An Unusual Presentation of a Central Giant Cell Granuloma and Initial Treatment with Intralesional Steroids– A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Graham Richard M , Foster Murray E , Richardson David 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
A case of a 6 year-old boy is presented with an extensive intraoral central giant cell granuloma, which was initially thought to be a lesion of odontogenic origin. Central giant cell granuloma is an unusual lesion to be found within the oral cavity. Treatment ranges from radical surgical resection to conservative approaches, such as the one presented, with intralesional steroid injections. We would agree with previous work that this as a viable treatment adjunct and possible alternative to surgery for central giant cell granuloma of the jaws.
Versatility of the Coronal Approach in Maxillofacial Surgery
Authors: Singh Vishal , Kukreja Pankaj , Goyal Sonia , Godhi Suhas S. 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The coronal approach, also known as bi-temporal approach, is one of the most versatile surgical approaches to the zygomatic arch and the mid-facial skeleton. Excellent access is gained to the mid-face by this approach, and it also has a very less number of complications. It is esthetically also excellent, because most of the surgical scar is hidden within the hairline. When the incision is extended into the preauricular area, the surgical scar is inconspicuous. In this article, we attempt to describe the approach, and present our own experience in using it at our centre.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTPulp tissue from freshly extracted, intact vital premolars was removed in toto and was cut to get an approximate weight of 8.2 mg for each sample. Eighty samples thus obtained were divided into 4 groups of 20 samples each according to the irrigating solution used (5.25% NaOCl, 17% EDTA, BioPure MTAD and Distilled water (control group). Pulp tissue of specified equal weight (8.2 mg) was placed into each test tube of all groups carrying irrigants of measured volume (5ml each) at 37°C according to their specified subgroups time interval i.e. 10 min, 15 min, 20 min and 30 min respectively. The solution from each sample test tube was filtered and was left for overnight drying. The residual weight was calculated by filtration method. Results showed that the maximum amount of pulp was dissolved by 5.25% NaOCl at all time intervals. MTAD and 17% EDTA showed almost similar dissolution at all the time intervals.

Authors: Bains Vivek K , Bains Rhythm , Loomba Anju , Loomba Kapil , Ganesan S 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Sinus tract adjacent to teeth, or near the apex of any particular tooth, is usually considered to be of endodontic origin and root canal therapy is the primary treatment to achieve its healing; however, at times, it may be associated with periodontal lesion and then requires combined endodontic periodontal treatment. The present case had a sinus tract of combined orthodontic-periodontal origin, mimicking pulpal etiology. Such cases can possibly be diagnosed and treated only after careful evaluation of clinical features and radiographic findings.

Cyclosporine and Amlodipine Induced Severe Gingival Overgrowth - Etiopathogenesis and Management of a Case with Electrocautery and Carbon-Dioxide(CO2) Laser
Authors: Hegde Rashmi , Kale Rahul , Jain A Sanjay 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTGingival overgrowth is a well recognized, unwanted side-effect associated with three major drugs/drug groups – phenytoin, cyclosporine and the calcium channel blockers. Cyclosporine is a potent immunosuppressive compound that has been used increasingly in conjunction with kidney, heart and other transplants. Calcium channel blockers are widely used in medical practice for the management of cardiovascular disorders. Due to their wide range of use, gingival overgrowth is now a recognized side-effect associated with them. Here we discuss a case report dealing with severe gingival overgrowth induced by cyclosporine and amlodipine. A 36-year-old man who underwent renal transplant came with a chief complaint of generalized gingival swelling. He had very severe gingival overgrowth in both arches and required thorough scaling and oral hygiene instructions, followed by supportive periodontal therapy for 4 months, after which radical gingivectomy using electrocautery and CO2laser was performed. The post operative results were excellent and there was no recurrence at 1 year follow-up.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTCases of infants born with a tooth or teeth or have teeth that erupted within the first month of their birth are rare in occurrence. Teeth present in the oral cavity at birth are termed natal teeth, while those which erupt during the first 30 days of life are called neonatal teeth. Natal and neonatal teeth usually represent units of normal primary dentition, and only 1 to 10% are supernumerary, therefore dentists advise they be left in the mouth to avoid future space management issues. In this case report we represent three cases with two each natal teeth and their long term follow-ups.

A Report on Synchronous Polymorphous Low-grade Adenocarcinoma and Unknown Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Authors: Fisher Adam D , McClure Shawn A , Franco Johnny 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTBackgroundThis is a case report of synchronous, noncollision head and neck malignancies, consisting of a large polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) and an unknown primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that was diagnosed on final pathology.Materials and methodsPositron emission tomography– computed tomography (CT) scan with and without contrast was obtained, which showed a large destructive soft tissue mass emanating from the right maxilla into the right maxillary sinus with invasion into the surrounding tissue and bone, compatible with an underlying primary maxillary malignancy. Increased D-18 fluorodeoxyglucose activity was also seen in the neck corresponding to numerous bilateral cervical lymph nodes. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the extent of the soft tissue mass, which expanded to the inferior aspect of the right orbital floor, with no evidence of gross invasion into the orbit.ResultsThe patient underwent a subtotal maxillectomy, bilateral modified radial neck dissection, and reconstruction. Pathology revealed metastatic PLGA present in the right cervical lymph nodes. Left cervical lymph nodes, however, revealed metastatic SSC. The patient was taken back to the operating room and a panendoscopy was performed. Physical examination was benign and multiple biopsies were negative for SSC. The patient underwent radiation therapy for PLGA and unknown primary SSC antigen.ConclusionSynchronous tumors of the head and neck are seldom reported and they present unique treatment challenges. This case report discusses the diagnosis, management, and unique nature of two malignant synchronous noncollision tumors in the head and neck.How to cite this articleFisher AD, McClure SA, Franco J.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Pediatric sinus surgery is indicated in patients with rhinosinusitis that does not respond medical therapy after controlling of predisposing factors such as allergic rhinitis, adenoiditis, environmental irritants, and gastroesophageal reflux. Orbital and intracranial extensions from rhinosinusitis requires aggressive medical management and expedient surgical intervention. There is an armamentarium of techniques to address the pediatric sinuses, including maxillary antral lavage, septoplasty, turbinate reduction, balloon sinuplasty, and functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Surgeries for pediatric rhinosinusitis have favorable outcomes in general, with low complication rates.
