SUMMARYMethotrexate (MTX) is an antimetabolite which interferes with DNA synthesis. It is used for the treatment of many diseases, such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and various neoplastic diseases. It may cause, among various adverse reactions, oral ulceration and oral mucositis. 3 cases of methotrexate related oral ulcers are reported along with a brief review of the relevant literature.

SUMMARYMaxillofacial trauma, any physical trauma in the face, can involve soft tissues (lacerations, avulsions, bruises etc), bone injuries (fractures and dislocation), avulsed or fractured teeth (dental issues) and special regions (nerves, eyes, salivary glands etc). As the most exposed part of the human body, the face can be susceptible to injuries in work-related accidents. Occupational accident in the maxillofacial region rates 0.9-5% and, in some cases, can reach 9%. Based on their occupation, patients are classified as farm and forestry workers, construction workers, factory workers, craftsmen, service workers, and office workers.This paper describes a rare case of a farm-related maxillofacial trauma in a 50-year-old woman and a brief review of the relevant literature.

SummaryPeripheral giant cell granuloma is the most common jaw located giant cell lesion. It originates from periosteum or from periodontal membrane as a response to local irritation or chronic trauma. It appears as a firm, soft or elastic nodule, sessile or pedunculated. Early and accurate diagnosis leads to sufficient management, minimizing possible damage of the adjacent tissues.This article reports the management of a peripheral giant cell granuloma in a 40-year-old male patient.
