Mucosal fenestration is a rare entity wherein apex of the tooth is exposed in the oral cavity due to breakdown of the overlying bone and mucosa. This leads to accumulation of plaque and if left untreated can hamper the further prognosis of the tooth. Although there are few evidences regarding mucosal fenestrations in posterior region of maxilla, treatment of the same have been challenging for the clinicians. This case report describes the management of mucosal fenestrations in the posterior maxilla by regenerative periodontal flap surgical approach using xenograft (Osseograft) and platelet-rich fibrin membrane.
Squamous papillomas are benign proliferating lesions caused by human papillomavirus. Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease affecting the oral cavity with main etiologic factor as a microbial biofilm. Recently, viruses have shown association with periodontitis. Periodontal pockets and gingival sulcus of patients with periodontal diseases exhibit the presence of human papillomaviruses (HPV). This could link periodontitis to HPV associated squamous cell carcinoma. HPV most commonly affects the oral cavity with a predilection for the tongue, hard and soft palate, gingiva, buccal mucosa, and uvula. Hence, we present a case report of chronic periodontitis patient with squamous cell papilloma of gingiva with mild dysplasia.
Failure to identify developmental and morphological variations of teeth can lead to unsuccessful therapy. Most mandibular molars have two roots and maxillary have three roots. This article presents periodontal therapy of two cases with the variation in number of roots, one with three rooted mandibular first molar that has presence of extra distolingual root also called as radix entomolaris and other the two rooted maxillary third molar having mesial and distal root and absence of palatal root. Both the cases had advanced grade II furcation involvement and were treated with root resection and restored with final prosthesis as a functional component of the dental arch.
Rapid endothelial cell proliferation of blood vessels is microscopic feature of hemangiomas. These lesions usually occur during first month of life and become apparent as the age increases. Hemangiomas are non-neoplastic and developmental in origin. Although they are found on head and neck region they may involve skin, lips, and masticatory and perioral mucosa of oral cavity and rarely may be found on interdental and attached gingiva. They are more commonly seen three times in female as compared to males. These lesions have frequent tendency to bleed and are of utmost importance to dental professional hence it requires proper diagnosis and treatment. Hence, we are presenting a rare case report of female diagnosed with capillary hemangioma of interdental gingiva.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
