ABSTRACT
This paper describes that invasive aspergillosis was found in oral cavity, especially in lower molar periodontium in a immunocompromised 34-year-old woman who had been admitted in hemato-oncology with the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. Antifungal therapy and surgical excision of involved teeth, bone and gingiva were the treatment of choice. After treatment infected area was healed very well. We would like to report our case because we could not find any paper reporting on invasive aspergillosis occurring in lower molar periodontium.

Foreign bodies in the maxillofacial area are not commonly seen. If occurred, the immediate removal of foreign bodies is recommended to avoid further complications. The most important thing is a exact localization of foreign bodies using X-rays such as plain radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound before treatment. During removal of foreign bodies, tissue should be dissected carefully and complete exploration of the whole wound required.

The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal fit of provisional restorations by differentiating the removal time and setting temperature during resin polymerization. After mixing autopolymerizing methyl metharcrylate resin, the material was placed in a preformed resin shell crown. The crown was seated on a die with 1mm shoulder margin. Crowns were removed after 3,4,5,6 minutes and polymerization was continued under the following conditions : 25degrees C air,30degrees C, 40degrees C, 50degrees C,60degrees C,70degrees C water. After polymerization, the crown was sectioned. The marginal & occlusal discrepancies were measured. The mean marginal discrelpancies at 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes and 6 minutes of removing time were 96.6micrometer,84.6micrometer, 86.7micrometer and 105.6micrometer.The mean occlusal discrepancies at 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes and 6 minutes of removing time were 106.7micrometer, 89.3micrometer, 98.6micrometer and 127.7micrometer.There was significant difference between 4 minutes group and 6 minutes group in occlusal discrepancies. The mean marginal & occlusal discrepancies for crowns polymerized in 25degrees C air were 98.2micrometer and 124.1micrometer. The crowns polymerized in 50degrees C water demonstrated the smallest marginal & occlusal discrepancies. The mean value of marginal & occlusal discrepancies in 50degrees C water were 73.1micrometer and 77.5micrometer. These values were smaller than that of 25degrees C air.There were significant differences in the occlusal discrepancies between 25degrees C air and water conditions of 50degrees C water (alpha=0.05) but, no significant differences in marginal discrepancies. There was no significant difference in the interaction between time and temperature. 4 minutes waiting time & 50degrees C water polymerizing condition produces the best fit at the margin of the provisional crown.

Behcet's disease is a chronic, multisystemic disorder which is more frequently seen in the Mediterranean basin, Middle East, and Far East. The mean age at the first onset is third decades. In large series of patients, men predominate over women. Infectious agents, immune mechanisms, and genetic factors are implicated in the etiopathogenesis of the disease. Eyes, skin, joints, the oral cavity, blood vessels, and central nervous system are usually involved, although less frequently the heart, lung, kidney may be affected. The prognosis of the disease has been improved because of early diagnosis and suitable treatment. Local remedies and systemic administration of colchicine, corticosteoids, immunosuppressives, and other agents have been applied. Pathergy, or skin hypersensitivity to needle puncture has been reported as a diagnostic test for Behcet's disease. We have managed a Behcet's disease patient with pathergy test & corticosteroids therapy. We have obtained good result and report this case with review of literatures.
