Occasionally, clinicians are faced with a situation in which a solitary tooth between two bridges requires extraction. When this type of situation occurs, we must ponder the dilemma of how to replace the missing tooth. Options include placing an implant where the tooth was extracted or remaking one large multiunit bridge. Implants are not always possible or practical, and remaking a multiunit bridge that involves the abutments of the two existing bridges can be challenging and becomes much more expensive to the patients. The overcasting technique is a treatment modality that offers a solution in these particular situations.
In the current report, we emphasize that mental neuropathy is often a sign of progressive or recurrent malignant disease, despite normal results of a mandibular radiograph in a diagnostic evaluation.
This review discusses the etiology and treatment of gingival hyperplasia. It cites evidence that medications such as phenytoin, an anticonvulsant; cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant; and numerous calcium channel blocking agents have been shown clinically and histologically to produce analogous gingival enlargements. A multiphasic approach to treating disfiguring gingival hyperplasia through mechanical and chemical plaque control, in conjunction with the surgical removal of the hyperplastic tissue, is discussed.
