Abstract

Ameloblastoma is the second most common odontogenic tumor of the oral cavity with the primary site being the mandible. It affects more the mandible than the maxilla. The most common complaint is a painless swelling over the mandibular area. Despite its benign nature, ameloblastoma has a high local recurrence rate, with the most recurrences seen within 5 years after operation. Biopsy and radiological evaluation is mandatory. Although this tumor is benign, because of its behavior it is locally aggressive and requires the most often surgical resection. In our case, a male 36-year old reported with ameloblastoma crossing the mid- line. Ameloblastoma was confirmed on radiographic and biopsy report. The lesions crossing the mid-line made the reconstruction more challenging. As taking into consideration the advantages of free fibula flap, our reconstruction was planned using the same flap.

Abstract

Inflammation starts and progresses because of biofilm, which is thought to be a main etiologic agent. Restoring the health status of periodontal tissues involves reducing the bacterial burden in periodontal pockets. The use of antibiotics as an adjuvant treatment is necessary in some circumstances, such as aggressive periodontitis, to get rid of harmful bacteria that have deeply penetrated the connective tissue and may later colonise the root surface and cause the illness to return. Penicillin was the first antibiotic historically used to treat periodontal disease and was taken systemically. Amoxicillin was later employed due of its impact on a number of important periodontal bacteria.

In conclusion, despite a number of disadvantages, the use of antibiotics continues to be the most common and successful addition to mechanical periodontal therapy. However, these medications' undeniable drawbacks and restrictions cause the allure of using them to start to wear off. Based on a deeper understanding of the nature and aetiology of periodontal illnesses, this necessitates the search for new complementary treatments of periodontal therapy.Penicillin was the first antibiotic historically used to treat periodontal disease and was taken systemically.
