Rare Association of Ankyloblepharon Filiforme Adnatum (AFA) with Cleft Palate - Case Report.

The aim of this article is to discuss about rare representation of ankyloblepharon (an established chromosomal anomaly with aberration of p53 inherited as an autosomal dominant trait) with cleft of palate without any other feature of ectodermal dysplasia. The need to surgically address ankyloblepharon in order to avoid complications is also discussed.

The Difficult Route to Glottis in Cleft Patients Simplified.

Introduction: Cleft lip with or without palate is one of the most common craniofacial anomalies worldwide. Airway problems in children with cleft lip and palate were well recognized since very early times.

Objective: The aim of this technical note is to describe a unique method of performing direct laryngoscopy in children with cleft lip and palate by using a palatal obturator to cover the alveolar and palatal defect in these patients.

Taenia Solium: A Rare Expression in Oral Cavity.

Cysticercosis is a helminthic infection caused by the larval stage of pork tapeworm, Taenia solium. The worm requires different hosts during its different stages of development. Humans are the definitive hosts and harbor the adult worms, while pigs harbor the larval stage and act as the intermediate hosts.

Prevalence of True Median Cleft of Upper Lip as Reflected from a Small Central Indian Population: Attempt to Report and Review the True Median Cleft of Upper Lip.

Aims And Objectives: The median clefts of the facial skeleton and soft tissue are least in occurrence. Here we have attempted to analyze and review the prevalence of median clefts in our center.

Materials And Methods: All the patients who reported with congenital deformities from January 2013 to June 2016 were included in the study.

Assessing the association of taurodontism with numeric dentition anomalies in an adult central Indian population.

Aim: To study the association between taurodontism and numeric anomalies in adult population.

Materials And Methods: Out of 1,012; 946 panoramic radiographs and dental records were retrospectively assessed to determine the presence of dental agenesis and supernumerary and taurodont teeth.

Results: Taurodontism of one or more teeth was observed in 164 cases (97 females and 67 males).

A large multifocal aggressive osteoblastoma of mandible: an immunohistochemistry case study report.

Aggressive osteoblastoma (AO) is a benign osteoblastic tumor which is rare in the head and neck region. Clinical and histo-logical features are therefore overlap with other benign and low-grade malignant tumors. The aim of this article is to report and discuss the differential diagnosis of an aggressive osteoblastoma in the mandible.

A New Trend in Recording Subgingival Tissue around an Implant While Making a Direct Abutment Impression.

A successful implant-supported restoration must provide adequate function and esthetics. Osseointegrated implants have given an alternative choice for patients who have lost their teeth. Most commonly encountered problems while doing a transfer from patient to the master cast in restoring implant-supported crowns are an uneven distribution of occlusal loads and undue torquing forces on the various elements of implant.

A sectional-splinting technique for impressing multiple implant units by eliminating the use of an open tray.

Since the inception of root form implant dentistry by P-I Branemark in the early 1980's, so many technical advances have been put forward by several authors. However, the open tray impression technique is still performed for impressing multiple implant fixtures as it was first described in the original Branemark procedure manual. The most critical aspect for a successful implant-supported restoration is the passive and an accurate fit of superstructures to avoid preload and loading stresses.

Atypical case of primary intraosseous adenoid cystic carcinoma of mandible.

The Primary central salivary gland neoplasms of the mandible are infrequent. Their clinical and radiographic features may be similar to odontogenic tumors, which are otherwise common. Their accurate diagnosis becomes troublesome.

Nonsyndromic familial oligodontia with multiple dens invaginatus: a case report of an unusual case.

Oligodontia is a rare dental anomaly with a prevalence of 0.3% in permanent teeth and much less frequency in the primary dentition. Familial oligodontia represents an absence of varying numbers of primary and/or secondary teeth as an isolated trait.

A direct investment method of closed two-piece hollow bulb obturator.

Maxillary defects occur due to surgical treatment of benign and malignant tumors, congenital malformation, and trauma. Prosthetic rehabilitation in such patients is influenced by the size and location of the defect. The most common of all intraoral defects are seen in the maxilla, in the form of an opening into the maxillary sinus and nasopharynx.
