Dear reader, Prof. Dr Norbert Gutknecht Editor-in-Chief First of all, I would like to wish you a happy, healthy and blessed New Year 2015. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance is increasing and has been a topic of much debate recently. The re- sults associated with this are not yet known, but are certainly more severe than described in the official media. High concentrations of antibiotic residues are ingested not only via food (meat in particular) but also owing to careless patient prescriptions. As a responsible and future-oriented practitioner, one should seriously consider relevant antibiotic alternatives. With most laser systems used in today’s dentistry, it has become possible to reduce the administration of an- tibiotics or even omit them entirely. This is an option particularly in periodontology, peri-implantitis therapy, en- dodontics and several areas of oral surgery. As scientific studies have demonstrated, bacterial reduction with laser devices is so efficient that post-operative healing is both faster and longer lasting. Based on this knowledge, we should aim for more intensive integration of laser technology in the different fields of dentistry. Numerous congresses organised by our scientific laser society, as well as specialist continuing education events, dealing with the above-mentioned topic offer you opportunities to deepen your knowledge in this area. Announcements of these events will be published in our respective journals. With this in mind, I am looking forward to welcoming you to one of our congresses or continuing education events.

Introduction: Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is an unusual inflammatory condition characterized by dense, band-like polyclonal plasmacytic infiltration of the lamina propria. Clinically, appears as gingival enlargement with erythema and swelling of the attached and free gingiva, and is not associated with any loss of attachment. The aim of this report is to present a rare case of severe generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP) associated with a PCG lesion that was successfully treated and maintained non-surgically. Case presentation: A 32-year-old white male with a non-contributory medical history presented with gingival enlargement with diffuse erythema and edematous swelling, predominantly around teeth #5-8. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed generalized severe periodontal destruction. A complete blood count and biochemical tests were within normal limits. Histological and immunohistochemical examination were consistent with PCG. A diagnosis of severe GAP associated with a PCG lesion was assigned. Treatment included elimination of possible allergens and non- surgical periodontal treatment in combination with azithromycin. Clinical examination at re-evaluation revealed complete resolution of gingival enlargement, erythema and edema and localized residual probing depths 5 mm. One year post-treatment the clinical condition was stable.

Examination of the gingiva is part of every patient visit. In this context, a thorough clinical and radiographic assessment of the patient’s gingival tissues provides the dental practitioner with invaluable diagnostic information that is critical to determining the health status of the gingiva. The dental hygienist is often the first member of the dental team to be able to detect the early signs of periodontal disease. In 2017, the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) developed a new worldwide classification scheme for periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions. Included in the new classification scheme is the category called “periodontal health, gingival diseases/conditions.” Therefore, this chapter will first review the parameters that define periodontal health. Appreciating what constitutes as periodontal health serves as the basis for the dental provider to have a stronger understanding of the different categories of gingival diseases and conditions that are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Learning Objectives • Define periodontal health and be able to describe the clinical features that are consistent with signs of periodontal health. • List the two major subdivisions of gingival disease as established by the American Academy of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology.

  • Gingival Diseases in Children and Adolescents
    8932 Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, October-December 2020, Vol. 14, No. 4 Gingival Diseases in Children and Adolescents Sulagna Pradhan1, Sushant Mohanty2, Sonu Acharya3, Mrinali Shukla1, Sonali Bhuyan1 1Post Graduate Trainee, 2Professor & Head, 3Professor, Department of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Institute of Dental Sciences, Siksha O Anusandhan (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar 751003, Odisha, India Abstract Gingival diseases are prevalent in both children and adolescents. These diseases may or may not be associated with plaques, maybe familial in some cases, or may coexist with systemic illness. However, gingiva and periodontium receive scant attention as the primary dentition does not last for a considerable duration. As gingival diseases result in the marked breakdown of periodontal tissue, and premature tooth loss affecting the nutrition and global development of a child/adolescent, precise identification and management of gingival diseases is of paramount importance.

ABSTRACT: Acute bacterial Sialadenitis, a painful and inflammatory infection preferentially affects parotid and submandibular gland. Though commonly caused by bacteria, the etiology ranges from simple infection to autoimmune disorders. Though it affects both parotid and submandibular gland, submandibular sialadenitis is an uncommon condition with an infrequent discussion in literature, unlike sialadenitis of the parotid gland. The management belies mainly on early administration of antimicrobial therapy and surgical drainage if deemed necessary. This case report describes a case of acute suppurative submandibular sialadenitis without a common predisposing factor, and its management.

  • Idiopathic Gingival Fibromatosis Associated with Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis: a Case Report
    Clinical P RACTIC E Idiopathic Gingival Fibromatosis Associated with Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis: A Case Report Contact Author Rashi Chaturvedi, MDS, DNB Dr. Chaturvedi Email: rashichaturvedi@ yahoo.co.in ABSTRACT Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis, a benign, slow-growing proliferation of the gingival tissues, is genetically heterogeneous. This condition is usually part of a syndrome or, rarely, an isolated disorder. Aggressive periodontitis, another genetically transmitted disorder of the periodontium, typically results in severe, rapid destruction of the tooth- supporting apparatus. The increased susceptibility of the host population with aggressive periodontitis may be caused by the combined effects of multiple genes and their inter- action with various environmental factors. Functional abnormalities of neutrophils have also been implicated in the etiopathogenesis of aggressive periodontitis. We present a rare case of a nonsyndromic idiopathic gingival fibromatosis associated with general- ized aggressive periodontitis. We established the patient’s diagnosis through clinical and radiologic assessment, histopathologic findings and immunologic analysis of neutrophil function with a nitro-blue-tetrazolium reduction test. We describe an interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of the patient.

The difficulty in treatment of granulomatous cheilitis is reflected in various treatments that have been tried and the lack of consensus regarding the preferred treatment. Combined therapy of intralesional corticosteroid and clofazimine or dapsone is one of the most commonly used treatments for the condition. Other treatment options are prednisone,antibiotics such as metronidozole,tetracycline hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine, antihistamines, macrolides, thalidomide and infliximab. However, therapeutic responses of patients with granulomatous cheilitis are often unpredictable and spontaneous recurrences are not uncommon .Therefore, an oral physician must carefully proceed in order to develop an accurate treatment planning. Management considerations for these patients depend upon the results of the investigations, patient’s esthetic considerations and severity of the condition. A case of a nine year old child with the granulomatous cheilitis of upper lip who showed an excellent response to intalesional steroids, metronidazole and doxycycline, a combined therapeutic regimen is reported here.
