Neurological emergency after dental implantat insertion - what now? / Neurologischer Notfall nach dentaler Implantation - was nun?

The following case report presents a 37-year old male patient who was referred for an emergency assessment due to suspected neurovascular damage of the inferior alveolar nerve following placement of two implants in the posterior left mandible. Immediate explantation for nerve decompression is essential combined with supportive analgesic and antiphlogistic medication. Furthermore, oral glucocorticoids were prescribed, starting with 20mg with a stepwise phasing out of the medication thereafter.

[Fibromatous Epulis: A Clinical Case Report].

A 35-year-old patient presented with a painless, broad-based exophytic lesion in the buccal interdental region between teeth 13 and 14. Despite oral hygiene efforts the lesion persisted for around one year. Radiology excluded bone involvement, and histopathology after excision confirmed a fibromatous epulis, which is characterized by collagen-rich connective tissue. There was no recurrence within one-year follow-up. Surgical removal proved to be efficient.
