Intraoral pencil core granuloma with retained pencil lead.

Foreign body impactions can be frequently seen in childhood as children have a habit of putting different objects in the mouth. These impacted foreign bodies if not removed timely, at times can lead to severe reactions leading to granuloma formation. A simple injury, if ignored, can result in severe damage to oral tissue and even loss of the permanent tooth.

Preauricular Intraparotid Schwannoma: A Rare Presentation with Literature Review.

Schwannoma is a benign tumor rarely found in the intraparotid facial nerve region. It clinically presents as a slow-growing, asymptomatic mass. Due to its rare presentation, preoperative diagnosis is often unclear before surgical removal and histopathological examination.

Third Molar Autotransplantation: An Alternative to Dental Implant - 9 Years Follow up of a Case.

Autogenous tooth transplantation is the surgical movement of tooth from one location in the mouth to another in the same individual. It is an excellent option with good functional and esthetic outcome for rehabilitating young patients with growing alveolar bone and replaces missing tooth with a natural tooth rather than a prosthesis or an osseointegrated implant. This case reports discusses a 9 years follow up of a successful autotransplantation case of third molar in place of first molar justifying autotransplantation to be a viable treatment option in present day implant dentistry practice.

McGovern nipple: An alternative for nose breathing in newborn with CHARGE syndrome, having bilateral choanal atresia.

CHARGE syndrome caused by the mutation of CHD7 genes is associated with many congenital anomalies. Individuals are diagnosed based on major and minor characteristic features and confirmed by genetic testing. Major criteria characterized by 4C's: Coloboma, Cranial nerve abnormalities, Choanal atresia, and typical CHARGE ear are seen.

Evaluation of the Flexural Strength of Submicron Hybrid Composite using Different Fabrication Methods: An in vitro Study.

Aim: The aim of this study is to perform three-point bend test on submicron hybrid composite fabricated with direct and indirect veneer technique.

Materials And Methods: A total of 20 maxillary anterior teeth were selected, and labial reduction of 0.5 to 0.

Esthetic rehabilitation of anterior primary teeth using polyethylene fiber with two different approaches.

An acceptable treatment approach for early childhood caries in the past may not necessarily be the best treatment option for our young patients today. Technological advances in dental materials and the approach to their use need to be considered, and the introduction of new adhesive systems, restorative materials, and the approach toward treating these teeth has yielded convincing results. Two such clinical case reports where polyethylene fibers were used as intra-canal posts and to splint the pontic fabricated with polyethylene fibers reinforced composite are reported.
