Introduction: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare disorder with a genetic component that may appear during tooth replacement. This condition can cause functional and aesthetic pro-blems such as malocclusions, diastemas, pain when chewing, dental caries, periodontal disease, delayed eruption, among others. Objective: To report the multidisciplinary treatment provided to a patient with hereditary gingival fibromatosis. Case Report: This report describes the treatment carried out in a thirteen-year-old male patient presenting generalized increase in gingival volume associated with functional and aesthetic compromise and delayed eruption of permanent teeth. After diagnosis, a multidisciplinary intervention was proposed, involving perio-dontal and pediatric dentistry procedures, which improved the quality of life of the patient both functionally and aesthetically. Conclusion: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis not only affects the dental eruption process, but also causes aesthetic and emotional alterations in the patient. The periodontal procedures significantly im-proved the appearance, function, and the psychological state of the patient.

The dental management of an 8-year-old girl with osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis (OS-CS) is described. The girl presented with various oral abnormalities. The aim of this case report was to describe in detail the dental findings in a patient with OC-CS and the precautions to be taken when planning treatment. In the present case, many dental anomalies, such as delayed eruption of the permanent teeth, obliteration of the dental pulp, short roots, fused roots and taurodontism, were detected. In patients with OS-CS, routine dental care from an early stage is recommended to manage this anomaly properly.

Abstract: Avulsion of the permanent teeth is one of the most serious forms of traumatic dental injuries, which endangers the patients’ quality of life. Therefore, the fast and proper treatment is crucial. In this case report we will discuss the supportive and definitive functional treatment and correct rehabilitation. The traumatic force can cause complex oral and maxillofacial injuries, which comprehensive treatment constitutes a major challenge for the dentist. Here we review functional restoration of dental injuries and their definitive aesthetic solution. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(33): 1314–1318.

Mesiodens is the most common supernumerary tooth and is present in the midline between the two central incisors. It occurs mostly due to hyperactivity of the dental lamina. They are usually small, with a cone shaped crown and a short root, may be single or paired, erupted or impacted and occasionally even be inverted. Presence of more than one mesiodens is termed as mesiodentes. Presence of mesiodens may cause impaction or delayed eruption of permanent teeth, malocclusion leading to disturbance in chewing, swallowing and speech, root resorption of the adjacent teeth, impaired dentofacial aesthetics, and sometimes cyst formation. The erupted mesiodens can be easily diagnosed clinically, and the unerupted ones are best diagnosed by clinical and radiological evaluation. Although mesiodens is the most common supernumerary teeth, presence of double mesiodens is uncommon. In this paper we describe a case of palatally erupted double mesiodens and its management in a 20year old girl.

Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) is a rare syndrome of genetic etiology, commonly occasioned by mutations in the IRF6 gene and that causes disorders in craniofacial development. VWS is characterized by the presence of paramedian fistulas in the lower lip and cleft lip and / or cleft palate. Although some dental phenotypes have been reported in this syndrome, multiple and rare hypodontias were not described. Through this case report, we present a case of Van der Woude Syndrome (VWS) with rare and multiple hypodontia in which clinical data and radiographic exams were evaluated. The patient presented hypodontia of eight permanent teeth (lateral incisors, second premolars and second molars). So, when the dentist recognizes multiple and/or rare hypodontias, for an accurate diagnosis, detailed examination of the lower lip is indicated, as well as a survey of the family history and referral for genetic counseling, since the syndrome presents high penetrance. The patient is expected to be rehabilitated to have a good quality of life. Rehabilitation in these cases requires alveolar bone graft, orthodontics and prosthesis to replace missing teeth.

Introdução: O Linfedema Primário (LP) é caracterizado por disfunção do sistema linfático de etiologia idiopática. Este pode ser dividido em congênito, precoce e tardio, sendo o tipo congênito o mais raro. O diagnóstico desta patologia é predominantemente clínico,  podendo  ser  solicitado  linfocintilografia quando  há  dúvida  diagnóstica. O diagnóstico  precoce  está  diretamente  relacionado  com  o  melhor  prognóstico  do paciente, postergando limitações físicas e psico­sociais. O tratamento do LP é clínico e multiprofissional. Relato do Caso: Relatou­se caso raro de uma paciente de 78 anos de idade, sexo feminino, portadora de Linfedema Primário em membro superior esquerdo desde o nascimento, o qual foi investigado durante a infância, porém com resultados inconclusivos. Conclusão: Embora seja pequena a quantidade de trabalhos sobre o tema, este relato confirma que o diagnóstico precoce é fundamental e que o tratamento igualmente precoce e multiprofissional melhora a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.Palavras­chave:  Linfedema, Sistema Linfático, Extremidade Superior, Idoso, CintilografiaABSTRACTIntroduction: Primary lymphedema (PL) is characterized by dysfunction of the lymphatic system of idiopathic etiology. It can be divided into congenital, early and late,  with  the congenital type being the rarest. The diagnosis of this pathology is predominantly clinical, and a lymphoscintilography may be requested when the diagnostic is uncertain. Early diagnosis is directly related to better patient prognosis, delaying physical and psychosocial limitations. Treatment of PL is clinical and multiprofessional. Case Report: The aim of this paper is to describe a rare case of a 78­ year­old female with primary lymphedema in the left arm since her birth, which was investigated during childhood, but with inconclusive results. Conclusion: Although there is small  amount of work on the topic, this report confirms that early diagnosis is crucial and also that  early and multidisciplinary treatment improves the quality of life of patients.Keywords: Lymphedema, Lymphatic System, Upper Extremity, Elderly, Radionuclide Imaging

Zimmerman-Laband syndrome was reported by Zimmerman in the year 1928 which is a rare inherited autosomal dominant disease characterized by generalized enlargement of the attached and marginal gingiva, abnormalities of nose, ear, deformities of nails, joint hyperextensibility, hepatosplenomegaly, skeletal abnormalities and occasional mental retardation. Idiopathic gingival enlargement is usually evident after the eruption of the permanent teeth. Both sexes are equally affected. Genetic loci for autosomal dominant modes of gingival fibromatosis is localized to chromosome 2p21p22 (HGF-1) and chromosome 5q12-q22 (HGF-2). This syndrome is not a life threatening disorder. Hereditary gingival enlargement is associated with syndromes like Rutherford syndrome, Zimmerman-Laband syndrome, Murray-Puretic-Drescher syndrome, Cross syndrome and Ramon’s syndrome. The most important feature of this syndrome is gingival enlargement appearing early in childhood. Idiopathic gingival enlargement is usually evident after the eruption of the permanent teeth. Surgical correction of gingival fibromatosis is recommended, although there is no information on the permanence of the results of this treatment. We present a case of a 14 year old female patient with Zimmerman-Laband syndrome. Gingivectomy was carried out in the upper and lower anterior region there by exposing the impacted teeth.

Oligodontia is a rare congenital disorder consisting in the absence of six or more teeth. This case report describes a multidisciplinary treatment approach for a 12-year-old male with absence of 11 permanent teeth. Prior to any procedure, all primary teeth were scheduled for extraction due to poor crown-to-root ratio. The treatment plan comprised two phases: 1. orthodontic and speech therapy aimed at overbite and anterior open bite adjustment, as well as tongue position improvement; and 2. prosthetic treatment by insertion of removable temporary partial dentures. The multidisciplinary treatment involving orthodontics, speech and prosthetic therapies have reestablished the masticatory function and aesthetics, allowing the patient to achieve greater self-esteem and better social acceptance.

Objective. This case report presents 3-year follow-up of a case of nonsyndromic multiple supernumerary teeth (NSMST) with 11 supernumerary teeth, 2 of which showed subsequent formation.Case Report. A 10-year-old girl was referred to the dental clinic with the chief complaint of delayed eruption. Radiographic examination showed 9 retained supernumerary teeth. The treatment plan consisted of extraction of the supernumerary teeth and associated primary teeth in order to allow the permanent teeth to erupt. After 2 years of follow-up, 2 additional supernumerary teeth were observed.Conclusion. Regular follow-up for late forming supernumeraries is crucial for NSMST cases.
