Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Two thousand four hundred human permanent teeth were decalcified, injected with dye, and cleared in order to determine the number ofRoot canals and their different types, the ramifications of the main root canals, the location of apical foramina and transverse anastomoses, and the frequency ofApical deltas.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is advocated that the term malignant ameloblastoma be reserved for those lesions that, in spite of a seemingly innocuous histology, have given origin to metastatic growths, while the WHO classification should be modified to include ameloblastic carcinoma as a diagnostic term for lesions that combine features of an amelOBlastoma with a less-differentiated histomorphology.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Clinically and histologically, the tissue resembled that seen in hyperplasia induced by phenytoin (Dilantin) and this is believed to be the first reported case of gingival hyperplasticasia associated with nifedipine.

199 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In 127 temporomandibular joint autopsy specimens the position (superior 44%, partially anterior 22%, completely anterior 34%) and configuration of the disk (biconcave 56%, biconvex 10%, others 34%) were related to osteoarthrosis.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The prevalence of oral and radiographic findings in this sample was 72%, which is much higher than previously reported and the five most common findings are oral neurofibromas, enlarged fungiform papillae, intrabony lesions, wide inferior alveolar canals, and enlarged mandibular foramina.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that lesion size may have a significant influence in all those areas where periapical cysts and granulomas are concerned and alternatives to various commonly held assumptions and potential solutions to a number of controversial issues are suggested.

112 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Differences in TMJ function and morphology in Class I persons and those with skeletal Class II open-bite and Class II deep-bite dentofacial morphologies are explained on the basis of accepted principles of biomechanics and its influences on cartilaginous growth and bone modeling.

105 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Signs that this tissue is undergoing adaptive changes include the presence of thickened arterial walls suggesting a decreased blood flow and the tendency for decreased amounts of elastin to be associated with denser-appearing collagen.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The literature is reviewed with respect to the prevalence of maxillofacial manifestations of multiple myeloma and the presence of such manifestations as the first sign and/or symptom of disease.

102 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is the intent of this article to help the orthognathic surgeon reduce the potential for avascular complications when performing the various maxillary osteotomies and ostectomies via a better appreciation for the important subtleties of surgical technique.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It was found that the statistics relating to survival of patients with jawbone lymphoma correspond closely to the findings reported for skeletal lymphomas and diffuse subtypes clearly predominated, with 13 out of 14 cases demonstrating this pattern.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The long-term follow-up of a patient with unilateral mandibular condylar dysplasia and facial asymmetry, treated with a costochondral graft, is presented.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It was concluded that toluidine blue staining is a useful adjunct to careful examination, clinical judgment, and biopsy.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The dome-shaped radiopaque shadows frequently seen on the floor of the maxillary sinus appear to represent focal accumulation of inflammatory exudate that lifts the epithelial lining of the sinus and the periosteum away from the underlying bone to form the characteristically shaped structures.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Radiographic patterns encountered in mandibular cystogenic ameloblastoma, a variant encountered among teen-agers and young adults, are described and correlated with age and recurrence after surgery.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The diagnostic usefulness of common endodontic tests was evaluated through the retrospective analysis of studies in which histologic examinations were performed and it was suggested that practitioners continue to use all available evidence in making a diagnosis of irreversible pulpal disease.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Computer simulation methods for determining patient dose from dental radiography have demonstrated that patient risk from a two-film interproximal examination ranges from 1.1 X 10(-8) to 3.4 X 10 (-7) using 90-kVp beams, depending on film speed, projection technique, and age and sex of the patient.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The dentitions of twenty-eight patients, each of whom had either an autosomal dominant or a sporadic osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) syndrome, were evaluated and the diagnosis of dentinogenesis imperfecto (DI) could be established in all seven patients with dominantly inherited OI in three families.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is concluded that cytotoxic chemotherapy results in a decreased salivary flow, a reduction in Salivary amylase and IgA, and an increase in the oral carriage of opportunistic pathogens.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Electron microscopic examination of glutaraldehyde-fixed fresh tissue and previously formalin-fixed tissue reveals that the characteristic clear cytoplasm of abluminal cells is caused, in part, by glycogen storage granules and the paucity of organelles but largely by an artifact of fixation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article several germane issues regarding vascular considerations in mandibular orthognathic surgery are discussed: what are the shortcomings of published studies addressing the effects of orthognATHic surgery on the vascular supply to the mandible and/or the maxilla?

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The burning mouth complaint of each of fifty-seven patients was thoroughly studied and psychogenesis was found to be the most frequent cause, followed by geographic tongue and moniliasis, and the tongue and palate were the most frequently affected sites.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A 6-month clinical trial with nine scleroderma patients compared two exercise programs for the nonsurgical treatment of the decreased oral opening, finding that some reversal of this condition may be achieved with the aid of this new nonsurgical exercise program.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The findings indicate the need for routine clinical assessment of mandibular function preoperatively and for a systematic regimen of muscular and occlusal rehabilitation postsurgically to normalize muscle function, condylar movement, and range ofMandibular motion.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A tooth with cervical resorption possibly caused by an internal bleaching technique was treated with calcium hydroxide, along with the speculation thatInternal bleaching of tetracycline-discolored teeth may lead to cervical resOrption.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results indicate that immune reactions may be of importance in the pathogenesis of periapical inflammatory lesions and the presence of B lymphocytes or activated T lymphocytes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results of this study clearly indicate the participation of food components in the etiology of some cases of RAU.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The case presented here illustrates the relationship of such a lesion arising from the cyst wall of an apical periodontal cyst.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It appears that average radiographic density differences within radiograph sets, anatomic location of the treated tooth, technical compatibility within radiographs, and by length of time between postoperative and recall radiographs do not affect reliability of success/failure interpretation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This article attempts to clarify the interrelationships of the so-called mixed odontogenic tumors by discussing the desirability of discarding some terms used for histologic variants of ameloblastic fibroma, such as immature dentinoma and amelobastic fibrodentinoma.
