Bullous Pemphigoid A Rare Autoimmune Disease: A Case Report
- Authors: Sharma Manek; SP Saravanan, Rai Rahul
  Pages: 1 - 3
  Abstract: Bullous pemphigoid [BP] is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the formation of autoantibodies causing blister formation potentially triggered by trauma, antimicrobials and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. A 31yearold female patient reported with complaint of fluid filled blisters which appear intermittently for past 2 years, leaving painful ulcerations. Incisional biopsy was performed, along with adjunctive use of Low Level Laser Therapy, report of which showed bullous pemphigoid and better healing due to LLLT respectively. Thus, based on our clinical experience and result the use of laser as an adjunctive therapy in symptomatic management of desquamative lesions is indeed a food for thought.

Different Treatment Modalities of Maxillary Protraction in Cleft Lip and
Palate Patients: A Literature Review
- Authors: Ghada Alaglan
  Pages: 4 - 7
  Abstract: Cleft lip and palate is the most common cranio-facial defect with patients displaying unfavorable growth pattern of the cranio-facial complex. When such a deficiency in growing subjects, is left untreated, can lead to severe functional, aesthetic, breathing and psychological problems. To treat patients with cleft lip and palate, early orthopedic correction is considered to be advantageous. This can be applied through a tooth-anchored protraction facemask, bone-anchored protraction facemask or even the application of direct force via intra-oral inter-maxillary elastics anchored in mini-plates between the maxilla and the mandible.
