TL;DR: A case of 45yr old female with a root coverage procedure has been reported and the esthetic demand together with reduction of root sensitivity and management of root caries or cervical abrasion are the main indication for root coverage.
Abstract: Gingival recession is defined as Displacement of soft tissue margin apical to the cemento-enamel junction. The esthetic demand together with reduction of root sensitivity and management of root caries or cervical abrasion are the main indication for root coverage. The root coverage procedure is quite predictable and also produces patient satisfaction. This paper reports a case of 45yr old female with a root coverage procedure has been discussed below.

TL;DR: Facial neuralgias are produced by a change in neurological structure or function and this type of neuropathic pain affects the mental health as well as quality of life of patients.
Abstract: Facial neuralgias are produced by a change in neurological structure or function. This type of neuropathic pain affects the mental health as well as quality of life of patients. There are different types of neuralgias affecting the oral and maxillofacial region. These unusual pains are linked to some possible mechanisms. Various diagnostic tests are done to diagnose the proper cause of facial neuralgia and according to it the medical and surgical treatment is done to provide relief to patient.

TL;DR: A case of oral submucous fibrosis occurring in a 35 year old man is presented, which results in difficulty in laryngoscopy and intubations of the trachea.
Abstract: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a pre-malignant lesion of the buccal mucosa caused by chewing betel quid. It results in the progressive inability to open the mouth. Patients with OSMF require anesthesia for trismus correction, resection and reconstructive surgery for coexisting oral malignancies or other unrelated surgeries. OSMF causes trismus, which results in difficulty in laryngoscopy and intubations of the trachea. A case of oral submucous fibrosis occurring in a 35 year old man is presented.

TL;DR: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type is generally considered the least severe type of EDS, although significant complications, primarily musculoskeletal, can and do occur.
Abstract: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type is generally considered the least severe type of EDS, although significant complications, primarily musculoskeletal, can and do occur. The skin is often soft or velvety and may be mildly hyperextensible. Subluxations and dislocations are common; they may occur spontaneously or with minimal trauma and can be acutely painful. Degenerative joint disease is common. Chronic pain, distinct from that associated with acute dislocations or advanced osteoarthritis, is a serious complication of the condition and can be both physically and psychologically disabling. Easy bruising is common.

TL;DR: Treatment of a 12 - year old male with generalized aggressive periodontitis consisted of thorough training in techniques of plaque control, scaling and root planning and administration of tetracycline 250 mg every six hours for three weeks, as well as combined surgery and antibiotic therapy.
Abstract: Aggressive periodontitis which is an uncommon condition is characterized by severe loss of attachment and destruction of alveolar bone around one or more permanent teeth during the period of pubescence. Aggressive periodontitis have localized and generalized forms. It is currently believed that combination of bacteriologic, immunologic and hereditary factors are of major importance in the etiology of this disease. The case was of a 12 - year old male and his clinical and radiographic findings were typical for generalized aggressive periodontitis. Treatment consisted of thorough training in techniques of plaque control, scaling and root planning and administration of tetracycline 250 mg every six hours for three weeks, as well as combined surgery and antibiotic therapy. But both failed to cure or control the disease mostly because of the non-cooperation with the oral hygiene instructions.
