This case report describes a conservative method of restoring non-restorable anteriorly fractured tooth in growing patient. The aim of this treatment method is to maintain hard tissue and soft tissue in anterior zone for future implant placement. A 13-year-old female patient presented to our primary care dental clinic with dental trauma that occurred 3 years ago. The chief complaint was to restore the badly broken teeth for esthetic purposes. The tooth was restored with a resin-bonded bridge and root submergence was done considering the need for future implant placement. Root submergence in the upper left central incisor (21) has been done to prevent buccopalatal collapse of the post-extraction bone. The root submergence technique helps in retaining the bone, thus reducing bone resorption. Considerable success has also been demonstrated in maintaining the periodontal tissues at the pontic site with this technique. This enables future dental implant placement without the need for bone augmentation. The treatment was successful and the patient is under follow-up and review visits. We did not notice any signs and symptoms of failure. This technique is minimally invasive and very successful in young patients for whom implant treatment is considered in the future.","PeriodicalId":335352,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical and Dental Case Reports","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125014137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fibrotic band release by surgery is necessary to enable mouth opening. Once trismus has established that the role of medical treatment is limited. Over the years, different methods have been tried with varying rates of success to relieve trismus, of which lasers with biostimulation have gained importance. It is a non-invasive, painless, less time consuming, and an alternative to laser-assisted fiberotomy. Hence, the aim is to present the innovative opportunities of biostimulation using diode laser in managing oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and to present new challenging indications of this technology for daily practice. A male patient reported with a complaint of burning mouth along with restricted mouth opening and weight loss for 2 years. There were palpable fibrous bands in the upper and lower labial and buccal mucosa. The patient was scheduled for laser-assisted photobiostimulation and was recalled at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 14th, 21st, and 30th days. After 1 month, there was a significant improvement in mouth opening. The patient resumed his normal chewing habits and reported no burning sensation. Thus, the study has proved that biostimulation with diode lasers can form an integral part in treating OSMF. In the modern era, the advent of lasers in the field of dentistry has led to enormous improvements in clinical conditions, leading to faster healing, minimal scarring, and also improving patient comfort.","PeriodicalId":335352,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical and Dental Case Reports","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122071084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: The data were recorded from patients 2016 to 2018. This is a retrospective review of panoramic radiographs of 200 subjects with cleft lip and/or palate that were evaluated from their file records and investigated for dental anomalies. Results: Dental anomalies found in cleft lip and/or palate patients were missing teeth in 64 patients (32%), maxillary lateral incisor with higher incidence. Supernumerary teeth were found in three patients (1.5%), 27 (13.5%) had microdontia, structural anomalies were seen in 3 (1.5%) patients. About 52% of the individuals had at least one dental anomaly the most common dental anomaly that was found to be tooth agenesis (33% of individuals) followed by microdontia (12%), supernumerary teeth (1.5%), taurodontism (1%), and fusion (0.5%). Conclusion: Findings of the study add to the data of previous studies done on corelation between cleft and incidence of dental anomalies. These will help in providing the comprehensive treatment plan for cleft patients which also include dental and orthodontic treatment to have better outcome. This study showcases a thorough and complete variants of dental anomalies present in a small sample of cleft lip and/or palate patients, larger multi institutional trial studies are recommended to successfully understand the cause of each dental anomaly with spectrum of clefts.","PeriodicalId":335352,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical and Dental Case Reports","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130742313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Riga-Fede disease (RFD) is characterized by sores on the ventral area of the tongue, lip, and mother’s breast caused by these teeth. The management is determined by the tooth’s mobility and the risk of aspiration or swallowing; if it is a supernumerary or ordinary main tooth; whether it is interfering with breastfeeding; breast and oral soft tissue damage; and the general health of the child. The clinical diagnosis of RFD was made after a 4-month-old male newborn was identified with one early infancy tooth and an ulcerated lesion on the ventral side of the tongue. The intervention consisted of preserving the early infancy tooth that showed no signs of increased mobility, adding a modest increment of composite resin cement to its incisal edge, and applying 0.12% chlorhexidine topically. The patient was monitored on a daily basis, and after 15 days, the wound was completely healed. The recommended intervention was effective, and the patient is still being followed up on after 6 months with no recurrence of the lesion.","PeriodicalId":335352,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical and Dental Case Reports","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125404365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
