Resorption of the edentulous mandible can lead to the genial tubercles taking up a relatively superficial position. A case is presented where resorption was accompanied by calcification of the insertion of genioglossus resulting in the development of a painful mass in the floor of the mouth, whose nature could only be determined radiographically.

Implantation of foreign bodies into the oral soft tissues is an accident that occurs with some frequency, particularly in young children, for whom the mouth is an important sensory organ. The offending object is usually sharp; pencils are the most commonly reported object. A case is presented of a child who fell, implanting a toothbrush into her buccal soft tissues. The problems incurred in removing such an object are presented. This case demonstrates the need for parental vigilance while children are performing oral hygiene procedures.
