Familial progressive hyperpigmentation (FPH) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by hyperpigmented patches in the skin and mucous membranes, present in early infancy, and increase in size and number with age. The genetic basis for FPH remains unknown. We report an unusual case of familial progressive hypermelanosis in a 17-year-old male patient with family history, who presented with a peculiar progressive oral pigmentation disorder. Diagnosis was confirmed by a series of hematological, biochemical, and histopathological investigations. Our paper stresses the need for the dentist to be aware of the systemic conditions that can also manifest in the oral cavity.

42 years old male patient referred from neurology department, working as a teacher, educated up to MSc, premorbidly anxious personality, family history mental illness (first degree relatives), comes from MSES with presenting complaints of difficulty in writing or copying since seven years. Disability progressed and he was unable to write even a few words legibly and could not hold object which leads to anxiety and dependency. When the patient was examined at Neurology OPD, find out that he has normal sensory and motor nerve functions. The present treatment involved the use of Bahaviour therapy. The findings in this case is very encouraging and studies with large sample sizes can be considered for further conclusive evidence on the treatment of writer’s cramp.

Psoriasis is known to cause chronic inammatory disorder of the skin through an immune mediated mechanism, it may be complicated by different types of glomerular lesions. Three different mechanisms have been implicated by which psoriasis can cause renal damage: immune-mediated renal damage, drug-related renal damage and chronic renal damage. This report presents a case of 35 years old male patient with extensive psoriasis, who presented to our hospital with nephrotic syndrome

We describe an unusual case of an odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) associated with an ungrafted left-sided alveolar cleft in a 10-year-old male patient. There is no previous report in the literature of OKC or other dental cysts associated with an alveolar cleft. We discuss the management of the OKC prior to secondary bone grafting and present this case to highlight the difficulty in the management of OKC concurrent with grafting of the alveolar cleft site, the proximity of unerupted permanent teeth, and possible treatment modalities.

Reactive Processes

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive process of the gingiva that develops due to irritation or minor trauma. Females are more affected than males suggesting a hormonal influence. This case report describes a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 48-year-old male patient in 33, 34 regions in contrast to its common occurrence in young females. Histopathological examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice to prevent recurrence. One year follow up of the case showed no signs of recurrence. Gingival overgrowth is a common feature of the various types of gingival disease in the oral cavity. Gingival diseases and conditions can be due to genetic disorder, specific infections, inflammatory and immune conditions and lesions, reactive processes, neoplasms, endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases, traumatic lesions and gingival pigmentation.1 Reactive processes are non-neoplastic nodular swellings that develop in response to local irritation or minor trauma. The term epulis is exophytic processes confined to the gingiva.2 Kfir et al. classified epulides into fibrous epulis, peripheral ossifying fibroma, pyogenic granuloma (vascular epulis), peripheral giant cell granuloma (or central).3 Ossifying fibromas in the oral cavity can be classified into central and peripheral type. The central type expands from the medullary cavity of the bone, arising from the endosteum or the periodontal ligament (PDL) adjacent to the root apex. Peripheral type arises from the soft tissues overlying the alveolar process which is contiguous with the periodontal ligament. 4 This article presents a case of POF in a male patient.

Common Manifestation

Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a chronic, autoimmune, subepithelial vesiculobullous disease that very frequently affects the mucous membranes and less often the skin. Oral cavity is the most commonly affected site and desquamative gingivitis (DG) is the most common manifestation. This is the main reason why dentists play a vital role in the diagnosis and managing the oral health of patients. Treatment is usually challenging, however, it only can achieve temporary symptomatic effect. We report a case of desquamative gingivi-tis, manifestation of MMP that was treated successfully with topical corticosteroid. The latter was applied by using of individual made custom trays to improve clinical efficacy.

Odontomas are the most common of the odontogenic tumors of the jaws, which are benign, slow growing, and nonaggressive. They are usually asymptomatic and found in routine dental radiographic examination. Odontomas are usually associated with tooth eruption disturbances. Eruption of odontoma in oral cavity is rare entity. Here we report a case of an unusual erupted compound odontoma.

Early Sign

Acromegaly is a devastating chronic slowly progressive disease. Its early diagnosis is a challenging issue that necessitates clinical suspicion of signs and symptoms as a first step. This report introduces an unusual early sign in the oral cavity that lead to the early diagnosis of an acromegaly case. A case of a healthy 40-year-old male patient presented with progressively growing multiple hard swellings in the upper and lower jaws. Clinical examination revealed bony hard multiple small spiky exostosis-like swellings, located at the maxillary and mandibular alveolar bones. An array of investigations revealed a 2-mm diameter pituitary tumour in MRI of sella. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first report of spiky exostosis-like growths in the alveolar bone as an early sign of acromegaly. In this case, thorough examination of oral signs and symptoms was the first step for early diagnosis and hence, better prognosis for acromegaly.

<p class="abstract">Malignant melanoma of the oral cavity is an exceedingly rare tumor representing 0.2 to 8% of all melanomas. Mucosal melanomas are extremely rare and aggressive neoplasms. Patient reporting to the clinician with a pigmented lesion should raise suspicion in the first visit itself and should be further investigated so as to detect this dreaded malignancy at an earlier stage and thus managed appropriately. We presented two such rare cases who reported at our centre treated with different modalities and had different responses to treatment. In first case report 65 year old male patient diagnosed with malignant melanoma of left upper alveolus underwent multiple modalities of treatment like surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy but unfortunately as he defaulted post-surgery and also due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions he was treated in various centres and finally the result was inoperable residual gigantic mass resistant to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In second case report, 82 year old male patient reported with malignant melanoma hard palate having good response to initial chemotherapy. He was planned on hypo-fractionated radiotherapy in view of his old age but he refused radiation treatment and is on oral temozolamide and thalidomide with stable disease and good quality of life since past 6 months.</p>

Introduction: Hyperdontia is the condition of having supernumerary tooth, or teeth, which appear in addition to the regular number of teeth. It is a developmental anomaly and has been argued to arise from multiple aetiologies. It may remain embedded in the alveolar bone or can erupt into the oral cavity. Mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth located in the anterior maxilla, placed palatally or in between the maxillary central incisors. It may be single or paired, erupted or impacted and at times even inverted. Aesthetic or functional problems are two main issues associated with mesiodens.This case report demonstrates the orthodontic management of a case of a nonsyndromic male patient with conical type supernumerary tooth at the maxillary anterior region with a Class I malocclusion complicated by palatally erupted upper right lateral tooth with Bolton discrepancy. Good aesthetic and functional result achieved at the end of treatment.
