A 12-year-old girl presented to the Department of Paediatric Dentistry of the Toulouse University Hospital 10 days after a facial injury, complaining of persistent pain and halitosis. Previous examinations only reported trauma of the upper incisors. Further clinical exploration showed an 8 cm laceration of the oral mucosa in the lower labial sulcus, 1.5 cm inferior to the gingival margin and exposing the symphyseal bone. The diagnosis of mental protuberance degloving was established. The treatment consisted of debridement of the wound, removal of the necrotic tissue, multiple plane sutures and antibiotics. Complete healing of the wound with no sensory deficit was achieved. Mental degloving injuries occur when a shearing force is applied to the soft tissues overlying the chin, stripping them from the labial bone. This type of wound is rare and can go undetected if a meticulous oral examination is not performed. Early management is essential so healing is not compromised.

Typically, primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) develops as a result of multiglandular hyperplasia, parathyroid cancer, or parathyroid adenoma. Patients usually present with skeletal manifestations such as low-trauma fractures. Osteitis fibrosa cystica (OFC) is a classic yet rare skeletal manifestation of advanced PHPT currently reported in less than 2% of patients.

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is a rare, benign fibro-osseous lesion predominantly affecting middle-aged women which is characterized by the presence of multiple radiolucent and radiopaque lesions in the jaw. When complicated by secondary conditions such as osteomyelitis, it may present diagnostic challenges. We present a case underscoring the need for heightened awareness and accurate diagnosis of this disorder, particularly when presenting with complications such as osteomyelitis.
