Growth analysis of a patient with ectodermal dysplasia treated with endosseous implants: 6-year follow-up.

The purpose of this article is to report the clinical course and 6-year follow-up of a child with ectodermal dysplasia who was treated with implants surgery very early. This article reports placement of mandibular endosseous implants in a 4-year-old patient with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and oligodontia. This congenital anomaly does not appear to retard healing and the osseointegration remains after 6 years and 3 months of loading. Mandibular and maxillary skeletal growth and development was normal. However, because of lack of alveolar growth, in time, patient's vertical growth pattern changed to low angle. This could be corrected by changing the vertical heights of the abutment and prosthesis. As a result, in ectodermal dysplasias cases with anadontia, early implant placement and fixed prosthesis could be a good multidisciplinary treatment option for poor cooperative child.

Mediastinitis caused by an infected mandibular cyst.

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis is a potentially fatal condition which may occur seldom as a consequence of oral infections. This report describes the management of a patient with mediastinitis due to an infected dentigerous cyst.

Clinical and radiological evaluation of cherubism: a sporadic case report and review of the literature.

Many cases have been published on cherubism since Jones described it first time in three children of the same family [Am. J. Cancer 17 (1933) 946]. Cherubism is an autosomal-dominant disorder in which the normal bone is replaced by cellular fibrous tissue and immature bone. Extracranial skeletal involvement is rarely seen in hereditary and non-hereditary forms of the disorder. The mandible is the most severely affected craniofacial component, in which uncontrolled growth of the malady deteriorates the aesthetic balance of the face. Bilateral swelling of the cheeks, mandibular enlargement and maxillary spongious hypertrophy cause orbital manifestations and tendency of eyes looking up to the sky. Thus, the pathognomic clinical feature resembles the appearance of "raised to heaven" Renaissance cherubs. The sporadic case concerns a child affected by cherubism. Radiographic and clinical data of the patient are presented and brief review of the literature is included.

Titanium mesh and autogenous iliac bone graft: treatment of a mandibular fracture delayed for one year.

In treatment of bone defects, transplantation of autogenous iliac bone and marrow give satisfactory results. Titanium mesh implants have also been used reconstruction of maxillofacial defects for years. Specifically, this technique of provides stabilization in ununited fractures of edentulous and atrophic mandibles, and facilitate bone grafting. This paper report the use of titanium mesh and autogenous iliac bone grafting in an ununited mandibular fracture one year after injury.

Posterior maxillary ostectomy for mandibular implant insertion.

Posterior maxillary ostectomy was performed for a patient who had extruded left maxillary molars into the edentulous mandibular region. With this procedure, enough interarch space was obtained, and one screw implant was simultaneously inserted in the edentulous mandibular posterior ridge.

Blood flow to palatal mucosal grafts in mandibular labial vestibuloplasty measured by 133Xe clearance technique.

In 11 subjects, the blood flow to alveolar and palatal mucosa was measured by intra-mucosal injection of 133Xe. Later, mandibular labial vestibuloplasty was performed with mucosal grafts in all of them. The use of a stent was omitted. The subjects were followed by clinical observation and by blood flow measurements up to 6 weeks postoperatively. At certain intervals (3 and 10 days, 4 and 6 weeks), 133Xe clearance in the graft was determined. Under normal conditions, the mean blood flows to the alveolar and to palatal mucosa were 53.2 +/- 12.9 and 58.3 +/- 3.5 ml/100 g/min, respectively. The difference between them was statistically insignificant (P greater than 0.05). The graft blood flow was 13.4 +/- 3.2 and 21.7 +/- 15.0 ml/100 g/min on the 3rd and 10th days after operation. The decrease in both compared to normal values was statistically significant (P less than 0.001). The blood flow reached almost normal levels (46.2 +/- 16.9 ml/100 g/min) and above (63.9 +/- 9.7 ml/100 g/min; P less than 0.05) at 4 and 6 weeks after operation, respectively. These results were in agreement with the clinical observations. The palatal donor area healed in 3-5 weeks. The graft showed complete adaptation with the surrounding tissue and healing in 4-6 weeks. Our results also indicated that injections in the graft do not retard graft healing.
