Introduction: Brown tumours are boney complications of hyperparathyroidism. They giant cell lesions that often appear as an expansile osteolytic lesion of the bone. We discuss the diagnosis and management of a brown tumour that presented as a non-healing extraction socket. Case Report: A 59 year old male presented with a one year history of a non-healing extraction socket on the lower left mand...

OBJECTIVES To assess the incidence and awareness of taekwondo athletes in Saudi Arabia regarding oral and maxillofacial (OMF) injuries and their prevention. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, an online questionnaire about the incidence and awareness of OMF injuries and their prevention was developed and distributed to taekwondo athletes in Saudi Arabia via their coaches.  Results: Sixty-ei...

Esthetics is a prime concern for a young lady. Any anomaly in the anterior tooth may create anxiety and depression. This anxiety and depression may hamper her married life and overall personality. This case report reveals an unerupted right central incisor situated in a strange position, creating space in the maxillary anterior region and giving an unesthetic appearance. Autotransplantation is ...

Internal root resorption is a result of complex interaction of resorbing and inflammatory cells which are responsible for progressive destruction of intraradicular dentin along the middle and apical thirds of the canal walls due to osteoclastic action. It is a rare phenomenon that can manifest through a slow or rapid progression. If the IRR is extensive and the prognosis of endodontic treatment...

Epidemiological studies have suggested that cola beverage consumption may affect bone metabolism and increase bone fracture risk. Experimental evidence linking cola beverage consumption to deleterious effects on bone is lacking. Herein, we investigated whether cola beverage consumption from weaning to early puberty delays the rate of reparative bone formation inside the socket of an extracted t...

Accelerating wound healing after tooth extraction is beneficial in dental treatment. Application of antioxidants, such as reduced coenzyme Q10 (rCoQ10), may promote wound healing after tooth extraction. In this study, we examined the effects of topical application of rCoQ10 on wound healing after tooth extraction in rats. After maxillary first molars were extracted, male Fischer 344 rats (8 wee...

Improvements in implant designs have helped advance successful immediate anterior implant placement into fresh extraction sockets. Clinical techniques described in this case enable practitioners to achieve predictable esthetic success using a method that limits the amount of buccal contour change of the extraction site ridge and potentially enhances the thickness of the peri-implant soft tissue...

Following tooth extraction, the alveolar ridge undergoes an inevitable remodeling process that influences implant therapy of the edentulous area. Socket grafting is a commonly adopted therapy for the preservation of alveolar bone structures in combination or not with immediate implant placement although the biological bases lying behind this treatment modality are not fully understood and often...

Introduction : Tooth auto-transplantation has a high success rate therapy when limiting the extra-oral time of graft. In this way, printing 3D model germ can be useful tool in order to prepare receiving site. Observation We treated case post extractional oro-sinusal communication closure using pattern adapt alveolar socket wisdom tooth auto-transplantation. Comment Extra-oral spent by graft was...
