Signature: Date: November 2013 University of Cape Town iv ABSTRACT The management of impacted third molar teeth remains controversial and unresolved. Arguments in favour and against removal of impacted third molar teeth are plentiful and convincing.Most publications do not specify whether the patient suffered systemic or local symptoms. Pathological lesions associated with impacted third molar teeth have been studied to a limited extent. Previous studies have been restricted to relatively small numbers of patients. The aim of this study primarily was to review pathological reports of all symptomatic third molar teeth removed in a private practice, and to use the data to support or refute routine removal of third molar teeth. All patients who underwent third molar tooth removal for symptoms,either systemic or local ,in a private practice over a twenty year period between 1987 and 2007 were included in the study. Specimens were sent for histological assessment by Oral Pathologists. The patient records were reviewed retrospectively.University of Cape Town A total of 3427 third molar teeth were included in the study. There were 68.75% specimens which had some sort of pathology. Only 0.3% of specimens were reported as normal dental follicular tissue. There were 31.25% specimens of hyperplastic follicular tissue which was considered non pathologic as they consisted of normal dental follicular tissue with a mild chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate. However the 68.75% pathologic lesions consisted of 14.44% specimens with early v dentigerous cysts, 8.11% with dentigerous cysts, 42.80% of paradental cysts and the remainder with other pathologies. The majority of the patients were in the second and third decades and mostly female. The age distribution of the patients suggested a progression from hyperplastic follicular tissue with a peak occurring at 17 years, to early dentigerous cysts at 19 years, to dentigerous cysts at 21 years. Paradental cyst formation, with a peak incidence at 19 years of age formed a large number of the pathological lesions found, and accounted for a large number of patients seeking treatment, owing to the symptoms associated. This study represents an analysis of the largest number of symptomatic third molar teeth submitted for histological assessment known. The data obtained was used to review the guidelines for the management of third molar teeth. From this study it can be concluded that symptomatic impacted third molar teeth should be removed early in the third decade in order to avoid general or local symptoms suffered by these patients The role of the Oral Pathologist in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients was emphasized.

Abstract Introduction The frequency of pediatric and adolescent oral and maxillofacial lesions is various in different societies. The present study was aimed at investigating the frequency of oral and maxillofacial pediatric and adolescent biopsies in Zahedan, Southeastern Iran, and compare the results with other epidemiologic studies. Methods and Materials This retrospective study reviewed oral and maxillofacial lesions in patients aged 0-18 years old referring to the treatment centers of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, during 12-years period. Patients’ demographic information including age, gender and location of the lesion were collected and statistically analyzed with SPSS software, version 19. Results In general, among 1112 oral and maxillofacial lesions, 154 (13.9%) cases were related to children and adolescents younger than 18 years old. The average age of patients was 11.4 ± 4.9, 53.2% and 46.8% of them were boys and girls, respectively. The most frequent sites of lesions were the gingiva and lip. The most prevalent lesions included inflammatory/reactive, cystic and neoplastic lesions, respectively. Benign and malignant tumors comprised 12.3% and 4.5% of cases.

ADA Standard No. 2000.2 - 2018 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD/AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION STANDARD NO. 2000.2 FOR SNODENT (SYSTEMIZED NOMENCLATURE OF DENTISTRY) FOREWORD (This Foreword does not form a part of ANSI/ADA Standard No. 2000.2 for SNODENT (Systemized Nomenclature of Dentistry). The ADA SNODENT Canvass Committee has approved ANSI/ADA Standard No. 2000.2 for SNODENT (Systemized Nomenclature of Dentistry). The Committee has representation from all interests in the United States in the development of a standardized clinical terminology for dentistry. The Committee has adopted the standard, showing professional recognition of its usefulness in dentistry, and has forwarded it to the American National Standards Institute with a recommendation that it be approved as an American National Standard. The American National Standards Institute granted approval of ADA Standard No. 2000.2 as an American National Standard on December 3, 2018. A standard electronic health record (EHR) and interoperable national health information infrastructure require the use of uniform health information standards, including a common clinical language. Data must be collected and maintained in a standardized format, using uniform definitions, in order to link data within an EHR system or share health information among systems. The lack of standards has been a key barrier to electronic connectivity in healthcare. Together, standard clinical terminologies and classifications represent a common medical language, allowing clinical data to be effectively utilized and shared among EHR systems.
