Benign fibro-osseous lesion and odontoma of the mandible: A report of a rare, hybrid lesion and review of literature
This report documents a case of a 12-year-old male with a combined benign fibro-osseous lesion (BFOL) and odontoma. Radiographic imaging revealed an extensive, well-defined, multilocular, radiolucent lesion with small radiopaque entities in the left mandible. Microscopic examination revealed a central BFOL with associated odontomas. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the third report of a combined BFOL and odontoma and an extensive review of the English language literature on combined BFOL and odontoma cases is included. This case is important because it demonstrates the importance of diagnosing bone lesions ...

End-to-end anastomosis of transected parotid duct in an emergency department: Clinical benefits from immediate repair and overview of treatment options
This article reports the case of a 31-year-old male patient who was presented to the emergency department of Evangelismos General Hospital of Athens, due to a sharp penetrating injury on left side of his face. Since transection of PD was clinically diagnosed, an end-to-end anastomosis was immediately carried out under local anesthesia. Within the early postoperative period, various angiocatheters of progressively increased diameters were used for stenting the repaired PD.

Evaluation of therapeutic effects of teriparatide in a rat model of zoledronic acid-induced bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis
In conclusion, ZOL has negative effects on osteoclasts. TPTD was found to be effective in eliminating the negative effects of ZOL. TPTD had positive effects in preventing bone resorption and promoting osteogenesis. In addition, TPTD improved osteoclastogenesis, which in turn led to the improvement of BRON.

Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition of the temporomandibular joint: A case report and review of the literature
We describe a case of CPPDd in the TMJ of a 54-year-old Japanese woman who was referred to our hospital with the complaints of unpainful swelling in the right TMJ region and restricted mouth opening. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed 46 × 42-mm and 27 × 18-mm calcified masses in the right TMJ region. The masses were both outside and inside the mandibular condyle, both of which extended to the skull base. Since we suspected a tumor in the TMJ, the lesion was partially excised for biopsy with the patient under general anesthesia. The microscopic examination showed deposits of calc...
