It usually presents with symptoms resembling those of typical nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, but it arises from a site other than the site of origin of typical nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. A 20-year-old male presented with complaints of left-sided nasal obstruction and epistaxis for 10 days. On examination, a mass was seen attached to the anterior nasal septum. Throat and ear examinations were unremarkable. Blood investigations also came out to be as expected. A deviated nasal septum was seen, which was caused by a nasal trauma to this patient 3 years ago. This mass was removed, and the specimen was sent for histologic examination. Histologic examination of the specimen proved the mass to be extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. The selection of appropriate surgical techniques and subsequent histologic examinations is extremely important to determine the exact diagnosis in such cases.

Repairing a Perforation can be challenging and can negatively affect the prognosis of the treatment. The prognosis depends on various factors, including the size and site of the perforation, the presence of microorganisms, and the time lapse between injury and repair. One crucial factor is using a suitable material with favorable biocompatibility, moisture tolerance, and sealing abilities. Thus, choosing the suitable perforation sealing material can significantly affect the outcomes. Many materials have been suggested for perforation repair. However, searching for an ideal material continues, indicating the complicated nature of root perforations. In this study, three patients, two male and one female, received treatment for root perforation, each varying in the prognosis determinant factors. All cases were managed non-surgically with cold ceramic (CC) as the repairing material. After follow-up, they were clinically and radiographically examined, and all three cases revealed relatively complete healing of the tissues and no signs or symptoms of inflammation. The results obtained from the presented cases indicated CC's sealing ability, biocompatibility, moisture tolerance, and bone and periodontium regeneration, which are essential for successful perforation repair. The favorable healing of the perforation and the elimination of inflammation in every case, as well as the existing literature, support the use of CC as a suitable material for sealing perforations. However, additional clinical research is recommended to further understand CC's qualities and potential.</p>","PeriodicalId":10327,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Reports","volume":"13 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccr3.70182","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143396939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The large number of restorations involves many potential adjustments that are time-consuming and lead to final ceramic properties degradation. This clinical report highlights the benefits of using castable patterns in complete fixed prosthetic rehabilitation. Minimal preparations of the teeth were carried out using the conventional mock-up technique. The impressions were then digitized to produce wax and resin patterns (Castable Wax Resin; Formlabs) with a stereolithography 3D printer (Form 2; Formlabs). During oral try-in of patterns, adjustments can be carried out to correct any defects of shape, marginal adaptation, proximal, and occlusal contacts. The definitive restorations were directly pressed from the patterns into lithium disilicate glass-reinforced ceramic (IPS e.max Press; Ivoclar Vivadent) using the lost-wax casting process. Finally, the restorations were placed permanently in the mouth with complete patient satisfaction after 4 years of follow-up. This procedure is intended to reduce ceramic adjustments on definitive restorations. It is especially relevant in complete fixed rehabilitation and in situations where the thickness of ceramic restorations does not allow for try-in before bonding.</p>","PeriodicalId":10327,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Reports","volume":"13 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccr3.70215","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143389136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
