The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in non syndromic South Indian paediatric population is 1.24% with slight male predilection and conical mesiodens being the commonest.

Retention of a mandibular denture can be achieved by an implant-retained or natural tooth-retained bar and stud attachment in the anterior segment of the mandible. The same design principles holds true for both implant-retained and tooth-retained methods of anchoring the bar and stud attachment. A simple and cost effective treatment for more complex implant overdenture is the concept of conventional tooth-retained overdentures. When few firm teeth still remain in a compromised dentition, preservation of these teeth for overdentures can improve retention and stability. The authors present a clinical report of a patient treated with a mandibular tooth-borne overdenture with bar and O-ring attachment. A splinted bar supported the prosthesis and an O-ring retained the denture.

IntroductionFracture of anterior teeth is the most frequent type of injury in the permanent dentition. Composite materials have made possible the use of adhesive materials and techniques, but storage of fragment in the media can enhance the bond strength. The purpose was to evaluate the influence of storage media and duration of the fragment in the media on the bond strength of the reattached fragment of teeth.Materials and methodsA total of 104 permanent maxillary central incisors were included. Samples were divided into four groups of 26 teeth each, further divided into eight groups of 13 teeth each and sectioned 3 mm apical to the incisal edge and stored in four storage media—tap water, artificial saliva, sodium fluoride, and Tooth Mousse at 12 and 24 hours. The bond strength was measured by universal strength testing machine.ResultsTooth Mousse showed statistically significant difference (p-value 0.001) compared with sodium fluoride, artificial saliva, and tap water when stored in both 12 and 24 hours’ duration.ConclusionTooth Mousse was a better storage media when compared with sodium fluoride, artificial saliva, and tap water.Clinical significanceTooth Mousse can be considered as a best storage media for fragment reattachment.How to cite this article: Jalannavar P, Tavargeri A.

A bstract Traumatic fibroma is a benign reactive exophytic oral lesion in response to local trauma in the oral cavity. The article presents the case of an 11-year-old boy patient with a month-long proliferation on the left lateral margin of the tongue. Upon detailed history and clinical examination, it was determined that the sharp cusps of the mandibular posterior were the etiological component. Here a soft tissue laser was used for the complete excision of the lesion. The main advantages of using a soft tissue laser in pediatric patients are effective hemostasis that can be achieved in a short span, is less invasive, and better postoperative phase. It is a safe and fast procedure that allows easy manipulation of the tissue without scarring. The excised lesion was then sent to histopathology for analysis. After clinical and histological examinations, the case was diagnosed as a traumatic fibroma. How to cite this article Asundaria RR, Tavargeri A.

Presence of natal teeth in the oral cavity itself is a rare condition, and it is extremely rare to find pathological conditions associated with the natal teeth. Gingival growth is the most frequently observed lesion in the oral cavity of which ossifying fibrous epulis (OFE) is one of the infrequently occurring gingival lesions in newborn. Parents of 3½-month-old infant reported to our department with the lump on the lower front gum pad which was noticed after the extraction of the natal tooth. A provisional diagnosis of irritational fibroma was made based on clinical a finding which was confirmed as OFE by histopathological findings. The growth was surgical excised. Complete healing was seen uneventfully after 15 days. Moreover, recall visits after 3 and 6 months showed no recurrence of the lesion.
