11/26. Delayed eruption of a mandibular primary cuspid associated with compound odontoma.Although odontomas are considered to be a common type of odontogenic tumor, they rarely occur solely in the primary dentition. This case report presents an eight and a half-year-old-child with a compound odontoma located in the mandible, which caused the impaction of both primary and permanent canines.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
12/26. Transmigration of permanent mandibular canines. Case report.Transmigration is the migration of a tooth across the midline of the jaw. This phenomenon is found only in relation to the permanent mandibular canines. Two cases are reported. In both, the cause of this deviation was an odontome found in the site normally occupied by the mandibular canine. The literature on transmigration is reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.09925251055711keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |

14/26. Surgical excision of a large complex composite odontome of the mandible.Sagittal splitting of the mandible has been recommended as a means of gaining access for removal of pathological lesions within the body and ramus. However, there are potential problems associated with the technique, and an alternative procedure is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
15/26. The gardner syndrome.The gardner syndrome is characterized by polyposis coli and multiple hard and soft tissue tumors. A case of a 17-year-old male is presented who complained of painless and hard swellings on the angle of the mandible bilateraly. The patient presented the original triad of lesions of the gardner syndrome. On the panoramic X-ray, characteristic radio-opaque lesions (exostoses and enostoses) on the jaws were shown and a compound odontoma was detected in the left side of the mandible.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.0992525105571keywords = mandible, jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
16/26. Odontomas. A review, case presentation and periodontal considerations in treatment.odontogenic tumors normally occur within the tooth-bearing areas of the jaws. When they involve the dentogingival complex of adjacent teeth, their removal may become the responsibility of the periodontist. The odontomas are the most common of the odontogenic solid tumors and will be encountered most often by the periodontist. A review of the odontomas is presented followed by a case report and a discussion of the periodontal considerations in their removal. Emphasis is placed on following standard hygiene procedures before and after any periodontal surgery along with conservative removal of the lesion to preserve the periodontal attachment around the adjacent teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.09925251055711keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
17/26. Correlated microradiography, X-ray microbeam diffraction and electron probe microanalysis of calcifications in an odontoma.Using microradiography, X-ray microbeam diffraction and electron probe microanalysis, a correlated morphologic crystallographic study was performed on dysplastic enamel in a compound odontoma. The tumor was found in the lateral incisor-canine region of the left mandible of a 36-year-old woman. A conspicuous feature was the presence of hypomineralized areas, which were situated in the proximity of enamel surface and distinctly demarcated from the adjacent enamel. X-ray microbeam diffraction and electron probe microanalysis showed that these lesions have a lower crystallinity and a higher concentration of magnesium as compared with the adjacent enamel. In addition, the present study revealed the presence of two other types of calcifications: (1) calcified structures within the fissure or on the enamel surface, which include lacunae of varying size and which resemble a form of coronal cementum, and (2) spherical calcifications which may be an epithelial product.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
18/26. Compound odontoma with displaced toothbuds: report of case with four-year follow-up.A case of a compound odontoma of the right body of the mandible, in which the toothbuds were displaced, is described. The toothbuds are usually removed with the tumor, but in the present case they were preserved during surgical treatment. The formation and eruption of these buds were followed by serial radiographs over a period of four years.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
19/26. Compound composite odontoma associated with an impacted cuspid.This case report involved the removal of a compound composite odontoma from a fourteen year-old male patient at an urban dental school. The pathology report did indeed reveal the tissue mass was that of a compound composite odontoma. These lesions usually occur in the second decade of life, in the anterior maxilla or mandible, with no gender or race predilection. Three types of odontomas are identified, including are: compound composite odontoma, complex composite odontoma, and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. The etiology of these lesions is unknown, although environmental (trauma, infection) and hereditary influences play a role. Treatment consists of complete enucleation and curettage followed by histological verification by an oral pathologist.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
20/26. Pigmented ameloblastic fibro-odontoma with melanophages.A case of pigmented ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the mandible of a 9-year-old Japanese girl is reported. In this tumor, melanin was widely distributed in the nests of the odontogenic epithelial component, and an aggregation of large round melanophages with a large amount of melanin similar to nevus cells was observed in the areas of the connective tissue component. A considerable number of dendritic cells that were considered to be melanocytes were scattered in the epithelial nests. This is the first case of pigmented odontogenic tumor that showed such extensive pigmentation with an aggregation of melanophages.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
