Pulmonary Tb

The purpose of this report is to emphasize the importance of tuberculosis (TB) contacts evaluation in order to detect cases of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and active TB. This case reports a two-month-old infant diagnosed with pulmonary TB with a bacilliferous mother whose diagnosis of TB occurred in the second week of puerperium. The correct evaluation of the child allowed the early diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary TB, avoiding its evolution to severe forms of the disease (miliary TB and meningoencephalitis) and its sequelae or deadly outcome.

Background: Pink spots in teeth were first described by Mummery in 1920, and were related to resorption. Resorption is a pathologic process that often eludes the clinician with its varied etiologic factors and diverse clinical presentations. Resorption can be generally classified as internal and external resorption. Internal resorption has been described as a rare occurrence as compared to external resorption. Case report: This article describes a pink spot that was diagnosed as a progressing resorption process. Early diagnosis enabled a successful management of the lesion. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment of an internal resorption, clinically seen as a pink spot, in a primary central incisor may prevent its fast progress and subsequent loss.

Shape And Size

ABSTRACTSupernumerary teeth occur frequently in permanent dentition, but they are rarely found in primary dentition. Supernumerary teeth of orthodox shape and size that resemble normal dentition are called ‘supplemental teeth’. Supplemental teeth are less common than supernumerary teeth and are often overlooked because of their normal shape and size. Supplemental teeth may cause esthetic problems, delayed eruption and crowding, and they require early diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications. The case reported here is one of bilateral supplemental teeth impeding the eruption of permanent maxillary lateral incisors, and it emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment during early mixed dentition.
