Introduction: Vitiligo is a non-contagious leukoderma. The loss of melanocytes result in a local hypopigmentation like white symmetrical plaques with sharp edges, most of the time surrounded by hyperpigmentation. It might be an auto immune disease with a genetic predisposition linked to psychological disorders. Oral mucosa vitiligo has rarely been described in the literature. Observation: A seventeen years old patient, native from North Africa, has consulted for a half left upper lip depigmentation appeared in October 2016. The dermatologist had made the diagnosis of vitiligo and prescribed vitamin C and folic acid, without any result. In July 2017, as the lesion has extended to the whole upper lip, the patient came to oral mucosa pathology consultation. Anamnesis revealed a chronic lips chewing. Clinical examination revealed a linear vermillion border depigmentation of the upper lip associated with peripheral pigment enhancement, as well as digital cutaneous involvement. The prescribed treatment was: tacrolimus 0.1% twice daily in local application, stopping practice disorder and sun protection. Comment: Diagnosis of vitiligo is based on clinical examination that can differentiate a segmental vitiligo (localized on at least one dermatomes) of a non-segmental vitiligo (acrofacial, generalized, universalis). Vitiligo of the oral mucosa is rare. It has mainly been described in India. Oral mucosa involvement would affect 55% of patient and the lip would be affected in almost one in two cases in this population. Conclusion: Oral mucosa vitiligo must be known by oral surgeon who has to master the diagnosis and treatments in association with dermatologist, given the concomitant skin involvement that is almost mandatory.

Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune intraepithelial blistering disease involving the skin and mucous membranes. Oral mucosa is frequently affected in patients with PV, and oral lesions may be the first sign of the disease in majority of patients. In some patients, oral lesions may also be followed by skin involvement. Therefore, timely recognition and therapy of oral lesions is critical as it may prevent skin involvement. Early oral lesions of PV are, however, often regarded as difficult to diagnose, since the initial oral lesions may be relatively nonspecific, manifesting as superficial erosions or ulcerations, and rarely presenting with the formation of intact bullae. Lesions may occur anywhere on the oral mucosa including gingiva; however; desquamtive gingivitis is less common with PV than other mucocutaneous conditions such as pemphigoid or lichen planus. This paper describes the case of a patient presenting with a one-year history of painful gingival, who is finally diagnosed as having PV.

The Individual

 The lip brake is a fold in the oral mucosa, originating in the upper lip and insertion in the alveolar mucosa. At birth, the labial frenum may be inserted in the palatal papilla. As the individual grows, he can migrate to a more upper region, featuring a normal lip curl. However, when it remains inserted in the papilla, it is a case of hypertrophic lip curl. When pathological, this structure can promote the formation of interincisal diastema, periodontal pocket, gingival retraction, aesthetic problems, difficulties in phonation and brushing. The objective of this article is to report a clinical case of upper lip frenectomy using the double clamping technique or Archer technique, performed at the Oral Minor Surgery clinic of the Dentistry School of the Federal Fluminense University, in a male patient, leucoderma, 23 years old, indicated by his orthodontist after recurrence of interincisal diastema. From the procedure performed, it can be concluded that the surgical intervention and the applied technique were effective in solving the reported clinical case.

AbstractThe normal variant in the oral mucosa is a nonpathological condition. Clinical examination must be carefully performed to avoid misdiagnosis as pathological condition. We reported two rare cases of pigmented fungiform papillae and lingual fimbria. Case 1 presented a 22-year-old Javanese man, with no systemic disease and several dark patches over the tongue for2 years. Case 2 presented a 21-year-old Javanese woman with dark patches over the dorsal and lateral of the tongue which had been known for over 4 to 5 months. Both patients had no systemic issues and there were no complaints about the patches. The dark patches, which appeared in both cases, were found together with linear small bumps on the ventral surface of the tongue and near the lingual frenulum. Further examination and specific treatment were not carried out, in accordance with the condition on the tongue.

Histopathologic Analysis

INTRODUCTION: The nasolabial cyst is classified in the group of non-odontogenic epithelial developmental cysts. Their occurrence is rare, however, they are located in the nasolabial sulcus, close to the alar insertion in the nose, external to the maxillary bone tissue. It is characterized as a floating tumor, generally asymptomatic, which promotes elevation on the nasal ala. OBJECTIVE: To report a case of nasolabial cyst addressing clinical, histopathological and radiological aspects, in order to alert professionals as regards their responsibility in diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Female patient with a swelling in the region of the upper lip and nasal ala. After clinical examination, radiographic examination, puncture and aspiration, total surgical enucleation of the cyst was performed and the material collected was sent for histopathologic analysis. CONCLUSION: the dentist must be alert in order to make an early diagnosis, because it is not uncommon to overlook the lesion in the early stages.

Detailed Assessment

Gingival overgrowth is the enlargement of gingival tissues and has various underlying aetiological factors. This case report highlights the multifactorial aetiology of gingival overgrowth for a patient who was prescribed an immunosuppressive strategy following renal transplantation, had poor levels of oral hygiene and a diet deficient in fruit and vegetables. The report highlights the importance of a detailed assessment to identify all underlying factors and demonstrates how a referral to the specialist services for gingival overgrowth led to a diagnosis of vitamin C deficiency. It also illustrates how both patient engagement and a conservative cause-related therapy can achieve a satisfactory resolution without any surgical intervention. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case report highlights the importance of a detailed assessment to diagnose all relevant underlying aetiological factors involved in the development of gingival overgrowth. It also illustrates how both patient engagement and a conservative cause-related therapy can achieve a satisfactory resolution of gingival overgrowth without any surgical intervention.
