“…Accumulation of fluid between the enamel surface and reduced enamel epithelium results in the formation of dentigerous cyst in which the cystic lumen encloses the crown of an impacted tooth. 3 Although dentigerous cyst do not show signs of inflammation but inflamed dentigerous cyst walls occasionally may contain cholesterol crystals, hemosiderin pigments, and Ruston's hyaline bodies similar to those reported in radicular cysts. 4 So, here we present a rare case of dentigerous cyst with cholesterol clefts.…”

Cholesterol deposition is a common phenomenon to be seen associated to an inflammatory response and is usually evident in paranasal sinus, middle ear, and in some cases of mastoid process. Such depositions lead to cleft formations within the tissue, histopathologically seen as cholesterol cleft. Formation of cholesterol clefts is an usual phenomenon in the jaw related to inflammatory cysts such as radicular cyst but this is rarely seen in other odontogenic cysts, in particular the dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst. So, here we present a rare case of cholesterol clefts in the wall of a dentigerous cyst.

“…Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) has been a controversy due to its locally aggressive behavior and higher recurrence. Sporadic cases of malignant transformation are reported but very little is known about dysplasia in OKC [ 1 - 3 ]. Atypia of OKC lining is a rare entity that significantly influences treatment planning [ 4 ].…”

We present a rare case of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) with moderate epithelial dysplasia in a 47-year-old male patient. He presented with a history of pain and swelling on the right side of his face for the past three months. The radiograph revealed multi-locular radiolucency involving the ramus, coronoid process, and condylar process of the right mandible. We have discussed the cytology, incisional biopsy, radiological investigations, surgical management, reconstruction, excisional biopsy report, and follow-up of this rare entity.

“…With the increasing old age, there is a susceptibility to periodontal problems, leading to gingival recession and root surfaces getting exposed to oral environment making them vulnerable to root caries. 7 Presence of cariogenic biofilm and fermentable carbohydrates is one of the etiologic factors of root caries. 8 The process of demineralization is similar to coronal caries but is twice as rapid on root surfaces then on enamel as root cementum contains less mineral content (65.0%) compared to enamel (96.0%).…”

Among the oral ailments which are observed by dental practitioners in elderly, root caries is a significant one. It has been reported that about a third of older population bears most of the root caries burden. Root surface caries is one of the significant oral health problems in the elderly, and the incidence of root surface caries has been found to be one of the major risk factors for tooth loss. Limited studies have been carried out on root caries in elderly patients in context of Nepal. Hence, the objective of this study was to find the prevalence of root caries and its associated factors among the elderly population. This observational cross sectional study was done on 188 adult patients of 60 years and above. A specifically designed questionnaire was used to collect the following information: socio-demographic characteristics, use of medication, oral hygiene practices and oral health behaviour. Data were analyzed using Chi square test and descriptive statistics were calculated. It was found that the prevalence of root caries was 61.7% and it increased with age. There was an association between root caries and socioeconomic status which showed root caries was seen more in adults of upper middle class. More of root caries was seen in females, those who were unmarried, taking medications and non vegetarians. Oral hygiene habits and oral health behaviour had a positive impact on root caries. More of root caries was seen on buccal surface of molars.
