Abstract

Introduction: Misdiagnosed oral lesions can lead to delayed diagnosis and progression to malignancy, significantly impacting patient outcomes. Early detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains a significant challenge in clinical practice, particularly in cases with atypical presentation. We aim to highlight the importance of vigilance and early detection in improving prognose for patients with OSCC.Case Report: This case report discusses good progression of OSCC treatment in 43-year-old male who presented with a persistent ulcer on the ventrolateral tongue, initially attributed to trauma and misdiagnosed as a traumatic ulcer. Over nine months, the lesion progressively enlarged, with associated pain and induration, despite symptomatic treatment. The patient had a history of systemic conditions, along with previous tobacco use, which are recognized as risk factors for OSCC. Histopathological examination revealed keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. Patient then treated with chemotherapy and showed significant progression on his tongue.Discussion: Early recognition of warning signs, such as non-healing ulcers with indurated borders, could have facilitated timely diagnosis and intervention. This case emphasizes the critical role of clinicians in identifying high-risk lesions, particularly in patients with systemic comorbidities or lifestyle-related risk factors. Regular oral health examinations, prompt biopsies, and multidisciplinary approaches are essential in reducing delays in diagnosing potentially malignant oral conditions.Conclusion: Clinicians must prioritize early evaluation and adopt a proactive approach in managing suspicious oral lesions to reduce the burden of advanced malignancies in oral health.

Abstract

The formation of human dentition is a highly intricate process. Any disruptions during the various stages of tooth development can lead to distinct abnormalities, affecting either the primary or permanent teeth. Gemination and fusion are dental anomalies that affect tooth morphology, resulting in the appearance of an unusually wide tooth. Fusion and gemination are often referred to using terms such as double teeth, double formation, conjoined teeth, geminifusion, vicinifusion, and dental twinning. Double teeth can lead to various clinical issues, including aesthetic concerns, spacing irregularities, and an increased risk of tooth decay. Effective management of these cases requires a thorough understanding of the condition and its associated complications. This report presents a case of a 2-year-old boy with a primary maxillary left central incisor presenting a double tooth. The tooth was carious and pulpally involved. The condition was managed conservatively through endodontic treatment, followed by aesthetic rehabilitation using direct composite restoration. Regular clinical and radiographic evaluations were conducted every three months. No abnormalities were observed during these follow-up visits. Managing PDT may involve a multidisciplinary approach, and early diagnosis is essential to prevent and address potential complications in both primary teeth and their permanent successors.

Abstract

Introduction: The esthetic restoration of anterior teeth is designed to offer a healthy and harmonious smile by correcting patients most significant aesthetic concerns regarding the size, shape, and color of the upper anterior teeth. An excellent alternative for anterior teeth with extensive restorations is lithium disilicate glass ceramic. This case report describes the treatment of anterior teeth due to tooth deformation with Lithium Disilicate veneers to restore aesthetics and function.Case Report: A 35-year-old female patient complained that her maxillary front teeth were unaesthetic and the teeth size was disharmonious. The patient felt that her appearance was disturbed. Intraoral examination of teeth #11, #21 and #22 revealed composite fillings, Teeth #11 and #22 vitality test (+), Teeth #12 and #21 vitality test (-), percussion and palpation tests (-). Diagnosis of teeth #11 and #22 reversible pulpitis, teeth #12 and #21 Previously Treated Teeth. The restoration plan for teeth #11, #12, #21, and #22 was lithium disilicate indirect veneer. The patient was satisfied with the results.Discussion: Lithium disilicate-based veneers have long been used as a strong and durable material for correcting deformities in the anterior teeth. In this case, marginal adaptation was well achieved the colour matched the natural teeth, and the anterior shape appeared symmetrical.Conclusion: Lithium disilicate veneers are indicated for teeth that have faced significant deformation and restoration. This material is employed due to its minimally invasive nature and its transparency and color, which resemble those of natural teeth, resulting in an aesthetically appealing and natural finish.

Abstract

In terms of root canal treatments, it is mandatory to detect all the orifices found on the pulp chamber floor to diminish the bacterial load ensuring proper chemo-mechanical debridement of the root canals and creating a three-dimensional space for an inert filling material preventing further infections; therefore, All clinicians must be aware of the Middle Mesial Canal (MMC) to provide complete cleaning and sealing of the canals, as these missing canals correlate significantly with apical periodontitis. A young female patient presented with throbbing pain and swelling on the lower left side of her face; after clinical and radiographic examinations, an infected, pretreated mandibular left first molar was found to be responsible for the symptoms. After removing the restoration and reaching the pulp chamber floor, a neglected confluent middle mesial canal was discovered, cleansed, and treated. To date, the tooth has not developed any signs of failure. Since detecting and treating all root canals in multi-rooted teeth are fundamental in terms of endodontic therapy to minimize bacterial growth, provide proper sealing of root canal systems, and increase the success rate of root canal treatments, clinicians must always have a clear conscience and take sufficient time to seek all root canals present in a tooth, not only the well-known and recurrent ones.

Abstract

Objective:This study aims to introduce and evaluate a novel technique for administering the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB), which demonstrates a 100% success rate and improved anatomical landmark identification compared to conventional methods.Methods:A prospective clinical study was conducted at The Dental Door (Private clinic), India, involving 100 patients undergoing mandibular dental procedures. The newly proposed technique, characterized by simplified landmark identification and modified needle angulation, was employed. Success was defined by the onset of effective anaesthesia within 3–5 minutes without the need for re-injection. The results were compared with data from traditional IANB techniques performed in a matched historical cohort.Results:The novel technique demonstrated a 100% success rate, significantly higher than the 80–85% success rate typically reported with conventional IANB methods. None of the patients required re-injection, and anatomical landmarks were more consistently identifiable.Conclusion:This new IANB technique offers a highly effective and reproducible alternative to the conventional method, especially beneficial in busy clinical settings due to its ease of application and improved reliability.

Abstract

Introduction: The most commonly used hypertension medications are calcium channel blockers (CCB). Their oral impact is well recognized for gingival enlargement, yet is very limited to another oral manifestations. Here, we reported a rare case of recurrent aphthous ulcer in a patient under CCB medication.Case Report: A 59-year-old male patient came to Hasanuddin University Dental Hospital with a chief complaint of recalcitrant ulcers on his mouth three weeks ago, which started to occur continuously for a year after the regular consumption of amlodipine. Intraoral examination demonstrated painful solitary white ulcer on the right ventral of the tongue and on the left buccal mucosa. The working diagnosis of recurrent aphthous ulcer et causa CCB was made. Management includes dexamethasone gargle, triamcinolone acetonide gel, and chlorhexidine gluconate, which improved significantly. The patient was suggested to do a consultation with his internist regarding drug substitution.Discussion: The incidence of oral ulcers induced by CCB is predicted to be related to immunological mechanisms. Any drug component triggers an exaggerated immune reaction directed at the surface of the epithelium, resulting in ulcer. The potential for such response depends on the drug's immunogenicity, exposure frequency, and administration route.Conclusion: Practitioners should consider the possibility of oral ulceration triggered by a specific drug, especially if any therapy does not exhibit improvement. Moreover, dental literature must explore the association between CCB and oral ulcers more since this issue has limited explanations.

Abstract

AbstractObjective: In this report it was described the clinical and radiographic outcomes of fracture of a #S1 rotary NiTi file in MB canal of tooth 4.6, at the middle of canal in a 35 year-old female patient. One of the effectual techniques for managing broken instruments is the instrument bypass technique, which is conservative, simple and less invasive for instrument fragment removal.Methods: Conservative treatment was performed, involves proper biochemical preparation followed by placement of calcium hydroxide during first visit and on the second visit bypassing fractured fragment in canal with K-files and rotary NiTi files. Also irrigation was done with 3% NaOCl, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 2% Chlorohexidine (2% CHX), sterile distilled water after changing of irrigation solution type. Periapical X-ray investigations were used to observe radiographic success of this treatment.Results:  In these case, the fractured fragment was successfully bypassed and there was no apical plunging of the separated instrument. The whole treatment was accomplished with minimal damage to the surrounding dentin of the tooth and supporting tissues.Conclusion: As removal of a fractured file is associated with considerable risk, bypassing the fragment should be also considered. Fractured instrument management with a bypass approach is a favorable possible option over ultrasonic retrieval, surgical endodontic, chemical and surgical treatment.
