Imaging Science in Dentistry 2016;46(3):147-157
This review article aimed to introduce a category of jaw lesions associated with impacted tooth. General search engines and specialized databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, MedLine Plus, Science Direct, Scopus, and well-recognized textbooks were used to find relevant studies using keywords such as "jaw lesion", "jaw disease", "impacted tooth", and "unerupted tooth". More than 250 articles were found, of which approximately 80 were broadly relevant to the topic. We ultimately included 47 articles that were closely related to the topic of interest. When the relevant data were compiled, the following 10 lesions were identified as having a relationship with impacted tooth: dentigerous cysts, calcifying odontogenic cysts, unicystic (mural) ameloblastomas, ameloblastomas, ameloblastic fibromas, adenomatoid odontogenic tumors, keratocystic odontogenic tumors, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors, ameloblastic fibro-odontomas, and odontomas. When clinicians encounter a lesion associated with an impacted tooth, they should first consider these entities in the differential diagnosis. This will help dental practitioners make more accurate diagnoses and develop better treatment plans based on patients' radiographs.

basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable conditions, including multiple basal cell carcinoma, numerous keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KOTs) in the jaws, ectopic calcification of the falx cerebri, bifid ribs, macrocephaly, kyphoscoliosis, cleft palate, frontal and temporal bossing, mild ocular hypertelorism, mild mandibular prognathism, vertebral fusion, and so on. A 16-year-old boy visited the Dong-A University Medical Center, requiring diagnosis and treatment of multiple cystic lesions. He presented with many conditions related to NBCCS, including multiple KOTs, bifid rib, cleft lip, frontal bossing, mild ocular hypertelorism, and mild mandibular prognathism. No characteristic cutaneous manifestations (nevoid basal cell carcinoma) were observed in this patient. We report on a case of multiple KOTs associated with NBCCS with a review of the literature.]]>

3.Pre-surgical infant orthopedics with the naso alveolar molding (NAM) device for unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate: Case series
Laureta Cristina M ; Macapagal Tanya P
Acta Medica Philippina 2012;46(1):64-72
Management of infants born with cleft lip and palate entails an interdisciplinary team effort that begins from infancy to adulthood. The goal of pre-surgical infant orthopedics is to reduce the severity of the cleft deformity before surgery. However, traditional methods do not address the deformity of the nasal cartilages and alveolar ridges simultaneously.
The Nasoalveolar Molding (NAM) technique takes advantage of the malleability of immature nasal cartilage and its ability to maintain a permanent correction of its form. The NAM device is used to actively mold the alar dome, nasal cartilages, premaxilla, and alveolar ridges into a more normal anatomic form and position. It permits non-surgical elongation of the columella through application of tissue expansion principles. This results in better facial aesthetics and may help reduce the extent, number and cost of surgeries.
The three cases presented illustrate the application of the NAM device for the pre-surgical infant orthopedics in unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate patients treated at the Philippine Children's Medical Center-Pediatric Dentistry Division (PCMC-PDD).

The basal cell nevus syndrome is a well recognized entity, the major symptoms of which are basal cell nevi, multiple jaw cysts, skeletal anomalies, and ectopic calcification. The syndrome follows a hereditary pattern, which is characterized by a highly penetrant, autosomal dominant gene with multiple and variable effects. The patient often has a characteristic face, with frontal and temporoparietal bossing, which results in an increased cranial circumference. The eyes may appear widely separated, and 40 percent of patients have true ocular hypertelorism. Jaw cysts are one of the most constant features of the syndrome and are present in at least 75 percent of the patients. The cysts are odontogenic keratocysts and frequently multiple. Radiographically, the cysts in patients with basal cell nevus syndrome do not differ significantly from isolated keratocysts. The cysts in patients with this syndrome are often associated with the crowns of unerupted teeth; on radiographs they may mimic dentigerous cysts. We report a case of multiple odontogenic keratocysts associated with basal cell nevus syndrome with the literature of review.

A squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) is rare disease and it is believed to originate from epithelial rests of Malassez of the periodontal membrane. Neither sex nor site predilection in either jaw has been established. Some lesion can be shown in juxtaposition in tooth roots. Although most lesions remain smaller than 2 cm, our cases involved a half of left mandibular ramus. The exact pathogenesis is still unknown. We report a case of SOT including the results of immunohistochemical study of pancytokeratin and p53.

We present two cases of multiple jaw cysts not associated with basal cell nevus syndrome. Case 1: a nine year-old boy visited CNU Hospital for orthodontic treatment and his radiographs showed cystic lesions surrounding the crowns of teeth #13 and #17 respectively, which were diagnosed as dentigerous cysts. Subsequently, two more cysts were found on his follow-up radiographs in 12 and 15 months. The two cysts were determined to be odontogenic keratocysts. The boy had no skeletal abnormalities and no skin lesions associated with basal cell nevus syndrome. Case 2: a fifty-eight year old man had three impacted third molars with pericoronal radiolucencies, which were diagnosed as dentigerous cysts. He had no additional abnormalities associated with basal cell nevus syndrome. Multiple jaw cysts can occur at any age, and periodic radiographic surveillance may be needed for any cases of impacted tooth.

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is characterized by various embryological deformities and carcinoma formation. It is caused by PTCHI gene mutations and is autosomal dominantly inherited. Some of the main symptoms of NBCCS are multiple basal cell carcinomas, multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs) of the mandible, hyperkeratosis of the palmar and plantar, skeletal deformity, calcification of the falx cerebri, and facial defomity. Recurrent KCOT is the main symptom of NBCCS and is present in approximately 90% of patients. In NBCCS, KCOTs typically occur in multiples. KCOTs can be detected in patients under the age of 10, and new and recurring cysts develop until approximately the age of 30. The postoperation recurrence rate is approximately 60%. This case report presents a 14-year-old female patient with a chief complaint of a cyst found in the maxilla and mandible. The patient was diagnosed with NBCCS, and following treatment of marsupialization and enucleation, the clinical results were satisfactory.

Decompression is considered an effective treatment for odontogenic cystic lesions in the jaw. A variety of decompression devices are successfully used for the treatment of keratocystic odontogenic tumors, radicular cysts, dentigerous cysts, and ameloblastoma. The purpose of these devices is to keep an opening between the cystic lesion and the oral environment during treatment. The aim of this report is to describe an effective decompression tube using a stainless steel tube and wire for treatment of jaw cystic lesions.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of odontogenic cysts, tumors, and other lesions among reports in the archives of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Faculty of Dentistry affiliated with Kocaeli University collected over a four-year period.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, patient records from the archive of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from 2014 to 2018 were reviewed. Patient demographic information (age and sex) and lesion location were recorded and analyzed.RESULTS: From a total of 475 files reviewed, odontogenic cyst was confirmed in 340 cases (71.6%), and odontogenic tumor was confirmed in 52 cases (10.9%). Regarding odontogenic cyst type, the most common was radicular cyst (216 cases), followed by dentigerous cyst (77 cases) and odontogenic keratocyst (23 cases). Among odontogenic tumors, the most frequent was odontoma (19 cases), followed by ossifying fibroma (18 cases) and ameloblastoma (9 cases). Giant cell granuloma was also reported in 35 cases.CONCLUSION: The distribution pattern of odontogenic cysts and tumors in our retrospective study is relatively similar to that reported in the literature. Complete clinical reports for final diagnosis of these lesions and routine follow-up examinations are very important for treatment.
