ABSTRACT The traumatic bone cyst is an uncommon nonneoplastic lesion of the jaws that is considered as a "pseudocyst" because of the lack of an epithelial lining. This lesion is particularly asymptomatic and, therefore, is diagnosed by routine dental radiographic examination as a unilocular radiolucency with scalloped borders, mainly in the posterior mandibular region. The exact etiopathogenesis of the lesion remains uncertain, though it is often associated with trauma. The objective of this paper is to report one case of atypical traumatic bone cyst involving impacted lower third molar, addressing its clinical and radiographic characteristics, differential diagnosis, treatment through surgical exploration and case follow-up.
RESUMO O cisto ósseo traumático é uma lesão não neoplásica incomum dos maxilares, considerada um "pseudocisto" devido à ausência de um revestimento epitelial. Esta lesão é particularmente assintomática e, portanto, é diagnosticada pelo exame radiográfico odontológico de rotina como uma radioluscência unilocular com bordas recortadas, principalmente na região mandibular posterior. A etiopatogenia exata da lesão permanece incerta, embora esteja frequentemente associada a trauma. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso de cisto ósseo traumático atípico envolvendo terceiro molar inferior impactado abordando suas características clínicas, radiográficas, diagnóstico diferencial, tratamento por meio de exploração cirúrgica e proservação do caso.

Abstract Objective The present study aimed to investigate the participation of focal adhesion kinases (FAK) in interactions between osteoblastic cells and titanium (Ti) surfaces with three different topographies, namely, untreated (US), microstructured (MS), and nanostructured (NS). Methodology Osteoblasts harvested from the calvarial bones of 3-day-old rats were cultured on US, MS and NS discs in the presence of PF-573228 (FAK inhibitor) to evaluate osteoblastic differentiation. After 24 h, we evaluated osteoblast morphology and vinculin expression, and on day 10, the following parameters: gene expression of osteoblastic markers and integrin signaling components, FAK protein expression and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. A smooth surface, porosities at the microscale level, and nanocavities were observed in US, MS, and NS, respectively. Results FAK inhibition decreased the number of filopodia in cells grown on US and MS compared with that in NS. FAK inhibition decreased the gene expression of Alp, bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin, and ALP activity in cells grown on all evaluated surfaces. FAK inhibition did not affect the gene expression of Fak, integrin alpha 1 ( Itga1 ) and integrin beta 1 ( Itgb1 ) in cells grown on MS, increased the gene expression of Fak in cells grown on NS, and increased the gene expression of Itga1 and Itgb1 in cells grown on US and NS. Moreover, FAK protein expression decreased in cells cultured on US but increased in cells cultured on MS and NS after FAK inhibition; no difference in the expression of vinculin was observed among cells grown on all surfaces. Conclusions Our data demonstrate the relevance of FAK in the interactions between osteoblastic cells and Ti surfaces regardless of surface topography. Nanotopography positively regulated FAK expression and integrin signaling pathway components during osteoblast differentiation. In this context, the development of Ti surfaces with the ability to upregulate FAK activity could positively impact the process of implant osseointegration.

Abstract Cell therapy associated with guided bone regeneration (GBR) can be used to treat bone defects under challenging conditions such as osteoporosis. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in combination with a poly(vinylidene-trifluoroethylene)/barium titanate (PVDF-TrFE/BT) membrane on bone repair in osteoporotic rats. Osteoporosis was induced in female rats by bilateral removal of the ovaries (OVX) or sham surgery (SHAM), and the osteoporotic condition was characterized after 5 months by microtomographic and morphometric analyses. Calvarial defects were created in osteoporotic rats that immediately received the PVDF-TrFE/BT membrane. After 2 weeks, bone marrow-derived MSCs from healthy rats, characterized by the expression of surface markers using flow cytometry, or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (Control) were injected into the defects and bone formation was evaluated 4 weeks post-injection by microtomographic, morphometric, and histological analyses. A reduction in the amount of bone tissue in the femurs of OVX compared with SHAM rats confirmed the osteoporotic condition of the experimental model. More bone formation was observed when the defects were injected with MSCs compared to that with PBS. The modification that we are proposing in this study for the classical GBR approach where cells are locally injected after a membrane implantation may be a promising therapeutic strategy to increase bone formation under osteoporotic condition.

Anquilose da ATM pode ser definida como impedimento da excursão normal da mandíbula por comprometimento da articulação ou de suas adjacências. Ela pode ocorrer por sequela de várias patologias, porém tem como principais fatores causais o trauma e a infecção. O seu diagnóstico é feito com base nos exames clínicos e de imagens. Não existe consenso na literatura quanto ao melhor tratamento para a correção da anquilose. Numa revisão, as modalidades de tratamento comumente encontradas são a artoplastia simples, a artroplastia interposicional e a excisão e reconstrução da articulação. Nas reconstruções da ATM com enxerto autógeno, a preferência cabe ao enxerto costocondral devido ao seu potencial de crescimento e remodelação em pacientes juvenis e ao baixo índice de morbidade nos pacientes adultos. Este trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma breve revisão da literatura e relatar um caso de anquilose em uma criança tratada com enxerto autógeno costocondral. O tratamento se mostrou eficaz em relação à máxima abertura de boca pós-operatória, ausência de recidiva e boa função da articulação.
Ankylosis of the TMJ may be defined as the prevention of normal mandibular excursion due to the involvement of the joint or its surrounding structures. It may be a sequela of various diseases, but the main causal factors are trauma and infection. The diagnosis is based on clinical and imaging examinations. There is no consensus in the literature on the best treatment for the correction of ankylosis. In a review, the most commonly mentioned types of treatment are simple arthroplasty, interpositional arthroplasty, and excision and reconstruction of the joint. In the reconstruction of the TMJ with an autogenous graft, the preferred graft is the costochondral one because of its potential for growth and remodeling in juvenile patients and low morbidity in adult patients.The aim of this paper is to briefly review the literature and report a case of ankylosis in a child treated with an autogenous costochondral graft.The treatment proved effective for maximum mouth opening after surgery; there was no recurrence and good functionality of the joint was achieved.
