1/31. eosinophilic granuloma: a case report with pathologic fracture.Approximately 10% to 20% of all cases of eosinophilic granuloma occur in the jaws. A palpable mass with or without pain is the most frequent presenting clinical feature. Less common clinical signs include gingivitis, loose teeth, and oral ulceration with poor healing. We report a case of monostotic mandibular eosinophilic granuloma in a 38-year-old woman that initially manifested mandibular body fracture, an unusual and poorly documented clinical sign for this disease. The clinical and radiographic features, differential diagnosis, and treatment plan of the case are presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/31. The natural course of an ossifying fibroma. A case report.A patient with an ossifying fibroma in the mandible is presented, with a follow-up period of 38 years. The pathological findings and recommendations for therapy are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 277.90114283339keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |

4/31. Pyknodysostosis--a report of two cases with a brief review of the literature.Pyknodysostosis is a rare sclerosing bone disorder that has an autosomal dominant trait. It is characterized by short stature, brachycephaly, short and stubby fingers, open cranial sutures and fontanelle, and diffuse osteosclerosis, where multiple fractures of long bones and osteomyelitis of the jaw are frequent complications. We present a report of two cases of pyknodysostosis with evidence of long bone fractures and chronic suppurative osteomyelitis of the jaws in one of the cases. Some of the specific oral and radiological findings that are consistent with pyknodysostosis are reported, along with a brief review of the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/31. An unusual bilateral pathological fracture.An unusual case of a bilateral pathological fracture of the mandible has been presented. The fracture of the right side of the mandible was through an area of bacteroides osteomyelitis and the fracture of the left side of the mandible was through a large cementifying fibroma, which had replaced the left body of the mandible.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1111.6045713336keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |

We are reporting such a case.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1111.6045713336keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/31. Mandibular osteomyelitis and fracture successfully treated with vascularised iliac bone graft in a patient with pycnodysostosis.pycnodysostosis is a rare sclerosing bone disorder. Complications such as osteomyelitis and fracture of the jaws are not uncommon and difficult to treat. Treatment by reconstruction with a reconstruction plate and an iliac bone graft fails in most cases. We report a case of pycnodysostosis with osteomyelitis and fracture of the mandible that was successfully treated with vascularised iliac bone graft. We believe that this procedure is the best method for the treatment of this condition.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 278.90114283339keywords = mandible, jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/31. osteomyelitis and pathological mandibular fracture related to a late implant failure: a clinical report.This clinical report describes an unusual consequence of peri-implantitis and subsequent implant failure in a 72-year-old man. Following uneventful implant removal, osteomyelitis developed at the implant site, which subsequently weakened the mandible sufficiently for a pathological fracture to occur. The patient was treated successfully by use of an intensive oral hygiene regime, antibiotics, and conservative management. The consequences and management of implant failure are discussed, as well as issues relating to the management of osteomyelitis and pathological bone fracture.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 277.90114283339keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/31. Spontaneous fracture of genial tubercles: case report.A case is presented of fractured genial tubercles, revealed by occlusal radiography, in a 63-year-old edentulous woman. Isolated fractures are a rare event that may present with pain and edema in the floor of the mouth. It occurs mainly in patients wearing a complete denture when the mandible is atrophied and the genial tubercles are hypertrophied. Only 11 case reports have been found in the English literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 277.90114283339keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/31. Langerhans cell disease associated with pathological fracture of the mandible.A 27-year-old male suffered a fractured mandible following extraction of a tooth. It was subsequently found that the fracture occurred in an area pathologically weakened by a localized lesion of Langerhans cell disease. Since lesions of the jaws may be seen either as the first manifestation or as a complication of widespread Langerhans cell disease, the dentist has a major role in the diagnosis and management of such cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1390.5057141669keywords = mandible, jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
