Background and objectives: Unerupted supernumerary teeth, depending on the morphology, number and distribution can give rise to various alterations in the eruption and development of those permanent teeth to which…
Background and objectives: The literature suggests that persistent intraradicular infections are the major cause of root canal treatment failure. Secondary to this colonization of the root canal system, microorganisms are…
Introduction: Aqueous sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is the most common irrigant used in modern endodontics. It is highly effective at dissolving organic debris and disinfecting the root canal system due to…
Introduction: The ossifying fibroma is a benign injury, asymptomatic, slow-growing compared with osteosarcoma, a painful destructive malignancy, with poor prognosis. Case: Male patient aged 37, referred to the service in…
Introduction: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, slow growing neoplasm accounting for 1–2% of head and neck malignancies, mainly affecting the salivary glands. There are no known risk factors….
Aims and objectives: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is well known to be related to chronic areca nut chewing. There is considerable evidence for the role that copper contained in the…
Introduction: Oral cancer is an ideal candidate for screening. Many oral cancers are preceded by pre malignant lesions which are amenable to detection through simple oral cavity examination (OCE). At…
Ductal papillomas are rare benign papillary tumours of the minor salivary glands. The World Health Organization (WHO) has sub-classified ductal papillomas to include inverted ductal papilloma, sialadenoma papilliferum and intraductal…
Published literature indicates that the prevalence of osteomyelitis in sickle cell anaemic patients is up to 29%. While sickle cell osteomyelitis is more commonly seen in long bones, its occurrence…
Introduction: Assessing the human papillomavirus (HPV) type-specific prevalence in head and neck cancer (HNSCC) is helpful for prediction of HPV vaccine impact. Objetive: To estimate the overall prevalence, and gender…
Aim: We aim in this unique case to explore the differential diagnosis and management of an important forgotten disease which continue to rise worldwide and is missed in daily practice….
Dentofacial infection comprises a major component of admissions for oral and maxillofacial departments. Whilst there is a body of evidence supporting the assimilation of culture and sensitivities from immunocompromised patients…
Dentofacial infection comprises a major component of admissions for oral and maxillofacial departments. Whilst there is a body of evidence supporting the assimilation of culture and sensitivities from immunocompromised patients…
Objective: Determinate volumetric dimensional changes in the upper way at the nasopharynx and oropharynx level, after bimaxillary orthognathic and monomaxilar surgery. Population, materials and method: Nineteen adult patients (12 men,…
The aim of this paper is to report the use of distraction osteogenesis to lengthening the mandible in order to improve the respiration on the children with severe upper airway…
Background and objectives: The prevalence of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is about 4–6% in men and 2–4% in women. It has been calculated that mortality among people sick…
Background: Classical studies on sleep apnea population have stated a clear pattern of epidemiological, facial and oral characteristics of OSAS patients, that remain until today. Some of those features are…
Background and objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea is often associated with congenital craniofacial malformations due to hypoplastic mandible and decreased pharyngeal airway. The patients were treated using external or internal distraction…
Background: Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing during sleep due to an alteration in anatomy or function of upper airway. When the airway collapses during…
Introduction: Sleep apnoea syndrome is characterized by repeated collapse of the upper airway related to excessive snoring, morning fatigue and witnessed apnoeas. OSAHS affects 2–5% of the population. Continuous positive…
