Recurrent Labial Herpes Simplex in Pediatric Dentistry: Low-level Laser Therapy as a Treatment Option.

Recurrent labial herpes simplex is a pathology of viral origin that is frequently observed in children. The signs and symptoms are uncomfortable and, in many cases, the efficacy of treatment is unproven. However, several studies have demonstrated good results from the use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), primarily due to acceleration of the healing process and pain relief, which make it a promising resource for use with this pathology.

Solitary median maxillary central incisor syndrome and holoprosencephaly: a case report.

Solitary median maxillary central incisor syndrome (SMMCIS) is a rare anomaly that affects 1 in 50,000 live births. Of unknown etiology, SMMCIS is characterized by the presence of a single central incisor located on the maxillary midline and may be associated with developmental defects and systemic alterations. SMMCIS also is associated with short stature, mild forms of deviation in craniofacial morphology, and intellectual disability.
