ABSTRACT Aim The present report describes and discusses a nonsurgical technique for the removal of overextended gutta-percha. Background Mechanical irritation results from overextension and the overextended material used during root canal obturation could produce an inflammatory reaction with an area of rarefaction in the periapical tissues. The healing process is not affected by the presence of filling materials as it is well tolerate by the periapical tissues, but it is accepted that a higher failure rate is found in overfilled teeth. Case report This clinical report describes one case with an overextended gutta-percha cone and a new nonsurgical technique to remove this material. Conclusion The technique described is a conservative, safe and plausible option to remove extruded gutta-percha in periapical area. Clinical significance Overextended gutta-percha cones could increase the failure of endodontic therapy. Commonly surgical procedures are indicated to remove this overextended material, but this nonsurgical technique could be a better treatment alternative and could increase the chances of success.

Long Term Follow Up

Advances in periodontal plastic surgical procedures have led to achieve predictable root coverage outcomes for the recession defects. However, little has been reported and emphasised over management of palatal recession defects. The root coverage surgical procedures used for coverage of palatal recession defect are technically challenging in terms of accessibility and graft coverage. The purpose of this report is to describe a surgical technique used to manage deep-wide palatal recession defect. The technique uses partly deepithelialised palatal graft that is designed to approximately fit the defect site. This is employed for prolonged protection of the underlying healing process. This case report is unique in terms of treatment of deep (9.0 mm), wide (6.0 mm) palatal recession defect and its long-term follow-up for 18 months.

Implant Treatment

Aesthetic implant treatment in the maxillary anterior area can be challenging, especially in case of insufficient bone volume. In this clinical report, a guided bone regeneration procedure using the combination of xenograft and allograft with non-resorbable membrane was applied in the atrophic edentulous alveolar crest to reconstruct a proper implant bed. Moreover, Prosthetic tissue molding was performed to improve success and optimize aesthetics. This article provides information rele- vant to treatment plans, surgical procedures, and prosthetic management in aesthetically important areas.

Histological Data

The aim of the present study is to assess the clinical and histological healing of a post-extractive alveolus following the procedure for socket preservation, in a patient receiving oral bisphosphonates for more than 6 years. After the extraction, enzymatically-deantigenated horse bone granules and an equine pericardium membrane were used to preserve the tooth socket. The patient was placed on a monthly follow-up in order to monitor the healing process. A 3 mm trephine bur was used to drill the bone for implant site preparation and to collect the bone sample. No signs and symptoms related to osteonecrosis of the jaws were reported. Histological data showed that, after 5 months, the mean percentages of trabecular bone, bone marrow and residual bone graft were respectively 45.74 ± 0.09%, 48.09 ± 0.08%, and 6.16 ± 0.01%. The residual graft material appeared to be osteointegrated and none of the particles appeared to be encapsulated. The present case report supports the guidelines that assume that patients undergoing oral bisphosphonate therapy can be eligible for surgical therapy. More clinical studies with larger sample sizes are needed to support this clinical evidence.

We describe a case of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome (UZS) in a healthy 56-year-old woman who underwent femtosecond-assisted phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in both eyes. One month after an uneventful postoperative course in the left eye, the right eye was operated. Dilated pupil which was nonreactive to light appeared on day 21 postoperatively. This was discovered upon examination following anterior chamber inflammatory reaction which occurred 2 weeks following her surgery. Our case report emphasizes the importance and danger in developing UZS even if the reaction in the anterior chamber does not occur immediately after surgery. In addition, the importance of intraocular pressure follow-up in the period after UZS is acknowledged.

Histopathological Results

Most reported cases of middle ear adenoma (MEA) have focused on histopathology because MEA is usually diagnosed postoperatively, which is considered as a major setback. We focused on the surgical aspect of the disease to facilitate a preoperative diagnosis, resulting in prompt and proper treatment, without requiring a second stage of surgical treatment. In this report, we present the differential diagnoses in a 40-year-old man with MEA requiring surgical treatment. Preoperatively, the patient was suspected to have an MEA. An analysis of the surgical procedures in similar misdiagnosed tumors has enabled us to assess surgical procedures in cases wherein the preoperative diagnosis does not coincide with the postoperative histopathological results.

Abstract Background Esophagotracheal perforation is a very severe complication. However, an esophagotracheal perforation caused due to an esophageal stent after anastomotic leakage after ivor-lewis resection, is even more complex and associated with high mortality. Therefore we present a case how we managed a high esophagotracheal perforation and anastomotic leakage after ivor-lewis resection of esophageal cancer, prior treated with neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy. Methods Case report A 71-year old patient was transferred to our center due to an esophagotracheal perforation at the proximal stent—and at 18–20 cm from the front teeth row. The stent had been placed due to anastomotic leakage after ivor-lewis resection. The patient's history began with a squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, treated with neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy and followed by ivor-lewis esophagectomy. She developed an anastomotic leakage, which was treated with an esophageal stent. This stent perforated and caused a fistula between the esophagus and the trachea. Results After transfer to our center, we performed a tracheotomia with a tubus blocked, distal of the esophagotracheal fistula, to prevent a respiratory insufficiency. We removed the dislocated stent and induced an endosponge therapy. A prolonged healing process lead to a step-by-step decrease of the anastomotic leakage. Finally, the semicircular hole could be supplied by a fibrin sealant. We resected the fistula via cervical surgery and placed a pectoralis muscle flap between trachea and esophagus. The surgery was performed under steady neuromonitoring control. The postoperative course was uncomplicated. The patient could be extubated with spontaneous breathing. Eleven days after surgery, the patient could be discharged fully enteralised. The stomach interponate could be kept. Half a year later, our patient shows up in our regular consultation, reporting no dysphagia. Conclusion Our experience with endosponge treatment suggests that this is the first choice for successful healing of anastomotic leakage after ivor-lewis resection. A stenting of the esophagus after finding an anastomotic leakage can be considered, but is associated with a risk of further complication.

Although congenital anomalies of the peroneal muscles have been well documented from anatomical studies, only a single clinically symptomatic case has been previously reported. In the present report, a previously unreported variation of the peroneus brevis, a bifid peroneus brevis, is described. This variation contributed to chronic subluxation of the peroneal tendons. Diagnosis was made at the time of operation, and resection of the duplicated tendon and reinforcement of the peroneal retinaculum relieved the symptoms of the patient.
