Case report. Diagnosis and management of an anterior lingual mandibular salivary gland defect.

OBJECTIVES: To describe an anterior lingual mandibular salivary gland defect (ALMSGD). A review of the literature shows only twenty-five previously reported cases. METHODS: A twenty-six-year-old female was examined for comprehensive dental treatment when a well-circumscribed, corticated 1.5 cm diameter radiolucent lesion was noted in the mandibular left cuspid region. The patient's previous panoramic radiographs demonstrated that the lesion was present nine years ago and had not changed in size during this interval. RESULTS: The radiographic and clinical findings support the diagnosis of ALMSGD. Surgical intervention is not indicated due to the lack of symptoms and stability of the lesion. CONCLUSIONS: This case is unique because the patient is the youngest reported. It also supports the significance of a radiological diagnosis in the management of hard tissue lesions of the jaws and the importance of access to previous radiographs.

Generalized radiopacities.

Lesions are grouped together based on their radiographic appearances. Although similar in radiographic appearance, lesions often are differentiated by the age of the patient when first detected, sex of the patient, and site predilection. In some cases, lesions can be differentiated further by their prevalence rates or unique radiographic signs.

A possible late onset variation of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome: report of 3 cases.

Three unusual cases of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome with late onset of features and relatively mild periodontal disease are presented. These examples confirm some of the late onset of features and mild periodontal presentation of a previous case report. Bacteriologic associations, polymorphonuclear leukocyte chemotactic, phagocytic, and bactericidal activity, and therapeutics with regard to this syndrome are discussed.

Controversies in the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders: an updated review of the literature.

The purpose of this literature review is to examine some of the controversies related to the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders. The main issues are the role of occlusion as an etiologic factor of temporomandibular (TM) disorders and the diagnostic significance of various radiological findings with respect to TM disorders. Only further research by scientific methodology into these complex areas will aid in resolving these issues.
