The oral mucosa is commonly involved in immune-mediated lesions, of which the most common are recurrent aphthous stomatitis, oral lichen planus, and oral submucous fibrosis. The present study aimed to evaluate anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms, and social dysfunction using the General Health Questionnaire-28 in patients with these mucosal lesions. The association between psychiatric morbidity and chronic oral mucosal diseases has been sparsely studied, and this study aims to address this gap.
Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumors (KOTs), otherwise known as odontogenic keratocysts, are benign cysts of odontogenic origin with a destructive clinical behavior, including a high recurrence rate. Multiple KOTs in the maxillofacial region are commonly associated with syndromes. The reported occurrence of non-syndromic multiple KOTs are very rare. This case report presents a patient with multiple cystic lesions in both the maxilla and mandible, histologically proven to be KOTs, without any systemic manifestations.
Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, also known as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS), was first described by Gorlin and Goltz in 1960. It is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by several major manifestations and less common minor manifestations. One of the infrequent findings of this syndrome is orofacial clefts. Diagnosis of this syndrome is made based on clinical and radiological criteria. In this article, we present the case of a 19-year-old girl who underwent surgery for complete unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate (CLP) and later developed a cleft alveolus. Radiological examination revealed the presence of multiple Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumors (KCOT). Following the criteria given by Kimonis et al., the patient was diagnosed with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome. A combination of enucleation and Pogrel's technique was used to treat the cysts.
Genetics is derived from the Greek word 'gene' which means 'to become'. Malocclusions seem to be highly inheritable, which has been proved by twin and triplet studies. Recent advances in Genetics, like the Human Genome Project and Personalized Orthodontics, help the orthodontist to shift the emphasis in diagnosis and treatment planning from a wholly phenotypic or clinical perspective to greater consideration of a patient's genotype.
Osseointegration is an important factor that contributes to the long-term success of dental implants. Many factors contribute to achieving primary stability, and this primary stability is considered a prerequisite for establishing good osseointegration. Osseodensification (OD), a recently developed technique, enhances the bone density around dental implants and increases primary stability. Many studies have been carried out on the efficacy of this new surgical technique. The purpose of this review article is to discuss in detail the Osseodensification procedure.
