While we are unable to discuss all of these entities, we will limit the current discussion to some of the more common ones. two INTRODUCTION Oral health professionals are given the task of maintaining gingival health. Gingivitis and periodontitis are the most common gingival pathology and, in most cases, remediation can be simply achieved by enforcing vigorous plaque control measures.

Ph -09970150760, Email : [email protected] Abstract Mast cells in oral tissues releases various pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-Ü) which promotes leukocyte infiltration in various inflammatory condition of oral cavity such as oral lichen planus (OLP), periapical lesions, gingivitis & periodontitis. T lymphocyte derived cytokines influences mast cell migration & mediator release. Mast cell secreted proteases, activates matrix-metalloprotinases-9 (MMP-9) which may contribute to alteration in basement membrane in inflammatory condition such as Lichen Planus. Hence by understanding the role of mast cells in the pathogenesis of various diseases; therapies should be targeted to enhance the prognosis of the diseases.

Particularly, the presence of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia might, in some cases, lead to the hypothesis of squamous cell carcinoma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recurrence has been reported in up to 15% of cases treated with conventional surgery. Here, we reported a case of GCT of the tongue in a young female patient, which was successfully treated through 445 nm diode laser excision. Laser surgery might reduce bleeding and postoperative pain and may be associated with more rapid healing. Particularly, the vaporization effect on remnant tissues could eliminate GCT cells on the surgical bed, thus hypothetically leading to a lower rate of recurrence. In the present case, complete healing occurred in 1 week, and no recurrence was observed after 6 months. Laser surgery also allows the possibility to obtain second intention healing.

A recent study from this laboratory used microsatellite analysis to evaluate OLP for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at loci on three chromosomal arms (3p, 9p, and 17p) (Am J Path 1997;Vol151:Page323-Page327). Loss on these arms is a common event in oral epithelial dysplasia and has been associated with risk of progression of oral leukoplakia to cancer. The data showed that, although dysplastic epithelium demonstrated a high frequency of LOH (40% for mild dysplasia), a significantly lower frequency of LOH was noted in OLP (6%), which is even lower than that in hyperplasia (14%).

ABSTRACT Mucocele are common salivary gland disorder which can be present in the oral cavity, appendix, gall bladder, paranasal sinuses or lacrimal sac. Common location for these lesions in oral cavity is lower lip however it also presents on other locations like tongue, buccal mucosa, soft palate, retromolar pad and lower labial mucosa. Trauma and lip biting habits are the main cause for these types of lesions. These are painless lesions which can be diagnosed clinically. In this review, a method used for searching data includes various internet sources and relevant electronic journals from the Pub Med and Medline. Keywords: Mucocels, Lower lip, Retention cyst. INTRODUCTION Mucocele is defined as a mucus filled cyst that can Types appear in the oral cavity, appendix, gall bladder, paranasal sinuses or lacrimal sac (Baurmash, 2003; Clinically there are two types, extravasation and retention Ozturk et al., 2005).

The subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) is a highly predictable procedure with low complication rate. The reported early complications consist of typical postsurgical sequelae, such as pain and swelling. This case report describes the development and management of a gingival cyst following SCTG to obtain root coverage. Three weeks after SCTG procedure, a slightly raised, indurated, ∼5 mm diameter asymptomatic lesion was evident. Excisional biopsy was performed and the histopathological evaluation confirmed the gingival cyst diagnosis. At the 1-yearollow-up, f the site had complete root coverage and normal tissue appearance and the patient remained asymptomatic. 1.

It is a Preactional response to constant minor trauma and might be related to hormonal changes. In the mouth, PG is manifested as a sessile or pedunculated, resilient, erythematous, exophytic and painful papule or nodule with a smooth or lobulated surface that bleeds easily. PG preferentially affects the gingiva, but may also occur on the lips, tongue, oral mucosa and palate. The most common treatment is surgical excision. This paper describes a mucocutaneous PG on the upper lip, analyzing the clinical characteristics and discussing the features that distinguish this lesion from other similar oral mucosa lesions. The diagnosis of oral lesions is complex and leads the dentist to consider distinct lesions with different diagnostic methods.
