The everyday practice of dentistry relies heavily on achieving adequate local anesthesia. Even though the safety record of local anesthetic agents is high, complications do occur. Palate is a favorable site for soft-tissue lesions. Various factors such as direct effects of the drug, blanching of the tissues during injection, relatively poor blood supply, and reactivation of the latent forms of herpes can all promote to tissue ischemia and a lesion in the palate. Among various complications, anesthetic necrotic ulcer is a rare and uncommon condition occurring mostly in the hard palate possibly after a local anesthetic infiltration. The ulceration is often deep and shows spontaneous but delayed healing. If proper treatment is not instituted on time, the necrosis can reach deep into the bone causing sequestrum formation and ultimately leading to palatal perforation. Here, we report a case of palatal perforation in a male patient followed by surgical interventions and follow-up.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRX1), glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and type I collagen (COL1) and the rate of tooth movement comparing 3 accelerated tooth movement (ATM) methods: Corticopuncture (CP), photobiomodulation (PBM) and the combined technique (CP + PBM) on days 1, 3, 7 and 14.
Methods: Orthodontic tooth movement was induced in 24 male Wistar rats. CP procedure included three perforations: two in the palate and one mesial to the molars.

The outbreak of COVID-19 swept massive masses causing rhinocerebral mucormycosis, a fatal mycotic infection, and high mortality among humans. It affects individuals with weakened immune systems, resulting in severe ulcers on the palate or perforation of the palate, accompanied by blackish necrotic tissue and exposure of underlying bone. Some of the key symptoms include rhinorrhea, facial swelling, pain in the orofacial region, varying degrees of fever, headaches, blurred vision due to proptosis, and involvement of the contents of the orbit.

Root canal perforations are frequent but critical complications in endodontic treatments, which can pose a risk of irreversible damage to the affected tooth. These perforations typically occur during root canal preparation or endodontic post placement, presenting significant therapeutic challenges. The main objective in the management of such complications is to seal the perforation, thus preventing bacterial invasion and tooth loss.

The steady rise in cocaine consumption, particularly in its snorted form, has led to the increased incidence of cocaine-induced midline destructive lesions (CIMDLs), a severe condition resulting from chronic cocaine use that leads to significant tissue destruction in the nasal and palatal regions. Four patients with CIMDLs are presented, all characterized by nasopalatine perforation. Each patient reported a spontaneous onset of tissue loss in the hard palate near the midline, with the affected area ranging from 2.

The present case report evaluates the surgical management of a large periapical lesion with palatal perforation using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and bone putty material, with a two-year follow-up. A 15-year-old male presented with persistent swelling and pain in the right maxillary anterior region, having a history of trauma and recurrent swelling. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging revealed a large periapical lesion extending from teeth #11 to #15 with a palatal breach.
