This review will focus on recent knowledge related to circulating autoantigens and autoantibodies in ovarian carcinoma diagnosis. Since autoantigens and autoantibodies have been identified in the circulation of patients with early-stage cancer, it has been speculated that the assessment such panel specific for ovarian carcinoma might hold great potential as a novel tool for early diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma.

Giant cell fibroma is relatively new and rare entity, commonly seen in gingiva. It is a benign non-neoplastic lesion of oral cavity. It manifests clinically as a slow-growing, asymptomatic, sessile or pedunculated mass with a maximum diameter of 0.5 to 1 cm. These lesions commonly occurs in young individuals and have no sex predilection. Histopathological findings of giant cell fibroma show a presence of the stellate fibroblasts with multinucleated giant cells. This report is a case of giant cell fibroma, occuring on the right buccal mucosa in a 14 year old female patient. Surgical excision of the lesion was planned using a diode laser followed by photo-biomodulation. Post surgically healing was satisfactory, with no significant scar tissue formation and follow up showed no recurrence of lesion.

Dental implants have become one of the most popular treatment options for the replacement of a missing tooth due to their high aesthetics and close resemblance to a natural tooth. Although dental implants have a high success rate, they can be complicated by infections. Retrograde peri-implantitis is a clinically symptomatic periapical lesion that is diagnosed as a radiolucency that develops shortly after implant insertion, in which the coronal portion of the implant achieves a normal bone-implant interface. Many treatment options have been proposed over the year as a treatment modality including conservative approaches such as systemic antibiotics to surgical approach such as implant resection. This is one such case report where we try to surgically treat a case of peri-implantitis with the adjunctive use of a Diode Laser.
