Abstract Introduction The endoscopic access to lesions in the anterolateral wall of the maxillary sinus is a challenging issue; therefore, the evaluation of access should be performed. Objective To assess the accessibility of three endoscopic ipsilateral endonasal corridors. Methods Three corridors were created in each of the 30 maxillary sinuses from 19 head cadavers. Accessing the anterolateral wall of the maxillary sinus was documented with a straight stereotactic navigator probe at the level of the nasal floor and of the axilla of the inferior turbinate. Results At level of the nasal floor, the prelacrimal approach, the modified endoscopic Denker approach, and the endoscopic Denker approach allowed mean radial access to the anterolateral maxillary sinus wall of 42.6 ± 7.3 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 39.9–45.3), 56.0 ± 6.1 (95%CI: 53.7–58.3), and 60.1 ± 6.2 (95%CI: 57.8–62.4), respectively. Furthermore, these approaches provided more lateral access to the maxillary sinus at the level of the axilla of the inferior turbinate, with mean radial access of 45.8 ± 6.9 (95%CI: 43.3–48.4) for the prelacrimal approach, 59.8 ± 4.7 (95% CI:58.1–61.6) for the modified endoscopic Denker approach, and 63.6 ± 5.5 (95%CI: 61.6–65.7) for the endoscopic Denker approach. The mean radial access in each corridor, either at the level of the nasal floor or the axilla of the inferior turbinate, showed a statistically significant difference in all comparison approaches (p < 0.05). Conclusions The prelacrimal approach provided a narrow radial access, which allows access to anteromedial lesions of the maxillary sinus, whereas the modified endoscopic Denker and the endoscopic Denker approaches provided more lateral radial access and improved operational feasibility on far anterolateral maxillary sinus lesions.

Objective Complete skeletal and dental reconstruction of the anterior maxilla is of great importance to patients with cleft lip and palate. Accordingly, osseo-integrated implants have been utilized for dental reconstruction after secondary bone grafting. In this report, the orthodontic management of a patient with unilateral cleft lip and plate with associated hypodontia is described. The patient was treated with comprehensive orthodontic treatment in addition to secondary bone grafting, and dental reconstruction was achieved with a combination of osseo-integrated implants and fixed prosthodontic treatment.

Abstract Endosseous implants are the treatment of choice for restoring function and reconstructing most edentulous areas of the maxilla and mandible. In general, alveolar bone defects can be reconstructed by either distraction osteogenesis or autogenous bone grafting. After alveolar reconstruction, endosseous implants are used to support and retain the prosthesis for restoration of form and function. Eighty-two consecutive patients requiring alveolar augmentation prior to implant placement were evaluated. All patients were given treatment options for reconstructing their alveolar defects, which included autogenous bone grafting vs distraction osteogenesis. Sixty-five patients received autogenous grafts (anterior iliac crest: 44; retromolar: 17; tibia: 2; chin: 2), and 17 patients underwent distraction osteogenesis prior to implant placement. A total of 184 implants were placed in the autogenous bone-grafted sites and 56 implants in the distracted bone sites. Implants placed in sites restored with autogenous bone grafts had an implant success rate of 97% (178/184), whereas implants placed in distracted bone sites had a success rate of 98% (55/56). In the autogenous grafted group, 3 implants failed in the posterior mandible, one in the anterior maxilla, one in the anterior mandible, and one in the posterior maxilla. In the distraction group, one implant failed in the posterior mandible. Both techniques are associated with good success rates. There was no statistical difference between implant success in autogenous bone vs distracted bone sites in this group of patients.

Objectives: To characterize the radiographic features of maxillary ameloblastoma (AM), odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and dentigerous cyst (DC) comparatively by using spiral CT and cone beam CT (CBCT). Methods: Clinical records, histopathological reports, and nonenhanced spiral CT or CBCT images of 191 consecutive patients with primary maxillary AMs, OKCs, or DCs were retrospectively acquired, and radiographic features were analyzed. Results: The study included 118 males and 73 females (age: 5–84 years). 72.0% of AMs and 84.3% of OKCs originated from the posterior maxilla, while 69.6% of DCs occurred in the anterior maxilla. Among 25 AMs, 44.0% were of desmoplastic type, with honey-combed appearance. 84.0% of AMs were circular or oval in shape, 84.0% expanded buccally, and 36.0% invade the nasal floor. Among 89 OKCs of 88 patients, 61.8% were circular or oval, 58.4% expanded buccally, 49.4% were dentigerous, 41.6% nearly filled the maxillary sinus, and 13.5% invaded the nasal floor. 93.7% (74/79) of DCs enveloped a single tooth, and the tooth–cyst relationship was centripetal in 35, eccentric in 30, and circumferential in 9. Moreover, 98.2% (55/56) of the cysts enveloping a supernumerary tooth were DCs, while 80.9% (38/47) of the cysts enveloping the third molar were OKCs. Conclusions: Maxillary AMs tend to grow with buccal expansion and invade the nasal floor, and DAs with honey-combed lobularity are common. Maxillary OKCs have variant shapes and tend to invaginate the maxillary sinus. The tooth–cyst relationship of dentigerous OKCs and DCs can be centripetal, eccentric, or circumferential.

Cystic lesions of the jaw are a common occurrence. We present a case of a large unilocular cystic lesion in maxilla associated with an impacted tooth, impinging on the nasal floor. The uniqueness of the case is the high probability of a dual pathology; a cystic pathology associated with the impacted tooth (likely dentigerous cyst) and a large radicular cyst involving the apices of teeth from 21 to 26. The patient presented with a rare finding of a palatal swelling rather than a buccal swelling associated with cystic lesions involving maxillary posterior teeth. Enucleation of the cyst and extraction of the impacted tooth were performed, no other teeth were extracted. The report describes the treatment and follow up of the patient.
