  • ABC of Oral Health Periodontal Disease John Coventry, Gareth Griffiths, Crispian Scully, Maurizio Tonetti
    Clinical review ABC of oral health Periodontal disease John Coventry, Gareth Griffiths, Crispian Scully, Maurizio Tonetti Most periodontal disease arises from, or is aggravated by, accumulation of plaque, and periodontitis is associated particularly with anaerobes such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, Bacteroides forsythus, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Calculus (tartar) may form from calcification of plaque above or below the gum line, and the plaque that collects on calculus exacerbates the inflammation. The inflammatory reaction is associated with progressive loss of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone and, eventually, with mobility and loss of teeth. Periodontal diseases are ecogenetic in the sense that, in subjects rendered susceptible by genetic or environmental factors (such as polymorphisms in the gene for interleukin 1, cigarette smoking, immune depression, and diabetes), the infection leads to more rapidly progressive disease. Osteoporosis also seems to have some effect on periodontal bone loss. The possible effects of periodontal disease on systemic Chronic marginal gingivitis showing erythematous oedematous appearance health, via pro-inflammatory cytokines, have been the focus of much attention. Studies to test the strength of associations with atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and low birth weight, and any effects on diabetic control, are ongoing. Gingivitis Chronic gingivitis to some degree affects over 90% of the population. If treated, the prognosis is good, but otherwise it may progress to periodontitis and tooth mobility and loss. Marginal gingivitis is painless but may manifest with bleeding from the gingival crevice, particularly when brushing the teeth. The gingival margins are slightly red and swollen, eventually with mild gingival hyperplasia. Management—Unless plaque is assiduously removed and Gingivitis with hyperplasia kept under control by tooth brushing and flossing and, where necessary, by removal of calculus by scaling and polishing by dental staff, the condition will recur.

    Radiation Burn / Dermatitis, Chemical Burn & Necrobiosis Lipodica Case Studies By: Jeanne Alvarez, FNP, CWS, Independent Medical Associates, Bangor, ME Radiation Burn / Dermatitis Case Study 1: 63 year old female S/P lumpectomy with chemotherapy and radiation to the breast. She developed a burn to the area with noted dermatitis at the completion of radiation treatments. Area was very painful and blistered. Hydrofera Blue radiation dressing was applied and held in place with netting. There was significant pain reduction reported within hours of application. Wounds healed in 17 days of starting therapy. Started Healed in 17 Days Radiation Burn / Dermatitis Case Study 2: 85 year old male S/P excision of Squamous cell carcinoma of the right temple x 2, the second excision prompted the surgeon to treat area with radiation. The radiation caused the patient’s skin to burn and develop a dermatitis surrounding the wound. Started Hydrofera Blue on patient and he healed in 83 days.

Praveen B.N, Amrutesh S, Vaseemuddin S, Shubhasini A.R., Pal S Anterior mandibular swelling – a case report. Tanz Dent J 2010, 16 (2):58-62 Abstract: Predilection of lesions to occur at certain specific sites is of great aid in arriving at a logical diagnosis. However tendency of lesions to appear at particular site does not follow a rule book. Enigmatic lesions like ameloblastomas have varied presentation. Here is an unusual case report of a patient who presented to us with an anterior mandibular swelling. Although clinical and radiographic features were suggestive of central giant cell granuloma, histopathological diagnosis was of ameloblastic carcinoma. Ameloblastomas are considered to be benign lesions; however, some can be reclassified as malignant when metastases occur or present with a very aggressive behavior. A detailed deliberation of differential diagnosis of anterior mandibular swellings is also done.

Parashis, Emmanouil Vardas, † Konstantinos Tosios, ‡ * Private practice limited to Periodontics, Athens, Greece; and, Department of Periodontology, School of Dental Medicine, Tufts University, Boston, MA, United States of America. †Clinic of Hospital Dentistry, Dental Oncology Unit, University of Athens, Greece. ‡ Private practice limited to Oral Pathology, Athens, Greece. 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.

DG is a clinical feature of a variety of diseases or disorders. Most cases of DG are associated with mucocutaneous diseases, the most common ones being lichen planus, mucous membrane pemphigoid, and pemphigus vulgaris. Proper diagnosis of the underlying cause is important because the prognosis varies, depending on the disease. This chapter presents the underlying etiology that is most commonly associated with DG. The current literature on the diagnostic and management modalities of patients with DG is reviewed. Keywords: gingival diseases/pemphigus/pemphigoid, benign mucous membrane/lichen planus, oral/hypersensitivity/autoimmune diseases 1. Introduction Manifestations of desquamative gingivitis (DG) include erythematous gingiva, epithelial des‐ quamation, and erosion of the gingival epithelium, as well as blister formation on the gingiva [1, 2] (Figure 1). The DG lesions may be localized or generalized and may extend into the alveolar mucosa. Similar lesions are often found on the buccal mucosa, tongue, and palate in the oral cavity. The signs of DG are clearly different from those of dental plaque‐induced gingivitis.

Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare noninvasive odontogenic tumor that occurs mostly in the second decade of life. Based on its tooth association, AOT can be classifed into three categories of follicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral types; the follicular classifcation is considered as the most common type of AOT. Tis study reported a large extrafollicular case of AOT in a 40-year-old female. She was asymptomatic and tumor was detected accidentally by her dental practitioner. Since the panoramic radiograph showed a well-defned unilocular radiolucent lesion, we observed radiopaque spots within the lesion by using cone beam computed tomography. Te extrafollicular type can mimic a periapical radiolucent lesion. 1. Introduction attached to the gingival structures [9].
