The objective of this case report was to restore the young patient with missing teeth and extruded tooth using an immediate implant and synthetic bone graft material for the esthetic and comfort purpose. A 21-year young man reported extrusion of a tooth as well as missing teeth. ⋯ This paper describes a step-by-step approach to different treatment phases, starting with surgical guide fabrication, immediate implant surgical procedures, bone grafting procedure, and later prosthesis fabrication. Follow-up resulted in a satisfactory outcome.

Alstrom syndrome (AS) is one type of monogenic diabetic syndromes caused by mutation in the ALMS1. Due to rare prevalence and overlaps of clinical symptoms, monogenic diabetes is often misdiagnosed. ⋯ With whole-exome sequencing (WES), this patient was classified into monogenic diabetes and diagnosed as AS with one novel gene mutation identified. This study highlights the clinical application of WES in the diagnosis of monogenic diabetes.

Case Reports
A successful reconstruction of the upper antihelix defect via postauricular pull-through pedicle flap.
The auricle is a complex anatomic structure with a three-dimensional configuration proper reinstating that poses a substantial reconstructive challenge. The postauricular pull-through flap is perfectly suitable method for the reconstruction of helical and antihelical auricle defects; however, due to its difficult harvest technique, it is not commonly used in a practice. Here we describe a case of a patient with an antihelix defect following basal cell carcinoma (BCC). In our case, the reconstruction was performed via postauricular pull-through pedicle flap, and a satisfactory result was achieved.
