ABSTRACT
Intranasal foreign bodies arising from dental clinical practice, especially in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) occur rarely and are very scarce in the literature. This article reports an unusual case of a dental impression material presenting as a foreign body in the nasal cavity of an adult with repaired CLP who presented for dental prosthetic rehabilitation. To our knowledge, this is only the second report presenting nasal foreign body in a cleft patient arising due to a dental impression procedure.

Transmigration of permanent mandibular canines is a very rare phenomenon and has no definite etiology. Most of them are asymptomatic, impacted, and commonly involve the left canines. The eruption of transmigrated canines is even rarer. The purpose of this paper was to review the literature on erupted transmigrated mandibular canines and report a rare case of it in a 13-year-old girl with a transmigrated permanent right canine corresponding to the least frequent Mupparapu type 5 pattern.

Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) is a rare inherited disorder that belongs to a group of clinically progressive disorders and is caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme, α(1)-iduronidase. MPS I has been recently classified into a severe (Hurler syndrome) and an attenuated type (Hurler-Scheie and Scheie syndromes). The purpose of this article was to describe a rare case of MPS type I, attenuated type (Hurler-Scheie) affecting a 15-year-old Indian child.
ABSTRACT
Keratosis palmoplantaris associated with periodontopathy or Papillon Lefevre syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder with autosomal recessive mode of inheritance and is characterized by hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles and early onset of a severe destructive periodontitis. The clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, therapeutic and periodontal management of an 8-year old male child diagnosed with this syndrome is discussed.

Oral lichen planus is a cell-mediated immune condition and is infrequently encountered in children, with a prevalence of about 0.03 percent in childhood. Reports of oral lichen planus affecting children are scarce in the literature. The purpose of this article is to present a rare case of oral lichen planus affecting a seven-year-old child without concomitant cutaneous lesions. Intraoral lesions and associated mild discomfort treated with topical corticosteroid therapy and a plaque control regime resulted in a favorable result.

La queratosis palmoplantar asociada con la periodontopatía - también conocida como síndrome de Papillon Léfèvre - es un trastorno genético muy poco común, con un modo de herencia autosómico recesivo. Se caracteriza por la hiperqueratosis de las palmas de las manos y las plantas de los pies y el inicio temprano de una periodontitis destructiva severa. Se analiza la presentación clínica, el diagnóstico diferencial, así como el tratamiento terapéutico y periodontal de un niño de 8 años de edad con este síndrome.
