ABSTRACT Mesiodens is the term used for describing the supernumerary tooth that occurs in the maxilla, between the central incisors, in the midline region. These may erupt in the oral cavity or keep themselves impacted. Their presence causes cleaning inadequate, impossibility or difficult of the eruption of the regular teeth and having the aesthetic compromised. This paper aims at showing that early identification of supernumerary teeth, planning and correct approach, allow the preservation of the teeth and adjacent structures. This article presents the clinical case of a seven-year-old child, male, who sought for treatment complaining that teeth 11 didn't appear in the buccal cavity. Clinical and radiographic exams were done and they demonstrated the presence of the supernumerary tooth. The plan of treatment aimed at the correct localization, extraction of this supernumerary tooth and continuous follow up of the case.

Interceptive orthodontics in mixed dentition period of children is practiced to prevent the severity of incurred malocclusion at an incipient juncture of life. Identifying malocclusion at a very early phase and diagnosing it at right age can help the pediatric dentists to achieve stability as far as the treatment is concerned. Mesiodens is a common type of supernumerary tooth which is found commonly in the incisor region of oral cavity. This anomalous occurrence can lead to varied complications like unerupted teeth, displaced teeth etc. This case report deciphers a case of mesiodens causing anterior teeth malocclusion and its management by 2 x 4 Orthodontic appliance.

AbstractThe aim of this case report is to evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in the treatment of oral mucositis induced by methotrexate (MTX).A 52-year-old male patient, affected by rheumatoid arthritis and treated with corticosteroids and MTX, complained about severe oral pain and lesions for two months. He had been treated with topical and systemic corticosteroid therapy and chlorhexidine rinses with no significant improvement. He was not able to eat solid food or to wear his dental prosthesis. Examination of the oral cavity revealed retro-commissural and labial bilateral ulcerations and erythema and a 2-cm wide fibrous white lesion on the lower anterior vestibular ridge. Blood tests showed mild pancytopenia, and oral biopsies evidenced a “non-specific inflammatory condition” excluding any precancerous or paraneoplastic lesion or autoimmune diseases of the oral cavity. Previous medical records revealed that MTX had been discontinued many times due to mucositis since 2006, when the therapy had been started. This suggested a correlation between the onset of oral mucositis and MTX accumulation. LLLT was carried out for 4 consecutive days and three once-a-week follow-ups were performed.Lesions had completely healed during the second follow-up and the patient referred no pain at all from the 4th laser session on, therefore, the discontinuation of MTX had not been necessary.LLLT could represent an innovative technique to relieve pain related to MTX side effects thus avoiding dangerous discontinuation of therapy.

AbstractSupernumerary teeth in the upper third molar region are relatively common but cases in the lower jaw are rare. In his survey of supernumerary teeth Stafne (1932) saw 131 upper but only 10 lower fourth molars. The following is a report of a single supernumerary tooth in the lower third molar region.

Dental trauma is very common, especially in children and adolescents. Tooth avulsion (exarticulation), which is a result of complete rupture of periodontal ligaments is one of the most severe dental injuries. The treatment of choice in avulsion of permanent teeth is reimplantation. Survival of reimplanted teeth depends greatly on the time and conditions in which teeth were stored outside the oral cavity. This report presents a case of 18-year old male with avulsion of central maxillary incisors. The teeth were reimplanted 14 hours after injury. During 8-year follow up no major complications occurred and the teeth still maintain their function, although signs of mild replacement resorption are visible on the follow-up radiographs.

ABSTRACT Exostoses or hyperostoses are benign bony outgrowths originating from the cortical bone and depend on their location for a more precise designation. The most common types found in the oral cavity are the torus palatinus and the torus mandibularis. Buccal and palatal exostoses are located along the buccal aspect of the maxilla and/or the mandible (commonly in the premolar and molar areas) and on the palatal aspect of the maxilla (usually in the tuberosity area), respectively. The etiology of exostoses still hasn’t been enlightened but an interaction between environmental and genetic factors is accredited. They are usually asymptomatic, unless the mucosa becomes ulcerated. The frequency of exostoses increases with age, having their biggest prevalence from 60 years old, being more common in men and suffering ethnic influences. A thorough evaluation is important for the correct diagnosis since other lesions have similar clinical characteristics to the exostoses such as osteomas. The majority of exostoses are diagnosed clinically along with radiographic interpretations, making the biopsy dispensable and the treatment is usually unnecessary. The aim of this article was to describe a case report of bilateral maxillary exostosis, unusual, in a female patient. If an excessive amount of bone is present the exostoses may exhibit a relative radiopacity on dental radiographs. Initially, periapical and panoramic radiographs were performed to evaluate the alterations. Due to the size of the exostoses a concomitant Cone Beam Computed Tomography was performed to confirm the diagnosis. The patient is in follow-up.

Abstract Background. Supernumerary teeth are described as an excess of the normal teeth number of 20 deciduous and 32 permanent teeth and can occur in any dental region. Material and methods. The authors present the case of a 12-year-old female child with a paramolar in the maxilla, discovered accidentally during an orthopantomogram, emphasising the treatment modality and the complications that can appear. Conclusion. Supernumerary teeth can be present in any region of the oral cavity. Both practitioners and clinicians should be aware of the various types of paramolars and make a treatment plan after an accurate clinical and radiographic examination.

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia is rare and in the oral cavity it accounts <1% of all biopsied lesion. For decades Necrotizing Sialometaplasia were treated by conservative management as it is a self healing lesion. The progressive healing period was reported from 2 weeks to 3 months in the literature. Is necrotizing sialometaplasia a self-limiting disease? Here we report a case of non-healing necrotizing sialometaplasia which was treated by surgical management. Complete regression of the lesion was evident after the surgical management and no recurrence until two years of follow-up.

Autologous lamellar corneal grafts were performed on four dogs with two deep corneal ulcers and two corneal perforations to achieve better visual and aesthetic outcomes. The donor corneal graft was harvested from the relatively normal corneal region of the affected eye and used to cover the corneal defect. At the two-year follow-up examination, ultrasound biomicroscopy was performed to confirm the thickness and endothelial continuity of the transplanted grafts and donor site of the cornea. The evaluations revealed that the dogs had healed without incident and that their vision had been maintained. Furthermore, the owners were satisfied with the aesthetic outcomes in all cases. Our findings show that autologous lamellar corneal grafts are useful and effective in treating canine corneal ulcers and perforations.
