Garre's Osteomyelitis is a distinctive type of chronic osteomyelitis associated with gross thickening of the periosteum of the bones and peripheral reactive bone formation resulting from mild irritation or infections. The condition is seen exclusively in children or young adults. Mandible is more often affected than the maxilla. Clinically it manifests as bony hard, non-tender swelling which is slowly progressive and associated with painful carious tooth. In this article, a case report of a eight year old female is presented along with complete investigations and treatment.

Ultrasonography is an imaging modality in which the high frequency sound waves are sent into the tissues and the acoustic impedence of the tissues are received, amplified and imaged. The echoes of the tissues vary according to their densities. Ultrasonography is applied in the field of medicine, in the evaluation of soft tissues, to record their movements and to assess their vascularity. In the oro-facial region, ultrasonography is employed in the evaluation of salivary glands, cervical lymph nodes, in soft tissues and post-operative swellings. Ten interesting cases of salivary gland diseases are presented here, each case showing a characteristic sonographic feature and providing a useful diagnostic clue in the identification of the disease.

Chondroectodermal Dysplasia is a disease complex consisting of bilateral manual polydactyly, chondrodysplasia of long bones resulting in acromelic dwarfism, hydroitic ectodermal dysplasia affecting principally the nails, teeth and hair and congenital heart malformations. It is necessary to identify this disease at its early stage in order to render prompt treatment. The oral manifestations are characteristic for this particular disease so that a dental surgeon can identify this condition and refer the case to a cardiologist and orthopedician for corrective surgeries. In this article, a case of a 2 1/2-year old child with chondro-ectodermal dysplasia is presented along with radiographic investigations and treatment plan.
