The aim of our research was to detect the frequency of oral manifestations among the new revealed HIV-infected persons in 2013-2015. For this we studied the data from the center of AIDS, according to the testimony we studied those patients who needed stationary treatment and we got these results: In 2013 out of 490 new cases the presence of specific oral manifestations was found in 253(51.63 0.796%) patients. From whom we investigated 69 (27.270.61%) people. 45(65. 220. 45%) of them had oral candidiasis and 34(49.270.45%) disorders were caused by herpes-virus. In 2014 were revealed 564 new cases and the number of different concurrent intraoral lesions were found in 295(52.300.82%) patients. We investigated from them 146(49.490.66%) people and the result was next: 98 (67.120.32%) were different kinds of oral candidiasis and 54 (36.990.32%) diseases - caused by herpes-virus. In 2015 out of 717 new cases the HIV-associated oral manifestations were found in 381(53.130.86%) patients. We investigated 184(48.290.73%) people and as a result - 118 (64.130.46%) cases of them were oral candidiasis and 67(36.410.32%) were diseases caused by herpes-virus. According to the study it is obvious, that HIV-associated oral manifestations are met quite often among the HIV/ AIDS patients. It is very important to know specifications of these disorders, to make some right investigations and correct diagnosis in all situations, especially when it takes place HIV-associated oral lesions. Dentists should take in account the importance of instant diagnostic of oral manifestations in HIV/AIDS patients.

Background : Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune intraepithelial blistering disease involving the skin and mucous membranes. Oral lesions could be the first sign of the disease followed by the involvement of skin and other mucosa sites.Objectives : This is oral manifestations of pemphigus vulgaris case report, intended to help clinicians to recognize and treat the oral lesions.Case Reported : Male 27 yo admitted to RSUP Dr.Hasan Sadikin hospital with multiple blisters on the skin and oral mucosa, was diagnosed with Pemphigus Vulgaris.Case Management : Patient was treated with steroid mouth wash and oral paste. After two months of treatment, the patient was fully recovered from oral lesion.Discussion : In PV, autoantibodies are produced against desmosomes spesifically desmoglein 3 which responsible for holding the cells of the epithelium together. The loss of adhesive function due to anti Dsg 3 antibodies result in bulla formation on the oral mucosa.The aetiology for PV is still uncertain. Conclusion :Early recognition and treatment of oral lesions is important as it may prevent skin involvement. Early treatment, patient’s compliance and multi disciplinal teamwork ensure the treatment succes for this disease

The therapy of erosive lichen planus (ELP) has been particular problem in the treatment of oral lesions. This case of ELP in male patient 29 years old was treated with topic application of the NBF gingival gel, three times a day after meal, previously rinsed with Clorhexidine gluconate 0.12%. After 5 days of treatment, initial improvements were recorded, and after two weeks of application of the NBF gingival gel we observed significant improvement. Clinical monitoring after the fifth day showed mild epithelialization of the eroded mucosa, yet still present erythematous base of the lesion. After the second week the erythema area was significantly reduced and the eroded surfaces of the mucosa were minimal, measured less than 0.5 mm. After the third week there were no erosions to detect on the oral mucosa, yet still present vague redness, which completely pulled after the fourth week. Treatment ended after the fifth week when the topical application of the NBF gingival gel was terminated, and therapy was done, and clinically achieved effects remained stable even after the third month of the treatment. Topic application of the NBF gingival gel with ELP patients showed positive clinical effects in relatively short time period.

ABSTRACT The esthetic restoration of severely mutilated primary anterior teeth has for a long time been a challenge for the pediatric dentist, not only because of the available materials and techniques, but also because the children who require such restorations are usually among the youngest and least manageable group of patients. This case report describes the challenging task of treating a three-year-old early childhood caries patient with mutilated maxillary incisors with composite resin using a custom made post made with 0.7 mm wire and posteriors where endodontic treatment has been done and stainless steel crown has been placed.

We report a case of primary adenocarcinoma of the terminal ileum, which presented with clinical, radiologic and surgical findings indistinguishable from Crohn's disease. The age of the patient and the rapidly progressing symptoms were the only preoperative clues to the diagnosis of an occult malignancy. Frozen sections of an intraoperative biopsy established the correct diagnosis and led to a radical change in the treatment. This is the third report of adenocarcinoma of the small bowel simulating Crohn's disease.

Syphilis is a rare but increasing disease. Due to changing sexual habits, presentation of oral manifestations may rise. Since syphilis may mimic other oral manifestations, diagnoses can be difficult. Clinicians need to be aware that ambiguous oral manifestations may in fact be caused by oral syphilis. Here, we present a case of extended diagnostic delay highlighting the importance of consulting an expert in infectious diseases in case of obscure oral lesions not responding to standard treatment. Despite seven visits to six different medical doctors, a patient who presented with oral syphilis was continuously misdiagnosed. After 6 months of increasing complaints and deteriorating severity of disease, the patient was referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon where the correct diagnosis was determined and proper treatment initiated.

Supernumerary Ovary is a rare incidental diagnosis, which is on the rise due to modern imaging modalities and advent of laparoscopy in Gynecology. It has various clinical implications. It can present like Endometrioma, Fibroma or as papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma. Removal of this additional ovary tends to stay in dilemma, because its follicles can be used in the treatment of infertility and it has malignant potential. Hence, correct diagnosis and prompt decision making is necessary based on the patient age and parity. As in our case, a nulligravida presented with torsion of the ovarian cyst. During Laparoscopic procedure, we noticed that this pathology was from the third ovary as in this case Supernumerary ovary. The removal of the ovary was not done as this patient was undergoing treatment for infertility. Weighing the benefits over risks, patient was counselled for proper follow-up and removal of this Supernumerary ovary following completion of family. All gynecologists should be aware of this rare condition due to its clinical implications and its appropriate management. Keywords: Supernumerary Ovary, Ovarian Torsion, Malignant potential, Fertility, Incidental diagnosis
