Abstract

Unicysticameloblastomasare those cystic lesions that exhibitcharacteristics clinically and radiologically of a cyst from odontogenic originhistologically depictsan ameloblastomatous epithelium which lines part of the cyst cavity, with or without proliferation of luminal & mural tumor. These grow inside the jaw and cause displacement of the bone, teeth and their ischolar_mains. Sometimes they infiltrate the bone and spread into the soft tissue. Mostly seen in posterior mandible, but it may also arise in the maxilla and the jaws anteriorly. This is one of the rarevariants of the ameloblastoma. We report a case of unicystic ameloblastoma of maxillary region in a male patient of 35 years.

Keywords

Abstract

CAD/CAM means computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing. It is the technology concerned with the use of digital computers to perform certain function in design and manufacturing. CAD can be defined as the use of computer system to create, modify, analyze or optimize an engineering design. CAD/ CAM used for designing as well as controlling the manufacturing process. Reconstruction the craniofacial structure is difficult due to its complex anatomical structure, presence of vital structure adjacent to the affected part, chances of high infection. For any craniofacial reconstruction autograft is the gold standard. But use autografts have limitation such as large defect, chances of infection, additional surgeries, highly qualified team, donor site morbidity etc. But the CAD/CAM system focuses on 3D modeling which gives the surgeons the ability for precise preoperative planning and perform virtual resection of the defect and design the patient specific implants.

Abstract

Distraction osteogenesis is a widely accepted modern technique in the field of orthopaedic surgery. Ever since the first application of Ilizarov principles of distraction osteogenesis for mandibular bone reconstruction, several case reports, research findings, systematic reviews and subject reviews have been published. These published data focoused on the sequential development of the distraction osteogenesis technique, its practice, success rate and comfort to the congenital and acquired patients of mandibular deficiency and disorder as well. As on date the craniofacial surgeons, across the globe, prefer the distraction osetgenesis technique over conventional reconstructive surgery by bone graft. This paper attempts to review the scientific principles, protocols, indications, advantages, limitation and future scope of the mandibular distraction osteogenesis and the latest developments in the field.
