The prophylactic excision of hairy nevus can be problematic due to the high esthetic nature of the affected area. Closure of the excisional defect by undermining the surrounding tissue followed by primary closure was questionable. A 20-year-old female patient reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Swargiya Dadasaheb Kalmegh Smruti Dental College and Hospital, Nagpur having hairy nevus in the left cheek region undergoing excisional biopsy utilizing contemporary cosmetic surgery approaches was selected. The patient had successful removal of hairy nevus and primary closure was achieved with good cosmetic result. The use of contemporary cosmetic surgical approach for the excisional biopsy of hairy nevus by primary closure as an option for tissue expansion provides adequate surgical access, a cosmetically acceptable result, and is well-tolerated by patients.

An endo-perio lesion has been one of the prevalent issues affiliated with the tooth. The cutaneous involvement of pulpal and inflammatory periodontal pathology can perplex the diagnosis and treatment planning. The present case report shows the synergic effect of endodontic, periodontal, and esthetic therapy. The treatment includes root canal therapy and open debridement followed by the placement of ""sticky bone"" graft and guided tissue regeneration membrane over the osseous defect site. After 6 months, a coronally advanced tunneling procedure with connective tissue graft placement was performed to improve esthetics. The patient was followed up for 1 year. Clinically, there was a reduction in probing pocket depth, increase in attached gingiva, and improvement in gingival biotype. Radiographically, there was a resolution of periapical radiolucency and a significant amount of bone fill was observed. Hence, the coactive effect of various regenerative materials with root canal sealing had significantly improved both clinical and radiographic features of the endo-perio lesion.

The mandible is very important bone of human body but surgical resection of the mandible due to the presence of benign or malignant tumor causes of the mandibular deviation and loss of various functions. The clinician must wait for proper healing of the wound before giving any prosthesis. This case report presents a case of the removable type of guide flange prosthesis for a hemimandibulectomy and hemimaxillectomy patient. This prosthesis helped the patient in preventing deviation and improved mastication and enhanced the overall quality of life of the patient.

Dental implants have gained popularity in the field of dentistry recently. There are multiple reasons for gaining this popularity, which include quick restoration of the function and esthetic. Along with many benefits, these dental implants are associated with many complications leading toward its failure. We present a case of displaced maxillary dental implants into the maxillary sinus. A 72-year-old male referred to our dental outpatient department complaining of pain, right nasal blockage, and headache at the right side of facial region. No intraoral soft or hard tissue abnormality was found on inspection. Orthopantomogram was advised and maxillary implants were found displaced into maxillary sinus or infratemporal fossa. Computed tomography scan investigation was done to see the exact location, and the implants were removed through Caldwell-Luc approach.

“No one should die with their teeth in a glass of water” – Per Ingvar Branemark. The quote by the father of modern implantology revolutionized the field of dentistry. The introduction of implants provided with a promise of better lifestyle to the geriatric patients with a boon of fixed prosthesis in edentulous arches. Loose and unstable lower complete dentures due to the resorbed alveolar ridge are the most common scenario with edentulous patients. In contrast to rehabilitation with grafting the ridge and improving the dimensions, which would be time-consuming as well as costly for the patient, short implants would provide a better alternative. The case report focuses on rehabilitation of mandibular arch using short implants of 6 mm length.
