The Management of Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma: A Case Presentation.

One of the most frequent conditions found in the oral cavity includes reactive lesions. Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a prevalent condition characterized by an overgrowth, originating from the gingival tissue, periodontal ligament, and periosteum. The condition manifests as a small mucosal nodule and can be difficult to accurately identify since it resembles other lesions.

Diode Laser Intended Frenotomy Procedure for High Frenal Attachment Causing Gingival Recession: A Case Presentation.

The alveolar mucous membrane, the gingiva, and the underlying bone are fixed to the lip and cheek by the frenum, a fold in the mucous membrane. The surgical process known as a frenectomy involves completely removing the frenum that connects it to the bone. Traditional frenectomy involves using a blade, while a more recent technique is frenectomy assisted by a laser.

Postoperative Tongue Exercises for Ankyloglossia Following Lingual Frenectomy: A Case Report.

Ankyloglossia, also named tongue-tie, is an innate developmental anomaly where the lingual frenum appears anchored to the sublingual space. Even though it is not considered a major congenital condition, it can create a variety of problems, such as difficulty in feeding newborns, difficulty in mastication, speech problems, poor oral hygiene, malocclusion, and hindrance in social interaction because of restricted tongue movements. Lingual frenectomy is the treatment of choice.

Comprehensive Classification System for Localized Alveolar Bone Deficiencies in Treatment Planning for Dental Implants: A Proposed Classification and Prevalence Study.

Introduction The current classification of alveolar bone defects remains ambiguous. This study aims to classify and evaluate the prevalence of bone deformities using a comprehensive classification system for localized alveolar bone deficiencies in dental implant treatment planning. Methods This cross-sectional prospective clinical trial included 698 participants (353 females and 345 males), patients with localized alveolar bone deficiencies.

Asymptomatic Symmetric Bilateral Mandibular Tori: A Case Study.

Tori are reactive or developmental localized overgrowths of alveolar bone that are not cancerous. A thin, weakly vascularized mucosa surrounds a densely cortical, low-density mass of bone marrow known as tori or exostosis. Tori are more frequently observed in middle age.

Double Arch Gingival Depigmentation With a Diode Laser for an Aesthetically Concerned Female: A Case Presentation.

The color of the gingiva is one of the gingival properties that affects soft tissue aesthetics and the general look of a smile. Demands for a pleasing smile that includes a healthy dentition and an aesthetically enhanced gingival component are rising.

Electrocautery-Assisted Management of Aberrant Frena Causing Midline Diastema: A Case Report.

Various oral complications such as gingival recession, restricted lip movement and tooth malalignment are the result of an abnormal frenum. Management of these types of frenum is either frenectomy or frenotomy. Methods for performing frenectomies include the conventional scalpel technique, Z-plasty, Miller's technique, V-Y plasty, lasers, and electrocautery.

Management of Aberrant Frenum and Gingival Overgrowth in Orthodontic Patients: A Case Report.

The frenum, a fold of mucous membrane, connects the lip and cheek to the alveolar mucosa, gingiva, and underlying periosteum. When the frenum is positioned excessively near the gingival margin, it has the potential to compromise gingival health, impeding plaque control efforts and inducing muscular stress. A frenectomy is a commonly employed corrective measure for anomalous frenum attachments.

Management Using V-Y Plasty Approach for Abnormal Frenal Attachment: A Case Report.

The mucous membrane fold, which facilitates the attachment of the gingiva, alveolar mucosa, and the periosteum surrounding the lips and cheek, is known as the frenum. The frenal attachment at the gingival or papillary level may comprise periodontal health due to difficulty with plaque adherence or muscle pull. The management of such aberrant frenal attachment becomes necessary to avoid the associated future problems, such as midline diastema and periodontal attachment loss, which might lead to aesthetic problems and tooth mobility.

Management of Aberrant Frenum by Z-plasty Procedure: A Case Report.

During or after the orthodontic closure, persistent diastemas are frequently the result of a high frenum attachment. A labial frenectomy is a complete removal of the frenum attachment, which typically attaches to the space between the upper two anterior teeth and the centre of the upper lip. It might be required if there is space between the teeth due to a frenulum positioned too high on the gums.

Clinical Implications of Probiotics in Oral and Periodontal Health: A Comprehensive Review.

Pain in the orofacial region or within the tooth is one of the most common complaints patients report to a dental office. An efficient practitioner must have adequate knowledge and tools to address and remedy the problem. Pain control in dentistry has a rich history and learning about it gives an insight into how the current modalities being used came into existence.

Management of Peripheral Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma Associated With Maxillary Anterior Teeth: A Case Report.

The peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma (PCOF) lesion primarily affects females in their second decade of living. These lesions are more frequently associated with the gingival margin, the anterior surface of the molars, and the maxilla. On clinical examination, PCOF typically appears as a well-differentiated, slowly expanding gingival mass in the interdental papilla region that is less than 2 cm in size.

Conventional Scalpel and Diode Laser Approach for the Management of Traumatic Fibroma.

An oral fibroma is a benign scar-like reaction frequently resulting from chronic mouth irritation. It is also called an oral polyp, fibrous nodule, localised intraoral fibrous hyperplasia, and traumatic fibroma. Chronic irritation from things like biting one's lips or cheek, orthodontic treatments, rubbing against a hard tooth, or wearing dentures or other dental prostheses is frequently the cause.

Management of Orthodontic-Induced Gingival Enlargement: A Case Report.

The aetiology of gingival enlargement (GE) is highly distinct. Plaque-induced gingival inflammation can be the sole reason for gingival enlargement. Poor dental hygiene, irritation from anatomical variations, and ineffective restorative and orthodontic appliances are all factors that encourage the formation and retention of plaque.

Management of Tongue-Tie Using Diode Laser for Speech Clarity: A Case Report.

A congenital condition called ankyloglossia, or tongue tie, is characterized by an excessively short or tight lingual frenum that restricts the tongue's movement and flexibility. Although ankyloglossia, or tongue tie, is not a serious sign, it can cause a variety of challenges, such as difficulty with newborn feeding, speech problems, and many mechanical and social problems since there are restricted tongue movements, such as protrusion of the tongue. It is recommended to get a lingual frenectomy to treat ankyloglossia.

Mucous Extravasation Cyst Associated With the Lower Lip and Its Management: A Case Report.

A 15-year-old female patient was reported with swelling on the right side of the lower lip for 15 days. A provisional diagnosis of mucocele was obtained based on the patient's history and clinical examination. Under all aseptic conditions and administration of local anesthetic, surgical mucocele removal was done using a scalpel.

Ligaplants: Uprising Regimen in the Glebe of Implant Dentistry.

A dental implant is an alloplastic framework inserted into the bone, either straight through the alveolar bone or beneath the mucosa or periosteum, to support and hold a permanent or removable dental prosthesis. Osseointegration is a striking phenomenon in which bone directly opposes the implant surface without any interposing collagen or fibroblastic matrix. Although titanium metallic implants were the subject of "osseointegration" at first, it is now used to refer to any biomaterial that can osseointegrate.

Bicalcium Phosphate as an Asset in Regenerative Therapy.

After a loss of a tooth, alveolar bone resorption is immutable, leaving the area devoid of sufficient bone quality and mass for a successful and satisfactory implant or any other dental treatment. To treat this problem of irreversible bone loss, bone grafting is the primary solution and a well-accepted technique. The use of bone grafting procedures has increased in recent years.
