RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Anterior displacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc is a disorder in which the articular disc is dislocated from its correct position relative to the mandibular condyle and mandibular fossa. Traditionally, the initial treatment of disc displacements involves various conservative measures, including the use of a stabilizing interocclusal splint. However, in cases where there is associated limited mouth opening, as in the case of anterior disc displacement with reduction and intermittent block (ADDwRIB), and anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDw/oR), arthrocentesis has been suggested as another modality of initial treatment due to its faster effect in preventing disease progression to a more advanced stage, as well as reducing the chances of pain chronification and central sensitization. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze whether there is a preponderance in efficacy between treatments with a stabilizing interocclusal splint or arthrocentesis in these patients. METHODS: A randomized, prospective, longitudinal clinical trial was conducted. The sample was obtained by convenience, between June 2021 and January 2023. Twenty-four patients with diagnoses of ADDwRIB and ADDw/oR were included. The diagnosis and clinical evaluations followed the DC/TMD criteria, and TMJ MRI was performed. Patients were randomly allocated to 2 treatment groups. Group 1 (n = 13): stabilizing interocclusal splint. Group 2 (n = 11): arthrocentesis. Patients were evaluated after 1, 2, 3, and 6 months for clinical parameters of pain, functionality, and psychosocial status. RESULTS: Both treatments were effective in reducing pain levels, with no statistically significant differences. Group 1 showed significantly greater mouth-opening levels compared to Group 2 (P = .041). CONCLUSION: Both groups showed significant improvements in various parameters evaluated throughout the study, indicating they are equally effective in pain control and most functional and quality of life parameters. However, the stabilizing interocclusal splint treatment was superior in restoring mouth opening.

Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare disease characterized by cartilaginous metaplasia of the mesenchymal remnants of the synovial membrane with formation of loose cartilaginous nodules. It is prevalent in middle-aged women and the main clinical characteristics are swelling, pain, and limited jaw movements. Diagnosis is difficult, especially in the early stages, because the signs and symptoms are like other TMJ diseases such as internal derangements and tumors. Imaging exams are fundamental in differential diagnosis for detection of synovitis and free cartilaginous bodies. Magnetic resonance imaging with a gadolinium contrast would be of particular interest for this purpose. Treatment involves the removal of the cartilaginous nodules and synovectomy. It can be performed by arthroscopy or arthrotomy depending on the size of the lesion, the number of corpuscles, and the need for auxiliary surgical procedures. Final diagnosis is anatomopathologic. Postoperative follow-up is necessary due to the risk of recurrence.

An ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a benign mixed odontogenic tumor that mainly affects patients in the first and second decades of life. It is usually associated with an impacted tooth, commonly the first or second permanent molar. We present a case of an 11-year-old male patient diagnosed with AF, showing well-defined borders almost completely affecting the body and inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) branch on the right side of the mandible and displacing teeth 46 and 47 associated with the lesion. The treatment included conservative surgery, with oral rehabilitation, including IAN lateralization, implant placement without sensorial alteration, and posterior rehabilitation, performed after 10 years of follow-up. Rehabilitation with implants is a safe and effective procedure for the prosthetic rehabilitation of the posterior atrophic mandible. However, sensorial alteration of the IAN occurs in 100% of cases and tends to regress with time or may be permanent in few cases.
RESUMEN
Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumor and are generally asymptomatic. The purpose of this paper was to describe the case of a complex odontoma in a patient who had asymptomatic swelling in the central maxillary region, along with unerupted central and lateral incisors. In this case, surgical excision of the lesion was performed and an iliac bone graft was introduced into the defect area with a titanium mesh covering up the grafted harvesting bone. After 2 years of followup, no recurrence was identified. Patient followup is still in progress to evaluate bone graft resorption, and the patient awaits complete bone development. Oral rehabilitation with an osseointegrated titanium implant is expected in the future. An option of the large complex odontoma treatment is discussed.

Odontomas are odontogenic tumors that usually present as benign lesions. They are easily diagnosed and affect individuals in their first and second decades of life. In most cases, odontomas are asymptomatic and the presence could be suspected due to the delay in tooth eruption or via routine radiographic examinations. Treatment of choice has been surgical removal of the lesion, and prognosis is usually favorable because of its benign characteristics and rare recurrence. The purpose of this study is to report the case of a complex odontoma in a child impacting a permanent molar and preventing its eruption. The lesion was surgically removed, and the eruption of the permanent mandibular left second molar tooth occurred after 5 months. Clinical, radiographic, and histopathological characteristics were studied in this case.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is to review the literature regarding the topical use of the retinoids in the treatment of oral leukoplakia, discussing their mechanisms of action, indications, effectiveness, and adverse effects. DISCUSSION: Leukoplakia is defined as white lesion in oral mucous membrane that cannot be characterized as any other entity and it has potential for malignancy. It does not present specific histological pattern. Due to its potential for malignancy and high prevalence, dentists should know how to diagnose and treat it correctly. The retinoids are chemopreventive agents derived from the vitamin A. They could be either natural or synthetic and their main role is to suppress cellular mitosis. Retinoid derivatives have been used as agents for chemoprevention of malignant transformation of leukoplakias due to its potential effect on the control of the differentiation and proliferation of the epithelial cells, as well as their induction of apoptosis. CONCLUSION: The topical use of retinoids to treat oral leukoplakia is safe, convenient and effective, with minor side effects than the systemic administration.
OBJETIVO: A proposta deste artigo é revisar a literatura referente ao uso de retinoides no tratamento de lecoplasiasbucais e discutir o mecanismo de ação, indicações, efetividade e efeitos adversos. DISCUSSÃO: Leucoplasia é definida como lesão branca na mucosa bucal que não pode ser caracterizada como qualquer outra entidade e tem potencial de malignização. Não apresenta padrão histológico específico e, por causa de seu potencial de malignização e alta prevalência, os cirurgiões-dentistas devem conhecer como diagnosticá-la e tratá-la corretamente. Os retinoidestêm sido usados como agentes quimio-profiláticos para a transformação maligna das leucoplasias por seu efeito potencial no controle da diferenciação e proliferação da células epiteliais, bem como capazes de indução de apoptose. CONCLUSÃO: O uso tópico de retinoides para tratar leucoplasias é seguro, conveniente e efetivo, com efeitos colaterais menores do que na administração sistêmica.
