Abstract

Neurofibromas are benign tumors of the peripheral nerve sheath that unfrequently affect head and neck.  They can be solitary when not associated with any syndrome or multiple if they are associated with autosomal dominant neurofibromatosis syndrome. They can also be classified as myxomatous (solid, central, diffuse) or plexiform (peripheral). Neurofibromas may be intra or extra-osseous. Most common extra-osseous oral sites are tongue, oral mucosa and lips. In the literature, few cases of solitary extra-osseous neurofibromas of the palate have been documented. In this article, we present the diagnosis and management of a neurofibroma of the palate.

Abstract

The impaction of mandibular premolars is a challenging complication in tooth eruption. The arrested eruption of the lower premolars can determine disturbances of mastication and aesthetics. Moreover, the frequent tight relationship between the impacted premolar and the inferior alveolar nerve makes the management of this condition extremely difficult. In this article, we report the management and the outcome of the surgical treatment of an unusual case of impacted mandibular premolar.
