Objective:To investigate the frequency of canine transmigration and transpositon in a subgroup of Turkish population. Material - Method: The panoramic radiograph [PR] of patients, aged 18-35 years, who received a PR for various reasons at the Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of Dentistry Dentomaxillofacial Radiology clinic between January 2017 and December 2017 were retrospectively examined in terms of canine transposition and transmigration. Patients' demographic data including age, gender, presence of the syndrome, the presence of transposed and transmigrant canine teeth, their number, location, unilateral or bilateral status, related pathologies and the positions in defined classifications were evaluated. Results: PR of 15511 patients were examined and 26 transposed canine in 24 [% 0.15] patients and 32 transmigrant canine in 31 [% 0.19] patients were detected. Both anomalies were generally seen unilaterally. Canine transposition were mostly observed in maxilla [%76.98] and females[% 65.38] whereas transmigration in mandible [% 59.38] and males[%53.12]. Maxillary canine-lateral transposition[ % 42.31] was the most seen transposition type. With the equal percentage of % 31.57 type 1 and 2 transmigration were the most seen types. Conclusion: Canine transposition and transmigration are a rare entity. In order to prevent the symptoms that may arise from these teeth, detailed clinical and specially radiographic examination and patient follow up is so important. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bisphosphonates are synthetic analogues of pyrophosphates used for the treatment of hypercalcemia in patients with malignancies and bone metastasis and for the treatment of multiple myeloma, bone resorption in the case of metastatic malignant diseases, and in the treatment of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates related osteonecrosis of the jaw cases accelarated at the end of 2003. Due to some medications, American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery modified the concept as medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in 2014. The aim of the present review was to analyze the etiology, clinical manifestations, risk factors, radiologic features and different treatment strategies of MRONJ. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Arthrocenthesis, which is used to treat temporomandibular joint disorders, is a low cost, minimal invasive procedure. In order to make this minimal invasive procedure less invasive, several methods and techniques are described in the literature in recent years. In the present article, our aim is to give answers to the following questions: "What are the advantages and disadvantages of these methods?"; ''What can be done to clarify the advantages and disadvantages?''

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a reactive exophyt-ic lesion occurring on the gingiva and alveolar ridge usually as a result of local irritating factors. PGCG is mostly located on the mandibular anterior region and it is frequently seen in 4-6 decades. PGCG is generally smaller than 2 cm, may cause mobility on related teeth and its clinical appearance looks like a liver. Surgical excision is the main treatment choice and recurrence occurs rarely. In this report a 18-year-old female patient's lesion, located on maxillary premolar-molar region and histo-pathologically diagnosed as PGCG is presented with its treatment and 20 months follow-up period. The case is unusual compared to the literature regarding its location and size. The aim of this case report is to show that, exophytic lesions which are seen in the oral and maxillofacial region may reach enormous dimensions if they are neglected by the patients or local irritating factors are not eliminated.
