A Rare Case of Nasopalatine Duct Cyst Diagnosed 7 Years After Secondary Bone Grafting in a Patient With Cleft Lip and Palate.

Secondary autogenous particulate cancellous bone and marrow grafting (SBG) is a reliable and established technique for patients with alveolar cleft. Some reports have described complications after SBG, but cyst formation in alveolar bone where SBG has been performed appears to be extremely rare. Herein, we report a rare case of a cyst forming at a grafted site 5 years after SBG.

Retrospective Analysis of Surgical Site Infection After Titanium Plate Removal Following Orthognathic Surgery.

This study aimed to investigate associations between surgical site infection (SSI) and plate removal following orthognathic surgery. The study sample consisted of 191 patients (126 females, 65 males). Plate removal was performed in 174 patients with a mean age of 26.

Activation of fibroblasts by plasma cells via PDGF/PDGFR signaling in IgG4-related sialadenitis.

IgG4-related sialadenitis (IgG4-SA) is one of the IgG4-related disease. The histological features of IgG4-SA include dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates and fibrosis. This study aimed to reveal the involvement of plasma cells in the development of fibrosis and the mechanism underlying fibrosis in IgG4-SA.

Factors influencing delayed referral of oral cancer patients from family dentists to the core hospital.

Background/purpose: Most oral cancer (OC) cases are identified by family dentists in Japan. However, a significant number of patients with OC in Japan are referred to core hospitals at advanced stages. Therefore, identifying the factors that contribute to delayed referrals from family dentists to core hospitals is crucial for detecting OC in its earlier stages.

Analgesic effect of a lidocaine-ropivacaine mixture for extraction of impacted mandibular third molars: a randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: The painless postoperative period can be significantly prolonged by using long-acting local anesthetics such as ropivacaine, though these local anesthetics are known for their slower onset of action. To compensate for this, a mixture of short-onset (e.g.

Sensory Neurons in the Human Geniculate Ganglion.

The geniculate ganglion (GG) contains visceral and somatic sensory neurons of the facial nerve. In this study, the number and cell size of sensory neurons in the human GG were investigated. The estimated number of GG neurons ranged from 1,580 to 2,561 (mean ± SD = 1,960 ± 364.

Distribution of CGRP and TRPV2 in Human Paranasal Sinuses.

Immunohistochemistry for protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 2 (TRPV2) was performed on human paranasal sinuses.
