Objective. The objective of this retrospective chart review study was twofold. The first was to determine whether there is a correlation between the degree of overjet and the type of anterior traumatic dental injury (ATDI) in the mixed dentition. The second was to assess whether the decision to not treat young patients with prominent upper front teeth for trauma prevention resulted in a greater number of ATDI's in patients of record from a single-center. Study Design. The authors conducted a retrospective chart review of patients presenting to the Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) Emergency Department with an ATDI in the mixed dentition between October 2011 and March 2016. Results. Patients with an overjet less than or equal to 4 millimeters experienced all types of ATDI with greater frequency than those patients with an overjet greater than 4 mm. Conclusions. Our experience at BCH described in this study has led us to believe that a patient's risk of suffering an ATDI has more to do with the type of activities they participate in rather than the degree of their overjet.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is estimated to impact millions of people each year. However, there is no established gold standard for its treatment. Bupropion is a norepinephrine and a dopamine reuptake inhibitor and has been implicated as a potential treatment for POTS. We performed a non-randomized retrospective chart review on 47 patients with POTS with statistical analysis evaluating for significant findings including reduced orthostasis and improvement of symptoms with the use of bupropion. Bupropion was not associated with a statistically significant improvement in orthostatic vitals but there was an overall reduction in reported syncope. While the use of bupropion does not show a statistically significant impact on orthostatic vitals in patients with POTS, it did show a degree of improvement in syncope and as such might be useful in patients with syncope-predominant POTS.

Partial unilateral lentiginosis (PUL) is an unusual pigmentary disorder characterized by numerous lentigines grouped within an area of normal skin. Although treatment is not necessary, many patients with facial PUL seek medical help for cosmetic reasons. There is no established standard treatment for PUL. Conventional lasers may cause postinflammatory hyperpigmentation because keratinocytes are injured during the process. Also, scarring, long downtime, and pain are important issues. A 19-year-old patient with facial PUL was successfully treated with low-fluence 1,064-nm Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (QS Nd:YAG) laser. Although the exact mechanism by which low-fluence 1,064-nm QS Nd:YAG laser improves pigmentary lesions is unclear, the terms “subcellular selective photothermolysis” and “melanocyte apoptosis and replacement” have been proposed. If appropriate measures are taken to monitor patient response during and after the procedure, low-fluence 1,064-nm QS Nd:YAG laser may achieve good cosmetic results in the treatment of PUL with a very safe and effective profile.
