Drug-induced gingival enlargement is the term now used to describe medication-related gingival hypertrophy or hyperplasia, a condition commonly induced by three main classes of drugs: anticonvulsants, antihypertensive calcium channel blockers and the immunosuppressant cyclosporine. The pathogenesis of drug-induced gingival enlargement is uncertain and there appears to be no unifying hypothesis that links together the three commonly implicated drugs. Phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth is a well known and frequently reported gingival lesion, which was first detected in 1939. This case report consists of phenytoin usage, duration and poor oral hygiene.

Coronal fractures of the anterior teeth are a common form of dental trauma and its sequelae may impair the establishment and accomplishment of an adequate treatment plan. Among the various treatment options, reattachment of a crown fragment is a conservative treatment that should be considered for crown fractures of anterior teeth. This clinical case reports the management of two coronal tooth fracture cases that were successfully treated using tooth fragment reattachment using glass-fibre-reinforced composite post.

Acromegaly is a rare metabolic condition in adults caused due to over secretion of growth hormone mostly due to pituitary gland adenomas.Disproportionate skeletal, tissue and organ growth are characteristic of acromegaly but the changes may be so insidious that most of the times go unnoticed by the patient and family. Craniofacial soft tissue and skeletal changes including mandibular prognathism and disturbed occlusion are typical manifestations of the disease process. Dental professionals may be the first healthcare providers to be visited by these patients and thereby prove instrumental in early diagnosis. Here we report the diagnosis of a case of acromegaly in a dental setup.

Background:Nasal features are important in treatment planning for orthodontic treatment.Aims and Objectives:The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between maxillary inclination and nasal morphology in males.Materials and Methods:Forty-five samples were selected for the study between the age group of 18 and 30 years. Selected individuals were subjected to cephalometric radiography. These lateral cephalograms were traced and divided into three groups on the basis of the angle given by Schwarz for rotation of the maxilla. The nasal features of these groups were evaluated and compared using mean, standard deviation, Student's t-test and analysis of variance.Results:The results suggest that there was statistically significant difference in nasal height, nasal bone length (NBL), nasal depth, nasolabial angle (NLA), nasal tip angle and upper lip inclination angle in different maxillary inclination group.Conclusion:The nasal height, NBL, NLA and nasal tip angle had a maximum value in retro inclination group.

While there is a hereditary component to tori, this does not explain all cases. Tori tend to appear more frequently during middle age of life. Certain ethnic groups are more prone to one torus or the other. Torus is mainly removed owing to prosthodontic reasons, as it may also be used as biomaterial, not only in periodontology, but also in implantology. This case report deals with the surgical removal of mandibular tori and is thereby improving clinical implications and serving as an adequate autogenous bone graft.
