An Unusual Case of an Odontogenic Keratocyst Associated with an Impacted Incisor.

We present a case of an odontogenic keratocyst discovered as an incidental finding in the anterior mandible of a young female patient. This is an unusual presentation, and very few cases affecting the anterior mandible are reported in the literature.

Self-Inflicted Trauma Secondary to Local Anaesthesia in Children.

Long acting local anaesthetics and inferior alveolar nerve block in children can cause loss of sensation and proprioception in a large area supplied by that particular nerve. Similar to the maxilla in mandible also, adequate level of anaesthesia can be achieved in the desired site of treatment by using a short acting local anaesthetic. Early return of normal sensory feedback after using short acting anaesthetics can be helpful in preventing self-harm.
