Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is a rare genetic skin disorder that is present at birth, with an incidence of <1:300,000 in different parts of the world. However, there is little evidence of oral manifestations. Oral symptoms and oral rehabilitation of this condition are mostly unknown. This case report reiterates the need for proper dental diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up for a holistic approach. Here, we describe the oral manifestations and successful complete oral rehabilitation procedure performed in a 19-year-old female patient who had prediagnosed LI with skeletal class III jaw discrepancy due to maxillary deficiency.
Aim: This prospective study aim to determine the incidence and pattern of recovery of IAN and LN decits
after surgery while comparing which nerve, site, side, age group and type of impaction was most likely to
suffer from neurosensory disturbances and to evaluate the risk factors such as duration of surgery, proximity to inferior alveolar
canal, excessive hemorrhage, clinical observation of neurovascular bundle, contributing to these postoperative neurosensory
decits.
Materials&Methods: This study was conducted on 30 patients who underwent surgical removal of impacted mandibular third
molar between 2017-2019 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dental Sciences, Davangere.
Clinically, all the patients underwent objective evaluation by using pin prick test, two-point discrimination and blunt test.
Sensory function was evaluated 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months post-operatively. The areas that were evaluated are those supplied
by IAN and LN.
Result: The incidence of NSD in our study was 10%, the IAN 6.7% and LN decit 3.3%. No permanent NSD was observed in this
study. Statistically signicant association was found between excessive hemorrhage from the socket and NSD (p=0.009). No
signicant association was found between gender, age, side, type, difculty score and duration, observation of neurovascular
bundle during surgery and proximity of roots to the inferior alveolar canal with NSD.
Hyponatremia secondary to malignancy is a rare finding. Syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion in head and neck cancer patient can be a serious comorbidity leading to decline in the survival rate. However, most of the time it goes undetected at the outset. And the pathophysiology of this link is not clarified. This article highlights a case of SIADH developed in 40-yr-old man with oral cancer. Also, focusses on the importance of diagnosing it and rendering treatment at the earliest.
To evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of detecting malignant cervical lymph nodes using Clinical evaluation, CT scan and
Ultrasonography and conrmation with histopathology in patients with squamous cell carcinoma. Atotal number of 30 patients, of both sexes, with
carcinoma of different regions of the oral cavity, conrmed with incisional biopsy were included in this study. We found USG to be most sensitive
(83.5%), followed by CT (78.3%) and clinical evaluation (63.7%). Similarly, CT scan was found to be most specic (81.5%), followed by USG
(78.2%) and clinical evaluation (60.7%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
