Fusion and gemination are not entirely uncommon dental anomalies that may also be named ‘double teeth’. This is due to their unusual presentation in a twin-like fashion. Teeth with these irregularities may appear clinically similar, presenting as large and bulbous in shape with unusual anatomy and fissure patterns. The exact aetiology of these anomalies is uncertain, but many potential local or systemic disturbances during the morphodifferentiation stage of odontogenesis have been considered. Gemination occurs rarely in the permanent dentition and even less frequently in the posterior region of the oral cavity. This report presents a case of a geminated mandibular second molar and discusses the importance of early recognition and diagnosis of such teeth so that adequate preventative care and treatment can be provided.

Intentional replantation is a procedure in which an intentional tooth extraction is performed followed by reinsertion of the extracted tooth into its own alveolus. In this article, intentional replantation is described and discussed as a treatment approach for failed root canal treatment with broken instrument periapically in mandibular second molar.

Introduction: Brain abscess is a complication of congenital cyanotic heart disease with or without shunt anomaly. It is more common in children. Here, we delineated a case of 19-year-old young Bangladeshi - Bengali male who presenting with brain abscess, an unusual presentation of cyanotic complex congenital heart disease. This case report focuses not only on the unusual presentation of congenital heart disease but also emphasizes the importance of early recognition of neurological complication for referal management.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2016; 31(1) : 41-45

The aim of this case report is to present an innovative combined orthodontic-surgical technique to disimpact mandibular second molar (MM2) using an orthodontic miniscrew and an elastic chain. The impact on the Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) was also evaluated. Using the present techinique, it is possible to expose the impacted tooth, insert a self-drilling miniscrew in the retromolar area, and remove the bud of third mandibular molar. At the same time the orthodontic force is applied with the use of an elastomeric chain that connects the head of miniscrew and vestibular and oral buttons bonded on MM2. A close traction is performed for the whole treatment time without the reactivation of the elastic force. The use of skeletal anchorage allowed the disimpaction of impacted MM2 in a short treatment time (about three months) avoiding the typical biomechanical side effects of traditional orthodontic appliance and increasing the effectiveness of the treatment. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the real advantages and disadvantages of this combined orthodontic-surgical approach.

Background. A case report of a nonhealing ulcer of the tongue histologically proven to be adenocarcinoma.Method. A 92-year-old man underwent clinical, immunochemistry, and imaging investigation.Results. Tests confirmed a distant metastasis of a primary colorectal carcinoma.Conclusion. Metastasis from colorectal carcinoma to the oral cavity is primarily to bone, but non-healing ulcers of the oral cavity should be considered in differential diagnoses.
