Delarue M, Perez C, Lucidarme Q, Bornert F. Management of a solitary bone cyst using a custom-made surgical guide for a minimally invasive approach: technical note and case report. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:560. [PMID: 38745168 PMCID: PMC11092003 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04308-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Solitary Bone Cyst (SBC), also known as a simple bone cyst, hemorrhagic cyst, or traumatic cyst is classified by the WHO among non-odontogenic benign lesions of the jaw. The article explores the use of a static 3D-printed surgical guide to treat mandibular SBC, emphasizing a minimally surgical approach for this lesion. CASE PRESENTATION A 20-year-old woman was referred for a persistent mandibular SBC lacuna, without specific complaints. Her medical history included a previous bone trepanation for a SBC in the same area, radiologically and surgically confirmed. X-ray assessment showed a well-defined unilocular radiolucency surrounding the root of the first left lower molar (tooth #36), measuring 10 × 10 mm. Pulp sensitivity was normal. CBCT data and STL files of dental cast were obtained preoperatively and registered. A 3D-printed surgical guide was used for minimally invasive trepanation of the buccal cortical. The simulation used a targeted endodontic microsurgery approach in order to determine axis and diameter of the trephine. Surgery was performed under local anesthesia. The guide was tooth supported integrating tubes and a fork for guiding precise trepanation. A 3.5 mm round bone window was created, leaving an empty cavity confirming SBC diagnosis and permitting bone curettage. A blood clot was obtained to promote bone healing. Complete reossification was observed after 6 months. The follow-up at 2 years confirmed a complete bone healing with normal pulp sensitivity. DISCUSSION The 3D-printed windowed surgical guide with dental support offers big advantages, including improved visibility and reduced errors. Compared to traditional guides, it eliminates visual hindrance and allows easier and quick access to confined areas as well as an improved irrigation during drilling process. The article also highlights the importance of preoperative planning while acknowledging potential limitations and errors and surgical complications. CONCLUSION The use of the 3D-printed surgical guide could be used in routine for minimally invasive intervention of SBC. This case also demonstrates the potential utility of this approach in various procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The technique provides precise localization, reducing complications and enhances operative efficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the discrimination power of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for cystic lesions in the jaw using MRI. METHODS We selected 127 cystic lesions, comprising dentigerous cysts (DCs), odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs), and unicystic ameloblastomas (UABs), from our MRI database examined by 3T MRI, including diffusion-weighted imaging sequences, and we reviewed their imaging characteristics. We attempted to discriminate the three types of lesions by ADC values with receiver operator characteristic analysis; however, satisfactory results were not obtained for differentiation between DC and OKC. Therefore, we performed a decision tree analysis. RESULTS The imaging characteristics of the lesions were significantly different according to Fisher's exact test, except for differences in sex. The ADC values statistically discriminated the lesions of DC and UAB, OKC and UAB, but not DC and OKC. Thus, differentiation was performed by a decision tree for DC and OKC by evaluating the following points: the attached tooth condition, signal intensity on the T1 weighted image (T1SI), ADC value, and the cyst site. However, cases showing hypo- or isointense T1SI with an ADC value under 1.168 × 10-3 mm2/s were difficult to differentiate. CONCLUSION The ADC value helped distinguish UAB from both DC and OKC, but not DC from OKC. However, the decision tree based on ADC value, tooth contact status, and T1SI helped differentiate DC and OKC to some extent.

Abstract
AbstractAmeloblastoma is the most common benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin. It exhibits a locally aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate with multitude of factors involving in its molecular pathogenesis. This article reports a case of acanthomatous ameloblastoma involving the mandible in a 60-year-old male patient with peculiar imaging characteristics. The role of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis of conventional ameloblastoma has been elaborately emphasized in the discussion. Although the final diagnosis is based on histopathological features, physicians should be aware of the role of advanced imaging for diagnosis of ameloblastoma and for better surgical management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of Hounsfield unit (HU) assessment with multislice-CT in the differentiation of radicular cysts (RCs), dentigerous cysts (DCs) and odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs). METHODS In total, 307 odontogenic cysts (RCs, DCs and OKCs) were included in this study. Cysts with lesion diameter <10 mm, cysts with artefacts affecting measurement of HU values, cysts involving infection and recurrent cysts were regarded as exclusion criteria. Images were acquired in three different types of CT scanners: Aquilion ONE, Discovery CT750 HD and SOMATOM Definition Flash. Differences in HU values among scanners and among types of odontogenic cysts were assessed using one-way analysis of variance; multiple comparisons were performed post hoc, using the Tukey-Kramer honestly significant difference test. RESULTS In total, 164 cysts were analysed in this study (64 RCs, 57 DCs and 43 OKCs). Regardless of the type of lesion, the Aquilion ONE scanner demonstrated a significant difference in HU value, compared with the Discovery CT750 HD scanner. Regardless of CT scanner model, HU values significantly differed between DCs and OKCs (p < 0.0001), as well as between OKCs and RCs (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS HU values were found to vary among CT scanners and should always be associated with other lesion imaging features while interpreting and elaboration diagnostic hypothesis. Notably, the results suggested that OKCs might be able to be differentiated from DCs and RCs by using HU values.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in comparison with morphologic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating among odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), unicystic ameloblastoma (UAB), and dentigerous cyst (DC). STUDY DESIGN Contrast-enhanced MRI, including DWI, was performed on 27 patients with the 3 lesions. Signal intensity characteristics were evaluated on T1- and T2-weighted MRI. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) cutoff value to most effectively differentiate among the 3 lesions was calculated with receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS In total, 17 OKCs, 5 UABs, and 5 DCs were diagnosed histologically. There were no significant differences among them in signal intensity on T1- or T2-weighted images (P ≥ .13). On DWI, 14 of 17 OKCs showed restricted diffusion with a mean ADC value of 0.954 × 10-3 mm2/s. All 5 UABs and all 5 DCs exhibited facilitated diffusion with ADC values ≥ 2.150 × 10-3 mm2/s. The ADC cutoff to differentiate OKCs from UABs was 2.137 × 10-3 mm2/s (P = .01); UABs from DCs was 2.422 × 10-3 mm2/s (P = .03); and OKCs from DCs was 2.347 × 10-3 mm2/s (P = .01). CONCLUSIONS Addition of diffusion-weighted sequences to MRI jaw protocols can assist in the characterization of OKCs, UABs, and DCs.

Abstract
We report herein a case of a luminal and intramural unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) with a marked fluid-fluid level. The validity of imaging findings in diagnosing UA in the present case is discussed in reference to the literature. The patient was a 50-year-old woman who presented with swelling of the gingiva in the region of the left mandibular third molar and numbness in the lower lip. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large mass lesion with a unilocular appearance and a biphasic aspect, suggesting liquid content. Contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) demonstrated that the biphasic aspect indicated a fluid-fluid level with no blood pooling/flow; it also revealed a thick rim-enhanced margin with mural protrusion. Postoperatively, the lesion was histopathologically diagnosed as a luminal and intramural UA. In conclusion, extensive imaging including both standard CT and MRI together with CE-MRI and DCE-MRI allowed mural protrusions or nodules on a thick cystic wall and liquid content to be correctly identified. This suggests that such imaging can play an important role in diagnosing a UA, even though the results were at first misleading due to the marked fluid-fluid level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Third molars often require surgical removal. Since three-dimensional radiological assessment is often indicated in difficult cases to avoid surgical complications, the radiation burden has to be considered. Here, MRI may offer a dose-free alternative to conventional X-ray techniques. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the assessment quality of MRI compared to panoramic radiography in impacted and partially impacted lower third molars. METHODS Panoramic radiographs and MRI scans of 28 Caucasian patients were assessed twice by four investigators. Wisdom teeth were classified according to Juodzbalys and Daugela 2013. RESULTS When radiological lower third molar assessments with panoramic radiography and MRI were compared, staging concurred in 73% in the first round of assessments and 77% in the second. CONCLUSIONS The presented study demonstrates that MRI not only provides much the same information that panoramic radiography usually does, but also has the advantages of a dose-free three-dimensional view. This may facilitate and shorten third molar surgery. Image interpretation, however, can differ depending on training and experience.
