Nevus of Ota is a macular discoloration of the face which is most commonly found in the Japanese and females are more commonly affected than males. It is first described by Ota and Tanino in 1939, involves the skin along the distribution of first and second division of trigeminal nerve. Involvement of the palatal mucosa occurs rarely in nevus of Ota, it usually blends with the oral mucosa and is typically irregular, undefined and often present as a mottled patch. We describe here the case of nevus of Ota with palatal involvement in a 13-year-old Asiatic boy. His past medical history revealed the presence of the lesion since birth. There were no other pigmented lesion locations. The exact etiology of nevus of Ota is still unknown but they have the potential to undergo melanomatous change.

Background: Chronic sialorrhea is a troublesome condition for children with neurological disorders that affect swallowing. Various surgical procedures for reflecting drooling cases are helpful. Some of them could be followed by complications or lead to over–dryness of the mouth. This article aims to highlight the safety and effectiveness of bilateral submandibular duct relocation (BSDR) on fifteen years of experience. Material and methods: A retrospective chart review identified 25 patients with chronic sialorrhea who underwent BSDR. Clinical and demographic data were reviewed. Surgical outcomes were assessed with both Wilkie and Brody's criteria and the Teacher drooling (TDS) scale. Results: The mean age of children was 11.7 years. They had neurological disorders and dribbled saliva with an average of 4.28 according to the TDS which falls to an average of 1.12 after surgery. By referring to Wilkie and Brody's criteria, 88% of the results have been labelled as excellent and good for the others. Conclusion: Our 15 years of experience in managing neurologically impaired children with profuse drooling illuminates and supports our trend for BSDR without sublingual gland excision. This surgical procedure is safe, and effective against drooling, protects oral health, and provides a high rate of success.

Introduction: The present study is to compare the buccal based triangular flap with lingual based triangular flap on postoperative pain, swelling and trismus after mandibular third molar surgery. Materials and methods: This study comprised of 100 patients, of which, 50 patients underwent buccal based triangular flap technique and 50 patients underwent lingual based triangular flap. The patients in both the groups were evaluated for pain, swelling and trismus on 1st, 3rd and 7th postoperative days. The wound healing was assessed on the 7th postoperative day. The obtained data's were statistically analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Patients in lingual based triangular flap group had less pain on all three postoperative days (P < 0.001). While, the amount of swelling was less on the 3rd postoperative day (P < 0.05) and the degree of trismus was less on 1st and 3rd postoperative days (P < 0.05). The patients in buccal based triangular flap group showed statistical significance for swelling on 1st and 7th postoperative days (P < 0.05) and for trismus on 7th postoperative day (P < 0.05). 2 Patients reported with tissue dehiscence in lingual based triangular flap group. In buccal based triangular flap group, 7 patients presented with wound gaping and 2 patients developed dry socket. Conclusion: Lingual based triangular flap was found to be superior and effective flap design in controlling pain, swelling and trismus with reduced postoperative complications when compared to buccal based triangular flap.

Objective: To investigate the effects of topical phenytoin application on wound healing of extraction socket of albino Wistar rats. Materials and methods: Thirty-six albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into Group A (control), B (1% phenytoin mucoadhesive paste), and C (mucoadhesive paste without phenytoin). All animals were anesthetized followed by first molar extraction. Group A did not receive any agent, whereas, Group B and C received daily application of their respective pastes. Four animals from each group were sacrificed on day 7, 14, and 21 and analyzed histologically. Results: No significant difference was found in blood vessel count among the groups. Statistical increase in percentage of fibroblast in Group B was found as compared with other groups at day 7, whereas, no significant difference was found among groups at day 14. Day 21 showed significant decrease in percentage of fibroblasts in Group B (p-value < 0.001) as compared with Group A and C. Increase in percentage of bone trabeculae in Group B was observed on day 7, 14, and 21 with a significant difference (p-value < 0.05) as compared to Group A and C. Conclusion: Topical application of phenytoin promoted fibroblast proliferation and bone trabeculae formation during healing of extraction socket in rats.

Background: A positive prenatal history of maternal fever has been found to express as a range of defects in infants including limb reduction, central nervous system defects, facial dysmorphogenesis and foetal death. Oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome is a rare spectrum of congenital disorders characterised by malformations of the tongue, mandible, maxilla and limbs. They present as sporadic cases with extremely low incidence and seldom occur with associated syngnathia. Syngnathia can manifest as fibrous, bony or in combination. Observation: Here we represent a rare case of Oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome type IV E with combination of syngnathia, cleft palate, retrognathia and hypoglossia-hypodactylomelia. An early surgical release of syngnathia was undertaken on having features of failure to thrive, high risk of aspiration and related complications due to enteral feeding. Conclusion: Delaying the surgical procedure could result in growth restriction and progressive ankylosis of the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It is essential to document the singular variant of Oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome (OLHS) to the medical literature.

Human aggressions by wild animals are rare but often dramatic. Among the animals that attack humans, the crocodile is singled out by the impressive power of its jaws, which leave very little chance of survival to the victim it manages to grasp. Crocodile bite lesions most often affect the limbs and trunk. Cephalic injuries are exceptional and particularly serious because of the important infectious risks and their usual mortality. The authors report a case of cranio-cervico-facial trauma due to a crocodile bite in a 16-year-old patient with deep soft tissue wounds associated with a fracture of the mandible. Emergency management resulted in a favorable outcome. The report of this case aims to highlight the clinical specificities and the modalities of management of this rare lesion entity in an under medicalized context.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) affects 8 million new people every year, with developing countries under its strong clout. Although tuberculosis can affect any part of the body involving both soft and hard tissues; such an occurrence in the maxillofacial bones in the form of tuberculous osteomyelitis is relatively rare. Due to the rarity of the lesion and lack of sufficient documentation, its incidence can be expected to be more than what has been reported so far. Observation: So, here is a case of a 21-year-old male who presented with pain and swelling on the mandible, diagnosed as tuberculous osteomyelitis after an initial diagnosis of dentoalveolar abscess. Conclusion: As dentists and as oral medicine practitioners, it is of utmost importance for us to be aware about uncommon diseases affecting the jaws such as tuberculous osteomyelitis, which tend to mimic dental infections in some cases to prevent misdiagnosis and provide holistic care to the patient.

Introduction: Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) of the jaws is not a common lesion. Only five cases are reported in the mandibular condyle. Observation: A 25 year-old male presented with preauricular swelling and a premature occlusal contact on the molars. The lesion had radiological features of aggressiveness and a high metabolic uptake. Initial biopsy was misleading. The lesion was treated surgically by resection. Discussion: Histologically, CGCG are very similar to other giant cell lesions such as GCT (Giant cell Tumor) or BTH (brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism). The standard treatment is surgical either by curettage or resection. Only 6 cases have been described in the literature, including this one. The diagnosis is difficult, relying on a bundle of clinical, radiological and histological arguments. However, radical surgery should be performed to avoid the tumor recurrence. The genetic mutations associated with CGCG (notably TRPV4 and RAS pathway) may explain why this tumor is mostly found in the dental part of the jaws and only rarely in the mandibular condyle.
