oral mucosal malignancies, and to investigate the accuracy of clinical provisional diagnoses.

Methods: A 10-year retrospective analysis, which included diagnostic biopsies of malignant tumors of the oral mucosa. The clinical provisional diagnoses were compared with final diagnoses.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of decompression as the initial treatment for odontogenic cysts.

Study Design: Pre- and postdecompression panoramic radiographs of 57 patients treated for 73 odontogenic cysts were reviewed for reduction parameters. Findings were evaluated against time of decompression and clinical and histopathologic data.

This study was conducted to establish the efficiency of microcomputerized tomography (micro-CT) in detection of trabecular bone remodeling of onlay grafts in a rodent calvaria model, and to compare bone remodeling after onlay grafts with beta-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) or coral calcium carbonate. Ten rats received calvarial onlay blocks-5 with TCP and 5 with coral calcium carbonate. The grafts were fixed with a titanium miniplate screw and were covered with a collagen resorbable membrane.

Objectives: To characterize the clinical manifestations of Actinomyces-associated lesions of the oral mucosa and jawbones, and to correlate the clinical course and treatment requirements with the findings of histomorphometric analysis.

Study Design: The study was a 10-year retrospective analysis of archived cases with microscopic identification of Actinomyces infection. Actinomyces colonies were identified, using hematoxylin-eosin, Gram, and periodic acid-Schiff stains, exhibiting filamentous morphology with color variation between center and periphery.

Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of the long-term administration of intranasal calcitonin spray for the treatment of central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) in a retrospective case study.

Study Design: The medical files of 5 patients (4 male, 1 female; ages 8-66 years) with CGCG of the jaws treated with calcitonin nasal spray 200 U/spray once or twice daily were reviewed for lesion-related parameters, outcome, and adverse effects of therapy.

Results: Three lesions were located in the mandibular body and ramus region and 2 in the anterior maxilla.

Objectives: The purpose of this case series was to describe late complications of maxillary sinus augmentation procedures, including paranasal sinusitis and oroantral fistula, and to discuss the definitive surgical methods of treatment.

Study Design: The case series included 13 patients hospitalized for a failed lateral-approach maxillary sinus augmentation, performed by a dental practitioner, with or without simultaneous implant placement. Data on patient gender and age, presenting signs and symptoms, radiographic appearance, method of repair, and follow-up were recorded.

The behavior of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the salivary glands has been shown to be unpredictable in terms of local and distant spread and mortality. We retrospectively studied 35 operations in 34 patients who had had a pathologic diagnosis of ACC of the salivary glands and who had been treated over a 20-year period and followed for a minimum of 10 years. We analyzed the effect that different factors had on outcomes.
