Background : Osteopontin (OPN) is a glycoprotein involved in inflammation, angiogenesis, and cancer metastasis, and has been found in the epithelium of keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) recently. Objective : Marsupialization…
Bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw is a rare but serious disease. In addition to the clinical examination radiological diagnostics and here in particular the cross-sectional imaging plays a major role….
Background and objectives : Controversy exists for the surgical approach of maxillary complex tumors extending deep into the oropharingeal cavity. Large resection margins are required, which in most cases cannot…
Objectives : The purpose of this study was to describe the results of oral propranolol treatment for infantile hemangioma (IH) in terms of efficacy, therapeutic approach and adverse events. Patients…
Soft tissue reconstruction in oral cavity defects are challenging surgery for crucial maintaining the oral cavity integrity and function. Tongue is one of the most versatile organ used for providing…
Large arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the mandible are rare and potentially life-threatening lesions. Pulsatile expansion of the buccal cortex, interdental gingival bleeding and socket haemorrhage post-extraction are typical features of…
