Therapeutic effects of diode laser on vascular epulis in esthetic area
Tie-Lou Chen, Xiao-Man Wang, Xin-Hai Zhang, Jun Chen, Jin LiuJournal of Indian Society of Periodontology 2021 25(1):75-77 Vascular epulis is a rare clinical disease. In our study, a case of vascular epulis in the cosmetic area was treated by diode laser, without recurrence and obvious inflammation in the surgical site 5 years after surgery. This case report indicates that the excision of vascular epulis in the cosmetic area of the anterior teeth by diode laser could be an alternatively safe and complementary approach in lieu of conventional surgery.

Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis in association with aggressive periodontitis and candidal infection: A unique case report with 7-year follow-up
Anuradha Bhatsange, Anuja Moharir, Vibhuti Mistry, Sharanbasappa JapattiJournal of Indian Society of Periodontology 2021 25(1):65-69 Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis, also called idiopathic gingival overgrowth (IGO), is a rare benign condition that occurs either in isolation or as a part of a syndrome. The overgrowth, if excess, impedes oral functions such as mastication and speech and causes cosmetic disfigurement. Diagnosis and treatment becomes challenging if the overgrowth is massive and accompanies other associated pathologies. This case reports concurrent occurrence of three pathologies, i.e., IGO, aggressive period...

Gingival squamous cell carcinoma masquerading as necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis
This report describes a case of a 34-year-old male presenting clinically with NUP around mandibular posterior teeth. Clinical features were misleading, but the histological findings established the diagnosis of well-differentiated SCC. Immunohistochemistry also showed features of epithelial–mesenchymal transition with decreased expression of E-cadherin and increased vimentin expression showing local invasion and metastasis. The patient was referred to the oncology department for evaluation of possible metastasis and further management of carcinoma. (Source: Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology)
