Tooth brush plays a vital role in the maintenance of oral health and dental hygiene. Regular brushing is widely advocated by dental surgeon in terms of decreasing dental caries and periodontal problems. Though, there has been decrease in diseases due to sequale of poor oral hygiene, at the same time there are also inherent risk of accidental trauma to the surrounding soft tissue during the act of brushing, more commonly when handled by children. This paper presents a case report of a penetrating toothbrush trauma embedded in buccal soft tissue which required surgical intervention in a child patientJournal of Universal College of Medical SciencesVol. 6, No. 1, 2018, Page: 66-68

This case report details a caudal unilateral traumatic elbow luxation in a 4-year-old male neutered Labrador following a road traffic trauma. This is a highly unusual injury in the dog. The pathogenesis and successful treatment by closed reduction followed by stabilisation with a temporary transarticular external skeletal fixator are discussed. The dog was assessed at 4 weeks and 6 months after surgery. Findings at 6 months after treatment demonstrated a normal gait with no pain or crepitation. A mild amount of soft tissue thickening around the elbow was noted. The range of motion of the elbow was limited to 45 degrees of flexion and 150 degrees of extension. This is the first case of a traumatic caudal luxation of the elbow in a dog described in the English veterinary literature and the first report of successful management of an elbow luxation in a dog by closed reduction and temporary transarticular fixation.

Rare Diagnosis

Tumoral calcinosis is a rare diagnosis characterized by deposition of calcium salts in peri-articular soft tissue regions. It is divided into primary and secondary varieties. The primary tumoral calcinosis is further divided into two types; primary hyperphosphatemic type and primary normophosphatemic type. The secondary variety occurs in association with chronic renal failure. Biochemical assessment and typical radiographic features help in diagnosis. Mainstay of treatment for primary variety is surgical. Secondary variety is mainly treated by medical measures. Surgical intervention is reserved for patients who do not respond to medical therapy.

 Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a structural malformation of the brain that results from the complete or incomplete noncleavage of the forebrain/ prosencephalon of the embryo into 2 hemispheres1. We present a case of twenty-five year-old primigravida presented to the Outpatient department of Obstetrics for routine checkup and diagnosed with Alobar holoprosencephaly on 2nd level USG. Fetal MRI was performed and the findings were confirmed. Even though ultrasonography is diagnostic in the detection of fetal anomalies, MRI plays a vital role due to its multiplanar capability and excellent soft tissue resolution. The purpose of publishing this case is to sensitize the clinicians to the classical features of holoprosencephaly on various imaging modalities and to stress the importance of its detection before 20 weeks of gestation so as to allow for legal medical termination and alleviate maternal psychological trauma of bearing a deformed fetus.

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.

Suppurative Infection

Abstract Actinomyces are Gram-positive branching bacteria that are part of the human gastrointestinal microflora. These organisms can cause actinomycosis, which is a slowly progressive suppurative infection involving the cervicofacial region. Primary involvement of extremities is very rare. Here, we present primary actinomycosis of the lower extremity and a review of related literature. A 35-year-old female from Al-Kharj City (agricultural area) presented to our plastic surgery clinic with complaints of a large mass on the left big toe that caused embarrassment and difficulty in wearing footwear. The patient underwent wide local excision and coverage of the big toe defect with Kutler bilateral V-Y advancement flaps. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose actinomycosis in subacute or chronic inflammatory soft tissue lesions. Proper surgical intervention and antimicrobial are essential to treat the disease. We conclude that a high index of suspicion is required to diagnose actinomycosis in subacute or chronic inflammatory soft tissue lesions.

ABSTRACT Postoperative desmoid tumors in postmenopausal women is a rare condition. Desmoid tumors are unusual soft tissue benign tumors that arise from musculoaponeurotic tissues. They also have ingrowing tendencies to intestines causing unusual clinical presentation. Recent surgical intervention is known in such cases. FNAC is not contributory due to hypocellularity. CT pelvis, abdomen is helpful. Surgical treatment is usually required. Case report is of this unusual condition in our practice.

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening aggressive soft tissue infection which usually affects the extremities, abdominal wall, or perineum. Breasts are rarely affected, with most cases presenting after trauma or surgical intervention. It may be misdiagnosed as abscess or cellulitis, leading to treatment delays. Here, we report a case of necrotizing fasciitis affecting both breasts in a 60-year-old female. Treatment included core biopsy managed with intravenous antibiotic and surgical debridement followed by a simple mastectomy. Currently, the patient is disease-free with a completely healed wound.

Main Factors

Root canal treatment failure can be determined based on a patient’s complaint and on the basis of clinical examination and radiographic findings. Most of the signs and symptoms for the failure are pain and discomfort, swelling and sinus formation at the surrounding soft tissue, and discoloration of the subjected tooth. Factors such as mechanical perforation during the procedures, overfilled or underfilled root canal, and missed or unfilled canals are the main factors for the failure outcome. This case report presents a discolored and infected upper lateral incisor which was previously root canal treated. The tooth was successfully managed under nonsurgical and surgical retreatment followed by an internal bleaching and full porcelain veneer. Apical tissue healing and acceptable tooth appearance was observed during a 12-month review.

Excellent Cosmetic Result

Untreated auricular hematomas from ear trauma can result in an ear deformation known as cauliflower ear, secondary to fibrosis and new cartilage overgrowth. Cauliflower ear reconstruction has traditionally utilized tools such as a drill or a scalpel in order to improve auricular cosmesis. We present a case report utilizing an ultrasonic aspirator to recontour the fibrosed cartilage of a cauliflower ear. The ultrasonic aspirator has advantages over traditional tools in its ability to provide finely controlled bone removal without damage to surrounding soft tissue. The patient in this case report underwent multistage reconstruction using the ultrasonic aspirator with excellent cosmetic result and patient satisfaction.
