Oro-facial granulomatosis: a possible allergic basis.

Food or flavouring intolerance has been demonstrated in 14 out of 80 patients with oro-facial granulomatosis. Provoking molecules include cinnamaldehyde, carvone and piperitone, although a wide range of food or flavourings may be implicated. The nature of the reaction is not understood but does not seem to involve an IgE mediated response. At present the only reliable way of detecting specific provoking factors is by the use of an elimination diet.

Oral rehabilitation and quality of life following the treatment of oral cancer.

This is the first of two articles concerning the surgical and prosthodontic rehabilitation of patients who have undergone surgery for cancer of the mouth. This article discusses the morbidity associated with treatment and its effect on quality of life. The second article will consider aspects of the prosthodontic rehabilitation particularly with regard to obturator construction following maxillectomy.

Implant rehabilitation of irradiated jaws: a preliminary report.

Ten patients (3 maxilla, 7 mandible), who had been treated for a head and neck malignancy by undergoing radiotherapy, had 42 implants (10 maxillary, 32 mandibular) placed into the irradiated sites and either an overdenture or a fixed prosthesis fabricated. Of the 10 implants placed in the maxilla, 6 were lost; however, there was a 100% survival rate of the implants placed in the mandible (mean duration = 33 months). The use of longer implants and pre- or postimplant hyperbaric oxygen may be necessary in maxillary situations.
