[Benign tumors of the mandible. The experience of reconstruction using immediate bone grafts]. / I tumori benigni della mandibola. Esperienza di ricostruzione mediante innesti ossei immediati.

The numerous benign pathologies of the mandible are considered, attention being focused on the large neoplasms that require full demolition and appropriate reconstructive surgery. Among the most frequent mandibular tumours, a clear-cut prevalence was noted for odontogenic tumours; on the subject of reconstructive therapy, on the other hand, stress is laid on the need for increasingly frequent use of immediate bone grafts for which the iliac bone provides the most available bone tissue both in terms of quantity and ease of access, modellability and tolerance.

[Osteoma of the frontal sinus. Remarks on a clinical case]. / Osteoma del seno frontale. Considerazioni su di un caso clinico.

A case of frontal osteoma observed at the Maxillofacial Surgery and Odontostomatology Division of the Miulli di Acquaviva delle Fonti (Ba) Regional Hospital, treated surgically by the creation of a bone passage in correspondence with the anterior wall of the sinus which is then reset and osteosynthesized, is reported. The technique adopted thus makes possible full visualisation of the neoformation and valid morphological and aesthetic recovery.
