Sialolithiasis co-existing along with Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis is an even rarer occurrence. We present a case of Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis and Sialolithiasis in a 6 years old male child and how we managed it.

Even MRI of the parotid gland failed to reveal any Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis is characterized by cause. Then the patient was referred to us for definitive recurring episodes of swelling usually accompanied by management. Taking the history into consideration, a pain in the parotid gland. Associated symptoms usually probable diagnosis of Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis due to include fever and malaise. It is most commonly seen in sialectasis was considered.

Dentinal Hypersensitivity: a Review
Dentinal Hypersensitivity: A Review Abstract Dentinal hypersensitivity is generally reported by the patient after experiencing a sharp pain caused by one of several different stimuli. The pain response varies substantially from one person to another. The condition generally involves the facial surfaces of teeth near the cervical aspect and is very common in premolars and canines. The most widely accepted theory of how the pain occurs is Brannstrom’s hydrodynamic theory, fluid movement within the dentinal tubules. The dental professional, using a variety of diagnostic techniques, will discern the condition from other conditions that may cause sensitive teeth. Treatment of the condition can be invasive or non-invasive in nature. The most inexpensive and efficacious first line of treatment for most patients is a dentifrice containing a desensitizing active ingredient such as potassium nitrate and/or stannous fluoride. This review will address the prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity. In addition the home care recommendations will focus on desensitizing dentifrices.

ADVERSE FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT on the COURSE of CHRONIC PARENCHIMATIC PAROTITIS in CHILDREN DOI: 10.36740/Wlek202006118
© Aluna Publishing Wiadomości Lekarskie, VOLUME LXXIII, ISSUE 6, JUNE 2020 ORIGINAL ARTICLE ADVERSE FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT ON THE COURSE OF CHRONIC PARENCHIMATIC PAROTITIS IN CHILDREN DOI: 10.36740/WLek202006118 Pavlo I. Tkachenko, Serhii O. Bilokon, Yuliia V. Popelo, Nataliia M. Lokhmatova, Olha B. Dolenko, Nataliia M. Korotych UKRAINIAN MEDICAL STOMATOLOGICAL ACADEMY, POLTAVA, UKRAINE ABSTRACT The aim: The study of the presence of disorders in the ante- and postnatal periods of development of children from 2 months to 15 years with chronic parenchimatic parotitis, which may affect its course. Materials and methods: It has been examined and treated 88 children, aged from 2 months to 15 years with chronic parenchimatic parotitis, and their mothers were interviewed, who indicated the pathological course of pregnancy, childbirth and indicated the type of breastfeeding babbies. The scope of the survey included general, additional methods, consultations by related specialists and statistical processing of results. Results: 88 children with the exacerbation of chronic parenchimatic parotitis were examined (42 – (47%) with active course and 46 – (53%) with inactive). The exacerbation occurred on the background of acute infectious processes or coincided with the exacerbation of one of the chronic diseases. The first manifestations occurred in spring (55%) and autumn (36%) periods, 44% of children were hospitalized with other diagnoses. The presence of pathological conditions during pregnancy and birth defects in their mothers were recorded more often 3,5 and 3,3 times, respectively, compared with control. 70% of children received mixed and artificial feeding and were more likely to become ill. Conclusions: The severity of clinical manifestations of inflammation and disorders of the general condition depended on the activity of the course of chronic parenchimatic parotitis and were more pronounced when active.

Periodontal Health, Gingival Diseases and Conditions 99 Section 1 Periodontal Health
CHAPTER Periodontal Health, Gingival Diseases 6 and Conditions Section 1 Periodontal Health 99 Section 2 Dental Plaque-Induced Gingival Conditions 101 Classification of Plaque-Induced Gingivitis and Modifying Factors Plaque-Induced Gingivitis Modifying Factors of Plaque-Induced Gingivitis Drug-Influenced Gingival Enlargements Section 3 Non–Plaque-Induced Gingival Diseases 111 Description of Selected Disease Disorders Description of Selected Inflammatory and Immune Conditions and Lesions Section 4 Focus on Patients 117 Clinical Patient Care Ethical Dilemma Clinical Application. 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.

Oral Manifestations of a Possible New Periodic Fever Syndrome Soraya Beiraghi, DDS, MSD, MS, MSD1 • Sandra L
PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY V 29 / NO 4 JUL / AUG 07 Case Report Oral Manifestations of a Possible New Periodic Fever Syndrome Soraya Beiraghi, DDS, MSD, MS, MSD1 • Sandra L. Myers, DMD2 • Warren E. Regelmann, MD3 • Scott Baker, MD, MS4 Abstract: Periodic fever syndrome is composed of a group of disorders that present with recurrent predictable episodes of fever, which may be accompanied by: (1) lymphadenopathy; (2) malaise; (3) gastrointestinal disturbances; (4) arthralgia; (5) stomatitis; and (6) skin lesions. These signs and symptoms occur in distinct intervals every 4 to 6 weeks and resolve without any residual effect, and the patient remains healthy between attacks. The evaluation must exclude: (1) infections; (2) neoplasms; and (3) autoimmune conditions. The purpose of this paper is to report the case of a 4½- year-old white female who presented with a history of periodic fevers accompanied by: (1) joint pain; (2) skin lesions; (3) rhinitis; (4) vomiting; (5) diarrhea; and (6) an unusual asymptomatic, marked, fi ery red glossitis with features evolving to resemble geographic tongue and then resolving completely between episodes. This may represent the fi rst known reported case in the literature of a periodic fever syndrome presenting with such unusual recurring oral fi ndings.
