Background: Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia, also known as Masson’s tumor, is a reactive benign lesion of vascular origin. Only few cases have been reported in the literature and the clinical features may mimic other benign and malignant lesions, making the clinical diagnosis challenging. Main observations: We report an uncommon case with detailed clinical findings affecting the oral cavity. Conclusions: We present an exceptional case of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia. The oral mucosa is commonly affected by vascular lesions so it is worthy to consider intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia in the differential diagnosis.

Background: Oral candidal infections are predominantly caused by Candida albicans. There are multiple clinical presentations of oral candidiasis. Main observations: We describe two cases of atypical clinical manifestations of oral candidiasis. Patients presented with white reticular plaques, painful ulcers, erosions, and significant oral mucosa atrophy mimicking oral lichen planus. Histopathological findings are detailed. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is a novel clinical presentation of oral candidiasis, and we propose to consider this variant, particularly in patients with predisposition to develop chronic oral candidiasis.

Intellectual Disabilities (ID), involves impairment of cognition and adaptive/functional skills. There are three criteria that must be present for diagnosis of ID: Intellectual functioning deficit, significant limitations in adaptive functioning and evidence that the limitations became apparent during the developmental period. ID patients comprise 2-3% of the general population. Some studies show that people with ID have worse oral hygiene, increased tooth decay and also a worse periodontal condition than the general population. The techniques that allow the management and clinical dental treatment of patients with ID are: behavioral management, which is more used in patients with mild or Moderate ID in which a minimum degree of communication can be established. The physical restriction is used in any degree of ID that requires it to avoid injuries during dental treatment. Sedation is used in patients with Severe ID unable to cooperate and finally general anesthesia, which should be used when all the previous techniques have failed, either in the case of a long and complex treatment or in patients with Profound ID. As a result presents the alternatives to the professional can address individually patient, taking into account the degree of ID, thus able to improve their quality of life.
