Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are now considered benign cysts of odontogenic origin that are characterized by an aggressive behavior with a relatively high recurrence rate, particularly when OKCs are associated with syndromes. Its histological appearance is characteristic with the presence of an epithelial lining parakeratinized showing a corrugated surface, together with a number of architectural features of ...
In maxillomandibular complex lesions of various etiolopathogenesis may occur. Commonly, lesions are solitary, however, in in rare cases, multiple lesions with distinct natures affect the maxillo-mandibular complex. Until now, the recent literature, there are no reports of simultaneous impairment of periapical cysts, dentigerous and cementoblastoma in the same patient. We report the case of a 38-year-old with sy...

The present study aimed to analyze cephalometric predictors of abnormal sella turcica (ST) in Sheehan Syndrome (SS) patients. An observational case-control study was performed with SS volunteers from the Endocrinology and Diabetology Service of the Walter Cantídio University Hospital (Brazil). The sample was composed of 32 patients allocated in two groups: case group (16 adult women diagnosed with SS) and contr...
Background: There are several lesions of odontogenic and non-odontogenic origin in the oral cavity, such as odontogenic keratocyst, as well as many treatment options for such lesions. In order to reduce recurrence due to conservative treatments and less aesthetic and functional impairment of the patient (radical therapies), Carnoy’s solution has been used as an adjuvant to surgery, showing satisfactory results....
Transverse maxilla deficiency is a dentofacial deformity characterized by the presence of posterior crossbite and several treatment modalities have been used in the treatment of this deformity. In adults or patients with established bone maturity, surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) has been indicated due to its predictability and lower associated morbidity. Despite the wide use of this treatm...
Background: To investigate the occupational profile, educational level, marital status and deleterious habits to the health of patients with maxillofacial fractures of a population of northeastern Brazil. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of patients records admitted to the Division of Oral and Maxillofa - cial Surgery at the Walter Cantídio University Hospital (Fortaleza, Brazil) who sustained maxill...
Carnoy's solution has been widely undertaken as adjunctive therapy for benign odontogenic tumors. Although its outcomes were highly investigated, little information is available regarding its mechanism of action and the role of chloroform in composition. The aim of this study was to characterize Carnoy's solution (with and without chloroform) in order to survey its physicochemical and pharmacological properties...
Purpose: To evaluate different therapeutic Carnoy's solution formulations on hard human tissues. Materials and methods: An in vitro study was performed with human teeth (n ¼ 36) and bone fragments (n ¼ 18), randomly divided into two experimental groups (Group I ¼ Carnoy solution with chloroform; Group II ¼ Carnoy solution without chloroform) and a control group (saline solution). The groups were subdivided into...
The maxillofacial region may be affected by a variety of benign lesions (odontogenic and non-odontogenic), but locally invasive. The use of a conservative treatment can generate high rates of recurrence, whereas a radical approach can lead to aesthetic-functional disorders. The use of Carnoy's solution, as a complementary therapy to surgical treatment, has been described in the literature with the purpose of re...
