<![CDATA[Objective: Maxillary canines are one of the most common teeth that are impacted among orthodontic patients. The canines are important teeth because of their function, occlusion, and aesthetics. Meanwhile, the most frequent cases that can be found in Indonesia are missing mandibular first permanent molar. This case report is about orthodontic treatment in 18 years old female patient. Clinical examination showed unilateral maxillary impacted canine, mild anterior crowding, and missing unilateral mandibular first permanent molar. The aim of this treatment is to make an ideal occlusion, correct the position of the canine, mild anterior crowding, and replace the missing first molar of the mandibular with a denture. This case report describes the management of a unilateral maxillary impacted canine.Methods: The patient’s treatment was initiated by leveling and aligning the arch. An open coil spring was used to gain space between the lateral incisor and maxillary first premolar on the left side.Result: After the position of the canine was achieved, the treatment was carried out to achieve the finishing detailing and arch coordination. Partial dentures are then prescribed to replace the missing first molar of the mandibular.Conclusions: The Unilateral maxillary impacted canine is clinically challenging. Successful orthodontic treatment can be achieved with minimal side effects in proper biomechanical control, diagnosis, and right treatment planning and also important in terms of esthetics and function and requires a qualified experience of a number of clinicians]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: This case report aims to describe the treatment of discolored vital teeth with in-office bleaching using 40% hydrogen peroxide.Method: A 41-year-old woman visits the Dental Hospital of Hasanuddin University and complained of yellow teeth in the last five years. The patient has a habit of consuming black tea. The teeth were treated with in-office bleaching techniques with procedures cleaning the tooth surface using a brush and prophylactic paste, then determining the teeth' color using the Opalescent Boost shade guide. Retract the lips using of cheek retractor (Optra gate). The teeth to be bleached are dried and followed by the application of an astringent agent (Acteon Expasyl). Application of gingival barrier (Opaldam Ultradent) to protect the gingiva. Application of bleaching agent H2O2 (Opalescent Boost Ultradent) for 20 minutes. Clean the bleaching material then determine the color of the teeth after bleaching. Apply desensitizing agent (UltraEz Ultradent). Remove the gingival barrier and give instructions after bleaching to the patient.Result: The treatment showed an increase in the brightness of tooth color. The patient showed no complaints of gingival irritation and tooth sensitivity. Extraoral and intraoral examinations showed no abnormalities.Conclusion: In-office bleaching techniques are a minimally invasive treatment for discolored vital teeth that can provide satisfactory esthetic results.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: This study reviews lower lip mucocele in children and its management. It also presents a case report of a 14-year-old-girl diagnosed with a lower lip mucocele.Method: Excision surgery was performed under local anesthesia, and mucocele was incised vertically so that separates the mucosa on it. The mucocele was resected from the base, suturing was made and removed on the 10th day.Result: On the sixth day had been removed suture, patient controlled. The scar appeared to have closed entirely and the hyperemic was not visible.Conclusion: Excision surgery is still an option treatment although considered a conservative way to remove the mucocele. This technique does not cause excessive bleeding with rapid wound healing. It does not require special equipment, is inexpensive, and can be performed by the dentist.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: Phthisis bulbi is an eye condition that happens when a wound heals slowly because of a severe eye injury, inflammation, or neoplasm. It is an end-stage eye disease that causes the eyeball and the contents inside the eye to shrink and become disorganized. Eye-related disfigurement can cause a lot of physical and emotional trouble. Instead of surgery like enucleation or evisceration, prosthetic rehabilitation of the remaining eyeball is the most effective treatment for the phthisis bulbi. Rehabilitation of these patients is challenging, and a multidisciplinary approach is needed to make an ocular prosthesis that works well.Methods: A 25-year-old male patient presented to the department of Prosthodontics at Hasanuddin University Dental Hospital with the chief complaint of vision loss in his left eye and an unattractive appearance due to a bulging white spot regressing eyeball. The patient previously used a contact lens but was satisfied with the results. The treatment plan involves the fabrication of a custom-made acrylic resin eye prosthesis. Custom ocular prostheses are created using impression techniques that provide retention benefits.Results: After twenty-four hours, one week, and six months after implantation, follow-up appointments revealed no inflammation and excellent adaptation of the ocular prosthesis. Conclusion: The custom-made ocular prosthesis presented in this case can be used to give the phthisis bulbi patient a more natural appearance. Using a custom ocular prosthesis with the proper size, color, and color can yield an acceptable aesthetic result]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: Dental discoloration accompanied by gingival hyperpigmentation can be found in daily practice, although it is rare. Gingival hyperpigmentation is caused by excessive melanin deposition in the basal and suprabasal  cell  layers  of  the  epithelium. Gingival depigmentation can be removed by electrosurgery, periodontal surgery, and laser ablation.Methods: During the initial appointment, external bleaching with 40% Hydrogen Peroxide bleaching agent (Opalescent Boost, Ultradent) was applied for 20 minutes to the maxillary and mandibular teeth. The change from the initial color number 8 to 4 (Shade Guide Opalescent Boost, Ultradent) was observed. On the next appointment, the patient had laser ablation treatment on hyperpigmented gums.Results: External bleaching can generally be done with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to get optimal brightening results.Conclusion: External bleaching for vital teeth using hydrogen peroxide is a conservative technique with satisfactory results, easy to perform, and highly effective for removing tooth discoloration. While gingival ablation is performed to treat gingival hyperpigmentation. After both procedures, better aesthetic results were obtained.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: The aim of this case report is to describe endodontic reintervention of a maxillary third molar with Vertucci type II root canal classification.Methods: Root canal treatment was done one year ago. Intraoral examination showed composite fillings, a thermal test (-), percussion (+), and palpation (-). A periapical radiograph shows non-hermetic obturation. Endodontic reintervention was performed by removing gutta- percha using H-File (Dentsply, Switzerland) and xylol solution, followed by determination of working length and confirmation with an apex locator (Propex Pixi, Dentsply, Switzerland). Results: The anatomic variation of the root canal is a complicating factor that results in the failure of the treatment performed. Vertucci type II root canal classification is one of the anatomic variations that complicate instrumentation, which causes treatment failure and requires endodontic re-intervention.Conclusion: Endodontic reinvention of the maxillary third molar with Vertucci type II root canal classification can provide optimal results with the right treatment plan and adequate restoration.]]>

<![CDATA[Ectodermal dysplasia is typically an inherited X-linked recessive trait, characterized by a variety of congenital defects in structure of ectodermal origin which includes skin, hair, teeth, nails and sweat glands. Hypodontia or anodontia of primary or permanent dentition is the most common oral findings. A 22 years old man has been reported to the Department of Prosthodontics and Maxillofacial Prosthesis Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Duwakot Bhaktapur with chief complaint of complete missing of upper and lower teeth since childhood. He has typical features of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia; diffusely sparse hairs, reduced eyelash and eyebrows hair, midface hypoplasia, protuberant lips, satyr-like ears and prominent forehead. We present the features, diagnosis and treatment plant for the patient in this case report.]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract: Histoplasmosis is a deep fungal infection that is commonly found in tropical regions. Oral manifestation of histoplasmosis is more often associated with the disseminated form which is commonly seen in immunocompromised individuals. Commonly, oral lesions may present as multiple, granular and painful ulcers as well as verrucous growths mimicking oral carcinoma. We report a case of an avid gardener who presented with a non-healing ulcer over the hard palate with the impression of a sinister lesion. Patient claimed the lesion had persisted for a period of 5 weeks with multiple visits to medical and dental clinic but was unable to reach a definitive diagnosis and treatment. Following referral, initial examination has warranted the clinician at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery to proceed for a tissue biopsy revealing oral lesion favouring histoplasmosis. A multidisciplinary approach alongside the Infectious Disease Department was able to devise a proper treatment plan at eradicating the patient’s concern. Following therapy, the oral ulcer healed well with minimal complication.  ]]>
