Treating Benign Oral Tumors

Enucleation and Curettage Enucleation and curettage are the preferred treatment methods for many benign oral tumors, particularly cystic lesions.
Enucleation involves removing the entire tumor, while curettage follows by scraping out any remaining cells from the surrounding bone or tissue to reduce the risk of recurrence.

This approach is often used for smaller, less aggressive tumors but may also be necessary for cystic conditions such as odontogenic keratocysts, where recurrence is more likely without thorough removal.
These minimally invasive procedures ensure effective treatment while minimizing damage to surrounding structures.

Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is a severe condition that can affect patients taking medications like bisphosphonates (e.g., Zometa, Fosamax), commonly prescribed for osteoporosis, certain cancers, and high calcium levels. Other medicines like denosumab, steroids, and certain cancer treatments can also increase the risk of developing MRONJ, particularly after procedures like tooth extractions or endodontic treatments.

If you’ve been diagnosed with MRONJ or need oral surgery while taking these medications, our experienced team at the Oral Cancer Institute provides personalized care and tailored treatment options to ensure your health and safety.

☎️ Schedule your consultation today at 773-245-5253. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Did you know that SPECT-CT has been a standard procedure for sentinel node lymphoscintigraphy for oral cancer since 2010? At the Oral Cancer Institute (OCI), our surgeons specialize in performing sentinel lymph node biopsies (SNLB).

SNLB offers an alternative to selective neck dissection for oral cavity cancers. It allows for sampling of lymph nodes in the neck to check for cancerous spread. Compared to traditional neck dissection, SNLB is typically shorter and utilizes smaller incisions.

Wondering if you're a candidate for SNLB? Don't hesitate to ask your OCI surgeon about this modern approach to lymph node evaluation, or call us today to schedule your appointment. ☎️ 773-245-5253

Diagnosing osteomyelitis involves a multi-faceted approach combining clinical evaluation, advanced imaging, and microbiological assessment.
Initial diagnosis often includes clinical assessment of symptoms such as localized bone pain, swelling, and systemic signs of infection.
Imaging techniques like X-rays, MRI, and CT scans are crucial for visualizing bone changes and the extent of infection.
A bone biopsy is often necessary to confirm the diagnosis and identify the causative organism, guiding targeted antibiotic therapy.

Upper jaw cancer can originate in the gums or adjacent tissue. Left unattended, the cancer can advance upwards into the maxillary sinuses or nasal cavity. Left unchecked, these cancers can even extend further up to the floor of the eye socket or backward toward the skull base. Therefore, early detection is crucial to minimize complications and the extent of surgery.

Treatment typically involves resectioning a portion of the upper jaw (maxillectomy) and reconstruction using advanced reconstructive techniques.
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with oral cancer, schedule a consultation or a second opinion at OCI today!📞773-245-5253

Key Types of Malignant Parotid Gland Tumors

Some malignant parotid tumors can be aggressive and require targeted treatment approaches. The most common include:

🔴Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma: The most frequent malignant parotid tumor, presenting with varying degrees of aggressiveness depending on its grade.
🔴Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: Known for nerve invasion, leading to symptoms like facial numbness or weakness, and has a higher chance of recurrence.
🔴Adenocarcinoma: A rarer and more aggressive form of malignant parotid tumor, often more challenging to manage.
