BACKGROUND Current technological advances have allowed application of different study designs and techniques for investigation of dental anatomy. Some clinical studies have provided evidence that Cone Beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning is an important resource in assessment of root canal systems notably to identify MB2 canals in maxillary molars as CBCT scans allow in vivo dental investig...

The maxillary first molar usually has single palatal root. Incidence rate of maxillary first molar with two palatal roots is especially rare. We reported a case of young maxillary first molar with two palatal roots in this article. Anatomic characteristic of permanent maxillary molar is generally described as a group of teeth with three roots, one palatal and two buccalbut the root canal system...

Dentigerous cyst is a benign odontogenic cyst associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. It is usually single in occurrence and located in the mandible of middle-aged persons. The teeth commonly affected are in order of frequency, the mandibular third molars, maxillary canines, maxillary third molars and, rarely central incisors. The present case report describes the surgical enucleation of...

the aim of this study was to determine the prognosis and survival for patients with borderlineovarian tumor (bot). a retrospective review of 30 patients with serous andmucinous bot treated at or referred to our institution was performed. fifteenpatients (50%) had serous, and the others had mucinous bot. about 86% of allpatients in both groups were in stage i of the disease. the recurrent diseas...

BACKGROUND Primary osseous hemangiomas of the facial skeleton mimic malignancy. Their location in maxillary sinus, especially in infants is extremely rare. CASE CHARACTERISTICS 1- month-old full term boy with maxillary swelling. OBSERVATIONS Biopsy from oral route revealed hemangioma showing vascular channels lined by endothelial cells. Patient improved on oral steroids. MESSAGE Hemangiom...

Malignant tumours of nasal cavity and para nasal sinuses have a low incidence rate. Management of maxillary malignancies and/or surrounding structures necessitates the removal of partial or total maxilla, leaving the patient with a defect that compromises the function and integrity of the oral cavity. Stomatologic rehabilitation via palatal obturator is preferred in patients with poor prognosis...
