Enigmatic Cervicofacial Actinomycosis Post Radiotherapy - A Case Report, Amanda Phoon Nguyen

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Although thought to be uncommon, it is believed that cervicofacial actinomycosis is underreported due to frequent misdiagnosis. It has been called the “most misdiagnosed disease by experienced clinicians”. A wide range of dental procedures or trauma, including tooth eruption, may precipitate actinomycosis by enabling microorganisms to penetrate the deeper tissue layers via an entry point. This infective disease is significant due to its potentially aggressive and locally destructive nature. This case describes a patient diagnosed with cervicofacial actinomycosis. Her history prior to this was significant for proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, and T4aN0M0 (AJCC 7th Edition) squamous cell carcinoma of the right …

A 22-year-old female patient was referred by conservative dentistry with …

Three-Dimensional Analysis Of Condylar Displacement After Orthognathic Surgery In Patients With Facial Asymmetry, Teresa Bae

Theses & Dissertations

Facial asymmetry is apparent when there is a clinically significant variation between the two halves of the face. There can be varying degrees of facial asymmetry and mild asymmetry can be treated by orthodontics alone. For severe facial asymmetry a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery may be necessary. The condyle must be in a stable position following surgery to have functional and structural stability and prevent relapse. This research proposal is to perform a retrospective CBCT study on the displacement of the condyle following orthognathic surgery in patients with facial asymmetry. The CBCTs were obtained from Taipei Veterans General …

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy For Complex Oral Wounds, Mykaihla Sternick, James Gates, Allen Champion, Andrew Yampolsky

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Faculty Papers

Negative pressure wound therapy provides a nonsurgical treatment option for many types of complex wounds. This therapy utilizes the vacuum-assisted closure device, which decreases air pressure, removes fluid that accumulates within the wound, and aids to facilitate changes that promote healing. Despite the increased use of negative pressure wound therapy in the head and neck region, there is substantially less data available on the management of transoral vacuum-assisted wound closure. Herein, we present a case of a novel approach for the creation and use of a transoral wound vac for a patient with a refractory orocutaneous wound in the setting …

Endodontic Therapy, Crown Amputation, And Soft Tissue Advancement To Treat A Hopeless Tooth, Timothy Daws Dds, Thomas Bolten Dds, Md

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

Managing patients with a history of intravenous bisphosphonates and antiresorptive medications poses challenges in clinical decision-making. Extractions are generally discouraged in these patients due to the risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). This case study presents an 89-year-old female with metastatic breast cancer on Xgeva, facing a non-restorable tooth (#30). A collaborative approach involving the general dentist, endodontist, and oral surgeon employed endodontic therapy, crown amputation, and soft tissue advancement, avoiding extraction. The technique, akin to coronectomy, mitigates MRONJ risk by preserving bone integrity. Follow-up assessments indicate successful treatment without complications, highlighting the efficacy of this approach in …
