BACKGROUND Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is a rare intraosseous carcinoma of the jaw; only 81 cases have been reported in the English literatures. CASE PRESENTATION We reported an additional case and reviewed the existing literature. A 70-year-old woman presented with a large painful radiolucent mandibular lesion from the right canine to the left angle area through the midline. No m...

Background Osteochondroma is a benign tumor that tends to develop in mandibular condyle and coronoid process in the craniofacial region. If tumor mass has grown from condyle into the infratemporal space with zygomatic arch obstructing the access, there are risks associated with surgical exposure and local resection of these masses. Case presentation This study reports on a case of osteochondr...

Surgical resection of mandible owing to benign, malignant neoplasm, osteoradionecrosis is common. The resection can be total or segmental depending on the lesion. Loss of mandibular continuity causes deviation of remaining mandibular segment towards the resected side and rotation inferiorly due to muscle pull and scar contracture affecting mastication and esthetics. Surgical reconstruction may ...

OBJECTIVE To discuss the use of condylar prostheses after mandibular resection for tumor. DESIGN Case series and literature review. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Four patients underwent condylar reconstruction with metallic condylar prostheses after hemimandibulectomy for either squamous cell cancer or Ewing sarcoma. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Complications related to the condyla...

Current treatment of odontogenic tumors (OT) ranges from simple enucleation by curettage or segmental resection. But the does not stop here, we need to think about rehabilitation patients. The Mandibular reconstruction can begin immediately postoperatively, but delayed be best option for treatment, because high risk recurrence in some OT, it is always a challenge. aim this study describe approa...

Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor with mesenchymal origin, most commonly found in extremities, pelvis and axial skeleton, including only 6% mandibular maxillary involvement. In jaws, this lesion is, generally, single predilection for posterior ramus mandible men the third or fouth decade of life. The aim study report 57year old woman diagnosed osteosarcoma region treated surgical resection asso...

BACKGROUND Recently, medical rapid prototyping (MRP) models, fabricated with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) techniques, have been applied to reconstructive surgery in the treatment of head and neck cancers. Here, we tested the use of preoperatively manufactured reconstruction plates, which were produced using MRP models. The clinical efficacy and esthetic outcome...

A patient, who underwent partial masseter muscle resection and mandibular angle reduction at a plastic surgery clinic, visited this hospital with major complaints of trismus and dysesthesia. A secondary angle formation due to a wrong surgical method was observed via clinical and radiological examinations, and the patient complained of trismus due to the postoperative scars and muscular atrophy ...
