Although usually detected due to symptoms such as nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, and nasal bleeding, an ectopic tooth in the maxillary sinus can sometimes be revealed incidentally on radiographic examination. Here, we report a case of simultaneous extraction of a dental implant that had migrated to the maxillary sinus and removal of an ectopic tooth that had arisen in the same location. The patient was a 73-year-old man who had received the implant to replace the first left maxillary molar at a local dental office. The implant had subsequently migrated to the left maxillary sinus and the patient was referred to us for its removal. On locating the implant on a CT scan at our hospital, an ectopic tooth was also observed at the base of the maxillary sinus. With patient consent, the decision was made to remove the ectopic tooth and extract the implant simultaneously. Excision of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus allowed easy extraction of the implant. The ectopic tooth was removed by slightly expanding a fenestration in the sinus wall. Ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus are sometimes put on follow-up if asymptomatic. Removal should be considered, however, if there is a risk of it becoming infected due to implantation-induced inflammation.","PeriodicalId":45490,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College","volume":"56 4 1","pages":"253-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2209/tdcpublication.56.253","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68186889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection, therefore, is an important issue in the treatment of this disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate expression of cytokeratin 13 (CK13), CK17, Ki-67 and p53 as potential markers of tongue SCC. Five areas in 12 specimens were examined: the upper and lower layers of normal epithelium; those of dysplastic epithelial tissue surrounding the cancerous lesion; and the lesion itself. Strong expression of each of the following mRNAs and proteins was observed; CK13 in upper layers of normal epithelium; Ki-67 and p53 in lower layers of normal epithelium; CK13 and CK17 in upper layer of epithelial dysplasia; and CK17, Ki-67, and p53 in lower layer of epithelial dysplasia and cancerous lesions. These results indicate that the characteristic pattern of expression of CK13 and CK17 differs between normal and dysplastic oral epithelium. Oral epithelial dysplasia adjacent to OSCC has high malignant potential, and is similar to early-stage OSCC. This suggests that evaluation of these markers could be a useful secondary procedure for improving detection of early-stage OSCC.","PeriodicalId":45490,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College","volume":"56 4 1","pages":"223-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2209/tdcpublication.56.223","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68187279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to determine which MR parameters were appropriate for static imaging of the anatomical structures involved in swallowing. MR imaging was carried out, and T1-weighted, T2-weighted and proton-density-weighted MR images were obtained in the sagittal plane in 5 healthy volunteers.

Differences in clarity among 3 imaging modalities were evaluated. A 3-point score rating system was used.

The components and antibacterial activity of FG in the brown or transparent tightly sealed containers were not affected by temperature or fluorescent light throughout the 4 week test. However, in the loosely sealed containers, formaldehyde and guaiacol in FG sample decreased remarkably within one week, not only in a temperature- and time-dependent manner, but also under fluorescent light at 20 degrees C. Furthermore, the antibacterial activities in the FG sample were significantly attenuated in parallel with the decrease in formaldehyde levels. Fluorescent light caused color changes and crystallization of FG samples in the transparent containers. These results suggest that it is important to replace fresh FG every 5 to 7 days for endodontic treatment and that, in the dental office, it is advisable to store fresh FG in tightly sealed containers every 2 weeks to maintain its efficacy.","PeriodicalId":45490,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College","volume":"43 2 1","pages":"61-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2002-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68186766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
