Intraoperative imaging is increasingly used by surgeons and has become an integral part of many surgical procedures. Ectopically impacted third molars in the upper jaw, become a common developmental abnormality.Surgical planning of a case with bilaterally impacted maxillary teeth by using cone beam computed tomography is presented. The 3D model provide valuable information for improved diagnosis and treatment plan and ultimately results in more successful treatment, as in the present case.The surgeon, knowing the precise location of the tooth and shape of roots in all projections would reduce the invasiveness of surgery. This report describes a case of impacted upper wisdom teeth without any associated pathologic condition.
Significant vital functions take place in the oral cavity and oropharynx, primarily mastication, as the initial function of the gastrointestinal system, swallowing, respiration and speech.All these vital biological functions can be endangered, ie aggravated, and even disabled by the appearance of neoplasms in that anatomical space. In the maxillofacial region, neoplasms can originate from a variety of tissues, from the mucous membranes of the oral cavity to the jaws, salivary glands, and even tumors of odontogenic origin.However, the most common tumor in the oral cavity is squamous cell carcinoma (OSSC), which originates from the oral mucosa.To determine the accuracy, sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of the Velscope screening method in the detection of premalignant and initial malignant lesions compared to the gold standard surgical biopsy.The study group consisted of 60 patients divided into two groups. The first group was formed by 30 patients with potentially malignant oral lesions (PML). Another 30 patients with preliminary diagnosis -oral cancer (OC) were included in the second group of examinees.The high sensitivity value of 92.86% and the accuracy of the method of 86.67% largely confirm the reliability and efficacy of the Velscope method in patients with highly suspected oral cancer lesions (OC), significantly more, comparing to the group of premalignant lesions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
