Unusually Pronounced and Expansive Mandibular Foramen. A Incidental Radiological Finding

SUMMARY: The mandibular foramen and its canal are one of the most important structures in the skull, as they solely supply the mandible through their associated nerves and vessels. Many anatomical variations have been reported in the literature until now, and this case report represents a clear-cut appearance of its shape in a panoramic radiograph, which is not mostly seen in normal panoramic radiographs. These factors are of utmost importance when it comes to performing various surgeries and preventing complications due to their varied anatomy, which will allow dentists to create a better treatment plan and provide better treatments without any complications.

El foramen mandibular y su canal son algunas de las estructuras más importantes del cráneo y cara, ya que a través de ellos la mandíbula es inervada por nervios e irrigada por vasos. Hasta ahora, en la literatura consultada, se han informado de numerosas variaciones anatómicas. En este trabajo reportamos la forma y trayecto del foramen y canal mandibular, obtenidos en una radiografía panorámica, que no es observada normalmente en este tipo de radiografía. Los factores anatómicos son de importancia a la hora de realizar las cirugías para prevenir complicaciones debido a su variada anatomía, permitiendo a los odontólogos crear un mejor plan de tratamiento sin ningún tipo de complicaciones.

Endodontic Treatment in a Patient with Hemophilia A: Case Report with Literature Review.

Hemophilia comprises a group of hereditary disorders caused due to the defi ciency of one or more clotting factors leading to prolonged clotting time and excessive bleeding tendencies. It is broadly divided into Hemophilia A, B and C which occur due to defi ciency of factors VIII, IX or XI (F VIII, F IX, F XI) respectively. Hemophilia A is an X linked recessive hereditary disorder and is the most common of the three, accounting for 80-85% of the cases. Understanding this complex entity is very important for a dentist to provide appropriate dental treatment and to avoid undesirable consequences. Th e aim of this article is to report a case of Hemophilia A with literature review highlighting the importance of restorative treatment in salvaging the teeth and preventing complications anticipated from the surgical procedures.
