Osteoid osteoma associated with the teeth: unusual presentation
Abstract Osteoid osteoma is a rare benign osseous neoplasm which rarely affects the jaws. It is more common in long bones which can lead to postural scoliosis. The clinical characteristic…
Ultrasound-guided intralesional laser treatment of venous malformation in the oral cavity
Abstract An ultrasound-guided intralesional photocoagulation (ILP) technique using a laser is described for treatment of deep venous malformations in the oral cavity. ILP is basically a blind operation and has…
Surgical treatment of macroglossia caused by systemic primary amyloidosis
Abstract Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of disorders caused by the extracellular deposition of a fibrillar protein called amyloid. Amyloid involvement of the tongue is almost universally secondary to systemic…
Odontogenic tumours: 240 cases diagnosed over 31years at a Brazilian university and a review of international literature
Abstract This study describes the epidemiology and clinical presentation of odontogenic tumours (OT) seen at a regional Brazilian oral and maxillofacial pathology service; to assess the quantitative impact of the…
The intrinsic error of a stereolithographic surgical template in implant guided surgery
Abstract The aim of the present study was to assess the clinical relevance of the potential mechanical error (intrinsic error) caused by the cylinder-burr gap in a ‘single type’ stereolithographic…
Effects of the 3D bone-to-implant contact and bone stiffness on the initial stability of a dental implant: micro-CT and resonance frequency analyses
Abstract This study investigated the effects of bone stiffness (elastic modulus) and three-dimensional (3D) bone-to-implant contact ratio (BIC%) on the primary stabilities of dental implants using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and…
Minimally invasive approach with tissue engineering for severe alveolar bone atrophy case
Abstract The gold standard of bone augmentation for dental implants in severe alveolar bone atrophy is autogenous bone graft, but it has disadvantages such as limited amounts of grafted bone,…
Effect of platelet rich plasma on bone regeneration in maxillary sinus augmentation (randomized clinical trial)
Abstract This study evaluates bone quality in sinus augmented with autogenous bone with or without platelet rich plasma (PRP) mix. 15 partially edentulous patients requiring maxillary sinus floor augmentation, followed…
