TL;DR: Pre-therapy dental care reduces this incidence, and non-surgical dental procedures can prevent new cases, and effective control to a pain free state without resolution of the exposed bone is 90.1% effective using a regimen of antibiotics along with 0.12% chlorohexidine antiseptic mouth.

TL;DR: State-of-the-art software and hardware requirements for the manufacture of high quality medical models manufactured using medical rapid prototyping and a range of unwanted artefacts that create distortions on medical models have been identified.

TL;DR: This first randomized controlled trial demonstrating de novo organ tissue growth in humans from a recombinant human protein safely induced adequate bone for the placement and functional loading of endosseous dental implants in patients requiring staged maxillary sinus floor augmentation.

TL;DR: Bis-phossy jaw may have more of a bacterial cofactor risk than osteoradionecrosis, and though altered angiogenesis may yet prove to be a factor, avascularity does not appear to beA major cofactor.

TL;DR: This study highlights the importance of grade and stage as independent factors in predicting survival in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma.

TL;DR: Treatment of an odontogenic keratocyst with peripheral ostectomy, with or without the use of Carnoy's solution, had a significantly lower rate of recurrence and treatment with enucleation was associated with a significantly higher recurrence rate.

TL;DR: The treatment of salivary gland malignancies remains primarily surgical, although adjunctive radiotherapy may play an important role in those patients with advanced-stage disease and this study confirms the contributions of stage, grade, age, and cervical metastasis for describing survival.

TL;DR: This discussion presents the current understanding of the adaptations that must occur to provide the patient with a satisfactory outcome and the adaptations for patients treated open are different than for those treated closed.

TL;DR: Differences in several measurements suggest that gender and side should be considered when applying the anatomical variation data to an individual subject.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors retrospectively evaluated implant survival of 631 osseointegrated implants installed in irradiated cancer patients over a 25-year period, and found that implant failures were higher after previous radiotherapy.

TL;DR: Resorbable polylactic and polyglycolic acid plates and screws can be an effective fixation method for facial fractures in children in the primary and secondary dentition periods.

TL;DR: A large series of benign and malignant salivary gland tumors of the oral region is reviewed and the incidence and the correlation of the histopathologic features with the clinical characteristics are determined.

TL;DR: Four radiographic findings (darkening of the tooth root, narrowing of the Tooth root, interruption of the white lines, and diversion of the canal) were statistically associated with IAN exposure following M3 extraction.

TL;DR: The findings of this study indicate that third molar surgery in patients 25 years of age or older is associated with minimal morbidity, a low incidence of postoperative complications, and minimal impact on the patients quality of life.

TL;DR: It is suggested that PRP has a favorable effect on human osteoblast-like cells, and acts both to enhance bone regeneration and as an activator in wound healing.

TL;DR: The piezosurgery instrument, developed in 1988, uses a modulated ultrasonic frequency that permits highly precise and safe cutting of hard tissue, and may be extended to more complex oral surgery cases, as well as to other interdisciplinary problems.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that the evaluated nanoparticular hydroxyapatite met the clinical requirements for a bone substitute material within the limits of this experimental setting.

TL;DR: It is shown that PRP is effective in inducing and accelerating bone regeneration for the treatment of periodontal defects at the distal root of the mandibular second molar after surgical extraction of a mesioangular, deeply impacted Mandibular third molar.

TL;DR: A single miniplate plate on the superior border of the mandible has become the preferred method of treatment among AO faculty, and when using large, inferiorly based plates more surgeons are now favoring neutral rather than eccentric screw placement.

TL;DR: Ameloblastoma is a fairly common tumor of Nigerian Africans accounting for 73% of odontogenic tumors and 24% of all tumors and tumor-like lesions of the oral and perioral structures.

TL;DR: A rational treatment rotocol based on clinical and histologic studies is presented to present a rational treatment strategy for OKCs based on less than optimal information.

TL;DR: Decompression and marsupialization of cysts is robably the earliest advocated treatment and was suggested by Partsch in the German literature n the late 19th century.

TL;DR: Blood vessels are an important component of bone formation and maintenance and the bone tissue differentiation is related to the local presence of blood vessels, which leads to more intensive angiogenesis and bone regeneration.

TL;DR: Complications associated with ranula surgery are minor and self-limiting, and transoral excision of the sublingual gland has the least possibility of ranula recurrence.

TL;DR: Fibula free vascularized flap is a safe and reliable method for comprehensive functional and esthetic mandibular defect reconstruction and has a significant impact on preserving the patients quality of life.

TL;DR: This article illustrates the advantages of using CT scan-based templates through various clinical presentations, and illustrated for single and multiple tooth applications in both mandibular and maxillary arches.

TL;DR: Cutting edge technology of computer-assisted implant impressions and computer-generated abutments will likely replace traditional implant restorative protocols and become the standard for implant dentistry in the foreseeable future.

TL;DR: The present study showed that at the baseline (mean age, 19.3 years), 24% of third molars were erupted, 76% were in various stages of eruption, and 11.5% were congenitally missing in the Asian-Indian student population.

TL;DR: This study fails to find a direct stimulatory effect of PRP on healing of autogenous bone grafts using pQ-CT, static, and dynamic histomorphometric analyses.

TL;DR: Fixation of noncomminuted mandibular angle fractures with a 2.0-mm curved angle strut plate was predictable and this plate is low in profile, strong yet malleable, facilitating reduction and stabilization at both the superior and inferior borders.
