Glomus tumour of the masticatory space mimicking oral mandibular pathology
RESUMEN El tumor gl ómico es una neoplasia mesenquimal derivada de la célula muscular lisa modificada del aparato glómico. Solo se han descrito 39 casos en la cavidad oral. Una mujer de 32 años presentó dolor intenso e hipoestesia en el área del nervio mandibular. El examen físico oral reveló un abultamiento su ave sensible a la palpación. La ortopantomografía mostró una imagen radiolúcida y bien definida en la rama mandibular que sugiere un trastorno óseo. Sin embargo, el TC y el angio-TC mostraron una lesión hipervascular en el espacio masticatorio derecho. Se optó por un abordaje quirúrgico intr aoral de...

Oral manifestation of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma: an unusual and challenging case
We present the case of a patient previously diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma type T, with clinical manifestation in the oral cavity, who presented a poor response to the initial chemotherapeutic scheme. Due to the therapeutic failure, new biopsies and immunohistochemical analysis were requested, being the oral cavity sample the one that confirmed the diagnosis, this time correctly, of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, thus modifying the initial therapeutic scheme to one of greater intensity, achieving a favorable evolution of the disease. The present article corresponds to the first case of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma ...

Unmasking the uncommon: post covid-19's sinister encore. A clinical report of acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis in a non-diabetic, non-steroid therapy patient
We report a case of acute invasive fungal rhino-sinusitis (mucormycosis) in a 42 year old patient with no history of diabetes or steroid therapy but recently diagnosed with COVID-19. The patient presented with facial swelling, loose teeth, and imaging findings consistent with mucormycosis. The history, examination, and laboratory investigations were sufficient to exclude other causes of immunocompromised status in the patient. The diagnosis was confirmed through KOH staining of excised tissue, which tested positive for mucor. The patient underwent systemic antifungal therapy and Functional Endoscopic Sinus surgery (FESS) a...

Criteria agreement for the surgical management of impacted/retained canines among orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons: a pilot study
Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados indican que, aunque existe alguna alineación en las prácticas de manejo entre estos dos grupos profesionales, también hay una considerable variabilidad. Esto puede reflejar diferencias en la for mación, experiencia y preferencias individuales. A pesar de la limitación de una muestra pequeña, estos hallazgos sugieren la necesidad de directrices clínicas más claras y/o formación adicional para mejorar la coherencia en el manejo de los caninos retenidos.ABSTRACT Introduction: Canines are dental pieces considered as important in the stomatognathic system. Currently, there is a larg...

Removal of osteosynthesis elements associated with maxillofacial trauma surgery in a public hospital in Santiago, Chile. Retrospective study of 4 years
Conclusiones: Los resultados encontrados muestran una baja prevalencia de la retira de OTS, los hombres son los más afectados, el sitio anatómico de retiro frecuente es el hueso mandibular, las causas principales son la exposición de la placa o infección. Estos hallazgos son concordantes con lo reportado en la literatura.ABSTRACT Introduction: Surgical management of maxillofacial trauma involves the use of osteosynthesis elements (OTS) for open reduction and rigid internal fixation. However, there are reasons that determine their removal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of osteosynthesis materi...

Design modifications in subperiosteal implants to avoid complications. Presentation of a case series study and literature review
Conclusiones: A pesar de las limitaciones del estudio consideramos que el uso de ISP en pacientes con atrofia severa del maxilar es un tratamiento predecible y con excelentes resultados. La exposición es la principal complicación en nue stra serie de casos y consideramos que el uso de ISP dobles individuales y de una guía de corte minimizan el riesgo de que aparezca.ABSTRACT Introduction: Severe resorption of the maxilla in fully edentulous patients sometimes makes it impossible to place standard endoosseous implants to rehabilitate the absence of teeth. For such severe atrophies, subperiosteal implants were patented...

Acquired Factor XIII deficiency as a cause of massive hemorrhage with upper airway compromise in oncological surgery of the oral cavity
We present the case of a 70-year-old man with previously undiagnosed acquired F. XIII deficiency who, after undergoing surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth, suffered oral and bilateral cervical bleeding causing airway compromise.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis in the mandibular condyle and ramus. Endoscopic diagnosis. Case report
This study presents the case of a 6-year-old female patient, with a bone lesion in the right mandibular ramus and condyle at an unusual location. A sample of the pathological tissue was taken by intraoral endoscopy to avoid comorbidities and esthetic sequelae. After a joint medical evaluation, the lesion was diagnosed as a monofocal LCH with special site involvement, establishing a single systemic treatment with indomethacin, as opposed to the chemotherapy regimen recommended by the International Histiocyte Society, in order to reduce the adverse effects of the latter. Two months after the beginning of the pharmacological ...

Orthomorphic surgery for correction of mandibular dysmorphology post tmj ankylosis. A report of 4 cases and review of literature
ABSTRACT Mandibular dysmorphology is predominantly a result of uncoordinated growth deficiency or surfeit. Unilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis during the active growth phase, if left unoperated, brings about changes in the size and shape of the mandible and the surrounding structures. The use of orthognathic surgery in correcting the facial deformities arising from discrepancies in spatial relationships although well accepted is unable to correct anomalies arising from an altered morphology. The surgical correction using orthomorphic principles restore the morphology without changing the occlusal status, thus prov...

Simultaneous orthognathic surgery and implant-supported rehabilitation using customized subperiosteal or supraosseous implants
We present a clinical case in which, using subperiosteal or supraosseous implants, that is to say, three-dimensional personalized metallic titanium structures manufactured digitally, we have managed to achieve two objectives at the same time: 1) correction of a severe facial deformity, and 2) furnish the patient with fixations or implants for the implant-supported rehabilitation of her complete maxillary edentulism. We are not aware of any similar case published in the literature to date. We believe that this new, relatively simple technique can be an alternative to complex surgeries that involve the use of complicated bon...

Radiotherapy and survival risk in dental implants: overview of systematic reviews
The objective of this work was to evaluate, through a overview of systematic reviews, the survival of implants placed in mandibles irradiated compared with non-irradiated mandibles. An electronic search was carried out between 2018 and 2022 in the Medline / Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science databases with the search strategy "Radiotherapy AND Dental Implants AND survival", selecting only systematic reviews with meta-analysis of randomized clinical studies and/or or observational. Thirty-eight records were identified, of which six were analyzed after applying the eligibility criteria. Their results showed a confirmation bet...

Design and validation of a questionnaire to measure antibiotic knowledge and prescribing habits in oral surgery
Conclusiones: El riguroso diseño y validación de este estudio proporciona u n instrumento con suficiente validez predictiva para su posterior aplicación y evaluación de los conocimientos y hábitos de prescripción antibiótica en cirugía bucal.ABSTRACT Objective: In recent decades, antibiotic resistance has become a global public health problem. Dentists should not remain oblivious to this serious problem, as they are responsible for around 10 % of antibiotic prescriptions in the out-of-hospital setting. The purpose of the present study was to design and validate an instrument to analyse the knowledge and antibiot...
