Wolford, DMDa,*, João Roberto Gonçalves, DDS, PhDb KEYWORDS Condylar resorption (CR) Adolescent internal condylar resorption (AICR) Reactive (inflammatory) arthritis Autoimmune and connective tissue diseases (AI/CT) Mitek anchor technique Patient-fitted total joint prostheses Periarticular fat grafts Orthognathic surgery KEY POINTS There are many different temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathologic abnormalities that can cause condylar resorption (CR). Jaw deformities, malocclusions, TMJ and jaw dysfunction, pain and headaches, and so on commonly accompany TMJ CR pathologic abnormality. MRI is an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment planning of TMJ pathologic abnormalities. Adolescent internal condylar resorption (AICR) is one of the most common causes of CR, occurs predominately in teenage girls, with onset during their pubertal growth. AICR can be predictably treated with disc repositioning using the Mitek anchor and orthognathic surgery performed in one stage, providing that the discs and condyles are salvageable. Reactive arthritis is commonly caused by bacterial/viral contamination of the TMJ. Patient-fitted total joint prostheses provide the best outcome predictability for TMJ pathologies with non-salvageable discs and condyles. INTRODUCTION condylar resorption (ICR) is a generic term com- monly used to identify CR wherein the specific Condylar resorption (CR) occurs in conditions cause is unknown. ICR has been used to encom- that cause mandibular condylar bone lysis and pass several TMJ pathologic abnormalities of loss of condylar volume. There are several different origins.

Orthodontic treatment involves the usage brackets,bands,wires inside the oral cavity. During the course of treatment, proper care of the appliances by the patient and the Orthodontist is essential. Objective: Helps in better treatment and to avoid any complication during the course of the treatment. Background: The brackets and bands provide for a rough surface which leads to increased plaque and calculus accumulation. Arch wires, brackets and bands can also lead to ulcerations in the oral mucosa. The Orthodontic tooth movement also leads to certain complications like root resorption, gingival enlargement, loss of tooth vitality etc. This is further complicated by the allergic tendencies of the patient to certain materials used in Orthodontic therapy. Reason for the study: Hence it is imperative that the patient as well as the dentist is made aware of the various complications that can occur with Orthodontic treatment and how to deal with them. This review would serve to do the same.

  • Complications in Pediatric Facial Fractures
    Complications in Pediatric Facial Fractures Mimi T. Chao, M.D.,1 and Joseph E. Losee, M.D.1 ABSTRACT Despite recent advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pediatric facial fractures, little has been published on the complications of these fractures. The existing literature is highly variable regarding both the definition and the reporting of adverse events. Although the incidence of pediatric facial fractures is relative low, they are strongly associated with other serious injuries. Both the fractures and their treatment may have long-term consequence on growth and development of the immature face. This article is a selective review of the literature on facial fracture complications with special emphasis on the complications unique to pediatric patients. We also present our classification system to evaluate adverse outcomes associated with pediatric facial fractures. Prospective, long- term studies are needed to fully understand and appreciate the complexity of treating children with facial fractures and determining the true incidence, subsequent growth, and nature of their complications.

Abstract Background: A defect of condylar morphology can be caused by several sources. Case report: A case of altered condylar morphology in adult male with temporomandibular disorders was reported in 30-year-old male patient. Erosion and flattening of the left mandibular condyle were observed by panoramic x-ray. The patient was treated with splint therapy that determined mandibular advancement. Eight months after the therapy, reduction in joint pain and a greater opening of the mouth was observed, although crepitation sounds during mastication were still noticeable. Conclusion: During the following months of gnatologic treatment, new bone growth in the left condyle was observed by radiograph, with further improvement of the symptoms.

  • Idiopathic Condylar Resorption: the Current Understanding in Diagnosis and Treatment
    [Downloaded free from http://www.j-ips.org on Thursday, June 15, 2017, IP: 117.221.101.130] Review Article Idiopathic condylar resorption: The current understanding in diagnosis and treatment Andrew Young Department of Diagnostic Sciences, University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA Abstract Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is a condition with no known cause, which manifests as progressive malocclusion, esthetic changes, and often pain. Cone-beam computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are the most valuable imaging methods for diagnosis and tracking, compared to the less complete and more distorted images provided by panoramic radiographs, and the higher radiation of 99mtechnetium-methylene diphosphonate. ICR has findings that overlap with osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, physiologic resorption/remodeling, congenital disorders affecting the mandible, requiring thorough image analysis, physical examination, and history-taking. Correct diagnosis and determination of whether the ICR is active or inactive are essential when orthodontic or prosthodontic treatment is anticipated as active ICR can undo those treatments. Several treatments for ICR have been reported with the goals of either halting the progression of ICR or correcting the deformities that it caused. These treatments have varying degrees of success and adverse effects, but the rarity of the condition prevents any evidence-based recommendations.

Radiology (Diagnostic Radiology), St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, Pontiac, USA Corresponding author: Christopher C. Zarour, [email protected] Abstract Idiopathic mandibular condylar resorption is a rare condition in which the mandibular condyle of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) becomes resorbed and thus reduces in size and volume. This leads to TMJ dysfunction that commonly requires surgical correction; however, more conservative interventions can also be utilized. We present a case of idiopathic mandibular condyle resorption in a 17-year-old female presenting with TMJ pain and clicking with mastication. A definitive diagnosis of this condition ultimately requires imaging studies, a reliable option being magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which will reveal erosion of the mandibular condylar process (often bilaterally) with diminished mass and volume leading to the known sequelae of symptoms. Categories: Family/General Practice, Otolaryngology, Radiology Keywords: temporomandibular joint (tmj) disorders, jaw pain, atrophic mandible, condyle, idiopathic, micrognathia, mandibular hypoplasia Introduction Mandibular condylar resorption is a rare condition in which the condylar process of the mandible is progressively resorbed and thus reduces in size over a period of time [1]. This phenomenon can be categorized as either primary or secondary condylar resorption [2]. Some well-recognized secondary causes of mandibular condyle resorption include preexisting temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, steroid use, trauma, prior surgery, and certain autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and systemic lupus erythematosus [2-3].

  • Bruxism Through the Eyes of a Wet-Fingered Dentist
    THE DENTAL SURGEON / JUN 2018 ISSUE OUR DENTAL COMMUNITY Bruxism Through the Eyes of A Wet-Fingered Dentist BY DR. DAVID K. L. TAY Introduction Dentistry is fast changing and we all struggle to keep up. What I was taught about bruxism as a student in dental school in the late seventies and what I taught at the faculty of dentistry had expiry dates. As part of the forward planning for the NUS Edmund Tay Mai Hiong endowment fund, a questionnaire survey (n=74) was conducted to assess the current knowledge and attitudes of local dentists regarding sleep and airway issues in dentistry. Alarmingly, 45% of responders were unaware that most sleep bruxism (SB) episodes occurred as a consequence to sleep micro-arousals and, worse, 39% still be- lieved erroneously that ‘SB is an occlusal disorder’. Only 35% (not necessarily those who answered the two previous questions correctly) volunteered that they ‘felt confident’ in managing patients with SB! I have been in private practice limited to the specialty of prosthodontics since 1993. My three areas of special interests are: interdisciplinary full mouth occlusal rehabilitation, the management of chronic orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and dental sleep medicine. What I have learnt from the latter two sectors have transformed my practice of prosthodontics, and I would like to share some of my clinical insights with you. Consensus in the definition & diagnosis of bruxism Bruxism is defined as “a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterized by clenching or grinding of teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible. It has two distinct circadian manifestations: it can occur during sleep i.e.

Objectives: Oral mucositis is the painful inflammation and ulceration of oral tissues as a side- effect of aggressive cancer therapies. Activation of the innate immune response by DAMPs/PAMPs are important components in the initiation and severity of mucositis. Currently, there is no treatment or cure for mucositis. Arrabidaea chica has been traditionally used as a wound healing agent for its anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effects and underlying cell signaling transduction of A. chica extract in LPS/Zymosan-stimulated oral fibroblasts and THP-1 cells was investigated. Methods: Human gingival fibroblasts (HGF-1) and monocytes (THP-1) were cultured. The cytotoxicity of A. chica extract was determined by 24- hour exposure of cells at concentrations from 0.025-250μg/mL. Cell viability assays were then performed to determine the LD50. HGF-1 and THP-1 were exposed to stimulating concentrations of LPS and/or Zymosan with or without A. chica extract. Sample supernatants were collected from samples at 0, 3, and 6-hour time points. Cytokine production was determined by Luminex analysis of the supernatants. Inflammatory pathway modulation was/will be investigated using Simple Western blot techniques and RT-PCR. Results: Viability assays determined that A. chica extract is not toxic to HGF cells in low concentrations. Luminex assays indicated that cells exposed to A.

  • Comprehensive Treatment Approach for Bilateral Idiopathic Condylar Resorption and Anterior Open Bite with Customized Lingual Braces and Total Joint Prostheses
    CASE REPORT Comprehensive treatment approach for bilateral idiopathic condylar resorption and anterior open bite with customized lingual braces and total joint prostheses Jue Wang,a Eva Veiszenbacher,a Peter D. Waite,b and Chung H. Kaua Birmingham, Ala This case report describes the successful treatment of a 14-year-old girl with severe bilateral idiopathic condylar resorption and resultant mandibular retrusion, increased overjet, and anterior open bite. The nonextraction treat- ment plan included (1) aligning and leveling the teeth in both arches, (2) performing Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy, bilateral condylectomy, and mandibular joint replacement, and (3) postsurgical correction of the malocclusion. The orthodontic treatment was initiated with the use of custom lingual appliances followed by orthognathic sur- gery planned with virtual surgical planning. Patient-fitted and customized temporomandibular joint implants were designed and manufactured based on the patient's stereolithic bone anatomic model. Treatment was concluded with detailed orthodontic finishing. Optimum esthetic and functional results were achieved with the cooperation of 2 specialties and the use of state-of-the-art technology.
