We report a case of a mucoepidermoid carcinoma associated with a maxillary cyst. The patient was an 18-year-old man presenting with the chief complaint of left buccal swelling. The left maxillary third molar was semi-impacted in the direction of the crown on the buccal side. Orthopantomography revealed a cystic radiolucency extending over a wide area, ranging from the left maxilla to the maxill...

The maxillary posterior area is the most challenging site for the dental implant. Although the sinus graft is a predictable and successful technique for rehabilitation of atrophic and pneumatized posterior maxilla, when there is severe destruction of alveolar bone, a very long crown length remains challenging after successful dental implants installation with sinus graft. We performed vertical ...

9 T estoration of the atrophied edentulous maxilla poses great dilemma to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon nd restorative dentist. Conventional removable denure prostheses are adequate for some individuals; but mproved technology in dental implantology has led any to request alternative approaches with imlants. Patients with adequate maxillary bone are deal candidates for implants, but are th...

INTRODUCTION In this study, we evaluated root and alveolar bone development in unilateral osseous impacted immature maxillary central incisors by cone-beam computed tomography before and after closed-eruption treatment, in comparison with naturally erupted contralateral immature maxillary central incisors. METHODS AND RESULTS The study included 30 patients, 20 boys and 10 girls, with a mean a...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to propose clinical guidelines for placing miniscrew implants using the results obtained from 3-dimensional analysis of maxillary anterior interdental alveolar bone by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS By using CBCT data from 52 adult patients (17 men and 35 women; mean age, 27.9 years), alveolar bone were measured in 3 regions: between the maxillary cen...

the palatogingival grooves are an anatomical anomaly in maxillary incisors and the presence of them may result in local periodontal pocket formation, bone loss and sometimes pulpal necrosis. in the present case, there was a groove on the palatal side of maxillary lateral incisor with vital pulp. the periodontal problem of the tooth was treated and the 6 month postoperative follow up showed atta...

augmentation of the maxillary sinus is a highly predictable and effective procedure to increase bone volume in the posterior maxilla. Success rates are equal to or better than that of all implants placed in nongrafted maxillary bone in or out of the sinus. Consequently, even in situations where the interocclusal dimension is normal or only moderately increased due to loss of bone height, bone a...

PURPOSE This study compares and evaluates the efficacy of graft materials after maxillary sinus bone grafts with autogenous tooth bone graft material (AutoBT), demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM). METHODS The study involved 30 sinuses in 26 patients who visited the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of Dentistry in...
