Similar studies may be conducted in different population to rule out any possible racial and regional influences on growth characteristics.The technique of neutral zone is useful. It is the convergence of many concepts and ideas into a feasible and functional method. The technique aims to build a denture in accordance with the underlying oral structures that are formed by muscle function. It acts as an alternative technique in case of highly atrophic ridges. With a history of denture instability, it is most successful. This paper seeks to provide information with an enclosure of a patient input study to use the technique.Placing objects in the mouth by children get accidentally implanted in the oral cavity, ingested, or aspirated. The incidence of foreign bodies is usually higher in the zone of head and neck than other regions of the human body. Usually, foreign bodies are symptomatic and signs of inflammation pain and purulent discharge are shown. This paper describes an unusual case of traumatic foreign body (pen cover) accidently moved in the retromolar area causing recurrent facial swelling, purulent discharge, and reduced mouth opening.

To present a brief overview of etiopathogenesis, nomenclature, and treatment modality for a case of nonsyndromic bilateral cysts in the mandible.

Odontogenic cysts, though comprise a distinct group of lesions have on and off posed challenges in etiopathogenesis and nomenclature. The prima facia role of development/inflammation in the buildup of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium attached at the cementoenamel junction and the enamel in the pathogenesis of dentigerous cysts has long been discussed. Along with this, the spread of inflammatory exudate from an overlying primary tooth could also be the source of an inflammatory dentigerous cyst.

Bilateral swellings in a 12-year-old patient presented with a chief complaint of pain in the lower jaw for 4 months. The radiographic picture exhibited unilocular, well-circumscribed radiolucent areas extending from 34 to 37 on the left side and from 44 to 47 on the right side of the mandible and involving retained mandibular second premolars on both sides.

Mere expansion of a follicle due to inflammation from an overlying infected/necrosed/treated primary tooth in which the reduced enamel epithelium does not appear to be attached at the cementoenamel junction should be aptly referred to as an “inflammatory follicular cyst”.

The present article attempts to illuminate the notable differences between dentigerous cysts and inflammatory follicular cysts of jaws which requires an adequate distinction in pediatric cases for diagnostic and management considerations.

The aim and objective of this report is to describe the dental management of 11-year-old patient with type III osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).

Osteogenesis imperfecta or brittle bone disease is caused by mutations in the collegen type I gene which is a heterogeneous rare connective tissue disorder. Dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing impairment, scoliosis, sclera is blue, hyperlaxity of ligaments, and fragile skin are other common features. Individuals having positive family history suggest a straightforward diagnosis of OI but can be difficult in the absence of affected family.

We report a case of 11-year-old boy, with a chief complaint of pain and swelling on the lower left back tooth region which was associated with extraoral draining sinus. His medical history revealed multiple fractures sustained during routine handling. On examination, the child was pale, dyspneic, with rhizomelic dwarfism, and relative macrocephaly with frontal bossing. On the grounds of history taken, clinical examination and respeFragile and Brittle Bone Disease or Osteogenesis Imperfecta A Case Report. Int J Clin Pediatr Dent 2020;13(4)425-428.

The present report aims to present a case of delayed eruption of permanent maxillary central incisors in an 11-year-old male child due to the presence of two supernumerary teeth in anterior maxilla.

In this case, clinical and radiographic assessment revealed the presence of two supernumerary teeth palatal to unerupted maxillary permanent central incisors. These teeth were removed surgically under local anesthesia and were diagnosed as supplemental incisor, and the other appeared like tuberculate with dens invaginatus.

The permanent incisors erupted spontaneously within 6 months follow-up after extraction of the two supernumerary teeth without any orthodontic interception.

A class II division 2 type of malocclusions is one in which there is distocclusion of the molars along with retroclined central incisors. These occur but quite rarely in the practice and not many varieties of treatment modalities have been published in the recent literature. The use of protraction and retraction utility arch has been advocated in the following case along with fixed orthodontic treatment in a prepubertal male child to obtain stable results.
