Material and method: The critical study “The tragic notebook of Emmanuel Roides”, written by K. G. Kassinis, was studied in detail, to find out how the road traffic accident was happened, the consequences of Emmanuel Roides’s injury, as well as its management.
Results: On July 27, 1885 Emmanuel Roides was hit by two carriages in such a way that passing the wheel of one carriage above his head caused a maxillary fracture. Doctors engaged in the surgical management and his overall care were general surgeons as well as a dentist.
Conclusions: Emmanuel Roides’s case enriches our knowledge about management of maxillofacial injuries in Athens towards the end of the 19th century, bringing forward the timeless problem of road traffic accidents and road safety, as basic etiological factors of viscerocranium fractures.

Material and Methods: Six adult minipigs were included in the study. The minipigs were housed individually at the institute animal facility 4 weeks before surgery. Bone marrow cells were harvested from adult minipig 3 weeks before the operation. The cells isolated by centrifugation were expanded in CO 2 incubators to the number required for the procedure. Prior to surgery the animals were premedicated and received anaesthesia. Minipig received bilateral maxillary sinus augmentation. Through an extraoral approach, a window 1×1 cm was cut into the bony facial sinus wall, and the antral membrane was elevated from the sinus floor. The SSC/HA was placed into the right maxillary sinus, while HA alone was placed in the left maxillary sinus as a control. At the same time a titanium implant was inserted in each sinus from a laterocaudal direction. Radiography were taken every 2 weeks. Minipigs were euthanized at two time points after 8 and after 12 weeks. The maxillae were removed and a block session of each sinus was fixed to be histologically and histomorphometrically studied. Results: The use of SSC seemed to increase the quantity of newly formed bone. Conclusions: The addition of stromal stem cells could, probably, be a useful tool to improve the results in sinus augmentation procedures.

The system is an intellectual expert product for difficult differential diag-nostics of salivary glands diseases. The analysis of the results of following researches can be made: anamnesis, concomitant diseases, local changes, clinical, biochemical and immunological blood tests, sonography, sialometry, citological examination of salivary glands secretion, review radiography, sialography, scinti-graphy, computed tomography, biopsy of the minor salivary glands. Using this programme any doctor will be able to make a presumptive diagnosis, to get the algorithm of the examination, to form the final clinical diagnosis. The program is a data base. We discovered a high accuracy of using the program in practice. Conclusion. Created automated system of differential diagnostics of salivary glands diseases may be an effective instrument to support medical decisions. Receiving some scientific information may improve the program. The idea of the program may be a basis for similar intellectual expert products in other medical fields.

The patient stated that the mass, which had been in that location for 3 months, had been gradually increasing in size. Otherwise, it had been entirely asymptomatic. The patient decided to seek medical attention because of the large size of the lesion. The past medical history of the patient was remarkable for diet-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. The family history was noncontributory. The patient denied smoking or drinking and she had no allergies. The patient's systemic medications included nifedipine 20 mg orally once a day. Physical examination revealed a frail woman in no acute distress. The patient denied any recent weight loss. Extraorally, a large mass measuring approximately 6 ϫ 5 cm was observed in the left preauricular region (Fig 1). The mass was firm, nonpulsatile, and fixed to the surrounding tissues. No audible bruit was detected, and there was no tenderness to palpation. The overlying skin was normal. Examination of the neck revealed torticollis, with torsion of the neck on the right side. There was no lymphadenopathy or thyroid enlargement. The cranial nerves II through XII were intact. Intraorally, the patient was noted to be eden

Objectives: Surgical approach for excision of dermoid cysts presenting on the floor of the mouth ... more Objectives: Surgical approach for excision of dermoid cysts presenting on the floor of the mouth usually depends on the localization of the lesion in relation to anatomic structures (above or below the mylohyoid muscle), its dimensions, and the need for good cosmetic and functional results. Intraoral surgical excision is considered as a reliable treatment modality even in cases of large sublingual dermoid cysts. Material and Methods: A 19-year-old female patient complaining of a large swelling involving both the sublingual and submental spaces, underwent an enucleation of a large midline dermoid cyst located on the floor of the mouth and lying above the mylohyoid muscle, using an intraoral approach. The lesion had been present since her birth, and started gradually enlarging the last three years. The intraoral approach was decided due to patient's unwillingness to take general anaesthesia and for the sake of cosmetic appearance. Results: The lesion was excised completely without perforation of the cyst wall. Recovery was uneventful except for modest oedema in the immediate postoperative period. Conclusion: The intraoral approach can be utilized for the removal of large dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth, provided that the lesion is non-infected and located above the mylohyoid muscle.

“Lip Shave” Technique: Literature Review and Case Presentation

Several methods of treatment have been proposed, like electrosurgery and excision of the actinic damage via laser treatment. However, all methods have limitations. On the other hand, the surgical technique known as “lip shave”, achieves complete removal of the lesion, and promotes the reconstruction of the vermilion border. Case presentation: A 65-years old patient was referred to our Department for treatment of a lesion extended to the whole lower lip, diagnosed as actinic cheilitis after partial biopsy and histopathological examination. Under local anesthesia the outlined lesion was entirely excised, while the lip is was firmly immobilised with the thumb. After the mucosa was first elevated by sharp dissection from one corner, it was then conveniently removed by curved, pointed scissors down to the muscular layer. After securing haemostasis, three “key sutures” were first placed, in order to achieve an even symmetrical closure. The final closure of the wound was achieved with continuous locking suture. Conclusion: The "lip shave" is a non-deforming plastic and reconstructive procedure of great value for prophylaxis and treatment of lip cancer, and for cosmetic correction of certain congenital, neoplastic, and traumatic lip deformities.

Dental infections have occasionally been reported as the source of bacteria for such an abcess. Patient and methods: A 54-year-old man was admitted with a right hemiparesis and epileptic fits. After clinical, laboratory and imaging examination, the diagnosis of a cerebral abscess of the left parietal lobe was made. The intraoral clinical examination as well as a panoramic radiograph confirmed the presence of generalized periodontal disease, multiple dental caries, and periapical pathology. The treatment included: (i) Immediate administration of high-dose intravenous antibiotics and (ii) surgical procedures consisting of craniotomy and resection of the abscess cavity first, and secondly removal of the periodontal, decayed and periapically involved teeth of the patient, in an effort to eradicate all the possible septic foci, presuming the cerebral abscess to be of odontogenic infection. Results: The patient made an uneventful recovery, and 29 months postoperatively he had completely recovered from the hemiparesis.
