calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (ceot) is an uncommon odontogenic tumor with well-known histopathological features and a challenging treatment plan. although some investigators advocate conservative approach as the treatment of choice, others believe in radical surgical excision to avoid recurrence or malignant transformation. the main objective of this case report is presenting an unus...

calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare odontogenic neoplasm. its occurrence in the maxillary sinus is very rare. maxillary tumors tend to be locally aggressive and may rapidly involve the surrounding vital structures.  we report a case of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor involving maxillary sinus in a 48 years old female patient with the oral mucosal involvement. the purpose o...

introduction: ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare, benign, asymptomatic tumor. the term ameloblastic fibro-odontoma was first used by hooker in 1967 as a separate lesion from ameloblastic odontoma.   case report: this case report describes an eleven years old female with large ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the right maxillary sinus.   conclusion: there is a low potential for recurrence after...

Abstract Background Accessory maxillary ostium (AMO) has a major role to play in the aetiology of sinusitis. Mucosal thickening is one key radiographic features chronic The aim this study was identify location AMOs and investigate association between Thickening [MT] AMO using Cone Beam Computed Tomography [CBCT]. Methods CBCT scans 400 sinuses from records 200 patients who seeked various dental...

Background: The thickness of maxillary sinus floor may reduce markedly because of protrusion of root apices of posterior teeth into the sinus. The possibility of oro-antral communication after extraction is highest for a maxillary first molar, as this tooth erupts first and is frequently extracted early. Aim: To assess the relationships between the roots of the maxillary first molar and the max...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to explore the maxillary sinus anatomy, its variations and volume in patients with a need for maxillary implant placement. MATERIAL AND METHODS Maxillary sinus data of 101 consecutive patients who underwent spiral computed tomography (CT) scans for preoperative implant planning in the maxilla at the Department of Periodontology, University Hospi...

maxillary sinus aplasia and hypoplasia are rare conditions that can cause symptoms such as headaches and voice alteration. the majority of patients are asymptomatic, but these conditions must be noticed for importance of differential diagnosis such as infection and neoplasms. conventional radiographs could not differentiate between infl ammatory mucosal thickening, neoplasm, and hypoplasia of t...
