In this case report, the 1-year follow-up radiographs and cone-beam computed tomography showed complete healing of the hard and soft-tissue lesions that conform to achieving repair and regeneration at a rapid rate in extensive periapical lesions.Clinical presentation of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) along with other pathologies of the jaw such as ameloblastoma, and ossifying fibroma is well documented. However, the simultaneous occurrence of OKC with lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is very rare. We present a clinical scenario where there was concurrent presentation of OKC with LPC.Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) is a rare malignant salivary gland tumor, mostly involving the parotid and submandibular glands. Minor salivary gland involvement is even rarer, palate being the most common site. Other reported sites are upper lip, sinonasal tract, and buccal mucosa. Here, we report a case of CXPA in an unusual location, the floor of the mouth.Both Gorlin-Goltz syndrome and Sotos syndrome are rare genetic conditions showing variable expressiveness. They both are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Since these conditions tend to be multisystemic disorders, the familiarity of various medical specialists with its manifestations may reduce the time necessary for providing a diagnosis, better differentiation of these two conditions, or even the co-existence of two syndromes.This case report describes the successful treatment of a 25-year-old male with maxillary retrognathism, skeletal and dental Class III malocclusion, anterior and posterior crossbite, negative overjet and overbite, mild mandibular crowding, and lower midline deviation. The nonextraction treatment plan included (1) maxillary and mandibular arch fixed appliance and (2) Le Fort 1 maxillary osteotomy and postsurgical orthodontic treatment. The orthodontic treatment was initiated with 0.022" preadjusted brackets bonded to all the teeth except the maxillary second molars, 2 days before the surgery without any archwires. Two weeks after the surgery, maxillary and mandibular arch alignment along with the occlusal adjustments was started with the use of 0.018" NiTi wires, in both arches. Optimum esthetic and functional results were achieved in 10 weeks after the surgery, with the cooperation of two specialties and the use of surgery first approach.A case of an unusually oriented fracture pattern and significant disruption of the right Zygomatico-orbito-maxillary complex, with severe comminution and gross displacement of its skeletal components, is described. Wide surgical access to all the fracture sites was provided by a combination of hemicoronal and intraoral surgical approaches. This enabled successful reduction, precise reapproximation, and stable fixation of the multiple displaced fracture fragments. An excellent restoration of the skeletal morphology and orbital volume to their original, preinjury status was achieved, obviating the development of any residual facial deformity, functional deficit or ocular complications.White-eyed blowout fracture is often found in pure orbital floor blowout fracture among pediatric patients. Unlike common orbital blowout fractures with apparent clinical signs, the diagnosis of white-eyed orbital blowout fractures is difficult because of minimal soft-tissue signs. This report describes an early missed-out diagnosis of a white-eyed blowout fracture in a 7-year-old child, due to negligible soft-tissue manifestation.The technology of the Strategic Implant® has expanded the indications for tooth and bone removal. This case report shows what kind of results are possible and how much the appearance of a patient can be changed within a few days if both teeth and bone are removed. The treatment option explained here could be considered by patients with a gummy smile. This treatment conflicts with the traditional thinking of dentists, who are educated to keep and maintain teeth. This can be compared to other fields of esthetic surgery where the patient's right to self-determination in medical decision-making has been established for a considerable period of time and is more frequent than in dentistry.Tooth impaction is a pathological situation where a tooth is unable to achieve its normal functional position within the expected time span. The removal may be associated with intra-operative or post-operative complications. The Le Fort I osteotomy is a procedure used by maxillofacial surgeons to correct a wide range of dentofacial deformities. read more Due to its versatility and simplicity, it has gained popularity for a wide range of uses. This case report describes the location and surgical removal of a right maxillary third molar which was accidentally displaced into the infratemporal fossa in a 26-year-old female while performing Le Fort I osteotomy. The patient underwent a second surgery for the retrieval of tooth using modified Gillie's temporal approach. The important role of the cone beam computed tomography in determining the localization of the displaced tooth is demonstrated.

To demonstrate the efficacy of a new novel anterior tonsillar fossa approach in management of elongated styloid process syndrome.

We operated upon 20 patients with confirmed, symptomatic elongated styloid process. None of these patients gave a previous positive history of trauma or any other procedure relating to tonsillar area. All these patients had undergone treatment or were under treatment for neuralgia/TMJ dysfunction syndrome. Diagnosis was confirmed by clinical examination followed by radiological findings.

12 patients underwent bilateral styloidectomy (60%) and 8 patients, underwent unilateral styloidectomy (40%). The length of stolid process ranged from 34mm to 62mm (mean 44 mm). Post operative follow up period ranges from 6 months to 12 months.17 patients (85%) were asymptomatic & had complete remission of symptoms over a follow up period of 12 months. 2 patients had partial remission of symptoms & 1 patient was lost to follow-up.

Our anterior tonsillar fossa approach to elongated styloid is safe & adequate in effective surgical management & more so with an additional advantage of not requiring tonsillectomy which is often performed in trans-pharyngeal technique.
