“…In contrast, our findings corroborated a study conducted among Brazilian population on anatomy of mandibular third molars [16]. Findings of that study revealed the most common pattern was two roots (98.3%), Further, the same study reported conical simple type (88.9%), with absence of laceration (89.2%), divergence (84%), and fusion (80%) [16]. However, in our study, occurrence of fusion was only 22.3% and divergence was as low as 4.2%.…”

Background: Mandibular third molar surgeries garnered recognition as one of the common treatment procedures provided by Oral & Maxillofacial practices across the globe. Mandibular third molars are not only impacted, often giving rise to bothering issues to patients ranging from pain to difficulty in opening mouth but create challenges in their surgical removal. Postoperative complications of those surgeries such as pain, swelling, trismus and alveolar osteitis (dry socket) could be prevented and controlled by meticulous preoperative assessment of tooth-related and patient-related factors. Pattern of root morphology could be one important tooth-related factor connected to difficulties and subsequent postoperative complications of mandibular third molar surgeries. Aim: Against this backdrop, the aim of this study was to explore the patterns of root morphology of mandibular third molars and to elucidate their associations with selected attributes of the surgeries, self-reported preoperative pain and selected postoperative complications among a cohort of Sri Lankan patients. Materials & Methods: A hospital based, descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 715 patients (represented wider age range from adolescents to older adults) who underwent surgical removal of mandibular third molars at the

“…However, in reviewing most oral and maxillofacial surgery recommendations and references, there is inadequate information about the best method of extraction of this ball attached to the root safely and the only advice given is to be cautious during extraction. 4 In Saudi population in Sakaka, Aljouf, the frequency of hypercementosis is low (4.8%) as reported by Patil et al, in 2018: whereas, in Almadinah Almunawwarah, hypercementosis may be a relatively common finding, and its influence on the treatment of teeth affected by this alteration should be realised by the dentists. 5 Therefore, the purpose of the current report is to introduce this case of hypercementosis, review and update the recommended surgical techniques used for extraction, and to explore more avenues on the surgical treatment of hypercementosed teeth with the least complication.…”

A 38-year female was referred from the Restorative Department for extraction of an unrestorable tooth. The patient was referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic to complete the case rehabilitation. The patient's medical history was clear. On preoperative clinical examination, there were multiple attrited teeth with mild gingivitis with no other abnormal features. Upper left third molar was indicated for extraction due to chronic periodontitis and over-eruption as no opposing tooth was present.From the orthopantomogram radiograph, a generalised hypercementosis was noticed in almost all the maxillary

“…The calcified SHL and an elongated styloid process can be radiographically identified, and although the panoramic oral X-ray is easily assessed, it is prone to frequent errors [18]. When simple X-ray is not conclusive, 3D CT is the method of choice for confirming ES diagnosis [19, 20].…”

Context Otitis is common in patients with Turner syndrome (TS) and may be misdiagnosed in the presence of other causes of otalgia. Objective We hypothesized that stylohyoid ligament calcification (SLC), named Eagle syndrome (ES), is a common cause of otalgia in TS. Design Cohort of 1-year data collection. Setting We analyzed all consecutive women with Turner syndrome (TW). Patients Ninety-six TW and 55 age-paired normal control women (CW). Intervention Participants were asked about current or past otalgia and had bilateral tonsillar palatine palpated by the same physician. Main Outcome Measures When otalgia or cervicalgia plus painful palatine tonsil palpation was positive, participants underwent facial X-ray or three-dimensional cranial CT. If SLC was >25 mm, ES was confirmed. Results Thirty-four TW (35%) had clinical signs and 27/34 (79%) had radiologically confirmed ES. Of the TW with confirmed ES (27/96; 28%), 14 (51.9%) were inadvertently treated for recurrent otitis as a presumed cause of otalgia. Eleven of the TW with ES (26.1%) were below age 21. There was no association with karyotype, age, body mass index, or growth hormone use. Ten CW (18.2%) complained of symptoms of ES, but only 4 (7.3%) were radiologically confirmed (CW vs TW, P < 0.01), and none were <21 years old. ES occurred more at younger ages in TW (P < 0.002). Conclusion ES is more prevalent in TW than in controls and occurs at younger ages. ES must be assessed as a common comorbidity of TS at any age, especially during childhood, as a differential diagnosis of otalgia.
