Abstract
PURPOSE General consensus has been reached on extracting mandibular third molars when they are involved in pathologic processes. However, early extraction is advisable in cases of eruption disturbances of the mandibular second molar, before or during orthodontic treatment. METHODS Thirty-two patients with early extraction of the mandibular third molar before or during orthodontic treatment were examined. RESULTS In these cases either the presence of the third molar presented an obstacle in the eruption path of the second, or third molar germ removal was considered beneficial to the course of orthodontic treatment. CONCLUSIONS Early extraction of the mandibular third molar facilitates the eruption of the second molar, especially in cases where evidence of crowding and lack of space in the posterior mandibular region exist. Orthodontic treatment may, in some cases, aggravate eruption disturbances of the second molar.

Abstract
Submersion occurs when a previously erupted tooth becomes embedded in the oral tissues. The purpose of this paper is to examine the distribution, the degree of re-impaction, the rate of congenital absence of the successor buds and the treatment in 28 submerged teeth in 17 patients.

Abstract
Metastases to the jaws and oral soft tissues are rare. A case of breast angiosarcoma metastatic to the mandible and the gingiva, bilaterally in the premolar area is presented. The clinical, histological features and the management of the metastatic oral lesions are reported. Our case emphasises the possibility that in patients with history of breast angiosarcoma, oral inflammatory-like lesions may be an indication of a metastatic deposit.

Abstract
Bleeding from the external auditory canal following head trauma is not unusual. It can be caused by a posterior dislocation of the mandibular condyle associated with a fracture of the tympanic bone. Although posterior dislocation is uncommon, it is the second most frequent complication after antero-medial displacement of the condyle. We report four cases of tympanic plate fracture and present CT images demonstrating the range of injuries seen.

Abstract
Although the sphenoid sinuses can be identified in sections of the fetus at 4 months, at birth the sinus remains small and is little more than an evagination of the sphenoethmoid recess. After the 3rd year, invasion of the sphenoid bone is more rapid, and by the age of 7, the sinus has extended posteriorly to the level of the sella turcica. By the age of 12, the sphenoid pneumatization reaches its final form and a size equivalent to the adult, although further enlargement into the basisphenoid may occur in the adult. Agenesis of paranasal sinuses is an uncommon clinical sign and refers mainly to the frontal and secondarily to the maxillary sinuses. Agenesis of sphenoid sinuses is a very rare phenomenon in the literature. We present a 32-year-old male patient with agenesis of sphenoid sinuses that was studied by CT.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A case of a 5-year-old girl is described whose clinical features included postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly and characteristic facial appearance. These are recognized as the main features of the Dubowitz syndrome. Apart from these features, our patient had recurrent infections of the sinopulmonary tract, high serum IgE levels, defective chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear cells and defective antibody response, findings characterizing the hyper-IgE syndrome. The co-existence of these two syndromes is rare and we suggest that this is the first such case in the literature. CONCLUSION Patients with the Dubowitz syndrome will Dubowitz syndrome will require long-term follow up because there is a considerable risk for the syndrome to co-exist with primary immunodeficiency or for malignancies to develop.

Abstract
This study was designed to examine the pathogenesis of bromodeoxyuridine-induced (BrdU) clefts of the secondary palate in mice. Intraperitoneal injections of BrdU (500 mg/kg body weight) were given on days 11 and 12 to some pregnant mice and on days 12 and 13, and days 11, 12 and 13 to others. Evaluation of craniofacial relations and palate development in BrdU-treated mice revealed inhibition of vertical development of the palatal shelves, mandibular hypoplasia which led to failure of downward displacement of the tongue and the creation of an obstacle to reorientation of the palatal shelves. The results of this study demonstrate a strong correlation between induction of cleft palate and the presence of structural alterations in the mandible, and the mechanism of BrdU-induced cleft palate resembles the defect in the Pierre Robin anomaly.

Abstract
Chronic idiopathic hyperphosphatasemia, or juvenile Paget disease is a very rare syndrome that is characterized by fragile bones, bowing deformities, shortness of stature, large head, premature loss of teeth, radiographic evidence of expanded osteoporotic long bones with coarse trabeculations, and widened bones of the skull. Increased levels of serum alkaline phosphatase and increased levels of urinary total hydroxyproline are notable. We present a case of juvenile Paget disease that was associated with a history of precocious puberty. The patient had odontogenic osteomyelitis of the mandible that was treated by drainage, surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy.

Abstract
Transverse sphenoidal fractures may be associated with a variety of skull base injuries and neural deficits. Among those nerve injuries, oculomotor palsies and particularly sixth cranial nerve palsy, are quite common. Blows on the side of the head in the squamous temporal region may run across the floor of the middle cranial fossa through the greater wing of the sphenoid in the transverse cranial axis. We report three cases of patients who had sustained craniofacial injury which included a transverse fracture of the middle cranial fossa through the sphenoid sinus, extending to the petrous apex and producing abducent, facial, and eighth nerve dysfunction. Spontaneous recovery from diplopia occurred in all cases within 4 months. The management of the patients and the patterns of transverse cranial base fractures and their associated clinical features are discussed.

Abstract
Sagittal or vertical fractures of the mandibular condyle and chip fractures of the medial part of the condylar head are very rare entities and their identification is difficult with conventional radiographs. We report a case of a unilateral bifid mandibular condyle which resulted following a sagittal condylar fracture. This was associated with a chip fracture of the medial part of the condylar head on the contralateral side. These types of condylar fracture do not require any surgical treatment, but early mobilization is indicated.

The natural history of that syndrome is poorly understood and provisional suggestion of a new syndrome will depend on further similar observations.
