Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor of Maxillary Sinus – A Diagnostic Dilemma: Case Report and Brief Literature Review

Adenomatoidodontogenic tumor (AOT), constituting approximately 3-7% of all odontogenic tumors is described as a rare benign epithelial tumor of odontogenic origin. It is composed of odontogenic epithelium arranged in a variety of histoarchitectural presentations and closely resembles an ameloblastoma. AOT is mostly asymptomatic and is usually associated with impacted teeth in maxillary anterior region. We present a case of intraosseus follicular AOT existing in the maxillary sinus of a 14-year-old female child involving lateral incisor and canine impacted towards the orbital floor.The cystic tumor filled maxillary sinus and was removed along with the retained tooth. At one year follow up, healing was uneventful and no local recurrence was seen

Esthetic and functional rehabilitation of a patient with bruxism using hobo′s twin table technique

A female patient aged 28 years reported to the Department of Prosthodontics and crown and bridge with a complaint of missing teeth in maxillary anterior region. An interdisciplinary approach was planned for rehabilitating the patient. The oral presentation showed severe attrition of the anterior teeth and loss of vertical dimension of occlusion. A full mouth rehabilitation was thus carried out using multidisciplinary approach along with Hobos twin table technique to restore the dentition to esthetic and functional needs and the patient was rehabilitated satisfactorily.
