Case Reports in Surgery
|December 25, 2018
Summary
This case report details a rare cementoblastoma, a benign tumor, found in the maxillary sinus. Surgical removal was successful, with no recurrence after one year, highlighting effective treatment for this unusual dental tumor.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Cementoblastoma is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor.
- It originates from neoplastic cementoblasts and affects tooth roots.
Observation:
- A 22-year-old male presented with an incidental finding of a radiopaque mass in the left maxillary sinus.
- CT revealed a 15x10mm mass associated with an impacted third molar.
- Clinical and medical history were unremarkable.
Findings:
- Surgical excision via an intraoral approach under general anesthesia was performed.
- Histopathological examination confirmed a cementoblastoma with cementum-like tissue and cementoblasts.
- One-year follow-up showed no signs of recurrence or symptoms.
Implications:
- This case highlights the successful surgical management of a maxillary sinus cementoblastoma.
- Early detection through routine radiography is crucial for timely intervention.
- Complete surgical removal ensures favorable prognosis and prevents recurrence.

01:54Molar Mass
86.7K
The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains but by the quantity of each type of atom or ion. For example, water, H2O, and hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, are alike in that their respective molecules are composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. However, because a hydrogen peroxide molecule contains two oxygen atoms, as opposed to the water molecule, which has only one, the two substances exhibit very different properties.

03:43Applications of the Ideal Gas Law: Molar Mass, Density, and Volume
63.4K
The volume occupied by one mole of a substance is its molar volume. The ideal gas law, PV = nRT, suggests that the volume of a given quantity of gas and the number of moles in a given volume of gas vary with changes in pressure and temperature. At standard temperature and pressure, or STP (273.15 K and 1 atm), one mole of an ideal gas (regardless of its identity) has a volume of about 22.4 L — this is referred to as the standard molar volume.

Social psychologists analyze how groups influence one another, shaping social structures and interactions through both cooperation and competition. These dynamics manifest in various ways, ranging from economic partnerships to intergroup conflicts that shape societal structures and perceptions.Cooperation and Competition in Intergroup RelationsIntergroup relationships vary across contexts, sometimes fostering cooperation and mutual benefit while at other times leading to conflict and...

826
Arrhythmias are disturbances in the heart's rhythm that lead to abnormal heartbeats. These irregularities can originate from different parts of the heart and are classified based on their origin and nature.
Types of Arrhythmias
Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...

498
Impact occurs when two bodies collide, leading to the application of impulsive forces between them. Analyzing impact mechanics involves considering two colliding particles moving along a line known as the line of impact, which passes through their centers and is perpendicular to the contact plane.
When particles with different initial velocities collide, they induce deformation by applying equal and opposite impulses. At the point of maximum deformation, the particles move together with...

Groups play a fundamental role in shaping individual behavior, as they establish norms that guide interactions and decision-making. Social psychology examines how individuals conform to group expectations, often adjusting their attitudes and actions to align with group norms. These norms can be formal, such as workplace policies, or informal, such as unspoken social expectations within a fraternity.Conformity and Social InfluenceConformity arises when individuals modify their behaviors or...
