ABSTRACT
Odontogenic tumors (OT) are lesions that derive from the tooth-producing tissues or their remnants that remain entrapped either within the jawbones or into the adjacent soft tissues. WHO's formal reclassification of Odontogenic keratocyst as a tumour underscores the fact that this lesion should not be managed as the simple cyst it was believed to be. The distinction and delineation from cyst to a tumor is an enigmatic part in the spectrum of progression of this disease. The purpose of this paper is to review the treatment of a patient with KCOT using marsupilisation combined with enucleation.
Key words: OKC, KCOT, TUMOR, ENUCLEATION.

Abstract
Over the years several changes have been made in the fabrication of dental resin composites to obtain better color stability over time, greater wear resistance and clinically acceptable final surface smoothness of placed restorations. To achieve this last goal, manufacturers have reduced the diameter of filler particles. Therefore the composite materials in this study were taken according to a difference in filler particle size so as to check the polishing ability of a single-step polishing system (PoGo) in respect to different composite materials. The composites used were Z100, and Esthet-X.
Key words: Z-100, Esthet-X, PoGo, Profilometer.

Abstract
Introduction:Fixed prostheses represents a mechanical structure which not only makes anatomic replacement of missing teeth, but at the same time respect the physiological functions and harmonized with all the elements of the masticatory system.The aim of this study was to assess changes on the EMG values of masticatory muscles, masseter and temporalis three months after rehabilitation of missing teeth with fixed prosthodontics prostheses.
Methods:The study involved 40 patients aged 20 to 59 years which we have treated according to following protocol:a) Anatomic and Functional examination of dental occlusion and electromyographic examination of masticatory muscles masseter and anterior temporal; b) Prosthetic rehabilitation of dental defects with fixed dental bridge; c) Three months after prosthetic rehabilitation we re-evaluated electromyographic examination of masticatory muscles.
Results:There were a significant correlation between the number of missing teeth, occlusal interferences, and electromyographic values of masticatory muscles.There were significant differences among electromyographic values before and after prosthetic rehabilitation.
Conclusion:We thus conclude that among limited unilateral defects on dental arches there is place for prosthetic treatment of the occlusion as prophylactic treatment for muscular activity.
Key Words: Electromyography, occlusal interference, masticatory muscle, fixed dental rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT
Background : Mandibular fractures is the main type of TMJ macrotrauma. Malocclusion, unilateral mastication as well as oral habits including bruxism and clenching are included in the category of TMJ microtrauma. The articular disc in TMJ has a primary function of stress distribution. Trauma has been thought to alter the mechanical properties of the disc. TMJ Macrotrauma may cause degeneration of articular cartilage and production of the inflammatory and pain mediators A series of cytokines and chemical mediators are reported to play a major role in various arthropathies for example rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of TMJ. Among them, typically IL-1 Beta appear to be of importance in pathogenesis of synovitis and in cartilage damage in these joint disease. IL-1Beta act to induce the production of metalloproteinases that induce matrix degradation. The inflammatory and degenerative changes of TMJ can develop after mandibular fractures.
Method: Analysis of TMJ status of 14 mandibular fracture patients were done for synovial fluid biochemical analysis of IL-1 Beta (IL-1 Beta ELISA kit) by a procedure of arthrocentesis. Histomorphic examination,was also performed on the selected patients. Exclusion criteria included high condylar and neck fractures and known cases of degenerative joint disorders.
Results and Observation: In biochemical analysis considerable amount of IL- 1Beta was detected in the synovial fluid of patients. On Histomorphic examination, degenerated cells, cartilage, inflammatory cells and crystals were observed.
Conclusion: Mandibular fractures can be a possible etiologic factor in cartilage destruction, biochemical and intra-articular pathology. Increased levels of IL-1 Beta could be potential catabolic marker for cartilage degradation in the TMJ. Clinicians should recognize the etiologic importance of TMJ Macrotrauma , and importance of long term evaluation of TMJ .
