White patches in the oral cavity that do not resolve on their own must be biopsied. In this case, patient with no risk factors presented with a thick white plaque along the left lateral tongue border of unknown duration. Lesion had no ulceration, no induration and was completely asymptomatic. Excisional biopsy completed confirmed mild to moderate dysplasia. She will be seen at regular 4-6 month intervals with new pictures to monitor for recurrence. If left untreated, this could transition into malignancy.

Good job to her dentist Dr. Iannucci at for the prompt referral. 👏🏻👏🏻

Exposure and bonding of an impacted canine. A CBCT scan greatly helps in localization of the tooth which not only assists during surgery but also helps the orthodontist visualize the location of the tooth and help w force application and vector control. We work closely with orthodontists and provide them with intra-operative pictures and CBCT scans to assist them in treatment.

Impacted canines are a common referral from our orthodontist colleagues. With careful planning and communication with the orthodontist we are able to expedite the orthodontic treatment and help bring the impacted canine into the arch.

We offer 3D CBCT imaging which helps with localization of the impacted canine, rule out ankylosis and help with the surgical approach. Intra-operative pictures are sent to the orthodontist as well to help show the location of the impacted canine which will help them with the vector of traction and estimate the treatment time.

These are minimally invasive surgeries that can be done either under local anesthesia or if you prefer to be asleep, under deep IV sedation.

Management of recurrent odontogenic keratocyst from the left posterior mandible and ramus. Lesion was removed initially in another country in 2011 and incidental radiolucent lesion noted on panorex in 2024. No biopsy report was available.

Upon excision of lesion, keratin like substance was noted in the lesion suspicious for OKC. After excision, peripheral ostectomy was completed along with application of 5-Fluorouracil cream to help reduce recurrence rate.

The ribbon gauze was removed in 24hours and the incision closed w 3.0 Cytoplast suture

Management of a large left floor of mouth. Lesion was decompressed with a tube until it resolved with formation of scar tissue. I typically use a sterile piece of IV administration tubing and suture that into the cavity of the lesion for several months. However, given the location, the tube may easily get dislodged with function and replacement is necessary. For smaller lesions, I may not place a tube but i find the tube really helps maintain adequate opening into the lesion for drainage.

Impacted ankylosed wisdom tooth 38 caused severe periodontal bone loss at the distal aspect of tooth 37 which was distally tilted, and in occlusion with the opposing wisdom tooth 28.

Clinically there was >8mm pockets around tooth 37 on the buccal and distal aspects with bleeding upon probing.

Given the compromised periodontal status of tooth 37, and since patient was not interested in orthodontic treatment, teeth 28, and 37 were extracted along with coronectomy of tooth 38.

This could have been prevented with extraction of wisdom teeth as a teenager and early orthodontic intervention.

Large dentigerous cyst causing severe expansion which pushed out the patient’s denture that led her to seek treatment. Intentional coronectomy completed along with cyst excision. At 5 months you can appreciate ossification of defect. I typically do not graft these defects as they ossify nicely on their own.
