“…What motivated this patient to visit the orthodontics department was her dissatisfaction with the appearance of the orofacial set, especially smile aesthetics. Before setting a treatment goal, the most important factor is a correct diagnosis; an incorrect diagnosis can easily cause treatment failure, for example, regarding a linear white patch starting along the gingiva and progressing to involve the mucosal surfaces, some dentists may consider it a fungal lesion and decide to treat it with nystatin solution (10). Active morphea lesions are especially important to identify, since they may be responsive to treatment with topical and systemic immunomodulatory drugs (11).…”

Background: In this study, the clinical and radiographic manifestations of a patient with linear morphea as well as her clinical features are reported with more emphasis on the oral effects of this connective tissue disease. This patient was referred to the orthodontic department due to the misalignment of her teeth and a diagnosis of linear scleroderma made three years earlier by her dermatologist. The most important intervention in such patients is to not start treatment without knowledge, since it will cause more harm to the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to find the best treatment plan with the fewest complications as soon as possible.

“…Once the disease is clinically inactive, multidisciplinary treatment should focus on improving quality of life by improving cosmesis and joint function (Florez-Pollack et al, 2018). Physiotherapy and reconstructive surgery, such as plastic (Chen et al, 2018;Constantin et al, 2018;Kim et al, 2019), orthopedics (Mishima et al, 2018;Schoch et al, 2018), and dental treatment (Florez-Pollack et al, 2018;Lopez Pineiro et al, 2019) , should be undertaken when the disease remission is achieved for at least 6 months without treatment.…”

En coup de sabre is an unusual variant of localized scleroderma characterized by its distinct location involving the frontoparietal region of the forehead and scalp. The authors describe a rare case of en coup de sabre in a 3-year-old boy whose disease onset was at 12 months of age. This article presents the clinical manifestations of continuous changes in the lesion photographed over time. The clinical presentation, laboratory results, and radiological findings together with a brief discussion of the management of the disease are discussed.
