Abstract

First described by Broca in 1886, Ameloblastoma is one of the most frequently encountered epithelial odontogenic benign tumour. The literature reports Mandible as the utmost favourable area of this tumour with approximately 80% of the cases involving this area. Histologically, an ameloblastoma can have six variations i.e, follicular, plexiform, basal, granular, desmoplastic and/or acanthomatous form. According to the 2005 World Health Organisation (WHO) classification the incidence of acanthomatous ameloblastoma is 7.06%. The acanthomatous type of ameloblastoma is deemed to be a rare and uncommon variation that mostly involves the mandible in 81% of the cases and maxilla in only 19% of the cases. In the maxilla, it is most commonly seen in the molar area, antral area and nasal floor with reported rate of occurrence being 47%, 33% and 9% respectively. The incidence in the canine are is only 9%. On the basis of previous studies, acanthomatous ameloblastoma is usually found in the geriatric population than in younger ones and is considered as an aggressive variant of ameloblastoma. Authors hereby present a case of acanthomatous ameloblastoma occurring in the anterior maxilla in a 36-year-old male patient presenting with painless swelling involving the left side of the anterior upper jaw managed with a conservative type of treatment. This type of presentation of the already rare acanthomatous ameloblastoma is extremely sporadic. Also, the occurrence of such a tumour in maxilla can significantly affect the progression and prognosis of such tumours because of the anatomical and histopathological differences in the maxilla and mandible and their densities, thereby further influencing the management and follow-up.

Abstract

Lower third molar extraction is one of the most common surgical procedure performed in oral surgery but despite the surgical skills and expertise, complications are likely. These can be pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, fracture of adjacent tooth and nerve damage et cetra. One of the most essential armamentarium necessary for removal of impacted third molar is a handpiece with a bur used for removal of bone surrounding the tooth or odontectomy. This is usually done using a straight motor driven handpiece rotating at an approximate speed of 30,000 RPM. However, because of the low speed and torque the time taken in extraction can increase significantly making the procedure hectic and fatiguing for the patient a well as the surgeon. Air turbine handpiece is a precision device which can be used for removal of tooth tissue with reasonably less pressure, heat or vibration thus making the cutting facile, less demanding and less time consuming. However, the fear of Subcutaneous emphysema associated with it’s use due to expulsion if air from the air turbine limit it’s use. Although rare, iatrogenic subcutaneous emphysema can have grave and potentially life-threatening consequences.

Abstract

Chronic subdural hematoma is a common condition of the neurosurgical department requiring surgical intervention. This is a retrospective study of Fifty cases of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) patients treated at SGT Medical College, Hospital, and Research Institute were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into three groups based on the surgical technique performed: single bur-hole drainage (group A, n=40), double bur-hole drainage (group B, n=5), or craniostomy[Twist drill] with evacuation of hematoma (group C, n=5). The results of this study shows that craniostomy[Twist drill] with the evacuation of hematoma in CSDH patients significantly reduced the risk of recurrence, regardless of the number of burr holes used. We, therefore, recommend the use of craniostomy[Twist drill] with the evacuation of hematoma in CSDH patients.
