A seropositive patient who developed a granular cell tumor on the dorsum of the tongue is referred. The lesion was surgically excised. His clinical state is thoroughly studied, along with the histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations findings. Numerous histogenesis theories and the appropriate tumor treatment are mentioned within the article being always in accordance with the relative literature. The case mentioned contributes to the literature by being the first report of a seropositive patient with a tongue granular cell tumor ever noted.

Talon cusp is an uncommon dental anomaly characterized by the presence of an accessory cusp-like structure projecting from the cingulum area of an anterior teeth. This anomaly generally poses problems for the patient in terms of esthetics, caries control and occlusal accommodation. This cases report with mini-review presents a brief classification of talon cusp, summary of published case report worldwide, and a unique occurrence of maxillary talon cusp in a 23-year female and 9-year male patient. The clinical and radiographic findings, along with the management of this rare dental anomaly are discussed.

This study used CBCT to examine the greater palatine foramen in Tunisian patients, aiming to provide crucial anatomical information for administering greater palatine nerve block anesthesia and identifying appropriate locations for harvesting palatal donor tissue. A total of 63 CBCT scans were conducted on Tunisian patients. All patients had fully erupted first, second, and third molars, leading to the examination of 100 greater palatine foramina (GPF). The evaluation of the GPFs encompassed their positioning, Antero-posterior (AP) and latero-medial (LM) diameters, as well as their distances from both the midline maxillary suture (MMS) and the alveolar ridge top (ART). The measurements were conducted using the distance measuring tool of Romexis® viewer software. The IBM® SPSS® version 20.0 statistical package was used to carry out all statistical analyses. The study included 100 CBCTs, with participants consisting of 37 males (58.73%) and 26 females (41.27%), having an average age of 34±12 years. Among the 100 GPFs analyzed, 68% were near the third molar, 23% were situated behind it, and 9% were positioned opposite to the second molar. The average AP and LM diameters were 4.64mm (±1.15) and 2.53mm (±0.68), respectively. The mean distances to the MMS and ART were 13.9mm (±1.51) and 11.45mm (±2.09), respectively. Among Tunisian patients, the GPF position is quite variable, seldom found opposite to the second molar, and tends to be in closer proximity to the third molar.

Because of the intimate physical link between the primary tooth and the permanent tooth germ, traumatic dental injuries in the primary dentition might impair the development of permanent teeth, particularly in the maxillary front region. Dilaceration is a condition that is commonly encountered as a result of dental trauma and is defined as an abrupt deviation along the long axis of the tooth that can be visible between the crown, root, or both. Due to their location within the esthetic zone, such teeth present a special difficulty to the pediatric dentist. This article aims to describe a case of a 09-year-old female patient with an ectopic permanent maxillary central incisor, which was diagnosed as dilacerated after the radiographic examination. The case was managed with an interceptive approach using a Hawley palate.
