Ameloblastic Fibro-odontoma - A Case Report of Two Uncommon Cases.

Rationale: Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare mixed odontogenic tumour with a preferential location in the posterior mandible and with a variety of radiological aspects. We report two clinical cases of AFO in two rare locations and with unusual radiological aspects.

Patient Concerns: The first patient is a 37-year-old female with an asymptomatic intraoral swelling located in the anterior mandibular.

Rosai-Dorfman disease of the oral cavity.

First described by J Rosai and R F Dorfman in 1969, Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a benign, self-limiting histiocytosis of unknown etiology. It is usually seen in the first two decades of life. The most frequent clinical presentation is painless, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy accompanied by fever, weight loss, and an elevated ESR.

Noncalcifying type of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor: A rare case report and literature review.

Key Clinical Message: There has been a recent spike in reporting of noncalcifying variants of CEOT with the WHO 2022 classification of head and neck tumors. The present case describes a rare histopathological variant of CEOT of which a handful of cases have been reported.

Abstract: This work aimed to report a rare case of noncalcifying type of Pindborg Tumor involving the right mandible.

Conservative management of dentigerous cyst in children: Report of two clinical cases.

The dentigerous cyst is the second most common odontogenic. The prevalence rates ranging from 0.8% to 3.

Oral erythema multiforme related to bronchodilators intake: A report of a case.

Erythema multiforme is a reactive inflammatory mucocutaneous disorder. It is classified into three groups: erythema multiforme minor, major, and oral erythema multiforme. The oral mucosa is mostly involved.

Herpes simplex virus infection: Management of primary oral lesions in children.

Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis (PHGS) represents the most observed clinical feature of primary herpes infection with the simplex virus (HSV). It is often caused by HSV-1 and affects children most of the time. Unlike, the majority of primary HSV infections that is asymptomatic.

Compound-complex odontoma: A rare case report.

The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies odontomas as odontogenic tumors, consisting of odontogenic epithelium and ectomesenchyme. They result from developmental abnormalities and, therefore, do not constitute authentic tumors. It is a local malformation that has no growth autonomy.

Epidermoid cyst of the buccal mucosa-An uncommon entity: Case report and literature review.

Epidermoid cyst of the buccal mucosa is rare. Nevertheless, it must be included in the differential diagnosis of swelling in this area. The diagnosis is based on anatomopathological examination.

[The role of piezosurgery in the treatment of a rare case of superinfected cemento-osseous dysplasia caused by actinomyces: a case report].

Cemento-osseous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion affecting the alveolar bone. It is classified into three forms: periapical, focal or florid dysplasia. It is often asymptomatic and fortuitously discovered during a routine radiological examination.

Mucosal coronally positioned flap technique for management of excessive gingival display.

Improvement of smile esthetics is a major goal of modern dentistry. Various treatment modalities have been proposed to correct excessive gingival display, depending on intraoral or extraoral etiologies. This report aimed to document the use of mucosal coronally positioned flap called surgical lip repositioning technique for the management of a gummy smile associated with vertical maxillary excess.

Survey on Tunisian Dentists' Anti-Inflammatory Drugs' Prescription in Dental Practice.

Dentists prescribe several types of drugs such as anti-inflammatory medicines in their practice in order to manage pain. An adequate knowledge of anti-inflammatory drugs' characteristics is mandatory for a reasonable prescription to ensure patients safety. The study aimed to describe dentists' anti-inflammatory drugs prescription in dental practice.

Piezoelectric-Assisted Removal of a Mandibular Cementoossifying Fibroma: An Innovative Technique.

Diagnosis of cementoossifying fibroma is oriented by the clinical and radiological aspects of the lesion. Histology confirms the diagnosis. Treatment is surgical with enucleation-resection depending on the lesion size or wider resection with bone reconstruction in cases of large fibromas.

Gingival Melanin Depigmentation by 808 nm Diode Laser: Report of a Case.

Gingival hyperpigmentation frequently poses an aesthetic problem, especially in patients with gingival smile. This paper presents the use of a 808 nm pulsed diode laser for gingival depigmentation in a 22-year-old male patient, with a frequency of 20,000 Hz, a peak power of 5 W, and a pulse width of 26 microseconds, using a 400 nm flexible optic fiber. The hyperpigmented gingival tissue was removed without bleeding or postoperative pain.

Cone-beam computed tomography exploration and surgical management of palatal, inverted, and impacted mesiodens.

Supernumerary teeth are extra teeth or toothlike structures which may have either erupted or unerupted in addition to the 20 deciduous teeth and the 32 permanent teeth. Mesiodens is one of these located in the midline between the two central incisors. Their presence may give rise to a variety of clinical problems.
