Primary sarcomas of the major salivary glands are rare and appear to originate from undifferentiated pluripotential mesenchymal cells. They must be distinguished from malignant supporting tissue neopl...

An osteoma is a slow-growing, benign lesion comprising mature bone tissue. Osteomas rarely occur in maxillary bones, with the exception of the maxillary sinuses. Various possible etiologies have been ...

Objectives: Sufficient closure of intraoral defects can be challenging. Various methods of tissue transfer have been presented in the literature. From skin grafts to microvascular flaps, most techniqu...

Background: Osteochondroma at the level of the coronoid process is unusual, causing a slowly progressive facial asymmetry and limitation of mouth opening. Histologically, it is a bone tumor covered by...

Objectives: Identifying risk factors for dental trauma in children is important. The main aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the association between maxillary incisor trauma (MIT) and ...
