Clinicopathological study of jaw cysts in southeast region of Turkey.

Objective: The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze clinic and radiologic features and the prevalence of jaw cysts in southeast region of Turkey. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in 149 cysts of the jaw diagnosed among 407 individuals who were taken biopsy in our department from October 2008 to December 2012. All cysts were treated by enucleation, marsupialization, or combination, and all cases were histologically examined. Results: One-hundred-and-forty-eight cases were classified odontogenic, one was non-odontogenic. There were 89 cysts (59.7%) in men, 60 (40.3%) in women. The mean age was 32.72 years. We found 80 cysts (35 F, 45 M) in the maxillary and 69 (28 F, 41 M) in mandible. It is observed that 94 were radicular cysts (63%), 40 were dentigerous cysts (26.9%), 9 were odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) (6.1%), 5 were residual radicular cysts (3.4%), and 1 was nasopalatine cyst (0.6%). In radicular cysts, 56 of them (59.5%) were located in the anterior region of the jaws; 18 dentigerous cysts and 2 OKCs were found in the posterior region of mandible. Clinically, the chief complaint of patients was expansion and pain. Radiographically, scalloping of the lesion between the teeth was found in 1 case, root resorption was seen in 3 cases, and displacement of the teeth and follicles was observed in 16 cases. Conclusions: We found similar prevalence of jaw cysts that reported in the literature, in which most odontogenic cysts (OCs) were inflammatory origin.

A tunnel shape defect on maxillary bone after accidental injection of formocresol instead of anesthetic solution.

Accidental injection or leakages of various chemical disinfectants used during root canal preparation into adjacent tissues have been shown to have deleterious effects on surrounding tissue. Formocresol (FC) is an effective intracanal disinfectant used in endodontic procedures. However, it is known to have harmful effects into adjacent tissues. The aim of this article is to present an unusual case in which a 28-year-old male patient developed gingival and bone necrosis after the accidental injection of FC instead of local anesthetic solution for tooth extraction and to review cases in the literature where complications have occurred due to the use of FC.

Peripheral Facial Nerve Paralysis Triggered by Alveolar Osteitis.

Peripheral facial nerve paralysis is the most common cranial nerve disorder; it is determined by the branches of the seventh cranial nerve and results in a characteristic facial distortion that is determined in part by the nerve branches involved. Peripheral facial nerve paralysis during dental treatment is very rare; when it does occur, it can be associated with the injection of local anesthetic, prolonged attempts to remove a mandibular third molar, and subsequent infection. Our article presents the case of a patient admitted with unilateral peripheral facial nerve paralysis occurring simultaneously with alveolar osteitis.

Mandibulanin distal migre dişleri

Objectives: It was aimed to determine the distally migrated teeth from patients living Southeast Anatolian Region and discuss their treatment choices Materials and Methods: The present study was performed by retrospectively investigating panoramic radiographies of the 10234 patients referred to Gaziantep University, Department of Oral And Maxillofacial Radiology between 2008 and 2010 years. Radiographically impacted teeth and distally migrated teeth from the original side were recorded. The wisdom teeth were not included in this study. Results: The frequency of the distally migrated teeth was found as 0.019 percent. Two cases were recorded as distally migration, one of them was left mandibular canine and the other was right mandibular first premolar tooth. Conclusions: Distal migration events are rarely seen dental anomalies than mesial migrations and transmigrations. O ZET Amac: Bu calismada Guneydogu Anadolu Bolge’sindeki bireylerdeki mevcut distale dogru hareket eden gomulu dis varligini tespit etmek ve bunlarin tedavi planlarini tartismak amaclanmistir. Gerec ve Yontem: 2008 ile 2010 yillari arasinda Gaziantep Universitesi Dis Hekimligi Fakultesi Agiz, Dis ve Cene Radyolojisi klinigine cesitli nedenlerden dolayi basvuran 10234 hastanin panoramik radyografilerinin geriye donuk olarak taranmasi ile gerceklestirilmistir. Radyografik olarak gomulu kalmis ve orijinal surme yerinden distale dogru migrasyonu gerceklesmis disler kaydedildi. 20 yas disleri bu calismada degerlendirilmemistir. Bulgular: Distal migrasyonun gorulme sikligi % 0.019 olarak tespit edildi. Distale migrasyon oldugu saptanan iki olgunun birisi sol mandibular kanin dis iken digeri ise sag mandibular birinci premolar distir. Sonuclar: Distal migrasyon olgulari mesial migrasyon veya transmigrasyon olgularina gore daha nadir gorulen dis anomalisidir. Anahtar Kelime: Distal migrasyon, panoramik radyografi, retrospektif calisma.
