Abstract

Conditions that affect dental and periodontal structures receive sparse coverage in the plastic surgery literature, yet a working knowledge of this subject matter is important in certain areas of clinical practice and a fundamental understanding is part of plastic surgery competency tested on the in-service and written board examinations. This 4-part series was written to provide plastic surgeons with a working knowledge of dental topics that may be relevant to their clinical practice. This section, Part IV, covers common dental cyst and tumors of the jaw.
