The loosely structured periodontal ligament and low mineralized bone surrounding erupting teeth provide minimal resistance to an extrusive force. The maxillary central incisors are the most frequently avulsed due to trauma. The prognosis of replanted teeth is affected by extra-alveolar period and conditions. Implant-supported restorations are contraindicated in adolescent patients with poor prognosis traumatized teeth. Autotransplantation of premolar to the anterior region provides a viable treatment alternative.<br/>This case report describes the autotransplantation of premolars and esthetic rehabilitation in a teenage patient with traumatized incisors, poor oral hygiene, and severe crowding. Comprehensive and long-term treatments were performed to improve complex and challenging oral problems.

Inversion of premolars is an extremely rare condition, which usually requires extraction. This case report describes the inversion of an impacted maxillary second premolar in an 11-year-old male, and the multidisciplinary treatment approach for bringing the tooth into a normal position within the arch. In order to provide sufficient space for surgical reimplantation of the tooth, the mesially-drifted neighbouring maxillary first molar was first endodontically treated, followed by orthodontic distalization of the tooth. The inverted tooth was removed surgically and reimplanted without the use of splints for stabilization. After a 12-month follow-up period, the tooth maintained its vitality without any root resorption. Reimplantation of impacted inverted premolars can be a viable treatment alternative to extraction

Ludwig's Angina

Ludwig’s angina (LA) is a rapidly spreading and potentially life-threatening infection having an odontogenic infection as the most common source. It involves the floor of the mouth and neck. Modernization in medical care has made this entity rare and of low mortality at the present but it is still feared as a lethal entity due to rapidly progressive airway obstruction that follows. Here we report a case of a 15-year-old male who suffered from LA. Presenting symptoms and findings of the examination helped in the clinical diagnosis. Immediate intubation, use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and treatment of complications aided the patient’s recovery. LA should be considered for differential diagnosis in the case of neck swelling especially in those having a history of poor oral hygiene and recent dental procedures. Management of LA and its complications should always involve doctors from multiple disciplines.

Purpose The French Adjuvant Study Group 05 (FASG-05) showed that fluorouracil 500 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2, and epirubicin 100 mg/m2 (FEC 100) was superior to the same regimen with epirubicin 50 mg/m2 (FEC 50) in terms of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in adjuvant treatment of early breast cancer. We report 10-year data on efficacy, and long-term side effects for FASG-05. Patients and Methods We randomly assigned 565 patients to treatment with FEC 50 or FEC 100 after surgery. Postmenopausal patients also received tamoxifen for 3 years, and almost all patients (96%) also received radiotherapy. Results Median follow-up was 110 months. The 10-year DFS was 45.3% (95% CI, 41.9% to 48.7%) with FEC 50 and 50.7% (95% CI, 47.3% to 54.1%) with FEC 100 (Wilcoxon P = .036; log-rank P = .08). The 10-year OS was 50.0% (95% CI, 46.7% to 53.3%) with FEC 50 and 54.8% (95% CI, 51.3% to 58.3%) with FEC 100 (Wilcoxon P = .038; log-rank P = .05). Delayed cardiac toxicity (before relapse) occurred in four patients (1.5%) in the FEC 50 arm and three patients (1.1%) in the FEC 100 arm. Cardiac toxicity after relapse occurred in six (4.3%) and five (4.1%) patients treated with FEC 50 and FEC 100, respectively. Conclusion Treatment with adjuvant FEC 100 demonstrated superior DFS and OS versus FEC 50 at 10 years of follow-up. This survival advantage was not offset by long-term complications such as cardiac toxicity and second malignancy. Given the risk-benefit ratio, FEC 100 is a more optimal regimen for long-term survival in patients with poor prognosis.

Tissue engineering in hair regrowth aims to develop innovative and not-invasive procedures to advance the hair regrowth. A placebo-controlled, randomized, evaluator-blinded, half-head group study to compare hair regrowth with micrografts containing human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HF-MSCs) vs. placebo was reported. After 58 weeks, 27 patients displayed in the targeted area an increase of hair count and hair density, respectively, of 18.0 hairs per 0.65 cm2 and 23.3 hairs per cm2 compared with baseline, while the control area displayed a mean decrease of 1.1 hairs per 0.65 cm2 and 0.7 hairs per cm2 (control vs. treatment: P<0.0001). After 26 months, 6 patients revealed dynamic hair loss and were retreated. More broad controlled examinations are required. HF-MSCs contained in micrografts may represent a safe and viable treatment alternative against hair loss.

ABSTRACT The long term success of dental implants likely requires the maintenance of healthy periimplant tissues because the soft tissue seal around implants is best when the surrounding mucosa is not inflamed. For this reason, good oral hygiene and regular professional care are essential to maintaining implants. However, despite many years of experience with the implants, there is no standard protocol which defined the most effective regimen for long term implant maintenance. This is a case report of a 63 year old female patient who presented to our clinics with the typical characteristic features of periimplantitis. A special emphasis on the non surgical management of such patient and need of periodic recall for long term maintenance has been highlighted in this case report which will be beneficial to general practioneers as well as periodontologists in management of such patients.

Patients With Poor Prognosis

PURPOSE A series of 53 patients with poor-prognosis epithelial ovarian cancer treated with high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) followed by hematopoietic rescue was retrospectively studied from the day of diagnosis for toxicity and long-term survival analysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were treated with surgery followed by cisplatin combination chemotherapy. After second-look operation (SLO), HDC was administered: 23 patients received melphalan (140 mg/m2 on day 1) and 30 patients received a combination of carboplatin (400 mg/m2 on days 1 to 4) and cyclophosphamide (1.6 g/m2 on days 1 to 4). After HDC, autologous stem-cell transplantation was performed for hematologic support. RESULTS One patient died of cardiac failure after HDC, but the acute toxicity was acceptable for the other patients. With a median follow-up of 81.5 months, the 5-year overall survival rate for the 53 patients was 59.9% and the disease-free survival (DFS) rate at 5 years was 23.6%. Twenty-four patients (45.3%) were alive, 12 with no evidence of disease and 12 with recurrent disease. The best results were achieved in 19 patients with pathologic complete response at SLO (74.2% 5-year overall survival; 32.8% 5-year DFS). CONCLUSION HDC followed by autologous stem-cell support is a well-tolerated therapeutic approach for patients with poor-prognosis ovarian carcinoma. In this report, the 59.9% survival of 53 patients at 5 years must be compared to the 20% to 30% 5-year survival observed after conventional therapy. These results should be confirmed by an ongoing prospective randomized trial.
