Is the Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome related to the exposure to food additives? A case report.

We present a case of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome that occurred in an adult patient who experienced intolerance to the food additives sodium benzoate and tartrazine. The main symptoms were the facial swelling, hypertrophy of the gums, and a typical infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells around the small vessels observed in the biopsy of the gums. No involvement of facial nerves was present, and other disorders of granulomatosis have been excluded. All clinical manifestations went into remission once the food additives were excluded from the usual diet.

[Reparative giant cell granuloma. Mandibular localization in a 16 month old girl].

A case of mandibular reparative giant-cell granuloma in a 16-month-old girl is reported. Few similar cases have been described in the literature. The lesion was atypical with respect to its site and the patient's age. Its extension necessitated endoral disarticulation of half the mandible. Conservation of the periosteum led to complete regeneration of the resected bone, with its condyle and coronoid.

Bone Regeneration

[Death after a dental infection].

The pertinent features of life-threatening complications of dental infections have been briefly reviewed with particular emphasis on the alterations of the clinical features of these conditions induced by antibiotic therapy. The clinician who deals with dental infection must exercise a high index of suspicion to consistently abort the development of these complications, especially when treating debilitated patients or individuals with compromised immune functions.
