Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma of the jaws. Clinicopathologic presentation and prognostic factors.

30 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma is a rare form of squamous cell carcinoma, arising within the jaws. OBJECTIVE: To clarify the clinicopathologic and behavioral spectrum of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma. DESIGN: ... Read more...

Interpositional osteotomy for posterior mandible ridge augmentation.

30 Oct 2009 This report reviewed the published data concerning different methods for vertical augmentation of the posterior mandible for implant placement. The main purpose was to compare and contrast the different treatment methods, with a more detailed review ... Read more...

The anatomic structure of the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle in the third molar region.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The arrangement of the structures within the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle has not been clearly defined. Because this could be of importance in surgery involving the inferior alveolar canal, a study was undertaken. MATERIALS AND ... Read more...
