    The contribution to success of various methods of treatment of temporomandibular joint ankylosis (a statistical study containing 24 cases)
    (2005) Tanrikulu R.; Erol B.; Görgün B.; Söker M.
    Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is an important joint disorder which, in addition to emerging through trauma, can also arise as a result of local and systemic infections. TMJ ankylosis which develops in childhood in particular has its own characteristics. Despite the existence of different views on the treatment of TMJ ankylosis, various techniques have been defined, and three basic techniques are currently employed: gap arthroplasty, interpositional arthroplasty and joint reconstruction. Our study is intended as a statistical inquiry into the contribution to the operation success of the three different methods of treatment. Moreover, the effect on treatment outcome of unilateral or bilateral ankylosis is also statistically evaluated. In our study, eight cases were treated with gap arthroplasty, nine with interpositional arthroplasty and seven with joint reconstruction performed by costochondral graft. As a result of our statistical evaluation, it was determined that the effect of interpositional arthroplasty on post-operative maximal interincisal mouth opening was greater than that observed with the other methods.

    Interesting case: An unusual location for a large pleomorphic adenoma arising in the maxilla
    (2010) Tanrikulu R.; Yaman F.; Atilgan S.; Gunes N.; Gorgun B.
    Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the major salivary glands, especially of the parotid gland. It is much less common in the minor salivary glands of the oral cavity, and it rarely occurs in others sites in the head and neck (intraosseous, lacrimal gland, chest). A 51-year-old woman was referred to our department complaining of painless swelling of the left maxillary vestibular sulcus, which had been felt pain with the pressure. CT scan revealed a well defined expansile mass arising from pterygoid plates, infratemporal space to palatinal bone and arcus zygoma. Transoral biopsy specimen showed pleomorphic adenoma. Patient was treated by surgical excision. Follow up goes on in postoperative period. Our study's aim is to present the pleomorophic adenoma's case which is extended up large propotion in an unusual location. Our case is evaluated by in terms of diagnose and treatment result. Furthermore in the light of literature reviews we discuss the pleomorphic adenoma's incidence, location, and recurrence rates. We believe that our presentation is very interesting in point of view rare location and expansive mass.

    Tumors of the maxillofacial region in children: Retrospective analysis and long-term follow-up outcomes of 90 patients
    (2004) Tanrikulu R.; Erol B.; Haspolat K.
    The aim of this study was to carry out a retrospective analysis of maxillofacial Tumors in children and to present the lnog-term follow-up results. Our study was performed with a retrospective analysis of 90 patients under the age of 15 years with maxillofacial tumor treated in our clinic between 1985-2002. In addition, treatment modalities and long-term follow-up results of these patients were evaluated. According to our results, it was established that maxillofacial tumors were mostly observed in the 11-15 age group (39 cases, 43.3%) and on the mandible (48 cases, 53.3%). There were 21 (23.3%) odontogenic, 63 (70%) benign non-odontogenic and 6 (6.7%) malignant non-odontogenic. Mixed tumors were the most common type of the odontogenic tumors, and mesenchymal tumors were the most common non-odontogenic tumors. Surgical excision, curettage or en bloc resection were adequate for treatment of these tumors.
