A case of myiasis gingiva.

A case of myiasis gingiva was diagnosed in an investigation designed to evaluate the histopathological features of the adjacent tissues of 100 advanced periodontal lesions. The patient was a 36-year old female and her chief complaint was discomfort and swelling in the area between the upper left central and lateral incisors. The patient's medical history, review of the symptoms, and family history were non-contributory and her oral hygiene was acceptable. The surgeon was not aware of anything unusual during the operation. Although the Parasitology Department was unable to define the entomologic identification of the infesting parasite from histopathological tissue slides, it was agreed that this case of myiasis might be produced by larvae of genus Sarcophaga or Enterobius vermicularis.

Herpetic whitlow.

This paper describes a case of transmission of herpetic whitlow to the index finger of a dental student from a patient with herpes simplex virus. The recognition of intraoral viral infections in patients is important because these viruses have serious implications for health care providers. Rubber gloves must be worn when patients with primary or secondary herpetic lesions are treated. Asymptomatic permanent herpes virus carriers must also be treated with appropriate precautions.

The effect of alloxan diabetes and local irritating factors on gingival lymphocytes and plasma cells and serum IgG, IgM and IgA levels.

A histologic study was conducted in 5 diabetic and 5 non-diabetic albino rabbits to determine the effect of experimentally induced diabetes upon the number of gingival plasma cells and lymphocytes in the absence and presence of local factors, and IgG, IgM and IgA levels of the four groups were compared with each other. In conclusion, local factors were primarily responsible for the increase of the gingival plasma cells and lymphocytes. There was no statistically significant difference between the diabetic and non-diabetic group in the absence of local factors. Also, there was no marked difference between the serum IgG, IgA and IgM levels of all groups.

The effect of zinc chloride dentifrices on plaque growth and oral zinc levels.

The antiplaque potential of zinc salts has been previously demonstrated. The purpose of the present investigation was to establish the effect of zinc chloride dentifrices on plaque growth and on the concentration of zinc in saliva and plaque. Zinc levels in saliva and plaque were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Elevated zinc levels were observed in saliva and in plaque for 1 hour after contact with a zinc chloride dentifrice. Increased concentrations of zinc were also observed in plaque residue. Further analysis of data showed that subjects with high rates of plaque growth benefited more from the zinc dentifrices than did those with low rates of plaque growth.
