Congenital Epignathus Associated With a Tricuspid Incompetence.

Teratomas are germinal cell neoplasms containing tissues from all germinal layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm); however, they may show varying stages of maturity. We present a case of a 10-month-old Sudanese male patient who presented to the Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital with a tumor occupying the hard palate since birth, causing reduced oral intake and failure to thrive. CT images showed soft and hard tissue masses originating from the hard palate and extending to the oral cavity.

Orthognathic correction and corticobasal implant-supported prostheses as a treatment modality for partial edentulism with mandibular prognathism: A case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Mandibular prognathism manifests as elongation of the mandible in the anteroposterior direction, resulting in a sunken appearance of the middle third of the face and sad look of the eyes. It adversely affects esthetics, function, and oral health, reducing the patients' self-esteem. It therefore presents a significant challenge.
