Radicular groove are one among the morphologic defects of the teeth, which have been reported as predisposing factors for periodontal disease. Palatogingival grooves may be of varied length and depth and once exposed to oral environment, bacterial plaque and calcified deposits may lodge in it. It acts as a plaque retentive area, and also impairs attachment of periodontal fibers, thus causing pe...

JADA, Vol. 134, July 2003 877 The canine region is the most common location for the odontogenic keratocyst in the maxilla. D E N T I S T R Y & M E D I C I N E views and intraoral periapical films, in most cases are adequate to determine the location and estimate the size of an OKC. Advanced imaging techniques like computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can be useful in large cas...

AIM The aim of this report is to present the management of three cases of different magnitude affecting the periodontal attachment apparatus due to the presence of a palato-radicular groove (PRG). BACKGROUND The palato-radicular groove is a developmental anomaly often associated with localized periodontitis and pulpal necrosis. CASE DESCRIPTION The authors present three cases involving the ...

Gingival clefts adjacent to the maxillary canine teeth present a challenge to the veterinary dental surgeon. Periodontal disease results in loss of attached gingiva resulting in periodontal pockets and/or gingival recession. Recession can extend apically toward or beyond the mucogingival margin resulting in clinical exposure of the root surface and subsequent cleft formation. A lateral sliding ...

The palatal groove is a developmental anomaly; when it is present in a tooth, it causes periodontal as well as endodontic problems. These grooves often present a challenge to the clinicians as diagnosing and treatment planning that requires an interdisciplinary treatment approach. This case report describes the successful collaborative management of a maxillary lateral incisor with an extensive...

tailgut cyst is a very rare lesion of the retrorectal space seemingly derived from embryonic remnants of the tail gut which often causes rectal signs and symptoms. a unique case of this lesion presenting as a subcutaneous mass lateral to the coccyx is hereby described

Dental radiographs have been widely used by dentists in monitoring the progress of the periodontal defect treatment. And more importantly, digital dental X-rays make computer aided dental X-rays analysis possible and convenience. In digital dental X-rays the regions of the cysts are of low contrast and the pixel intensity distribution is not homogenous so cyst segmentation is a complex problem ...

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Az állcsonti cysták helytálló diagnosztikája a klinikai, radiológiai és patológiai leletek együttes értékelésével lehetséges. Korábbi munkánk során többször tapasztaltuk klinikoradiopatológiai kommunikáció korreláció hiányát, ez olykor inadekvát diagnózisok felállításához vezetett. Célkitűzés: Célunk ezen kommunikációs probléma mértékének becslése annak bemutatása, hogy...

UNLABELLED Intraneural ganglion cysts are rare in occurrence and most commonly involve the peroneal nerve at the fibular neck. We present a case of a traumatically induced intraneural ganglion cyst of the sural nerve that developed after a nondisplaced posterior malleolus ankle fracture. The intraneural ganglion cyst was connected to the subtalar joint by its articular branch and ascended sever...

Tooth related factors such as palatoradicular groove can be one of the causes for localized periodontal destruction. Such pathological process may result in apicomarginal defect along with inflammation of pulp. This creates challenging situation which clinician must be capable of performing advanced periodontal regenerative procedures for the successful management. This case report discusses cl...
