Item Central plexiform ameeloblastoma with exophytic growth a rare case report with review of literature.(2010-04) Shetty, Raghavendra M; Rath, Sujata; Iyer, Vidya; Shetty, SunainaAmeloblastomas are predominantly benign, intra-osseous odontogenic tumors and mucosal involvement is a rare secondary phenomenon, occurring only after a long period of intra-osseous growth and bone expansion. This article presents a case report of an eleven year old male patient with a large plexiform ameloblastoma which invaded the soft tissues, presented as an exophytic growth in the mandibular anterior region with radiographic feature of a large unilocular radiolucenc y and displaced mandibular left central incisor. The management comprised of surgical removal of ameloblastoma under local anesthesia along with extraction of displaced mandibular left central incisor.Item Impaction of the maxillary central incisor associated with supernumerary tooth: Surgical and orthodontic treatment.(2011-01) Shetty, Raghavendra M; Dixit, Uma; Reddy, Hanumanth; Shivaprakash, P K; Kaur, BhavneetImpaction of maxillary permanent incisor is not a frequently case in dental practice, but its treatment is challenging because of its importance to facial esthetics. Supernumerary teeth are the main cause of impaction of upper incisor. Supernumerary teeth when present can cause both esthetic and pathologic problems. Supernumerary teeth in the maxillary midline are common. Early detection of such teeth is most important if complications are to be avoided. We report a case of 12 year old male with an impacted supernumerary tooth in the maxillary anterior region, which was interfering with the eruption of the permanent, left central incisor. The impacted supernumerary tooth was surgically removed. With the application of an orthodontic traction, impacted left maxillary central incisor was brought down to its proper position in the dental arch.Item Peri Apical Endodontic Surgery - Two Year Follow Up: A Case Report.(2010-07) Kumar, Arvind; Shetty, Raghavendra MThe endodontic treatment of necrotic anterior teeth after trauma remains complicated because of divergent root walls, thin dentinal walls and frequent lesions. The surgical endodontic treatment of teeth are well documented which are characterized by necrosis and infection in the presence of older fibrous and extensive lesion. The purpose of this paper is to report a two year follow up of a twelve years old patient whose tooth was treated for periapical lesion of endodontic origin by surgical endodontic procedure.
