A Rare Case of Low-Grade B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma of the Lower Lip Mimicking a Mucocele.

In a clinical context, oral lymphomas are very uncommon and frequently challenging to identify. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are a diverse category of lymphomas that were formerly believed to be formed from B-cells located in the marginal zone, which surrounds B-cell follicles and the surrounding lymphoepithelium. Extranodal organs like the stomach, thyroid, and large salivary glands are where they most frequently appear.

Novel Technique for the Surgical Management of Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Upper Lip.

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is one of the most common benign lesions of the salivary glands, with a majority of them occurring in the parotid gland. PA has origin from the epithelial and mesenchymal elements and can arise from both major and minor salivary glands. Among minor salivary glands, the palate is the most commonly affected site, followed by lips, cheeks, gingiva, the floor of the mouth, and tongue.

A Rare Case of Hormone-Induced Plasma Cell Granuloma of the Gingiva.

Plasma cell granuloma (PCG), also known as inflammatory pseudotumor, is of unknown etiopathogenesis. It commonly presents in the lungs and can also occur in the liver, kidney, brain, and heart. PCG is rare in the oral cavity and even rarer in the gingiva.

A Rare Case of Unilateral Impacted Permanent Maxillary Canine Tooth in an Inverted Position.

The probability of occurrence of impacted permanent maxillary canine tooth is 2% and, in most cases, is an incidental finding. The management options for them vary from no treatment, surgical exposure, and orthodontic traction into dental arch, surgical removal, and autotransplantation. Although orthodontic traction into the dental arch is the ideal treatment of choice, it cannot be achieved in permanent maxillary canines impacted in unfavorable or aberrant positions.

Controversies in the Management of Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis Using Distraction Osteogenesis - A Systematic Review.

Background: The three commonly employed sequences of distraction osteogenesis (DO) in the management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis with dentofacial deformities include post-arthroplastic distraction osteogenesis (PAD), simultaneous arthroplastic distraction osteogenesis (SAD), and pre-arthroplastic distraction osteogenesis (PrAD).

Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to compare the effectiveness of various sequences of DO in the management of TMJ ankylosis with micrognathia/and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
