This type of fracture tends to grow and change over time. Clinical diagnosis is difficult because the signs and symptoms are variable or nonspecific and may even resemble post-treatment disease following root canal treatment or periodontal disease. This variety and unpredictability make the cracked tooth a challenging diagnostic entity. In this paper we present a case of cracked tooth and emphasise on the timely proper diagnosis and management.

At the time of treatment, there was an expectation that further orthognathic surgery would be required to correct the skeletal deformity. However, with the release of the ankylosis and growth of the costochondral graft, a good functional and esthetic result was achieved without further surgery. It is important that family dentists be aware of the clinical signs and symptoms of TMJ ankylosis, to allow early diagnosis and treatment.

Cleft Lip and Palate is severe birth defect occur one in 700-1000 newborn infants. As this birth defect hamper the growth, aesthetics, appearances, speech, the overall physical and psychosocial development and well being, so these patients often required generosity, guidance and keen supervision of multiple specialist health professionals. This supervision and monitoring may extended from birth to adulthood even life-longer. For the parents this longer caring period to their beloved baby born with cleft lip and palate may often not be as pleasant and enjoyable as for the normal one.

There is a slight male predominance. More than 80% of salivary calculi occur in the submandibular glands or its duct. It is estimated that sialolithiasis affect 12 of every 1000 patients in the adult population. It is believed that deposition of mineral salts around a nidus of bacteria, mucous, or desquamated cells develops a salivary calculi. The possible aetiological factors for salivary calculi formation are salivary stagnation, increased alkalinity of the saliva, increased calcium content of the saliva, infection or inflammation, or physical trauma of the salivary duct or gland. The submandibular gland is most susceptible for sialolith formation because its saliva is more alkaline,has a higher mucus content,has a greater concentration of calcium and phosphate, has a longer and irregular duct, has antigravity flow. Here report a case of middle aged female patient with sialolith in right submandibular gland successfully treated with surgical removal of the gland containing sialolith.

class I malocclusion with tooth tissue discrepancy could be manage
with the extraction of a lower incisor tooth with a more acceptable
aesthetic outcome. This article describe a cases of class I
malocclusion mange with extracting a mandibular lower incisor
tooth
presented for the treatment for the class II, div 1malocclusions.
Recently a large number of young adults have been seeking
shorter, cost effective and a non surgical correction of Class II
malocclusions and they accept dental camouflage as a treatment option to mask the skeletal discrepancy .This case report presents one such case, a 15years old growing male who has Class II div I malocclusion with sever maxillary incisor proclination, convex profile ,high mandibular plane angle, incompetent lips, increased overjet& overbite, over retained upper left deciduous canine ,impacted upper left canine and a supernumerary tooth in canine region. We considered the camouflage treatment by extracting the upper right first premolar, left impacted canine, deciduous canine
and supernumerary tooth. Following the treatment, a satisfactory result was achieved with an ideal, static and a functional occlusion, facial profile, acceptable smile, competent lip and stable treatment results.
disorder1 that is characterized as a
series of episodes in which a person stops
breathing for 10 seconds or longer during
sleep.2Sleep disordered breathing is a term which
includes simple snoring, upper airway resistance
syndrome, and sleep apnea. Patients present with
various symptoms, although almost all complain of
snoring, witnessed breathing pauses, and excessive
day time sleepiness. Simple snoring is a common
complaint affecting 45% of adults occasionally and
25% of adults habitually and is a sign of upper
airway obstruction.3Sleep apnea has also been
identified as a possible risk factor for hypertension,
dysrhythmias, depression, ischemic heart disease,
and stroke
treatment is performed. Appropriate, comprehensive treatment planning should precede and eliciting the patient's chief complaint, as well as his or her expectations of treatment before treatment planning. The case presentation provides for the practitioner to discuss the patient's expectations and to outline both favourable and unfavourable short and long
term outcomes. By providing this information, the practitioner ensures that the patient is fully informed before giving consent and that he or she understands the associated benefits and risks.
dentofacial deformity could be provided with better
outcome when approach in-combined with orthodontic
and orthognathic surgery than that of single approach
alone. This study describes a case of a 26years old
Bangladeshi female presented with bimaxillary protrusion
treated with the combination of orthodontic and
orthognathic surgery.
with an understanding of the relationship between periodontal health
and orthodontic therap,v. Specific areas reviewed, are how periodon-.
tal tissue reacts to orthodontic forces, intluence of tooth lnovement
on the periodontiunt, effect of orlhodontic bands on the periodontium,
and time relationship between orthodontic treatment and periodontal
therapy. In addition! some focus rvill give on the
relationship between orthodontics and irnplant restorations (e.g.,
using dental implants as orthodontic anchorage).
have always posed a great challenge to the orthodontist to manage
such case. This could largely be attributed to the limitations posed
by the conventional two-dimensional (2D) imaging modalities.
Dental impactions, which can position into various underlying
locations, can be evaluated accurately using cone beam computed
tomography (CBCT) three-dimensional (3D) imaging, rather than
conventional 2D radio-imaging. This article report a case of
orthodontic management of impacted canine of a 13 years old boy
where conventional 2D radio-imaging diagnosis are modified by
cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
soft tissue are rare constituting between 6%-10% of all
malignancies in the region. A few case reports of individual tumors
are available while reviews of significant series is lacking. This
report presents 22 cases of Nonsquamous cell malignant tumors
collected over 8 months at a tertiary oral care centre in Dhaka,
Bangladesh.Objective: To find out the distribution & pattern of
oral nonsquamous cell malignant tumors among all oral malignancy
and to find out the age, sex, site, clinical presentation, the
histological types of these tumors.Method: This descriptive cross
sectional study was done in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Department, Dhaka Dental College and Hospital.The entire patient
histopathologically diagnosed as any type of Nonsquamous cell
tumor were selected. Data were collected in a summarized data
sheet. Then histopathological types of them were analyzed to
indicate the distribution according to age, gender, site and clinical
presentation.Result: There were 107 Oral malignancies of which
22(20.56%) were Nonsquamous cell malignant tumors which is
significant in comparison to Squamous cell carcinoma in
Bangladesh. Among the respondents, 9(40.91%) were diagnosed as
minor salivary glands malignant tumors, 7(31.2%) were diagnosed
as sarcomas, Malignant melanoma were 4(18.18%) and Non-
Hodgkin’s lymphoma were 2(9.09%). The male to female ratio was
1:1.2 with ages were between 9 years to 70 years old (mean age
35.45 ± 21.76 years) with most patients (36.36%) in 16 to 30 years
of life. Cases presented with symptoms such as swelling (100%),
pain, paresthesia, loose tooth and tissue ulceration.
Conclusion: In Dhaka Dental College Hospital, nonsquamous cell
malignant tumors account for 20.56% of all oral malignancies
among them minor salivary glands malignant neoplasm and
malignant melanoma were the predominant type. Most affected
were people in the 2nd and 3rd decades of life with no sex
predilection. Most common site of involvement was maxilla. The
need for improved medical awareness, diagnostic facilities and
upgrading of infrastructure was stressed.
