Loss of teeth can lead to resorption of the residual alveolar ridge, along with a reduction in the patient's neuromuscular function due to decreased proprioception. This can ultimately lead to denture failures. Saving the remaining natural teeth and utilizing oral proprioception for bone preservation and better prosthesis control can prevent such problems. Telescopic overdentures offer the patient several advantages, such as reduced residual ridge resorption, better stability, proprioception, and support. Therefore, the concept of overdentures is truly preventive. This article reports on a case where the patient was prosthodontically rehabilitated with a telescopic overdenture for the mandibular arch and a cast partial denture for the maxillary arch.
Benign migratory glossitis, otherwise known as Geographic tongue, is an inflammatory condition of the tongue of unknown etiology. It is commonly referred to as Erythema migrans. The dorsum and lateral margins of the tongue are the most common sites for the lesion. This lesion is characterized by altering patterns of serpentine white lines surrounding areas of smooth, depapillated mucosa. The center of the lesion appears erythematous with white serpentine borders around it, resembling a "Map." The white border represents the regenerating filiform papillae, keratin, and neutrophils. The lesions have slightly raised, well-developed white margins that cannot be scraped off. Changes in the location and pattern of the lesion are observed every few days, giving it the name "Migratory." Histologically, the process is superficial and shows desquamation of the keratin layers of papillae along with inflammation of the corium.
The fulminant fungal infection, mucormycosis, is an opportunistic disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality in susceptible individuals. The rhino-cerebral structures are often involved, with devastation of the facial hard and soft tissues. This infection overwhelms patients who are already compromised, such as those with diabetes mellitus, hematologic malignancy, renal failure, or immunosuppression. Here, we describe a case of rhino-cerebral mucormycosis in a patient with uncontrolled diabetes and renal failure who was surgically treated.
Periodontal disease is the major cause of tooth loss, characterized by the inflammation of the tooth-supporting structures. Among periodontal diseases, chronic periodontitis is most commonly seen for decades. Achieving functional regeneration is done by surgical procedures, but with limited success. Recently, stem cells have been used for the regeneration of the periodontium. Stem cells are multipotent and show an effective therapeutic tool for periodontal regeneration, due to their plasticity and ability to differentiate into different cell lineages. This review provides an update about stem cells and their applications, which can be future saviors in periodontal therapy.
