Spontaneous Regeneration of the Mandible after Hemimandibulectomy: Report of a Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mandibular defects may result from many conditions such as trauma, inflammatory diseases and tumors. There are rare cases reported in the literature that have demonstrated spontaneous bone regeneration after resection of the mandible. Several factors such as age, preservation of the periosteum and genetics seem to influence spontaneous bone regeneration capacity in individuals. Evaluation of these factors may lead to a better understanding of the mechanism of spontaneous bone regeneration and also help to create new methods for bone reconstruction. The purpose of this article was to describe the spontaneous regeneration of the hemi-mandible with a well shaped condyle and coronoid after resecting a mandibular pathologic lesion in a young man.

Introduction: The ectopic ciliated cyst is a rare non-odontogenic cyst which occurs as a delayed complication after maxillary sinus radical surgery; this lesion emerges due to the destruction of the sinus mucosa during the surgery and entrapment of the respiratoryepitheliumin the region. This lesion has been observed in very rare cases following genioplasty and bimaxillary orthognathic surgery....

Solitary plasmacytoma is a rare condition affecting the jaws which manifests itself as a single osteolytic lesion without plasmocytosis of bone marrow and constitutes approximately 3% of all plasma containing tumors. It is different from multiple myeloma in terms of its clinical behaviour and prognosis. The most common clinical presentation is local bone pain and lesion on alveolar ridge and af...
