Atypical presentation of oral Burkitt lymphoma in an adult: a case report.

Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma. Oral lesions often are a component of the disseminated disease process that may involve regional lymph nodes or may at times represent the primary extranodal form of the disease. However, isolated oral Burkitt lymphoma in adults is extremely rare.

Facial hematoma of endodontic origin: A case report.

Endodontic treatment is a common procedure in dentistry that consists of elimination of organic tissues, infected debris, and pathogenic bacteria from the canal system by means of mechanical instrumentation associated with abundant disinfecting agents (Haapasalo et al., 2005) [1]. Despite progress with its implementation, dentists may at any time be faced with complications during or after a root canal procedure.

Role of the Pedodentist in the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus infection in children.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a disease described as having significant and frequent oral manifestations with an early onset character. Which could be a very interesting diagnostic clue. The odonto-stomatologist is therefore in the front line to detect the immunodeficiency caused by this pathology, even though the patient may be unaware of his condition or the aggravation of it, as was the case with our patient.

Osteosarcoma of the jaws: A case report.

Introduction: Osteosarcomas of the jaws are very rare accounting for only 6 to 7% of all osteosarcomas and 1% of all head and neck malignancies. The clinicopathological characteristics as well as the radiological characteristics are not specific, which represents a diagnostic dilemma. Indeed, this lesion is often mistaken for benign lesions of the maxillary.

Cystic degeneration in cemento-ossifying fibroma: Diagnosis challenge and conservative management - Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Cemento ossifying fibroma (COF) is an encapsulated lesion that is often found in the mandible of middle-aged females. Cystic degeneration may be associated to several osseous lesion. This particular presentation is not well documented in the jaws.

Coronectomy of mandibular wisdom teeth: A case series.

Introduction And Importance: Coronectomy represents a common procedure performed in oral surgery, mostly involving the lower wisdom teeth when the extraction presents a risk of injury to the inferior alveolar nerve (NAI). The surgical approach can be described as a coronal separation of the tooth and leaving the roots intact in the socket. The result is impressive with the disappearance of the symptomatology at first and especially the root migration, which occurs most frequently in the first 6 months.

Oral manifestations of morphea en plaque: Case report.

Introduction: Morphea, or localized scleroderma, is an inflammatory disease that leads to sclerosis of the skin and underlying tissues due to excessive collagen deposition. Its etiology remains elusive. Morphea also affects oral and perioral tissues, the most common clinical manifestations being facial skin and tongue rigidity.

Coronectomy of third molar: a reduced risk technique for inferior alveolar nerve damage.

Unlabelled: Causing damage to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) when extracting lower third molars is due to the intimate relationship between the nerve and the roots of the teeth. When the proximity radiologic markers between the IAN and the root of the third molars are present, the technique of coronectomy can be proposed as an alternative to extraction to minimize the risk of nerve injury, with minimal complications.

Clinical Relevance: Nerve injury after the extraction of the mandibular third molar is a serious complication.

Surgical management of a cutaneous sinus tract: a case report and review of the literature.

Aim: The purpose of this paper is to present a case involving the surgical management of a cutaneous sinus tract and a literature review.

Background: A cutaneous sinus tract of dental origin may easily be misdiagnosed. Exact diagnosis is necessary in the management of this pathological situation.

Systemic sclerosis. Case report and review of literature.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous rheumatic disease within the scleroderma spectrum of disorders. The systemic forms of scleroderma are most appropriately designated systemic sclerosis. Typical features of the disease include thickening of the skin (scleroderma) and damage to other organs, caused by excessive accumulation of collagen.

Resolution of eosinophilic granuloma after minimal intervention. Case report and review of literature.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), previously known as histiocytosis X, is a rare, proliferative disorder in which the accumulation of pathologic Langerhans cells leads to local tissue infiltration and destruction. The incidence of LCH is estimated to be one case per 200,000 children per year. The role of the dentist is important in early and accurate evaluation, staging and diagnosis of LCH, because it may mimic more common diseases, such as juvenile periodontitis and osteomyelitis.
