Clinical Cases

ABSTRACT Anatomical variations of mandibular canal have rarely been reported in the literature. The aim of this paper is to present three clinical cases of bifid mandibular canal diagnosed with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as well as discuss its clinical implications. The first case is very interesting due to its anatomic variation verified in a panoramic radiograph during orthodontic planning, mimicking an odontogenic tumor. The second and the third cases were identified during tomographic evaluation for third molar exodontia. The diagnosis of bifid canals is extremely relevant in order to avoid complications during surgical procedures and implant placement as well as anesthesia failures which cause pain, paresthesia and bleeding. Furthermore, the shape of these anatomical variations can be confused with bone lesions.

Dental Injuries

Trauma of the Oral & Maxillofacial region occurs frequently and comprises 5% of all injuries. Among all facial injuries, dental injuries are the most common, of which crown fracture & luxation occurs more frequently. This article highlighted two cases of anterior teeth trauma of which the first case is about a crown fracture of upper right lateral incisor, wherein a single visit RCT was performed and the fractured fragment was reattached directly to the tooth and the second case is about a luxation injury of both the upper central incisors, in which the luxated teeth were digitally reduced & stabilized by splinting followed by completion of endodontic treatment. Both these case reports contain a successful follow-up of 1 year clinically & radiographically. The second case (i.e., the luxation injury), was further evaluated with Cone Beam Computed Tomography after 1year to assess healing & resorption.

Abstract Background/Objective: This study aims to describe in detail the characteristics of the different jaw bone lesions seen in cone beam computed tomography examinations, from a retrospective analysis. Methods: All the preoperative examinations of cone beam computed tomography of intraosseous lesions of the jaws were retrospectively reviewed from patients treated at the Department of Stomatology of a Brazilian University, from 2008 to 2017. The following data were collected: sex, age, location, density and size of the lesion, relation to an unerupted tooth, margins, cortical and/or perforation, tooth displacement, root resorption, presence of calcifications, and proximity to anatomical structures. Fisher's exact test was used to verify associations between the variables. Results: We identified 28 lesions, all of which were benign: 14 odontogenic keratocysts, 5 odontomas, 3 dentigerous cysts, 2 ameloblastomas, 1 ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, 1 cementoblastoma, 1 adenomatoid odontogenic tumour, and 1 calcifying epithelial odontogenic cyst. Of these lesions, 23 affected the mandible, and 5 the maxilla. The lesions were subdivided into aggressive and non-aggressive, and when compared, there was a difference only for the cortical cone perforation variable (p <0.05), which was more prevalent in aggressive lesions, suggesting that this characteristic is an important indicator of pathological behaviour. Conclusions: An accurate identification of the characteristics of bone lesions of the buccomaxillofacial complex, using cone beam computed tomography, can guide diagnostic hypotheses, in addition to guiding the management, thus, providing a more appropriate treatment for each individualized case.
