“…This phenomenon is a certain limitation of the literature review presented here. Note, however, that groundbreaking articles from more than 50 years ago are cited here [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 9 , 13 , 16 , 38 , 56 , 57 ]. It is concerning that citations are rising by 5.6% per year, with them doubling every 12 years among scientific papers with a gap in the citation of brand new or very old research [ 58 ]; the strength of this paper is that there are also many citations of research that is younger than six years old [ 1 , 14 , 17 , 18 , 23 , 24 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 34 , 36 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 56 ].…”

There are significant discrepancies in the reported prevalence of condylar process fractures among all mandibular fractures (16.5–56%) in the available literature. In addition, it seems that the actual number of difficult-to-treat fractures of the mandibular head is unknown. The purpose of this study is to present the current incidence of the different types of mandibular process fractures with a special focus on mandibular head fractures. The medical records of 386 patients with single or multiple mandibular fractures were reviewed. Of the fractures found, 58% were body fractures, 32% were angle fractures, 7% were ramus fractures, 2% were coronoid process fractures, and 45% were condylar process fractures. The most common fracture of the condylar process was a basal fracture (54% of condylar fractures), and the second most common fracture was a fracture of the mandibular head (34% of condylar process fractures). Further, 16% of patients had low-neck fractures, and 16% had high-neck fractures. Of the patients with head fractures, 8% had a type A fracture, 34% had a type B fracture, and 73% had a type C fracture. A total of 89.6% of the patients were surgically treated with ORIF. Mandibular head fractures are not as rare as previously thought. Head fractures occur twice as often in the pediatric population than in adults. A mandibular fracture is most likely related to a mandible head fracture. Such evidence can guide the diagnostic procedure in the future.

“…Sample size may have influenced this result. It is also possible that the presence of a Stafne defect, a bone defect that reduces mandibular volume [ 22 ], may have affected the results.…”

Comparison of Mandibular Volume and Linear Measurements in Patients with Mandibular Asymmetry

et al. 2023

In patients with mandibular asymmetry, the volume of the mandible divided by the mandibular median plane is significantly larger on the non-deviated (N-Dev) side than on the deviated (Dev) side. However, it has been reported that there is no significant difference between the volumes of the N-Dev and Dev sides when the mandibular ramus and body are divided. The purpose of this study was to investigate which region is responsible for the volume difference between the N-Dev and Dev sides. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images of patients with mandibular asymmetry were analyzed by measuring the volume, and linear analysis of the mandibular body, ramus, and condyle on the N-Dev and Dev side was performed. In this study, CBCT images of 37 patients (8 Japanese, 16 Korean, and 13 Egyptian) aged ≥ 18 years with mandibular asymmetry (men: 20, women: 17) were used to evaluate mandibular asymmetry. In patients with mandibular asymmetry, the N-Dev side showed significantly larger values than the Dev side for both volume and linear condyle, ramus, and mandibular body measurements. These results do not differ according to sex or ethnicity. Therefore, it is suggested that the N-Dev side of mandibular asymmetry is large without any regional specificity in pathophysiology.

“…Moreover, despite being uncommon in the anterior region of the jaw, Stafne bone cavity can have an analogous radiological appearance to GOC [ 20 ]. However, this defect generally presents a bone depression in the lingual surface rather than swellings, being easily distinguished from tumors with three-dimensional imaging [ 21 ]. Due to the higher recurrence rates of GOC in comparison with all these lesions, having the correct diagnosis is of the utmost importance [ 8 ].…”

Glandular Odontogenic Cyst in the Anterior Mandible: A Case Report of a Conservative Approach and a Recurrence Detection

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose: The glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is considered a rare developmental cyst, with an odontogenic origin and both epithelial and glandular characteristics, with less than 200 reported cases in the literature. Methods: In the present case, a 29-year-old man was referred for evaluation of an asymptomatic slow-growing swelling in the anterior region of the mandible, with one-year history. The patient’s medical history did not reveal any systemic alteration. The extraoral examination did not show enlargement of the facial contour and the intraoral examination showed vestibular and lingual swelling. Panoramic radiography and CT scan revealed a well-defined unilocular radiolucent lesion involving the inferior incisors and canines bilaterally. Results: Histopathological analysis revealed multiple cysts lined by stratified epithelium with varying thickness and characteristics, in addition to duct-like structures filled with PAS-positive amorphous material, suggestive of GOC. Conservative treatment was performed through surgical curettage, peripheral ostectomy of the surgical site and apicectomy of the teeth involved in the lesion. There was one recurrence, which was detected in postoperative follow-up, leading to a new surgical approach. Conclusions: Fifteen months after the second procedure, no signs of recurrence were identified, and bone neoformation within the surgical site occurred, supporting that a conservative approach for the treatment of GOC is viable.
