A Case Report of Carcinoma ex Pleomorphic Adenoma
Get PDFCarcinoma ex-pleomorphic nonmalignant tumour (Ca ex PA, CXPA) is a rare, aggressive, poorly understood malignancy of the exocrine gland. The clinical findings typical of this neoplasm embrace history of a slow growing, ulcerated, painless mass that enlarges speedily. The current definition of Ca ex PA became widely accepted in the second half of the twentieth century. It is uncommon, having a prevalence rate of 5.6 cases per 100,000 malignant neoplasms and a yearly incidence rate of 0.17 tumours per 1 million persons in the world. The cancer is found predominantly in the sixth to eighth decades of life and is slight female predilection. 
Brief Case Report: Alveolar Dehiscence in a 20 Year Old Male Patient
Get PDFThe two main alveolar defects are: dehiscence and fenestration, which are quite commonly observed and this brief case report describes Alveolar Dehiscence in a 20 Year Old Male Patient and its subsequent treatment
Self-Ligating Brackets: A Review
Get PDFSelf- ligating brackets are ligature less bracket systems that have a mechanical device into the bracket to close off the edgewise slot. These brackets secure passive or active ligation mechanism that ensures consistent full bracket engagement. Reduced friction between archwire and bracket allows more rapid tooth movement. This results in good control of tooth position through an adequately dimensioned bracket. A review of self-ligation in general has been highlighted in this article
Frictional Keratosis of the Tongue: A Case Report
Get PDFFrictional keratosis is a reactive lesion that shows white lesion in the oral mucosa commonly associated with sharp margins of a broken tooth or ill-fitting dentures, it can be diagnosed by good history taking and good examination sometimes a biopsy should be taken and it is treated by removing the cause. It is also a common oral traumatic white lesion
Esthetic Management of Midline Diastema by Combined Surgical and Prosthetic Approach
Get PDFMaxillary midline diastemas are a common esthetic problem that dentists must treat. Many innovative therapies have been used, varying from restorative procedures to surgery (frenectomies) and orthodontics. The need for treatment is mainly attributed to esthetic and psychological reasons, rather than functional ones. Present case report is about 34 year old female patient whose midline diastema was managed by surgical and prosthetic approach
Paget’s Disease of Maxilla: A Case Report
Get PDFPaget disease of bone (PDB) is an idiopathic, chronic progressive disease of the bone, characterized by disordered pattern of bone resorption and formation. It has been observed to manifest itself as both monostotic and polyostotic disease. The scientific literature does not report a lot of cases on the incidence of this disease involving the jaws. In India, however a few cases have been reported in the recent times. Paget’s disease manifests itself as an asymptomatic disorder until it progresses onto the advanced stage where it becomes painful. Thus, its diagnosis on radiographs in the early stage is of paramount importance in order to deter its complications which may not only end up in disability but also can be fatal to life
Focal Epithelial Hyperplasia: A Rare Case Report
Get PDFFocal epithelial hyperplasia is a rare entity of oral mucosa induced by Human Papilloma virus type 13 and 32. It was described by Estrada in 1956 within a group of Colombian Caramanda Indians. In Latin America it is called Multifocal Papilloma virus induced epithelial hyperplasia. It is common in younger age groups. Generally it is very rare in Asia. Here we report a case of 32 year old male who came with a complaint of burning sensation for past 6 months. The lesion was diagnosed as Focal epithelial hyperplasia according to clinical and Histopathological features. Dental clinicians should be aware of these lesions with a careful clinical and Histopathological observation under definitive diagnosis
Fibro-Epithelial Polyp: Case Report with Literature Review
Get PDFOral fibroma is the most common benign soft tissue tumor caused due to continuous trauma from sharp cusp of teeth or faulty dental restoration. It presents as sessile or occasionally pedunculated painless swelling which can be soft to firm in consistency. Its incidence occurs mostly during third to fifth decade and shows preference for female. Its occurrence corresponds with intraoral areas that are prone to trauma such as the tongue, buccal mucosa and labial mucosa, lip, gingiva. Even with conservative surgical excision, the lesion may recur until the source of continuous irritation persists. This article presents a case of large size oral fibroma on left alveolar region associated with ulceration along with literature review
Ameloblastic Fibroma Associated With Impacted 3rd Molar: A Case Report
Get PDFAmeloblastic fibroma is an uncommon mixed neoplasm of odontogenic origin with a relative frequency between 1.5 – 4.5%. It can occur either in the mandible or maxilla, but predominantly seen in the posterior region of the mandible. It occurs in the first two decades of life. Most of the times it is associated with tooth enclosure, causing a delay in eruption or altering the dental eruption sequence. The common clinical manifestation is a slow growing painless swelling and is detected during routine radiographic examination. There is controversy in the mode of treatment, whether conservative or aggressive. Here we reported a 38 year old male patient referred for evaluation of painless swelling on the right posterior region of the mandible associated with clinically missing 3rd molar. The lesion was completely enucleated under general anesthesia along with the extraction of impacted molar
Oral Cancer and HPV Connection: A Review
Get PDFHPV is the leading cause of oropharyngeal cancers and a few oral cavity cancers with increasing mortality across the globe. The risk factors for oral cancer are well known. Factors like tobacco chewing, smoking, alcohol consumption and actinic radiation have been extensively studied and clinically validated. However , Recently HPV has been shown to be a significant risk factor for oral and oropharyngeal cancers. The HPV family contains around 200 strains but it is important to note that only nine out of them are high risk and associated with cancers. Amongst them HPV16 is most strongly related with oral cancer. HPV associated cancers are different from cancers originating from other etiologies and thus , require a novel multidisciplinary treatment approach. The article is a review of Molecular Biology , Risk Factors ,Clinical aspects ,Diagnosis ,and Treatment of HPV associated Oral cancer
