Synchronous gubernacular canals with compound odontoma associated with a calcifying odontogenic cyst and transmigrated canine: An extremely rare event
This article reports the novel incidental concurrences of multiple oral lesions in a 13-year-old boy. Radiographically, an over-retained primary canine was seen with a subjacent mixed radiopacity and transmigrated permanent canine with a suspected dentigerous cyst (each with gubernacular canals). Treatment consisted of enucleation and removal of the impacted canine.

Class III β-tubulin expression during hard tissue formation in developing mouse teeth
In this study, we investigated TUBB3 expression in the developing mouse teeth using immunohistochemistry. Similar to previous research, immunohistochemistry with TUBB3-specific antibodies showed immunoreactivity in the nerve fiber around the tooth germ. However, TUBB3 immunoreactivity was minimal or not seen at all in the tooth germ at early cytological and histological differentiation stages of developing teeth. However, the immunoreactivity was intense in odontoblasts during dentin formation and in most ameloblasts at the secretory stage. Intense immunoreactivity was observed only in some ameloblasts at the maturation st...

Mandibular greenstick fracture healing: A conservative approach
Publication date: Available online 16 July 2019Source: Pediatric Dental JournalAuthor(s): Hiram Daniel López-Santacruz, Joselin Flores-Velázquez, Miguel Ángel Rosales-BerberAbstractIt is common that pediatric maxillofacial fractures develop after a traumatism. The lower calcification of pediatric bones allows them to be flexed in response to external forces, producing greenstick fractures. Many injuries that require surgical management in adults, could be conservatively managed in children due to anatomical, physiological and psychological factors. This is a case report of a six-year-old boy that presented a greenstick ...
