Dental technician pneumoconiosis mimicking lung cancer.
Authors: Uyar M, Sokucu O, Sanli M, Filiz A, Ali Ikidag M, Feridun Isik A, Bakir K Abstract A 47-year-old man was referred for assessment of bilateral lymph node enlargement identified on a routine chest radiograph. Positron emission tomography showed high standardized uptake values (SUVmax: 20.5) in right supraclavicular, right intercostal, and multiple mediastinal lymph nodes. Biopsy samples obtained from the right upper and left lower paratracheal nodes by mediastinoscopy revealed granulomatous inflammation. Clinical and laboratory findings indicated a diagnosis of dental technician pneumoconiosis. The patient is alive and well 3 years after diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of obtaining an occupational history. (J Oral Sci 57, 269-271, 2015). PMID: 26369493 [P…

Eight-year follow-up of autogenous tooth transplantation involving multidisciplinary treatment.
Authors: Candeiro GT, A Alencar-Júnior E, C Scarparo H, H C Furtado-Júnior J, Gavini G, L Caldeira C Abstract Although autogenous tooth transplantation is a widely reported procedure, its success is dependent on a number of factors. Here we describe the surgical technique, endodontic treatment and rehabilitation employed for a patient in whom a lower right third molar was transplanted to substitute an adjacent second molar with extensive caries. During an 8-year follow-up period, normal periodontal healing was observed and no infection, ankylosis or progressive resorption occurred. It may be concluded that transplantation of a third molar is a practicable approach for replacement of a lost permanent tooth, with restoration of esthetics and function.
