Behcet's Disease is a multisystem inflammatory disorder in which recurrent oral ulceration is associated with genital ulceration, ocular lesions, pustules, and/or uveitis. The etiology of Behcet's Disease is unknown, and diagnosis is based on clinical grounds only, as there are no established laboratory tests. Treatment options range from topical steroid application to the use of systemic steroid and immunosuppressant agents (e.g. azathioprine, cyclosporine A). Here, we present a rare case of Behcet's syndrome in a 22-year-old man managed successfully with systemic administration of corticosteroids and thalidomide at our department. The patient has been on follow-up for the last three months but later lost follow-up. No recurrence of oral and genital ulcers has occurred during the follow-up period. Behcet's syndrome is an autoimmune condition with no reported cure, and this therapy is aimed at providing symptomatic relief of local symptoms.
Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles with severe destructive periodontitis affecting both primary and permanent teeth, resulting in early tooth loss. Genetic studies have shown that mutations in the major gene locus of chromosome 11q14, with loss of function of the cathepsin C gene, are responsible for PLS. In this report, we describe a case of PLS in a 15-year-old boy and provide a brief review of its clinical presentation, complications, and management.
In the past, successful periodontal treatment was defined by the complete elimination of pockets and the restoration of periodontal health. However, the definition of success has evolved. Now, treatment is considered successful not only when the pocket is eliminated, but also when lost structures are regenerated. Achieving this goal requires surgical skills, proper diagnosis, a well-designed treatment plan, and good patient compliance. This review covers the various causes of treatment failures, along with strategies for prevention.
Surgical management of interdental soft tissues in relation to intrabony defect continues to be a significant problem in Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) procedures, especially in the maxillary anterior region. The most frequent complication are a lack of primary closure, flap dehiscence, membrane exposure, and subsequent bacterial 1-2 contamination and soft-tissue recession.The goal of this procedure is to maintain the integrity of the interproximal soft tissues in the management of deep infrabony defects thereby achieving better esthetics.
This article provides technical details of a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera used for clinical applications in dentistry. The importance of principles governing close-up photography is highlighted. The article also covers the details of image capturing, processing, storing, and manipulation using this 35mm format DSLR camera. With the advent of the digital era, the unique advantages of DSLR cameras over traditional film-based photography are listed.
