RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In orofacial cleft deformity cases, bone grafting is a very essential step in reconstruction of the residual alveolar cleft defect. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Though various authors have put forth different techniques and graft sources for alveolar bone grafting, at our center, we have used iliac crest as the graft source and cortical bone graft with GTR membrane as "ceiling effect". RESULTS: We have evaluated a series of cases of secondary alveolar bone grafting done with this technique by same surgeon at our center and have found great success. CONCLUSION: In this clinical paper, we describe our surgical technique and also the key points from surgeons experience to ensure a better result.
RESUMO
A mucous cyst is a lesion which can show a wide range of symptoms but is benign and most of them can even appear several months or even years after nasal surgeries. Size of the displaced epithelial fragment is a crucial factor for the development of the mucous cyst. Complete resection of the mucous cyst is the ideal treatment. Surfing through the literature we came across 18 cases of mucous cyst formation following nasal surgery. Here we describe a mucous cyst which had resulted from a rhinoplasty procedure the patient had undergone earlier in her life.
