The purpose of this translational study was to investigate the role a high calcium phosphate (CaPO 4 ) therapy has in neutralizing local acidic pH, inducing bisphosphonate (BP) scavenging and…
Cutaneous metastasis from oral squamous cell carcinoma—an orphan subject revisited
Cutaneous metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a well documented complication. It is often present at presentation, or may be occult and appear as nodules following treatment with…

Can we remove the preauricular incision: modified rhytidectomy incision in parotidectomy
Objectives: Conservative parotidectomy has been for several decades an effective and well-established technique for the treatment of benign parotid gland tumor. But one of the annoying complications of parotidectomy is…
Radiofrequency coblation for oral lesions and tumors
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency coblation used in oral surgery. Materials and methods: From July 2008 to October 2010, 34 patients with oral lesions or tumors underwent local…
Double mandibular osteotomy technique with inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle preservation for improved access to tumors of the parapharyngeal space
The parapharyngeal space harbors 0.5% of all head and neck neoplasms. The surgical approach is the primary difficulty during these tumors resection once superiorly the access becomes more restricted by…
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor of the maxilla treated by conservative surgery: report of a case
