Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Dentistry at a tertiary care hospital from April to June 2023.

Mirror-image tooth pain referred from superficial masseter muscle - a case report.

Toothaches are the main reason patients seek dental care, but not all pain in the orofacial region originates from the teeth. Some toothaches may stem from musculoskeletal, neuropathic, or neurovascular issues. Additionally, certain toothaches may not be tooth-related, but rather, referred from nearby orofacial structures, where the site and source of pain differ.

Perioperative management of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated antiphospholipid syndrome undergoing mandibular third molar surgery.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune condition characterised by recurrent venous or arterial thrombosis and pregnancy complications, with persistent antiphospholipid autoantibodies. APS is often found in conjunction with other autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE-associated APS patients may require dental procedures like tooth extractions.

Inflammatory Dentigerous Cyst in a 10-year-old Child Treated by Marsupialization: A Case Report.

Aim: To describe the successful eruption of an unerupted premolar associated with a dentigerous cyst without the use of any appliances.

Background: Inflammatory dentigerous cyst is a variant of dentigerous cyst occurring in the mixed dentition due to stimulation of the reduced enamel epithelium of a developing permanent tooth by periapical inflammation from its carious, nonvital deciduous precursor. Marsupialization is the preferred treatment to preserve the permanent tooth.

Lobular Capillary Hemangioma in a Young Child: Diagnostic Dilemma and Management.

Pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma) is a common reactive tumour-like lesion of the oral cavity arising in response to various stimuli such as chronic local irritation, drug intake, and hormonal changes. The clinical features are similar to other reactive oral lesions such as peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) and therefore the definitive diagnosis depends on histopathologic evaluation. We report a case of a three-year-old Indian boy presenting with a three-month history of a 3.
