Anterolateral alveolar osteotomy was performed in a patient who experienced facial trauma in a traffic accident. Bony sequela had remained in the maxilla after the emergency surgery, affecting the facial appearance. A different technique of osteotomy for this unusual type of deformity is presented.

Peripheral ameloblastomas are rare odontogenic tumors presenting as tumoral masses, erythematous plaques, or papillary lesions on the attached gingiva. This study reviews the demographic, clinical, and microscopic features of 8 previously unreported cases. One patient had two separate peripheral ameloblastomas, one 7 years after the first in the opposite side and arch. The cases match those described previously with respect to age, gender, location, and radiographic and microscopic features. Because recurrence has been reported and second primary sites may be found, periodic follow-up is recommended after conservative surgical removal.
The botryoid odontogenic cyst is considered to be a multiloculated variant of the lateral periodontal cyst. Fewer than 40 of these lesions have been described, many of which have recurred. This paper describes the demographic, clinical, microscopic, and radiographic features of 33 unreported cases from the files of the Oral Pathology Biopsy Service at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry. Our findings are in agreement with previously published cases for an average age of 57 years and the most common site for occurrence in the lower premolar area. Follow-up information on 12 patients determined that 2 had recurrences.
