The animal in this case report was a 10-year-old male Taiwanese monkey (Macaca cyclopis) kept at a zoo of South Korea. Over the last three years, a cauliflower-shaped masses have been noted on the gingiva near the incisor and molar teeth on right maxilla. Consequently, this monkey have undergone surgical removal of the mass annually. Grossly masses showed pinkish color. Histopathological findings, typical spindle cell tumor composed of collagen fibers. Infiltration by plasma cells and lymphocytes is found unrelated to ulceration of the surface epithelium. This is the first report of peripheral odontogenic fibroma in a Formosan rock macaque.

The present report describe the surgical therapy, clinical course, orthodontic treatment and morphological characteristics of an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor in the maxilla of an 11-year-old patient. The cystic tumor filled the maxillary sinus and involved a tooth. Marsupialization was accompanied by partial enucleation and applied traction to the affected tooth by a fixed orthodontic appliance. Healing was uneventful and no local recurrence was observed during a 1-year period of follow-up control.

A 13-year old boy was referred to the dept. of Oral Surgery in Dental Infirmary of S.N.U. and followed by thorough examination, was diagnosed as an odontogenic cyst in maxilla. The author has reported this case because it is a rare one that the expansion of two different preoccurred odontogenic cysts formed a large fused-type cystic cavity and complete enucleation of the mass under general anesthesia brought satisfactory results.

Pain is a multidimensional experience that involves a complex interaction of sensory,affective and cognitive components. And especially, because of the emotional significance of orofacial pain, it is often a puzzing problem that clinicians are forced with from day to day. This case report describes differential diagnosis and management of dental and myofacial pain affected by psychological factors.

Extension of advanced odontogenic infection from deep neck fascial spaces into the mediastinum is heralded by chest pain, dyspnea, fever, and radiographic demonstration of mediastinal widening. The critical care should be done in a team approach by multiple medical and dental departments, such as, oral & maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, anesthesiology, chest surgery, and infection medicine. Especially, fluid & drug therapy, adequate incision & drainage and systemic supportive psychosedation care are important. But, acute hyperventilation can be produced by several distinct causes: severe anxiety, respiratory alkalosis, increased blood catecholamine levels, and a decrease in the level of the ionized calcium in the blood. The orofacial fears about acute pain, trismus, dysphagia, swelling and oral surgical treatment lead to the severe anxiety and increased blood catecholamine level by stress. Therefore, the most dental patient should be cared gently as the stress reduction protocol. In spite of the care, hyperventilation was occurred during psychosedation and local anesthesia for incision and drainage of the masticatory fascial space abscess with deep neck infection & mediastinitis. We suggest that the dental patient with advanced odontogenic infection must be attention for the manifestation of hyperventilation, especially in the medically compromised conditions.

We reviewed 30 cases of keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) managed during the 8-year period between 2001 and 2008. This case report described the clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features of these KCOT. Of the 30 patients in whom KCOTs were diagnosed, 18 (60%) of the patients were male and 12 (40%) were female. The mean age of these patients was 34.2 years, with peak incidence occurring in the third decade of life. The lesions were mostly located in the mandible (74.2%) and in the maxilla (25.8%). There was a marked predilection to occur in the posterior mandible. Radiographically, 19 (63%) out of the 30 cases were unilocular type with a well demarcated border, while 11 cases (37%) were multilocularin appearance. Histopathologically, 73% of the cysts were lined with parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium, while only 3% of the cysts were lined with mixed parakeratinized of orthokeratinized epithelium. 22 cases (73%) contained keratin in the lumen. A satellite cyst was observed in 14 cases (47%). All cysts were treated by enucleation. The recurrence rate was shown as 10% for 3 patients with a follow up period and recurred lesions were treated by re-enucleation.

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.

Bone tissue engineering is one of the important therapeutic approaches to the regeneration of bones in the entire field of regeneration medicine. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are actively discussed as material for bone tissue engineering due to their ability to differentiate into autologous bone. MSCs are able to differentiate into different lineages: osteo/odontogenic, adipogenic, and neurogenic. The tissue of origin for MSCs defines them as bone marrow-derived stem cells, adipose tissue-derived stem cells, and, among many others, dental stem cells. According to the tissue of origin, DSCs are further stratified into dental pulp stem cells, periodontal ligament stem cells, stem cells from apical papilla, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, dental follicle precursor cells, and dental papilla cells. There are numerous in vitro/in vivo reports suggesting successful mineralization potential or osteo/odontogenic ability of MSCs. Still, there is further need for the optimization of MSCs-based tissue engineering methods, and the introduction of genes related to osteo/odontogenic differentiation into MSCs might aid in the process. In this review, articles that reported enhanced osteo/odontogenic differentiation with gene introduction into MSCs will be discussed to provide a background for successful bone tissue engineering using MSCs with artificially introduced genes.

치성감염에 의한 이차적인 후측인두부나 종격동 감염은 매우 드물게 나타나지만 이러한 감염은 초기의 정확한 진단과 즉각적인 치료가 매우 중요하다. 이의 진단을 위해서는 후측인두부 감염시에 나타나는 임상증상을 잘 이해하고 주의깊은 환자의 관찰을 요하며 전산화 단층촬영이 질환의 진단과 치료에 매우 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 후측인두부나 종격동 농양 형성시에는 적절한 항생제요법과 광범위한 외과적 배농 그리고 세심한 술후 처치가 치료의기본이 된다. 저자들은 치성감염에 의해 후측인두 및 종격동 농양이 발생된 3명의 환자에서 이를 조기에 진단하고 광범위한 외과적 배농과 적절한 항생제요법을 시행하여 양호한 치료 결과를 얻었다.
