Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw with the mTOR Inhibitor Everolimus in a Patient with Estrogen-Receptor Positive Breast Cancer: A Case Report

Cameron YS Lee, Kristin L Lee, Kirk Y Hirata and Jon B Suzuki

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: September 17, 2016

In the treatment of bone metastases from breast cancer, bisphosphonates are considered the cornerstone of treatment to prevent adverse skeletal related events. Intravenous bisphosphonates reduce bone resorption by inhibiting osteoclast function. However, osteonecrosis of the jaws is a commonly reported side effect with intravenous bisphosphonates to treat malignancies, such as breast cancer and restricts their clinic use. New targeted therapies have recently been introduced to improve progressio...

In recent decades, the search for better techniques and materials for the treatment of bone defects in dentistry has been intense. As a result of several studies, many techniques have been described, and a wide variety of filling materials have been suggested to enhance and accelerate bone regeneration. Such materials, known as graft materials, may be obtained from individuals themselves (autologous) or from an external source of natural or synthetic origin (heterogeneous), which can be used in ...

Trends in Recurrence of Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor

Ianculovici C, Blinder D and O Peleg

Article Type: Case Series | First Published: July 12, 2016

The recurrence rate of 112 cases of Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor (KCOT) were analyzed with regard to their location, size, locularity and treatment. 36 patients (32.1%) presented recurrence. Multilocular KCOT measuring more than 3.5 cm presented higher rate of recurrence. When the initial treatment was enucleation with peripheral ostectomy the recurrence was located in the periphery of the initial tumor. When the treatment was marsupialization followed by enucleation and peripheral ostectomy, ...

Late Diagnosis of CGCL in a Noonan Syndrome Patient

N AlAsseri and M AlSaeed

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: July 05, 2016

Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition with variable phenotypic expressions including short stature, distinct craniofacial features, congenital heart anomalies, and developmental delay. The main craniofacial features include hypertelorism with a downward slanting of the palpebral fissures, ptosis, low-set posteriorly rotated ears, deeply grooved philtrum and a high arched palate....
