REVIEW
Y Basch
MIH was defined by Weerheijm (2001) as hypomineralisation of systemic origin of 1-4 permanent first molars, frequently associated with affected incisors. The diagnostic criteria include the presence of demarcated opacity, posteruptive enamel breakdown, atypical restoration, extracted molar due to MIH and unerupted teeth. The etiologies are divided into five groups: Exposure to environmental contaminants, pre/peri and Neonatal problems, exposure to fluoride, common childhood illnesses and medically compromised children...

REVIEW
S Balaban, A Shuster, I Kaplan, B Shlomi
Osteomyelitis (OM), is a rare disease in developed countries. It is defined as a progressive inflammation of the bone and the bone marrow, and characterized by formation of necrotic bone. This disease is more common in the lower jaw, which resembles the structure of a long bone. However, there are histologic and microbiologic characteristics that constitute important factors in the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease and therefore it is not possible to make an analogy from OM of long bones to OM of the jaws...

Edentulous patients with advanced resorption of the mandible (atrophic mandible) suffer major discomfort when using dentures. Furthermore, placing dental implants is impossible due to lack of sufficient bone volume. In the past, several methods of bone grafting to the anterior mandible have been proposed. Most of them were unpredictable in either the short or long-term. In 2002 a technique for bone grafting of the anterior mandible via a submental approach was published. A wide reflection of the soft tissue was followed by implant placement...

REVIEW
D Shoshani-Dror, D Shilo, O Emodi, A Rachmiel
Impacted wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt and many times the first to be extracted. Unlike the teeth erupting earlier in life, eruption of wisdom teeth is often accompanied by pain, difficulty in mastication, dysphagia and acute pericoronitis which require systemic medication and surgical removal. Wisdom teeth extraction is a relativelycommon procedure in oral surgery. However, the surgical procedure itself is not devoid of complications, particularly those of deep- impacted, full-bony teeth or severely-angulated teeth...

Loss of the premaxilla is a rare event while treating patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate. Its resection is no longer an acceptable method of treatment in modern practice. Nowadays, most cases of premaxillary loss are secondary to treatment and manipulation of the premaxilla, and not due to intentional resection. In the following case presentation we present the treatment of a seven years old boy, presented to our institution after being treated for bilateral cleft lip and palate by resection of the premaxilla...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
W Abboud, A Hirschorn, R Yahalom
Arthroscopy means Looking into a joint and is derived from the Greek words Arthros, which means Joint and Scopien, which means To view. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure aimed at diagnosis and treatment of intra-articular joint disorders. Arthroscopy of the temporomandibular joint was first described in 1974, and since then has become an acceptable therapeutic modality for various joint pathologies. During a 6-year period (April 2010 to January 2016), two hundred and two patients have been treated by arthroscopy in our department...

Orthognathic surgeries in which mobilization of the maxilla is required, are common procedures in the treatment of skeletal and developmental facial abnormalities. The Le fort I osteotomy is currently a safe, reliable and predictable procedure granting the surgeon good visualization and approach. However, these surgeries often involve substantial post operative swelling and pain, mostly due to the relatively extensive size of the mucoperiosteal approach flap. Several techniques have been previously reported in the literature, describing alternative approaches and novel instruments in an effort to reduce the intraoperative and postoperative challenges and complications of current surgical modalities...

The first modern dental institutes were established in Europe and in the USA during the 1840s. At that period there wasn't a single qualified doctor in Palestine, not to mention a professional dentist. A couple of decades later, as the number of Christian pilgrims grew, some modern hospitals were established and a few non-Jewish dentists opened their clinics in Jerusalem, which was then and in the following decades, the region's largest city. In Europe, dentistry became a popular profession among Jews in general and among Jewish women in particular...

Although most dental and periodontal diseases are caused by bacteria, the usual therapy is mechanical/surgical rather than antimicrobial medications. However, sometimes antibiotic administration may be necessary in addition to or as an alternative to the surgical/mechanical treatment. Many studies have shown that the misuse of antibiotics by dentists may be mostly attributed to unnecessity or inefficient regimen, and could contribute to bacterial resistance to antibiotics. The article presents practical guidelines to the administration of antibiotics in the dental office...

Caries and periodontal disease are the most common pathologies encountered by general dental practitioners on a daily basis. Although less frequently, the oral cavity is also affected by a plethora of pathologic lesions that may represent either a local process or may be a manifestation of systemic conditions. The etiology of these lesions is diverse and ranges from congenital/ developmental, reactive, to neoplastic (benign and malignant), metabolic and hereditary. These lesions are expected to be recognized by the dental clinicians whose main concern would be to achieve a prompt and accurate microscopic diagnosis...

Type 2 Diabetes is a non-curable multi system disease that affect around 9% of the world population. Therefore, the incidence for the general dentist to come across a diabetic patient is very high. The medical treatment in diabetes is graded according to the severity of the disease. In the last decade new drugs and treatment modalities were developed. The implication of diabetes and its complications in the oral cavity are significant. Beside the emergency events that might take place in a diabetic patient, one must take under consideration the influence of the dental treatment on the glycemic control and vis-a-vis the influence of the glycemic control on the oral tissue health and response for treatment...

The oral cavity-body relationships are bi-directional: oral diseases affect the welfare and health of the individual, while diseases and conditions of organs and tissues in the human body affect oral health. The global policy of the World Health Organization is to improve oral health in the 21st century as an integral part of promoting our general health. During the recent years the knowledge of the dental profession has grown exponentially and widened its fields of interest and this has led to impressive advances at both clinical and research levels...
