Tissue engineering perspectives in dentistry: review of the literature
ABSTRACT Tooth losses due to pathological processes continue to be a reality in daily clinical dentistry, inducing functional and psychological complications in patients. In view of this, a new option for the management of this problem - tissue engineering - has been studied in Dentistry. This field, considered multidisciplinary, uses three key elements for tissue regeneration: scaffolds (extracellular matrices) - natural or synthetic; cells, and growth factors. In this sense, combination of these three elements may induce regeneration of the dental pulp, bone and periodontal tissue, among others. Therefore, the aim of thi...

Ewing’s Sarcoma: imaging findings of a patient with primary tumor in the femur and mandibular metastasis
ABSTRACT Ewing ’ s Sarcoma, a common primary bone malignancy that usually occurs in childhood and young adults, has a predilection for males and occurs mostly in the diaphysis of long bones and pelvis. This tumor rarely affects the head and neck. Histologically, this neoplasm is a small round cell tumor and there is evidence of a neuroectodermal origin. Radiographic findings of ES show an osteolytic lesion, that is not a pathognomonic feature for this neoplasm. The association of conventional imaging methods such radiography, Computed Tomograph (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), combined with scintigraphy or Positro...

Glycogenic acanthosis on mouth clinically present as white plaque
We report a white lesion showing glycogenic acanthosis-like features located on the left posterolateral border of the tongue, affecting a 56-year-old male patient. The medical history was non-contributory and the patient did not show any lesions during endoscopic examination of the oesophagus, stomach, and upper duodenum. Glycogenic acanthosis is a benign condition, which should be included in the differential diagnosis when assessing oral white lesions. It is important also to recognize this benign condition early and rule out the possibility of other more severe diseases, but further studies were necessary for better def...

Cranioplasty using Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) self-curing by the conventional casting process: clinical case report
ABSTRACT Cranioencephalic trauma which results in extensive edema and / or bruising usually requires surgical treatment through a greater withdrawal of the bone portion. Thus, the absence of bone tissue implies the lack of protection of the brain tissue or even compromises the esthetics especially when located in the frontal or frontoparietal region. The purpose of this case report is to describe a treatment option for head trauma, through the prefabricated part by obtaining the skull model. These bone faults can be reconstructed either by the direct method using polymethylmethacrylate directly on the defects or by means o...
