An adenomatoid tumour was found in the anterior maxillary region of a 15 year old female patient. Two impacted teeth were found in the tumour. The lateral incisor found in the tumour was dilacerated, and the roots of the first premolar were resorbed. A review of the English literature indicated that 294 similar cases have been reported.
An unusual case of ectodermal dysplasia is presented. Besides the main symptoms of ectodermal dysplasia, congenitally missing teeth and the impaction of all the other existing permanent teeth make this case interesting.
A CMEC which occurred within the right maxillary canine-third molar region of a 34-year-old male was presented. The clinical symptoms were swelling and pain. Radiologically the lesion looked like an ameloblastoma or residual cyst. Hemimaxillectomy was the treatment. No evidence of recurrence has been observed for ten months after the operation.
The effect of bone chips dehydrated with solvent on the healing of bone defects was evaluated. Solvent-dehydrated spongiose bone chips were placed in experimentally formed cavities in the right back tibia of rabbits. After 10, 20 and 30 days, histopathological cross-sections from the bone grafts were examined microscopically for bone healing and formation of spongiose bone, cortex and bone marrow. Spongiose bone chips had a positive and accelerating influence on the healing of bone defects in the 10-day period after transplantation, but no significant differences were observed between the treated and control groups 20 and 30 days after transplantation.
