Extraction of an impacted third molar is one of the most frequently performed techniques in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Surgeons can suffer numerous external injuries while extracting a tooth, with percutaneous injuries to the hand being the most commonly reported. In this article, we present a case involving a percutaneous injury of the surgeon's femoral region caused by breakage of the fissure bur connected to the handpiece during extraction of the third molar. We also propose precautions to prevent such injuries and steps to be undertaken when they occur.

Purpose: To elucidate the effects of the irradiation and calcium-deficient diet on expression of interleukin (IL)-1 during tooth formation of rat molar. Materials and Methods: The pregnant three-week-old Spague-Dawley rats were used for the study. The control group was non-irradiation/normal diet group, and the experimental groups were irradiation/normal diet group and irradiation/calcium-deficient diet group. The abdomen of the rats on the 9th day of pregnancy were irradiated with single dose of 350 cGy, The rat pups were sacrificed on the 14th day after delivery and the maxillae tooth germs were taken. The specimen were prepared to make sections for light microscopy, and some of tissue sections were stained immunohistochemically with anti-IL-l antibody. Results: In the irradiation/normal diet group, dental follicle showed fewer blood vessels, mononuclear cells, and fusions of mononuclear cells than in non-irradiation/normal diet group. Alveolar bone showed a few osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Periodontal ligament showed collagen fibers and fibroblasts with irregularity. Weak immunoreactivity for IL-l was shown in dental follicle, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. In the irradiation/calcium-deficient diet group, dental follicle showed sparse cellularity. Alveolar bone showed diminished number of osteoblasts. Periodontal ligament showed irregular collagen fibers and atrophy of cementoblasts and fibroblasts. No immunoreactivity for IL-1 was shown in dental follicle, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. Conclusion: Irradiation and calcium-deficient diet seems to cause disturbance of the expression of interleukin-l during tooth formation of rat molar.

This report demonstrates a case of tooth autotransplantation into the oroantral fistula site after extraction. Oroantral fistula can be developed when maxillary molar or premolar is extracted in case the root of tooth closed to or inside maxillary sinus. In most of cases, this would heal spontaneously without any interventions. Sometimes, many procedures including flap closure would be used judging from perforating size and previous inflammation. Although fistula size of this case is not that large, closure with tooth autotransplanted has successfully accomplished. So this report will discuss about several clinical aspects.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the blood supply to the maxillary sinus in Koreans using computed tomography of the lateral wall of the sinus, and to analyze the data according to demographic data, and to compare our results with previously published research. Methods: One hundred and three patients (males 51, females 52) who visited the dental clinic were evaluated. We investigated the canals with cone-beam computed tomography, and measured the diameter and length from the bony notch of the vascular canal at the lateral wall of the sinus to each of the reference planes. Results: Most types of vascular canal were type I & II (total 72.2%) which were driving through inside the sinus wall. Type IV, V were frequently investigated in 1st premolar and 2nd molar. Mean height; from anterior nasal spine-posterior nasal spine plane to vascular canal was 5.56 mm in 1st premolar, 2.11 mm in 2nd premolar, 0.98 mm in 1st molar, 4.32 mm in 2nd molar; from the basal layer of the sinus was 4.93 mm in 1st premolar, 5.00 mm in 2nd premolar, 6.05 mm in 1st molar, 7.91 mm in 2nd molar; and from alveolar crest, 20.80 mm in 1st premolar, 16.57 mm in 2nd premolar, 14.01 mm in 1st molar, 16.17 mm in 2nd molar. The mean height of the vascular canal of each reference plane showed no significant difference between sex, site (left or right) and age. The mean diameters of the canals were 1.76 mm in male, and 1.50 mm in female. Diameter decreased with age, and tooth site (from 1st premolar to 2nd molar). Conclusion: These results show that the mean diameter of the vascular canal of the maxillary sinus varies according to age, sex, and tooth site, but that the mean height of canal had no significant difference based on these three factors.

Objectives: This study was conducted to compare the post-fracture survival rate of endodontically treated molar endodontically treated teeth (molar ETT) restored with resin composites or crowns and to identify potential risk factors, using a retrospective cohort design. Materials and Methods: Dental records of molar ETT with crowns or composite restorations (recall period, 2015-2019) were collected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The incidence of unrestorable fractures was identified, and molar ETT were classified according to survival. Information on potential risk factors was collected. Survival rates and potential risk factors were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier log-rank test and Cox regression model. Results: The overall survival rate of molar ETT was 87% (mean recall period, 31.73 ± 17.56 months). The survival rates of molar ETT restored with composites and crowns were 81.6% and 92.7%, reflecting a significant difference (p < 0.05). However, ETT restored with composites showed a 100% survival rate if only 1 surface was lost, which was comparable to the survival rate of ETT with crowns. The survival rates of ETT with composites and crowns were significantly different (97.6% vs. 83.7%) in the short-term (12-24 months), but not in the long-term (> 24 months) (87.8% vs. 79.5%). Conclusions: The survival rate from fracture was higher for molar ETT restored with crowns was higher than for ETT restored with composites, especially in the first 2 years after restoration. Molar ETT with limited tooth structure loss only on the occlusal surface could be successfully restored with composite restorations.

Purpose: This study investigated the prevalence of developmental and acquired pathologic conditions associated with impacted third molars (3Ms) in a Southern Brazilian population and evaluated whether demographic and tooth characteristics were correlated with the presence of bone or tooth lesions. Materials and Methods: Panoramic radiographs were assessed for developmental (bone-related) or acquired (tooth-related) pathoses associated with impacted upper or lower 3Ms. Data on tooth positioning, tooth development, and patient demographics were collected. A trained, calibrated postgraduate student evaluated all images. Binary and multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess associations between outcomes and the demographic and radiographic variables. The threshold for statistical significance was set at 5% (P<0.05). Results: The sample comprised panoramic radiographs from 2054 patients, predominantly female (59.2%), with a mean age of 27.2±11.5 years. Overall, 4066 impacted 3Ms were evaluated, revealing 471 (11.6%) developmental and 710 (17.5%) acquired pathoses. Among the developmental pathoses, 460 (95.2%) were indicative of dentigerous cysts. Male sex, lower 3M location, vertical or distoangular positioning, and incomplete root formation were associated with an elevated likelihood of developmental pathology. Lower tooth position, complete root formation, and partial eruption were linked to an increased probability of an acquired pathology in the third or second molar. Conclusion: The prevalence of pathologic conditions associated with impacted 3Ms was low. Male sex, lower 3M placement, horizontal or distoangular positioning, and incomplete root formation were associated with developmental pathoses, while lower tooth position, complete root formation, and partial eruption were related to acquired pathoses.
