cone beam computed tomography is a useful technique for imaging the craniofacial lesions. it produces more realistic images that facilitate interpretation. juvenile ossifying fibroma (jof) is a rare and benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that arises within the craniofacial bones, especially in the maxilla. mandibular lesions can be seen in 10% of the cases.in both jaws, it has a predilection for the...

abstract introductiion. there are a lot of edentulous patients who need complete dentures in any society. one of the most important problems of edentulous patients is remaining dental lesions. atrophy of maxillary or mandibular bone, infections abcesses, tumors and so on are among some other problems. in this study we tried to evaluate the panoramic radiography in order to detect these problems...

Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a rare slow-growing benign, locally invasive tumor, notorious for recurrence. It represents a broad spectrum of lesions of uncertain histogenesis with a characteristic histologic appearance. The prevalence of OM is principally quoted between 0.04 and 3.7% showing its rare occurrence. The second and third decades of life are believed to suffer the most. Similarly the p...

INTRODUCTION Ameloblastomas are odontogenic epithelial, locally invasive tumors of slow growth and mostly of benign behavior. Their frequency is low (they account for 1% of all head and neck tumors and about 11% of tumors of dental origin). Malignant variations of ameloblastoma are malignant ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma. They constitute less than 1% of all ameloblastomas. We present...

One hundred patients with recently acquired, externally visible mandibular deformity and no history of previous extraarticular mandible fracture were selected for retrospective analysis. All had been investigated clinically and with radiography, tomography, and high-field surface-coil MR imaging to determine the presence or absence and extent of temporomandibular joint degeneration. Temporomand...

Cyst-like lesions in the mandible rarely develop into malignancies, and the reported incidence is between 0.3 and 2%. The present study describes a rare case of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma of the mandible arising from an odontogenic cyst. A 59-year-old female was referred to Asahi University Murakami Memorial Hospital (Gifu, Japan), with acute pain in the right molars. An initi...
