1/9. Garre's osteomyelitis of an unusual origin in a 8-year-old child. A case report.Garre's osteomyelitis is a type of chronic osteomyelitis that primarily affects children and adolescents. Although the disease is well described in the dental literature and is usually associated with an odontogenic infection resulting from caries, a number of other causative factors have been occasionally reported, such as a dental extraction or a mild periodontitis. There have also been cases of unknown aetiology. This paper describes a case of Garre's osteomyelitis in an 8-year-old child, in whom the condition arose following a local periodontal infection in an ectopically erupting first permanent molar that was in infraocclusion. The lesion remained unresolved for a period of over 6 months as a result of misdiagnosis, following a number of unsuccessful treatment attempts. Identification of the true cause and treatment through periodontal surgery resulted in lesion resolution and resolved the diagnostic problem. dentists should be aware that the periodontium may be a potential source of infection for Garre's osteomyelitis in children, particularly in the presence of ectopically erupting posterior teeth. In such cases, periodontal treatment should be sufficient to treat the disease and extraction of the tooth involved may not be necessary.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/9. Unusual presentation of mandibular extraoral sinus in a fourteen year old girl: a case report.A case of fourteen year old healthy girl with complaint of a discharging sinus on the lower right side of face is reported. All teeth were vital and there was no evidence of periodontitis. There was no history of extraction of a tooth. Total leucocyte count, differential leucocyte count, fasting blood sugar, chest x-ray and routine urine examination were within normal limits. actinomycosis and scrofuloderma which simulate such a condition were ruled out by culture study. The intraoral periapical x-ray of mandibular molar showed questionable periapical changes at the time of presentation. But definite osteolysis was observed in the repeat radiograph after three months. It was decided to extract the second molar and curette the sinus tract. The extraction proved to be difficult. On examination of the extracted tooth, it was found that the mandibular second molar and second premolar were fused together. The radiograph of the tooth taken after extraction showed confluence of the premolar pulp with the periodontal membrane. On follow up, the lesion was found to heal satisfactorily.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/9. Facial sinus of dental origin: a case report.Sinus tracts of dental origin opening on the skin can be a diagnostic challenge. A delay in correctly diagnosing these lesions can result in ineffective and inappropriate treatment; however, if recognized early, the sinus tract usually resolves after appropriate endodontic therapy or extraction. We report a case of a cutaneous sinus tract secondary to a periapical abscess of the mandibular first molar tooth. The case was successfully treated by extraction and the sinus tract healed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/9. Odontogenic sinus tract to the neck skin: a case report.We describe a 22-year-old woman with neck skin sinus tract that developed as a consequence of dental infection. The patient was treated twice in an inappropriate way with recurrence of the sinus tract. We opted for an extraction of the tooth. This case illustrates the need for cooperative diagnostic referrals between physicians and dentists.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/9. Surgical treatment of complications 45 years after extraperiosteal pneumonolysis and plombage using acrylic resin balls for cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis.An infected axillary sinus tract discharged balls made of an acrylic resin consisting essentially of polymerized methyl methacrylate (Lucite) 45 years following performance of an extraperiosteal pneumonolysis and Lucite ball plombage for collapse therapy of right upper lobe cavitary tuberculosis. Surgical extraction of the balls was performed, followed by a partial decortication of the lung and intrathoracic transposition of a pectoralis major muscle flap to fill the residual pleural space. Primary healing was attained, and the patient is well 1 1/2 years after surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/9. Treatment of extraoral sinus tracts from traumatized teeth with apical periodontitis.When a draining lesion is encountered on the skin of the face, an endodontic origin should always be considered in differential diagnosis. Non-surgical endodontic therapy, sometimes complimented by surgery, or extraction are the choices for the treatment of these cases. Three cases of extraoral sinus tract on the chin caused by necrotic pulp of traumatized lower anterior teeth are presented. A paste consisting of calcium hydroxide and barium sulfate powder mixed with glycerin was used. Usage of calcium hydroxide paste was advocated for rapid and successful treatment of extraoral lesions communicating with necrotic teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/9. Importance of complete system removal of infected cardioverter-defibrillators.We describe a case of device infection after implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation managed by removal of all hardware except a portion of the epicardial sensing electrodes. Recurrent septic complications developed until all residual foreign material was eliminated. Despite anecdotal reports of successful management without device removal, extraction of all hardware components should be considered standard treatment for this complication.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/9. Unexpected extraction of a ventricular septal defect patch without an interventricular shunt.We report the case of a mediastinocutaneous fistula, 13 years after the total correction of tetralogy of fallot. During a fistula curettage operation, we unexpectedly extracted a ventricular septal defect patch. An interventricular shunt was not detected after the operation. The patient is well 3 years after the last operation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/9. Cutaneous sinus tract caused by vertical root fracture.This report presents a rare case of odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract caused by a vertical root fracture. The root-fractured molar was probably caused by an accidental blow by a cow 3 years ago. Despite all treatments by physicians and surgeons for nearly 1 year, the sinus tract recurred repeatedly. After diagnosis and extraction of the fractured molar by the dentist, the sinus tract healed uneventfully in a month.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
