Cherubism is a rare familial multilocular cystic lesion of the jaws. The condition clinically appears as a bilateral symmetric swelling of the cheeks in children and is the primary reason for referral. It is a rare lesion of the jaws that has a dominant pattern of inheritance. We report two cases of cherubism, that of a boy and his mother suggestive of a strong familial incidence. A variety of lesions of the jaw mimic this condition and hence the differential diagnosis has been emphasised.

Simple bone cyst is a benign pseudo cystic cavity in the bone that is less commonly associated in the maxillofacial region. The other synonyms are traumatic bone cyst or idiopathic bone cyst. These cysts are devoid of an epithelial lining and usually contain straw-colored fluid or is empty. Simple bone cyst is mainly seen in young individuals, frequently during the first and second decade of life. Here we report a case of simple bone cyst of a mandibular anterior region in a 21-year-old patient.

Carbon dioxide laser is a highly effective tool for numerous intraoral surgical procedures. Its use for sialolithotomy has been well documented in the literature because of its ability to achieve hemostasis at the time of incision of the Wharton's duct and the painless nature of the procedure requiring just topical anesthesia or local anesthetic nerve block at the most. As carbon dioxide laser has a high absorption coefficient for water, saliva in the oral cavity acts as a substrate and hence the deeper penetration of the beam and subsequent injury to adjacent structures is prevented. We describe a case of a giant sialolith of the Wharton's duct, which was successfully removed by carbon dioxide laser-assisted sialolithotomy.

Surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars are the most commonly performed minor surgical procedures by maxillofacial surgeon. If not treated can lead to few complications like pericoronitis, root resorption of second molar, caries of second molar, cyst and tumours can arise from them. The common complications include swelling, hematoma, trismus and lingual nerve injuries. In this article 1000 cases of various types impactions were surgically operated and assessment of lingual nerve injury was done.

Aim: Assessment Of Bone Regeneration After Placement Of Immediate Implants Using Sticky Bone And CGF Membrane. Materials And Methods: The study was performed in a series of 10 patients aged 25- 40 years with hopeless prognosis of tooth and needing immediate implant replacement. After placement of implants, the sites were augmented with sticky bone and CGF membrane. The bone regeneration was assessed radiologicaly in 3, 6 and 12 months. The results were recorded. Results: There was statistical significance comparative with intraoperative and 3,6,12 months postoperative was (p=0.001),(p=0.002),(p=0.004) suggesting there was significant difference there. Conclusion: It was concluded thatImmediate implant placement along with sticky bone grafting provides good implant success with bone regeneration surrounding the implant.
