ABSTRACT
The Polymorphous Low Grade Adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a common minor salivary gland carcinoma. It mostly affects the buccal mucosa and retromolar region, but the palate is an unusual site. As the carcinoma is low grade the recurrence is also uncommon. Our patient had a PLGA initially in the palate which was treated initially through surgical management but had a recurrence after four years. Hence we planned a partial maxillectomy along with level I nodes. Post-operatively follow-up is successful till date. So the management of a recurrent PLGA through careful surgery and post-operative follow up with prosthetic rehabilitation is discussed in this article... (AU)

Extraction of teeth is one of the most commonly performed minor oral surgical procedures. However, some clinical situations render routine extractions challenging. Here we report such a situation and a simple and innovative technique that involves the use of braided stainless steel wire to remove an unfavorable palatally inclined left upper lateral incisor with least damage to adjacent structures.

Internal fixation is the routinely performed surgical procedure in craniomaxillofacial surgery. At present, available kit for internal fixation includes large number of armamentarium. To overcome and reduce this, we have modified orthopedic wire twister for fixing and removing screws. This single device can replace self-holding screwdrivers with different sizes.
