A retroauricular flap to reconstruct scaphoid fossa defects is presented. It is an easy, quick and aesthetic flap for this purpose.
Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia (IVPEH) is a benign process, even uncommon. It was first described by Masson in 1923 under the name "Hemangioendotheliom vegetant intravascular". We present a case of IVPEH located in the masseter muscle. The treatment for this lesion was surgical excision. The histological examination is very important in order to separate this lesion from angiosarcoma.
Dens invaginatus is an abnormal enamel growth first described by Salter in 1855. It has an incidence between 0.4 - 10%, and the tooth most frequently affected is the lateral upper incisor. Its etiology is not explained. There are many asymtomatic cases and others with symptoms derived from periapical lesions. Treatment must be as conservative as possible. A bibliographic review has been made and we demonstrate a radiologic sequence of the many cases observed in our Service in the last two years.
In this article a review is done about the diagnostic and therapeutical process that must be followed in case of an accidental ingestion or aspiration of a foreign body in the odontostomatologic practice.
