The dentigerous cyst is the second most frequent odontogenic cyst after the root, being typically asymptomatic and commonly incidentally diagnosed. The objective of this case was to describe a successful treatment of a dentigerous cyst associated with an unerupted lower third molar, which extended from the condyle to the premolar region, treated by decompression followed by surgical enucleation. That said, a 19-year-old female patient, black, without underlying pathologies, came to the dental of...

Introduction: Protrusive anterior teeth in class II division 1 malocclusion cause the facial profile to become convex with anterior teeth retraction is expected to correct protrusive teeth and improve facial profile. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a change in lip position after incisor retraction in the treatment of class II division 1 malocclusion with extraction of maxillary premolars. This study wa ...

Introduction: The
knowledge of precise location of various mandibular anatomical landmarks is
mandatory to obtain the desired surgical outcome. Damage to the nerve can be
caused by perforation of the nerve canal during different surgical procedures.
Accessory mental foramen (AMF) is a relevant anatomic structure with widespread
importance as its presence may cause failure to achieve adequate l ...

The individual’s awareness of malocclusion, like the
necessity for orthodontic treatment, seems to be different at different ages,
as observed in orthodontic referrals. The information originating by
orthodontist and proposed to the patient may be filled in writing and in oral
form. The contemporary world requires that it can appear on-line, too. The aim of
the study is to define the gap of ch ...

Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a benign intraosseous tumor, but locally invasive, having
a high rate of recurrence. It preferably locates in posterior mandibular regions,
followed by the incisors, maxillary and; exceptionally, the mandibular condyle.
Odontogenic myxoma can be found most often in young adults aged 25-35 years
although lesions may occur over a lifetime, reporting the lowest prevalence in
childhood with a predilection fo ...

Treatment of Class II
division 1 malocclusion mostly required two maxillary first premolars in order
to provide spaces for maxillary anterior teeth retraction. Anterior teeth
retraction may cause loss of anchorage. This study aimed at evaluating the
effects of anterior teeth retraction towards first maxillary molar loss of
anchorage. It was conducted by observing any mesial drifting of first maxillary
molar occurred in
patients wi ...

Recent investigations suggest that the viruses of the family
Herpesviridae are associated with periodontal disease, demonstrating a possible
association with the presence of Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV), Herpes Simplex
Virus 1 (HSV-1) and Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) in periodontal tissues. Aim: To
analyze the association between the presence of HSV-1, HCMV and EBV in patients
with chronic or aggressive periodontitis. Methods: Crevicular fluid samples
were collected from 11 patients with aggressive ...

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most
common subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), is an aggressive, rapidly
growing neoplasm which is the most common lymphoid neoplasm affecting adults.
Jaw involvement of NHL is rare, but among jaw lesions, the maxilla is more
frequently involved than the mandible. Primary lymphoma of the mandible is
often misdiagnosed clinically. A 43-year-old man admitted to the Ege
University, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Faculty of
Dentis...

Background: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a bilateral synovial
joint between the mandible and the temporal bone of the skull. TMJ disorders
(TMDs) are a set of complicated and poorly understood clinical conditions, in
which TMDs are associated with a number of symptoms including pain and limited
jaw movement. The increasing scientific evidence suggests that genetic factors
play a significant role in the pathology of TMDs. However, the underlying
mechanism of TMDs remains largely unknown. ...

Objective:
To measure the impact of fixed orthodontic therapy in the correction of
malocclusion in adults and to evaluate the influence of factors associated with
this impact. Methods: The sample consisted of 288 adult patients who had
undergone fixed orthodontic therapy. The adequacy of orthodontic treatment was
assessed by the PAR index in models of initial and final study. Associated
factors were divided into two groups: socio-economic demographic variables
(gender, education level, type of s...
