Peripheral tuberculous lymphadenitis or "scrofula" refers to lymphadenopathy of the neck, typically resulting from an infection in the lymph nodes caused by either tuberculous or non-tuberculous mycobacteria. It is the most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, with the cervical lymph nodes being the most commonly affected sites. The usual signs and symptoms include the appearance of a chronic, painless mass in the neck that persists and usually grows over time. This mass is called a "cold abscess" because there is no accompanying local warmth or redness, and the overlying skin acquires a violaceous color. Epidemiological characteristics differ from those of pulmonary tuberculosis, and clinical manifestations may vary, making diagnosis challenging. Response to therapy may be slow or paradoxical, with frequent development of enlarging or new lymph nodes during and even after effective treatment. This case report presents a 27-year-old male patient with progressive swelling in the right submandibular region.
Among all malocclusions, Angle's Class II malocclusion is the most prevalent, which may be either skeletal or dental and present with different clinical manifestations. There are a number of appliances to treat such malocclusion in a growing child, including extra-oral appliances, functional appliances, and fixed functional appliances. On the other hand, correction of Class II malocclusions in non-growing patients usually involves orthognathic surgery or selective removal of permanent teeth, with subsequent dental camouflage to mask the underlying skeletal discrepancy. Fixed functional appliances are indicated for Class II corrections in patients who report late with minimal residual growth left. This article discusses a case of Class II skeletal and dental malocclusion treated with a Preadjusted Edgewise Appliance (PEA) supplemented with the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (FORSUS).
Successful treatment with the two-implant overdenture has been documented with multiple implant designs, such as hexagonal, Morse taper, and internal connection, and many implant systems. Clinicians may select implants for retention of the two-implant overdenture according to personal experience and preference, with confidence that treatment success will not be determined by the selection made. This is primarily due to the anatomy and density of the bone in the anterior mandible. The aim of this case report is to demonstrate the concept of immediate functional loading in the mandible using unsplinted implants to support a locator attachment-supported overdenture.
Navigation surgery is applicable in any circumstance, whether a three-dimensional surgical plan from computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is translated into surgical reality. However, it is not always easy due to the absolute limitation of access or lack of anatomical landmarks. For successful navigation surgery, it is essential to know digital recording, intraoperative tissue position, and its changes. In maxillofacial surgery, navigational stereotaxy is highly beneficial, particularly for orbital reconstruction and hemifacial syndromes. Modern navigation systems have multiple options for referring to patient anatomy, especially for movable structures like the mandible and tongue.
Ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary condition associated with the defective development of two or more tissues of ectodermal origin, primarily affecting the skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, and teeth. The characteristic clinical features include hypotrichosis, hypohydrosis or anhydrosis, and hypodontia or anodontia. These clinical features cause aesthetic, functional, phonetic, and psychological disturbances in the patient. Dental management of young ectodermal dysplasia patients is difficult as these children are psychologically immature. Therefore, in addition to extensive dental treatment, proper understanding and handling of child psychology are also necessary. This case report describes the dental management of a six-year-old male child with ectodermal dysplasia using a staged treatment plan.
