LARGE ODONTOGENIC CYSTIC LESIONS WITH ECTOPIC IMPACTED TEETH CASE REPORT
Aim: Cystic and cystlike lesions of the maxilla and mandible are
primarily ellipsoid, radiolucent, and clearly demarcated and may
be odontogenic or nonodontogenic. Odontogenic cysts and tumors
develop during or after the formation of teeth. Most odontogenic
lesions are benign, but some may exhibit aggressive and destruc-
tive behavior locally. In this case report will be presented some
cases like dentigerous cysts, keratocysts and an unicystic amelo-
blastoma with ectopic impacted teeth and their wide variety treat-
ment options from minimal invasive to more aggresive.
Cases: We describe six cases, who refferred to our Oral and Max-
illofacial Surgery clinic of Istanbul Universtiy Faculty of Dentistry
between years 2009 and 2010 with some complaints like facial
asymmetry and absence of teeth. The patient age ranged from 18
to 34 years, with sex distribution of one female and five males.
According to radiological examinations large cystic lesions and
ectopic impacted teeth were diagnosed.
Four dentigerous cysts, one keratocyst and one unicystic amelo-
blastoma were diagnosed after histological examination. Five of
these lesions were located in mandibular ramus region, one were
located in maxillary tuber area. Three years follow up after sur-
gery was made and postoperative healing were satisfactory.
Conclusions: It is important by selecting the treatment protocol. It
is often difficult to distinguish cystic-appearing lesions from one
another with radiography. Careful consideration of the patient his-Aim: Cystic and cystlike lesions of the maxilla and mandible are

Piezosurgery and classical surgical techniques in surgical extraction of third molar teeth
Background:Producing a safer and less aggressive osteotomy technique, to decrease the complications in oral and maxillofacial surgery, was the main goal for the clinicians for many years. As a result of these researches piezoelectric surgery is introduced a new osteotomy technique that can support conventional osteotomy techniques in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Objective:In this study we compared piezosurgery and classical surgery techniques for mandibular third molar surgery in terms of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative (anxiety, pain, and nerve damage and also gender and position of tooth) parameters.
Methods:21 patients (14 female, 7 male) with bilateral same positioned mandibular third molars which were concluded to extract with the indications of prosthetic, orthodontic reasons and pressure pain were included in our study. All the procedures are done by same surgeon. The data were processed statistically using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 15.0.
Findings and conclusionNerve and vessel protection, selective, precise, less aggressive osteotomy are some advantages of piezosurgery; but it is not seemed to be significantly more beneficial than classical osteotomy method in terms of reducing perioperative anxiety and pain.
No significant difference was seen between piezoelectric and classical osteotomy techniques in terms of pain, anxiety and nerve damage
A comparative evaluation of pain and anxiety levels in 2 different anesthesia techniques: locoregional anesthesia using conventional syringe versus intraosseous anesthesia using a computer-controlled system (Quicksleeper)
Objective. The aim of this study was to compare anxiety and pain levels during anesthesia and efficacy of Quicksleeper intraosseous (IO) injection system, which delivers computer-controlled IO anesthesia and conventional inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) in impacted mandibular third molars
