Aim: To report the clinical case of a child with facial and periorbital emphysema caused by an orthodontic device. Case report: An 11-year-old child presented to our clinic showing moderate swelling of the left facial area. Based on his dental history, physical findings, and instrument examinations, the diagnosis of cervicofacial emphysema was established, caused by disengagement of the facebow. One week later, all swelling and crepitus had disappeared without complications. Most patients who develop subcutaneous emphysema after a dental procedure have only moderate local swelling, which normally resolves spontaneously and without complications within a week. However, the spread of large amounts of air into the deeper spaces may cause life-threatening sequelae. Conclusions: Orthodontists should be aware that the use of extraoral traction applied via a facebow can cause soft tissue injures and emphysema of the cervicofacial region. It is important to avoid misdiagnosis and to appropriately inform patient and parents about this condition.

Background: Loss of bone and soft tissue attachment are common sequelae of periodontitis that may jeopardize the aesthetic outcome and compromise the functional and aesthetic outcomes of treatment. The following case report describes one of the most predictable techniques of vertical ridge augmentation, which is orthodontic extrusion or forced eruption of hopeless teeth. Method: A 34-year-old woman who presented with severe attachment loss and deep pockets was diagnosed with generalized aggressive periodontitis. The mobile maxillary incisors were consequently extracted and were replaced with dental implants. However, prior to extraction, orthodontic extrusion of the hopeless incisors was performed to correct vertical ridge defects. Following extrusion and extraction of the maxillary incisors, to prevent soft tissue collapse and to preserve the papillae during socket healing, the crowns of the extracted teeth were used as pontics on a removable partial provisional denture. After 8 weeks, the implants were placed, and an immediate functional restoration was delivered. After 4 months of healing, a fixed definitive partial prosthesis was fabricated and delivered. Result: After periodontal treatment, over a 2-year period, the progression of aggressive periodontitis was controlled. The mean vertical movement of marginal bone was 3.6 mm. The use of the crowns of extracted teeth appears to be an effective method to maintain papillae. Conclusions: Orthodontic extrusion is a predictable method for the correction of vertical ridge defects. Orthodontic treatment does not aggravate or hasten the progression of aggressive periodontitis.

Purposes: Prosthesis-related Fibrous Hyperplasia, also many times referred as epulis fissuratum, is one of the most common benign oral soft tissue lesion, that appears due to chronic trauma, usually caused by a poorly adapted prosthesis. It is more common in the anterior region of the maxilla, being an exophytic lesion, which affects mainly elderly and female patients. Our aim is to present the usefulness of Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers in the surgical treatment of an Prosthesis-related Fibrous Hyperplasia (PRFH). Case report: The present paper reports a clinical case of two PRFH located in the maxillary vestibulum mucosa and in the palate in a 56-year-old female, caused by a poorly adapted prosthesis. For excision of the lesions in the vestibule and palate we used Er:YAG Laser (2940nm) and ND:YAG (1064nm), respectively. In the postoperative period, the patient did not report any discommodity, and presented a good tissue healing. Histological examination revealed the presence of Fibrous Hyperplasia. Conclusions: Elimination of PRFH is the treatment of choice with the confection of a new prosthesis. The two lesions were correctly eliminated, with the use of an Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers, with excellent recover and without recurrence.
