Acute angioneurotic edema of the lips and tongue due to emotional stress.

Angioneurotic edema, though a fairly common medical condition, is rarely seen in dental practice. As laryngeal involvement can occur spontaneously and suddenly in the dental office or a similar complication can develop abruptly after administration of certain drugs used in dentistry, an understanding of this condition is definitely indicated. Moreover, as the hereditary form of this clinical entity can be precipitated by trauma, such as various dental and oral surgical procedures with a high incidence of laryngeal edema, an awareness of this phenomenon is an absolute necessity for sound medical and dental practice.

Acute Disease↗

Gonorrhea--its natural history, oral manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

The oral cavity can be involved in a gonococcal infection, either directly or indirectly. Both types of involvement are dangerous to the patient so affected and to the other patients who follow the one so affected, as well as to the dental practitioner himself. Because we are presently in the midst of a gonorrheal epidemic, an awareness of this infectious process is definitely indicated. The clinical features, oral manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are described in detail to assist the practitioner in the proper management of this disease.
