Effect of the use of platelets: Rich plasma (PRP) on periapical bone repair following Apicectomy on a sample of patients from the middle area in Syria
International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences22 - September - 2019
Purpose: To efficacy evaluation of using platelets rich plasma (PRP) on bone healing after eradication of maxillofacial cysts. Materials and Methods: 30 peak lesion cases that achieved on 28 patients. The sample was randomly divided into two groups. Group I: Practice plasma rich platlets on 14 patients after extraction of cyst lesion. Group II: Extracted of cyst lesion for 14 patients without adding plasma rich platlets. Cases were clinically and radio graphically follow-up after 3, 6 and 9 months. Results: PRP group showed bone reconstruction faster than the control group. There are statistical differences between groups in 1, 3, 6 and 9 months after surgery for management with PRP. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that using platelets rich plasma (PRP) provide bone reconstruction faster and better after eradication of maxillofacial cysts.
SUPERNUMERARY FOURTH MOLARS: A CASE REPORT
International Journal of Recent Scientific Research5 - April - 2019
The purpose of this article is to report the case of the Supernumerary forth molar, which located on the left ramus. A 36-year-old male presented with pain and swelling on the left side of his face for three weeks. Then he was referred to our oral surgery department at Hama University. In our patient's history, he had no syndrome and no familial history. Whit radiological examination, panoramic radiograph showed that the lower left fourth molar located on the left ramus. Pain and swelling were controlled. Antibiotic and physiotherapy were started before surgery. The Supernumerary forth molar was retrieved under general anesthesia. Intraoral surgical approach was made to extract the forth molar. The follow up period was 6 months after surgery.
Giant cell tumors in temporomandibular joint region involving lateral skull base: A literature review
International Journal of Medical and Health Research5 - April - 2019
Purpose: To review the literature associated with giant cell tumors in temporomandibular joint and lateral skull base region.Materials and Methods: A review of the literature was performed to record the tumor location, patient’s personal data, and extentof resection, radiotherapy, recurrence, clinical features, and Follow-up.Results: Nine articles were identified and reviewed in the presented study. The most common clinical symptoms in GCTs in the TMJ-SB region were malocclusion and restriction of mouth opening, other symptoms such as persistent headache and hypoacusis also were not rare because of skeletal invasion of the skull base and ears. Skull base GCTs occur most commonly in young adults with an equal sex distribution. The total removal of gaint cell tumors in TMJ without adjuvant radiotherapy is the most effective treatment for localized disease.

International Journal of Recent Scientific Research13 - February - 2018
Airway management in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery, the surgeon needs to control the dental occlusion and nasal pyramid assessment. For these reasons, oral and nasal endotracheal intubations are contraindicated. Tracheostomy often has perioperative and postoperative complications. Submental orotracheal intubation is now a recognized method of airway control during maxillofacial surgery. It provides a secure airway and does not interfere with maxilla mandibular fixation or access to naso- orbito - ethmoid fractures.
Cancer stem cells in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences27 - September - 2017
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cancer cells that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. CSCs are therefore tumorigenic. The existence of CSCs is under debate and the origin of CSCs is an active research area. CSCs may generate tumors through the stem cell processes of self-renewal and differentiation into multiple cell types. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). So, development of specific therapies targeted at CSCs holds hope for improvement of survival and quality of life of cancer patients, especially for patients with metastatic disease like (HNSCC).

International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences8 - March - 2017
Purpose: To review the literature associated with new bone formation in the maxillary sinus elevation using peripheral venous blood alone. Materials and Methods: A review of the literature was performed to record the study reference, design study, sinus lift method, number of patients, number of implants, follow up, bone gain and Perforation of sinus. A PubMed search was made from 2007 to 2017 with keywords: “sinus lift”, “Peripheral Venous Blood”, “new bone” and “maxillary sinus elevation”. Results: 11 articles were identified and reviewed. The Lateral Window method was followed in all the studied publications.

Ectopic third molar in the mandibular jaw: Literature review
International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences5 - March - 2017
Purpose: To review the literature associated with ectopic third molar in the mandibular jaw. Materials and Methods: A review of the literature was performed to record the Position of the ectopic tooth, patient’s personal data, and Surgical choice. Results: 32 articles were identified and reviewed in the presented study, ectopic third molars were generally located in the condylar region, Sigmoid notch, Coronoid region, ramus, Angulus. In our literature review showed more cases of ectopic third molars located in the condylar region than in the ramus or coronoid. There were higher prevalence in women and fourth decades of life were the most common time for this mishap to occur. Different methods of recovery were used. Conclusion: The results of this review suggest that ectopic teeth must be removed if they cause symptoms. The surgical route should be designed according to the location and position of the third molar.
