  • Tongue -Tie (Ankyloglossia) and Lip -Tie (Lip Adhesion)
    Tongue -Tie (Ankyloglossia) and Lip -Tie (Lip Adhesion) What is Tongue-Tie? Most of us think of tongue -tie as a situation we find ourselves in when we are too excited to speak. Actually, tongue- tie is the non medical term for a relatively common physical condition that limits the use of the tongue, ankyloglossia. Lip -tie is a condition where the upper lip cannot be curled or moved normally. Before we are born, a strong cord of tissue that guides development of mouth structures is positioned in the center of the mouth. It is called a frenulum. As we develop, this frenulum recedes and thins. The lingual (tongue) or labial (lip) frenulum is visible and easily felt if you look in the mirror under your tongue and lip. In some children, the frenulum is especially tight or fails to recede and may cause tongue/lip mobility problems. The tongue and lip are a very complex group of muscles and are important for all oral function. For this reason having tongue tie can lead to nursing, eating, dental, or speech problems, which may be serious in some individuals. When Is Tongue and Lip- Tie a Problem That Needs Treatment? Infants A new baby with a too tight tongue and/or lip frenulum can have trouble sucking and may have poor weight gain. If they cannot make a good seal on the nipple, they may swallow air causing gas and stomach problems. Such feeding problems should be discussed with Dr. Sierra. Nursing mothers who experience significant pain while nursing or whose baby has trouble latching on should have their child evaluated for tongue and lip tie.

  • Anthropometrical Orofacial Measurement in Children from Three to Five Years Old
    899 MEDIDAS ANTROPOMÉTRICAS OROFACIAIS EM CRIANÇAS DE TRÊS A CINCO ANOS DE IDADE Anthropometrical orofacial measurement in children from three to five years old Raquel Bossle(1), Mônica Carminatti(1), Bárbara de Lavra-Pinto(1), Renata Franzon (2), Fernando de Borba Araújo (3), Erissandra Gomes(3) RESUMO Objetivo: obter as medidas antropométricas orofaciais em crianças pré-escolares de três a cinco anos e realizar a correlação com idade cronológica, gênero, raça e hábitos orais. Métodos: estudo transversal com 93 crianças selecionadas por meio de amostra de conveniência consecutiva. Os responsáveis responderam a um questionário sobre os hábitos orais e as crianças foram submetidas a uma avaliação odontológica e antropométrica da face. O nível de significância utilizado foi p<0,05. Resultados: as médias das medidas antropométricas orofaciais foram descritas. Houve diferença estatística nas medidas de altura da face (p<0,001), terço médio da face (p<0,001), canto externo do olho até a comissura labial esquerda/direita (p<0,001) e lábio inferior (p=0,015) nas faixas etárias. O gênero masculino apresentou medidas superiores na altura de face (p=0,003), terço inferior da face (p<0,001), lábio superior (p=0,001) e lábio inferior (p<0,001). Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante na altura do lábio superior em sujeitos não brancos (p=0,03). A presença de hábitos orais não influenciou os resultados. O aleitamento materno exclusivo por seis meses influenciou o aumento da medida de terço médio (p=0,022) e da altura da face (p=0,037). Conclusão: as médias descritas neste estudo foram superiores aos padrões encontrados em outros estudos.

  • Head and Neck
    DEFINITION OF ANATOMIC SITES WITHIN THE HEAD AND NECK adapted from the Summary Staging Guide 1977 published by the SEER Program, and the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual Fifth Edition published by the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging. Note: Not all sites in the lip, oral cavity, pharynx and salivary glands are listed below. All sites to which a Summary Stage scheme applies are listed at the begining of the scheme. ORAL CAVITY AND ORAL PHARYNX (in ICD-O-3 sequence) The oral cavity extends from the skin-vermilion junction of the lips to the junction of the hard and soft palate above and to the line of circumvallate papillae below. The oral pharynx (oropharynx) is that portion of the continuity of the pharynx extending from the plane of the inferior surface of the soft palate to the plane of the superior surface of the hyoid bone (or floor of the vallecula) and includes the base of tongue, inferior surface of the soft palate and the uvula, the anterior and posterior tonsillar pillars, the glossotonsillar sulci, the pharyngeal tonsils, and the lateral and posterior walls. The oral cavity and oral pharynx are divided into the following specific areas: LIPS (C00._; vermilion surface, mucosal lip, labial mucosa) upper and lower, form the upper and lower anterior wall of the oral cavity. They consist of an exposed surface of modified epider- mis beginning at the junction of the vermilion border with the skin and including only the vermilion surface or that portion of the lip that comes into contact with the opposing lip.

  • Six Steps to the “Perfect” Lip Deborah S
    September 2012 1081 Volume 11 • Issue 9 Copyright © 2012 ORIGINAL ARTICLES Journal of Drugs in Dermatology SPECIAL TOPIC Six Steps to the “Perfect” Lip Deborah S. Sarnoff MD FAAD FACPa and Robert H. Gotkin MD FACSb,c aRonald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY bLenox Hill Hospital—Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Institute, New York, NY cNorth Shore—LIJ Health Systems, Manhasset, NY ABSTRACT Full lips have always been associated with youth and beauty. Because of this, lip enhancement is one of the most frequently re- quested procedures in a cosmetic practice. For novice injectors, we recommend hyaluronic acid (HA) as the filler of choice. There is no skin test required; it is an easily obtainable, “off-the-shelf” product that is natural feeling when skillfully implanted in the soft tissues. Hyaluronic acid is easily reversible with hyaluronidase and, therefore, has an excellent safety profile. While Restylane® is the only FDA-approved HA filler with a specific indication for lip augmentation, one can use the following HA products off-label: Juvéderm® Ultra, Juvéderm Ultra Plus, Juvéderm Ultra XC, Juvéderm Ultra PLUS XC, Restylane-L®, Perlane®, Perlane-L®, and Belotero®. We present our six steps to achieve aesthetically pleasing augmented lips. While there is no single prescription for a “perfect” lip, nor a “one size fits all” approach for lip augmentation, these 6 steps can be used as a basic template for achieving a natural look. For more comprehensive, global perioral rejuvenation, our 6-step technique can be combined with the injection of neuromodulating agents and fractional laser skin resurfacing during the same treatment session.

  • Tobacco-Related Cancers
    Tobacco-Related Cancers in Mississippi, 2003-2017 Smoking, exposure to second-hand smoke, and use of other tobacco products are a modifiable risk factor associated with the development of certain cancers. According to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System for 2018, 20.5% of Mississippi adults report being current smokers, 22.2% report being former smokers, and 7.4% of Mississippi adults report using smokeless tobacco. Mississippi’s rate of current smoking among adults is tied for the sixth highest in the nation with Louisiana and Ohio.1 Tobacco use is associated with cancers of the lip, oral cavity, pharynx, stomach, colon and rectum, pancreas, trachea, lung and bronchus, cervix, kidney and renal pelvis, urinary bladder, esophagus, liver, and larynx. Tobacco use is also associated with the development of acute myeloid leukemia. Below are graphs of the trends in tobacco-related cancers over the period 2003 to 2017 by race and sex with a description of the trends occurring in each group both for the full time period and for the most recent period between 2013 and 2017. All analysis was done using SEER*Stat software2.
