Horizontal bone defect in the anterior maxilla makes it difficult to place dental implant. The golden standard for bone augmentation is autogenous block bone graft. Tight contact with recipient site and rigid fixation are two key factors for successful block bone graft. Ramal bone graft has been the most reliable methods for dental implant field. However, the curvature of the alveolar ridge is different from ramal bone shape. Intraoperative trimming of ramal bone is cumbersome for surgeon. In this technical note, a simple way to design the ramal bone harvest using bone wax stent is reviewed.

Osteoma is a benign osteogenic tumor composed of cancellous or compact bone, classified as peripheral, central, or extraskeletal. Peripheral osteomas are uncommon. Excluding the maxillary sinuses, the maxilla is a rare site for osteomas. The purpose of this report was to describe clinicopathological and radiological features of two peripheral osteomas occurring in the jaws, one located in the mandible and another in the edentulous maxillary alveolar ridge. The tumors were asymptomatic and were fully excised without any complications or recurrence. The lesions were submitted to histopathological analysis and diagnosed as peripheral osteoma, compact type.

Proponents of bilaterally balanced occlusion believe that this occlusal concept is important for denture retention and stability. However, the critical appraisal of the literature reveals no scientific evidence to support the bilaterally balanced occlusion as the ideal occlusal concept for conventional complete dentures. Current evidence suggests that the occlusal concept has little influence on clinical outcomes or patient satisfaction. Additional randomized controlled clinical trials should be developed taking into account the influence of mucosal resiliency, alveolar ridge anatomy, and parafunctional activities on occlusal concept choice. In this paper, various types of complete denture occlusion (bilaterally balanced occlusion, lingualized occlusion, canine-guided occlusion) will be reviewed and compared.

Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant tumor of bone. The mean age of occurrence of osteosarcoma in the jaws is around 30, somewhat older than for other sites in the body. These lesions occur about equally in the maxilla and mandible. They most frequently develop in the body in the mandible, and the antrum and the posterior portion of alveolar ridge in the maxilla. We report a case of osteosarcoma in 35 years old female complaining swelling of the left cheek. Radiographic features showed cotton wool appearance in upper left posterior area. Histopathologic findings exhibited pleomorphic malignant osteoblasts and neoplastic osteoid.

Cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx represents the 7th most diagnosed malignancy in Spain. Mucoepidermoid carcinomas are the most frequent malignancies of the minor salivary glands of oral cavities. The purpose of this report is to describe the very rare case of an alveolar ridge high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma presenting as an inside socket radiolucent lesion, simulating an apical cyst. The patient was diagnosed in our unit for oral and maxillofacial surgery and treated with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient continues to be free of recurrent/persistent, local/regional disease after two years of follow up. Non-healed tooth related lesions present for more than one year are strongly recommended to be biopsied and evaluated histopathologically.

Congenital epulis (CE) is an extremely rare benign tumor of the gingiva that is found on the alveolar ridge of newborns, and the main treatment option is simple excision. Postoperative prognosis is very good, and spontaneous regression may occur despite incomplete excision. This report presented a rare case of CE and its healing process after surgery under local anesthesia. The treatment plan was decided upon through consultation between a medical team and the patient's family, with surgical excision for the main lesion, which benefitted from surgery, and follow-up for a very small-sized lesion, which was thought to be appropriate for a newborn. No recurrence was found after its removal, and favorable healing was observed.

연구 목적: 본 연구는 골형성단백질의 서방출을 위해 헤파린과 골형성단백질 (rhBMP-2)을 화학적으로 고정시킨 양극산화 티타늄 임플란트가 골 결손부에서 임플란트 주변의 수직적 골증대에 미치는 효과를 방사선학적으로 평가하고자 시행되었다. 연구 재료 및 방법: Pure-Titanium을 사용하여 길이 7.0 mm, 직경 3.5 mm의 실험용 임플란트 18개를 제작하였다. 모든 임플란트를 양극산화처리 하였고, 플랫폼 하방 2.5 mm에 식립 기준선을 표시하였다. rhBMP-2가 코팅되지 않은 임플란트 집단을 대조군으로, dip and dry 방법으로 rhBMP-2를 물리적 흡착시킨 집단을 BMP군, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine(DOPA)-heparin을 이식하고 rhBMP-2를 화학적으로 고정시킨 집단을 Hep-BMP군으로 설정하였다. 각군별6개씩의 임플란트를 3마리의 비글견 양측 하악에 한쪽에 3개씩 총 18개를 치조정 상방으로 2.5 mm 노출시켜 식립하였다. 식립 직후와 4주, 8주에 식립부위의 방사선학적 검사가 시행되었고, 각 시기별, 각 군별 임플란트의 근원심 변연골의 수직적 재생량에 대한 평균값과 표준편차를 얻었다. Kruskal-Wallis test와 Mann-Whitney U test를 이용하여 4주, 8주에서 대조군과 실험군들의 차이를 비교 분석하고, 유의 수준5%에서 통계적으로 검정하였다. 결과:방사선학적 관찰 결과 임플란트 근원심 변연골 재생량(평균값 ${\pm}$ 표준편차)은 4주에 대조군은 $0.09{\pm}0.22mm$, BMP군은 $1.02{\pm}0.72mm$, Hep-BMP군은 $1.29{\pm}0.51mm$ 였으며, 8주에서는 각각 $0.11{\pm}1.26mm$, $1.11{\pm}0.58mm$, $1.59{\pm}0.79mm$였다. 두 실험군 모두 4주와 8주에서 대조군과 비교 시 유의한 수직적 골증대를 나타냈으나(P<.05), Hep-BMP군과BMP군의 비교에서는 유의한 변연골 재생량 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>.05). 결론: 골형성단백질을 물리적으로 흡착시키거나 서방출 위해 헤파린을 이용하여 화학적으로 고정시킨 양극산화 임플란트 표면은 모두 골 결손부에서 임플란트 주변골의 수직적 증대에 효과적이었다. 그러나 방사선학적 관찰의 한계 내에서 골형성단백질의 이 두가지 적용방법간에는 수직적 골증대량에 유의한 차이가 없었다.

Objectives : It is difficult to place implants at a severely atrophied edentulous mandible because of vertical and horizontal alveolar defect. The autogenous and allogenic bone graft and guided bone regeneration are useful, but there are some limitations such as the resorption and infection of the grafted bone, and insufficiency of soft tissue. Distraction osteogenesis has recently evolved a challenging technique to overcome major draws of conventional augmentation procedures, we, therefore, report the four applications of implant placement after vertical alveolar distraction osteogenesis. Patients and Methods : Four patients(all female, mean age: $60{\pm}6$ years) with severe alveolar ridge deficiencies at their anterior mandible were treated with vertical alveolar distraction osteogenesis by intraoral device(Track 1.5, 15 mm model, KLS Martin, Tuttlingen, Germany) and placement of implants (Branemark MK III, TiUnite). After the latency periods of 5, 7, 8 days, distraction rhythm and rate were $0.5\;mm{\times}2\;times/day$ in the case of good bone quality, and $0.25\;mm{\times}3\;times/day$ in the case of poor bone quality. After consolidation periods of mean fifteen weeks, five implants for each patients were placed at the interforaminal area. Results : On average, a vertical gain of $11.38{\pm}1.38\;mm$ was obtained by distraction. And all distraction zone showed complete ossification by panoramic radiography. There were no postoperative complications other than numbness of lower lip in one case. Total twenty implants in four patients were placed and their outcomes were satisfactory. Conclusion : It is a useful method to place five implants after vertical distraction osteogenesis of the severely atrophied mandible for the implant-supported fixed prosthesis.

Introduction: Maxillary posterior region, compared to the mandible or maxillary anterior region, has a thin cortical bone layer and is largely composed of cancellous bone, and therefore, it is often difficult to achieve primary stability. In such cases, sinus elevation with bone graft is necessary. Materials and Methods: In this research, 121 patients who had implant placement after bone graft were subjected to a follow-up study of 5 years from the moment of the initial surgery. The total survival rate, 5-year cumulative survival rate and the influence of the following factors on implant survival were evaluated; the condition of the patient (sex, age, general body condition), the site of implant placement, diameter and length of the implant, sinus elevation technique, closure method for osseous window, type of prosthesis and opposing teeth. Results: 1. The 5-year cumulative survival rate of total implants was 90.5%, there was no significant difference between sex, age, the site of implant placement, diameter and length of the implant, sinus elevation technique, and the type of opposing teeth. 2. Patients with diabetes mellitus < osteoporosis and smooth-surfaced machined group < hydroxyapatite (HA)-treated group and homogenous demineralized freeze dried allogenic bone (DFDB) bone graft only group had significantly lower survival rate. 3. With less than 4 mm of residual alveolar ridge height, lateral approach without closing the osseous window resulted in a significantly lower survival rate. 4. Restoration of a single implant showed a significantly lower survival rate, compared to cases where the superstructure was joined with several implants in the area. Conclusion: Patients with diabetes or osteoporosis need longer period of time for osseointegration compared to the normal, and the dentists must be prudent when choosing a surface treatment type and the bone graft material. Also, as the vertical dimension of the residual alveolar ridge can influence the result, staged implant placement should be considered when it seems difficult for the implant to gain primary stability from the residual bone with less than 4 mm of vertical dimension. It is recommended to obdurate the bone window and that the superstructure be connected with several impants in the peripheral area.
