Radiographic changes associated with giant cell hyaline angiopathy.

A case report of a rare oral lesion termed giant cell hyaline angiopathy is presented. The clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic appearances are discussed, together with a successful mode of antibiotic treatment. The absence of vasculitis and foreign bodies and the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics suggest that angiopathy may not be the appropriate term.

Penicillin-resistant bacteroides melaninogenicus infection of the mandible.

Oral infections caused by gram-negative anaerobes are now recognized more frequently than in the past because of improved culturing techniques. A case of B melaninogenicus infection secondary to a fractured mandible, in which the organisms were both clinically resistant and insensitive on culture to penicillin, is presented. The organism was also shown to produce beta-lactamase. Clindamycin is appropriate dosage resulted in diarrhea, which precluded its continuation. Erythromycin therapy was curative in this case. In all cases in which the clinical course does not reflect the expected reasonable response to the appropriate antibiotic therapy, bacterial resistance to a drug should be considered, and laboratory testing for resistance and sensitivities should be performed.

Verrucous carcinoma arising in an odontogenic cyst. Report of a case.

A verrucous carcinoma arising in an odontogenic cyst is described for the first time. The clinical, radiographic, and microscopic features of this tumor are presented. It is mandatory to correlate the clinical and histopathologic findings to establish a diagnosis.

Radiographic manifestations of an unusual combination Types I and Type II dentin dysplasia.

Dentin dyslasia is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary variant of dentinogenesis imperfecta. The primary defect is mesodermal and involves the dentin. Two types (Type I and Type II) of dentin dysplasia have been described previously. The current case presents radiographic findings which include characteristics common to both types. It is proposed that either a third type (Type III) be recognized or the variability of the developmental defect precludes definitive subclassification.

Pathologic fractures of the mandible following invasive oral carcinomas.

Invasive and metastatic oral carcinomas can and often do result in pathologic fractures of the facial bones. Three cases of invasive oral carcinomas resulting in fractures of the mandible have been reported. It was only after multiple-view radiographs that pathologic fractures could be identified. It is mandatory that dental practitioners avail themselves of the radiographic views which assist in establishing a diagnosis. In addition, the role of the dental profession in diagnosing primary and secondary oral carcinomas cannot be overemphasized.

Evaluation of dental radiology students in Canadian dental schools.

Evaluation involves the worth of an experience, idea, or process and is an integral part of dental education. The current article discusses a survey of dental radiology evaluation in Canadian dental schools. It appears that in Canada students are evaluated formally in didactic aspects of radiology, interpretation of radiographs, and clinical aspects of dental radiology.

Radiographic manifestations of a lung carcinoma with metastases to the anterior maxilla.

Radiographic examination of the facial bones frequently reveals osteolytic and osteoblastic changes. A case of undifferentiated large-cell carcinoma of the lung with metastasis to the anterior maxilla is reported. Intraoral dental radiographs revealed an ill-defined lytic area in the left anterior maxilla. The periphery of the lesion revealed saberlike extensions of bone extending into the lytic defect. Cytologic and biopsy studies of the oral mucosa led to identification of the tumor as an undifferentiated large-cell carcinoma of the lung.

A survey of dental radiology evaluation in American dental schools.

The variety of evaluation methods used in American dental schools illustrates that little uniformity exists. Only through a continuing program of evaluation can the strengths and weaknesses of any course be identified. Few generalizations can be made that are valid for all dental schools; this suggests that each school and its faculty members utilize methods of evaluation that are developed on a local level. The lack of uniformity in the evaluation process of the schools surveyed may also serve as an indicator for the lack of uniformaty of cirriculum. Development of clearly defined objectives would be beneficial in establishing reliable methods of evaluation. When such evaluations are analyzed, the need for changes in the curriculum becomes apparent. It should be noted that with every change, whether it be in the students, the faculty, or the cirriculum, a new evaluation becomes necessary.
