Inter-disciplinary approach to the management of central giant cell lesion- A case report
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Central giant cell Lesion CGCL of the jaw is a relatively uncommon benign lesion of unknown etiology Essentially a destructive process the most common treatment is surgical removal however alternative therapies intralesional injections of corticosteroids interferon alpha and calcitonin have been used in order to avoid undesirable damage to the jaws and teeth Clinically along with facial asymmetry the lesion often results in deranged occlusion that must be treated orthodontically This case report illustrates sequential management of CGCL with intralesional corticosteroids followed by surgical recontouring along with orthodontic considerations in management of associated malocclusion Difficulties in handling such cases and projecting the recurrence of CGCL shall also be discussedKeywords Central giant cell lesion Buccal crossbite Intralesional corticosteroids Orthodontic treatment
