Lip carcinoma is a common cancer of the head and neck region and it more commonly affects the lower lip (>90%). Out of all the carcinomas affecting the lower lip, squamous cell carcinoma accounts for 95% of the patients. Reconstruction of lower lip is a challenging task, as it requires taking into consideration the restoration of function as well as aesthetics. In this study, a patient for whom successful reconstruction of lower lip defect was done using the Karapandzic flap was presented.

Dentigerous cysts form by accumulation of fluid between reduced enamel epithelium and the crown of an unerupted tooth. They cause several difficulties such as swelling, non-eruption of the involved teeth, and displacement of adjacent teeth, and thus require early detection and prompt treatment. Treatment ranges from marsupialisation to enucleation. We report a case of a 20-year-old boy with an impacted central incisor in the maxillary region. The tooth was completely placed in proximity to the nasal floor. Surgical removal of the impacted central incisor was performed under local anesthesia without disturbing the floor of the nose and granulation tissue was sent for hisptopathological diagnosis. Hisptopathological diagnosis reveals dentigerous cyst.
