OBJECTIVE
The antimetabolite drug, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), is used in the treatment of various cancers, including basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). The authors hypothesized that keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KOTs) would respond to 5-FU treatment because of their similarities to BCCs in molecular
OBJECTIVE
Keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KOTs) can be treated with Carnoy's solution, although this treatment modality is not free from complications. It is important to verify the incidence of complications after the use of Carnoy's solution and compare these with the literature.

Odontogenic tumors of the jawbones arise in the tissues of the odontogenic apparatus. Although many odontogenic tumors and tumorlike lesions may be asymptomatic, they can become severe enough to cause pain, swelling, paresthesias, facial disfigurement, and various dental problems. The evaluation of
A 23-year-old female patient reported with the chief complaint of swelling on the lower left posterior teeth region of the jaw and paresthesia of left lower lip of 6 months of duration. On the basis of clinical findings and conventional radiographic features, odontogenic tumor or cyst was suspected.
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a relatively rare and distinct odontogenic tumor that is exclusively odontogenic epithelium in origin. Although considerable numbers of reports are available with regard to the clinical and histological spectrum of AOT, very few have highlighted its rare
BACKGROUND
Different surgical procedures are utilized for treatment of various diseases of the posterior mandible depending on the type of disease, site, duration and age of the patient. A thorough knowledge of the anatomical relations of structures and adequate surgical skills are needed to
Intraosseous lipoma appears less frequently in the maxilla than in the mandible. The initial phase of tumor development is characterized by asymptomatic growth, followed by the presence of pain and paresthesia in the later stage. We report the case of a 43-year-old female patient who contacted a
BACKGROUND
Admantinoma is second most common benign odontogenic tumor which clinically appears as an aggressive odontogenic tumor, often asymptomatic and slow growing, associated with symptoms such as swelling, dental malocclusion, pain, and paresthesia of the affected area. The radiographic
Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare odontogenic tumor exhibiting histological evidence of malignancy in the primary or recurrent tumor. It is characterized by rapid, painful expansion of the jaw, unlike conventional ameloblastomas. The tumor most frequently involves the mandible. The expanding lesion
BACKGROUND
Lower third molars show the highest incidence of impaction and have been held responsible for pathologies such as pericoronitis, periodontitis, second molars tooth-crown resorption, pain, cysts or odontogenic tumors, primary or secondary crowding of the dentition. Early removal of these
OBJECTIVE
This report documents our experience over the previous 15 years using free vascularized fibular flaps for comprehensive reconstruction of large defects in the mandible, after combined resections of aggressive, malignant odontogenic tumors or for post-traumatic defects.

Ameloblastoma is the second most common odontogenic tumor arising in the maxillary bones. The WHO classified ameloblastoma in: solid/multicystic (SMA); unicystic; peripheral and desmoplastic. A conservative or radical approach may be performed for SMA treatment to achieve total excision of the
The aim of this case series study was to illustrate the bone lid technique implemented using piezoelectric surgery to access mandibular alveolar bone diseases and to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes. The technique was used to treat 21 consecutive patients with various conditions: cysts
