A Case Report of Infantile Mandibular Fracture Treatment with Double-Crossed Skeletal and ...
The mandibular fracture prevalence is relatively less in the pediatric group compared with adults. These fractures treatment is more challenging for oral and maxillofacial surgeons due to the concerns regarding mandible growth and the developing tooth buds. Regarding the articles, nondisplaced pediatric mandibular fractures are better treated by traditional methods of soft diet or closed reduction. There are only limited case reports about mandibular fracture treatment in infants. The authors have introduced a new technique using double-crossed direct skeletal wires reinforcing circummandibular wirings for conservative tre...

A Rare Case of Maxillary Compound Odontoma with an Unusual Large Number of Denticles
Odontoma is the most frequent odontogenic gnathic tumor, which is considered to be a hamartomatous lesion rather than an actual odontogenic tumor. Odontoma is basically composed of enamel and dentin, while it could also have various contents of cementum and pulp tissue. These lesions may manifest in two specific forms, including the compound type with multiple, small, tooth-like structures and the complex form with amorphous calcified masses. The early detection, management, and surgical enucleation of odontomas are recommended to prevent tooth eruption disturbances and further pathological complications. The present study...

In-vitro Evaluation of Microleakage in Root Canal Obturation with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate ...
Conclusion: According to the results, ProRoot MTA provided significantly less microleakage compared to the CEM cement. Therefore, the sealing ability of ProRoot MTA was higher than the CEM cement, which makes MTA a better material than CEM cement for canal obturation.   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

The Prevalence of Partial Changes in the Condylar Head in the Patients with Osteoarthritis: A ...
Conclusion: According to the results, the presence of osteophyte and erosion was more significant in the osteoarthritis group compared to the healthy subjects. The most prevalent bony changes in the condylar head were due to flattening, and the less prevalent changes were associated with Ely’s cysts. Moreover, osteophyte and erosion were more prevalent in the patients with osteoarthritis.   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

A Two-step Method for the Preparation of Implant Recipient Site in Severe Atrophic Maxilla: A ...
In this report, we described a case of horizontal ridge augmentation of an atrophic anterior maxillary ridge using ridge split in the first step and ridge expansion concomitant with implant placement in the second stage after 6 months. A two-step method of alveolar ridge split using piezosurgery followed by bone expansion is a reliable and successful treatment plan for implant recipient site rehabilitation in severe atrophic maxilla (less than 3 mm).   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

Removal of a Massive Pleomorphic Adenoma on the Palate Using Subtotal Maxillectomy: A Report of ...
This study aimed to present the case of a 51-year-old woman with an oversized mass on the palate (diameters: 8.5x5.5x2.5 cm), which extended from the anterior portion of the hard palate to the soft palate with a slow growth rate within 10 years. The case definition was accompanied by the determined surgical treatment.   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)
