Palatogingival grooves are developmental malformations quite notorious for precipitating endodontic - periodontal lesions. Owing to their inconspicuous occurrence, funnel-shaped morphology and variable extent on tooth root, they promote adherence of plaque and bacteria to levels significant for the development of pathology. Several treatment approaches have been recognized in literature for the...

Surgical separation of supernumerary teeth fused to permanent incisor teethhas typically given rise to residual post surgical periodontal defects, induding loss of attachment and deep periodontal pocketing with persistent inflammation. Other complications include devitalisation of the retained tooth section, ankylosis, external and replacement resorption. A unique technique of using guided tiss...

Historically meniscal cysts have been treated with either an open total menisectomy, isolated cyst excision, or a combination of the two procedures. The advent of arthroscopic techniques has led to innovative treatment options for meniscal cyst management. A review of meniscal cysts and the results of arthroscopic treatment form the basis of this study. From 1986 to 1991, 18 patients with menis...

Objective This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the frequency and types of periapical radiographic lesions (PARLs) associated with pulpitis in patients visiting a tertiary care hospital. Methodology A sample diagnosed pulpitis, aged 18 years or older, was recruited following convenient sampling technique. Clinical examinations were conducted confirm diagnosis, evaluations, including (PA...

to report the oral findings, including dental anomalies, ectopic eruption of the maxillary permanent first molars and periodontal disease and soft tissue alterations, in a subject with apert syndrome. clinical and radiographic examination of a patient with apert syndrome, aged 21 years old, not previously submitted for orthodontic or orthognathic treatment. dental anomalies were present in a pa...

Lumbar facet cysts are frequently found in patients with facet degeneration and segmental instability. When the facet cyst is localized in the neural foramina and lateral recess or becomes large, it can cause radiculopathy or neurogenic claudication. These symptomatic cysts are typically treated interventionally with drainage and a corticosteroid injection or attempts via overinflation to ruptu...

Lateral ventricular shunting alone is often considered to be adequate treatment for hydrocephalus caused by Dandy-Walker syndrome. A patient is presented in whom progressive spastic tetraparesis and signs of severe brainstem compression developed due to an entrapped posterior fossa cysts, in spite of an adequately functioning lateral ventricular shunt. Addition of a cystoperitoneal shunt result...

Dentigerous cysts constitute 20% of all odontogenic and are often located in the mandible maxilla. They seen at young ages men. Patients usually asymptomatic, diagnosis is established by dental radiographs routine scans. Surgery recommended for dentigerous because ameloblastoma, intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma may develop from them. Generally transoral route pr...
