Subjective Sensation

During the rehabilitation of patients with the atrophic maxilla, the dental medicine doctor may faced before the challenge of achieving the exact placing of the intraosseous implants. We would like to present you the case of a 33-year woman with a prosthetic of implants after a Rehermanns plastic. The clinical and radiographic examinations show an absorbed maxilla with the horizontal and vertical bone deficit. The patient used a placeholder till the complete bone restoration after the surgical intervention. She did not want a final rehabilitation of the defect using a bridge-like structure due to the necessary intervention of the teeth neigboring the defect. The decision about the placing of intraosseous implants was made after the CBCT examination. The control examinations made after 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years show satisfying results in regard to the function and aesthetics, and also the lack of subjective sensation for the patient.

Therapeutic Procedures

Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonosis caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. AE is primarily localised in the liver. Echinococcus multilocularis imitates tumour-like behaviour. It can metastasise through blood or lymphatic system to distant organs. Echinococcosis often remains asymptomatic due to its long incubation period and indistinct symptoms. Clinical symptoms are determined by the parasite’s location. Diagnosis of echinococcosis is based on medical history, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, serology results, imaging methods and final histology findings. Surgical removal of the cyst with a safety margin, followed by chemotherapy is the therapeutic method of choice. Case report: We present a case report of alveolar echinococcosis in a thirty-year-old female patient in whom we surgically removed multiple liver foci of alveolar echinococcosis. The disease recurred after two years and required another surgical intervention. Conclusions: Alveolar echinococcosis is a disease with a high potential for a complete cure provided that it is diagnosed early and that the recommended therapeutic procedures are strictly adhered to.

Abstract Background Infection after the penile prosthesis can be devastating to both the patient and surgeon with various complications and consequences. After introduction of antibiotic-coated implants, the rate of infection has dramatically decreased, but still we see uncommon organisms causing infection. We present a first case report of penile prosthesis infection by brucellosis due to raw milk ingestion. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of brucellosis penile prosthesis infection. Case presentation We present a first case report of penile prosthesis infection by brucellosis due to raw milk ingestion. A 75-year-old, diabetic male patient presented with penile prosthesis infection 5 months post-penile exchange surgery due to mechanical malfunctioning of 2-piece penile prosthesis which was inserted 11 years ago. The initial treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics did not subside the infection. After diagnosis of brucellosis, the antibiotic was changed to anti-brucellosis (Rifampicin + Tetracycline). The patient improved dramatically and was discharged home with smooth follow-up course. Conclusion Brucellosis can cause infection of penile prosthesis and can be treated with anti-brucellosis antibiotics without necessitating surgical intervention and removal of prosthesis.

Gingival overgrowth is the enlargement of gingival tissues and has various underlying aetiological factors. This case report highlights the multifactorial aetiology of gingival overgrowth for a patient who was prescribed an immunosuppressive strategy following renal transplantation, had poor levels of oral hygiene and a diet deficient in fruit and vegetables. The report highlights the importance of a detailed assessment to identify all underlying factors and demonstrates how a referral to the specialist services for gingival overgrowth led to a diagnosis of vitamin C deficiency. It also illustrates how both patient engagement and a conservative cause-related therapy can achieve a satisfactory resolution without any surgical intervention. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case report highlights the importance of a detailed assessment to diagnose all relevant underlying aetiological factors involved in the development of gingival overgrowth. It also illustrates how both patient engagement and a conservative cause-related therapy can achieve a satisfactory resolution of gingival overgrowth without any surgical intervention.

Crohn’S Diseases

Crohn's disease may affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract; however, isolated duodenal involvement is rather rare. It still remains a complex clinical entity with a controversial management of the disease. Initially, patients with duodenal Crohn' s disease (DCD) are managed with a combination of antiacid and immunosuppressive therapy. However, medical treatment fails in the majority of DCD patients, and surgical intervention is required in case of complicated disease. Options for surgical management of complicated DCD include bypass, resection, or stricturoplasty procedures. In this paper, we reported a 33-year-old male patient, who was diagnosed with isolated duodenal Crohn’s diseases, and reviewed the surgical options in the literature.

The British Society of Periodontology, in collaboration with the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry, published guidelines in 2012 for the periodontal screening of children and adolescents. The guidelines recommended a simplified Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) of six teeth for children aged 7–17 years. This is further modified for ages 7–11, using codes 0–2 from the 0–4 BPE adult chart. An unusual case of an 11-year-old boy who attended his general dental practitioner for a check-up is reported. Periodontal screening led to the detection of 13-mm pockets associated with the two mandibular first permanent molars that required surgical intervention and multidisciplinary care. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case report highlights the importance of paediatric periodontal screening in both primary and secondary care.

Clinical Scenarios

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI), defined as gas within the bowel wall, is an uncommon radiographic sign which can represent a wide spectrum of diseases and a variety of underlying diagnoses. Because its etiology can vary greatly, management of PI ranges from surgical intervention to outpatient observation (see, Greenstein et al. (2007), Morris et al. (2008), and Peter et al. (2003)). Since PI is infrequently encountered, clinicians may be unfamiliar with its diagnosis and management; this unfamiliarity, combined with the potential necessity for urgent intervention, may place the clinician confronted with PI in a precarious medical scenario. We present a case of pneumatosis intestinalis in a patient who posed a particularly challenging diagnostic dilemma for the primary team. Furthermore, we explore the differential diagnosis prior to revealing the intervention offered to our patient; our concise yet inclusive differential and thought process for rapid evaluation may be of benefit to clinicians presented with similar clinical scenarios.
