ABSTRACT
Dermoid cysts usually occur later in the second decade of life; we present the approach of an unusual case of an infant who presented a cyst within the oral cavity, which is important because it can be confused with other pathologies.
ABSTRACT
Las heridas por mordida en la región maxilofacial son relativamentecomunes y se consideran de tratamiento complejo; son contaminadas con una flora oral bacteriana única y, en ocasiones, tienen resultados estéticos devastadores. Las heridas pueden ser ocasionadas por animales domésticos, salvajes y humanos. El clínico debe tener una comprensión multidisciplinaria del manejo de las mismas, incluyendo el abordaje médico, quirúrgico, viral, bacteriológico y la secuencia propia del tratamiento. Se presenta una revisión de la literatura, así como casos clínicos para el tratamiento integral de este tipo de trauma.
Bite wounds in the maxillofacial region are relatively common and are regarded as diffi cult to treat given the associated contamination with what is a unique polymicrobial inoculum. The aesthetic consequences can occasionally prove devastating. The wounds can be caused by both domestic and wild animals, as well as by humans. Clinicians need to have a multidisciplinary understanding of how to manage such wounds, including surgical, medical, virological, and bacteriological aspects, and the proper sequence of treatment. We present a review of the literature and a number of clinical cases for the comprehensive management of this type of trauma.

La fístula oronasal es la complicación más común posterior a una palatoplastía y frecuentemente requiere de una reparación secundaria. Se ha desarrollado una gran cantidad de técnicas quirúrgicas para su manejo, siendo una de las más populares el colgajo lingual. A pesar de la excelente vascularidad de la lengua, para asegurar la viabilidad del colgajo, éste debe ser manejado con extremo cuidado durante el procedimiento. Con este propósito sugerimos el uso de una platina acrílica en forma de herradura que aporta estabilidad e inmoviliza la lengua durante la cirugía, lo que facilita el procedimiento y ayuda a evitar errores durante el diseño y el levantamiento del colgajo(AU)
The oronasal fistula is the most common complication after a palatoplasty and it frequently needs a secondary repair. A great number of surgical techniques have been developed for the management of this condition. The lingual flap is one of the most popular treatments. In spite of the excellent vascularity of the tongue, it must be handled carefully during the procedure to assure the viability of the flap. For this reason we suggest the use of an acrylic slide in the shape of horse-shoe that improves the stability and immobilises the tongue during the surgery. This makes the procedure easier and helps to avoid mistakes during the design and the raising of the flap(AU)

Air pollution by suspended particles has become a worldwide health problem. The main sources of these particles are fossils and additives combustion. Mn enters the body through inhalation, but part of the particles accesses contact with tongue's posterior surface where lingual tonsils and lingual papillae are placed. We decided to explore in a mouse model, the impact that the deposit of inhaled Mn has on the tongue's surface. Atrophy of the lingual tonsil, filiform papillae, as well as the swelling of taste buds in fungiform papillae, were the predominant changes. Ferropenic anemia is associated with the changes described and could be related to the interference of Mn in iron metabolism and riboflavin absorption. More research should be done to explore the participation of suspended particles trapped in the oral cavity in toxicology of Mn or other inhaled pollutants.
