“…Fissured tongue was encountered in 6% of the diabetic individuals. This figure is similar to that reported for 2478 dental patients [10]. The prevalence of geographic tongue and median rhomboid glossitis was slightly higher among diabetics than among dental and dermatology patients [11].…”

SUMMARYNon-diabetic individuals who are non-secretors of blood group antigens are prone to superficial infections by Candida albicans. In this study, 216 patients with diabetes mellitus who were denture wearers were examined for the presence or absence of denture stomatitis. There was an overall trend for non-secretors to be prone to denture stomatitis compared with secretors. Stepwise linear discriminant analysis was used to dissect the contribution of secretor status and other variables to the development of the disease. Secretor status was found to be a contributory factor among patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes but not among those with insulin-dependent diabetes. The possible reasons for this are discussed.

“…Although the presence of sebaceous glands on the oral mucosa has been reported as Fordyce spots, about 80% of populations have sebaceous glands in the oral mucosa (Halperin et al, 1953). Likewise, hyperpigmented lesions involving the oral mucosa are not rare in clinical practice.…”

“…4 Fordyce's granules (ectopic sebaceous glands in oral mucosa), present in 80% of the population, may also be the origin, by migration of oral epithelium into bone through a fistula or following marsupialization procedure. 1,12 Finally, undifferentiated odontogenic epithelium in dentigerous cysts was suggested to undergo sebaceous differentiation by induction of the mesodermal organizer factors. 1 However, this mechanism fails to explain the presence of sweat glands and hair follicles separate from the lining epithelium.…”

Dermoid cysts within the maxillofacial skeleton are extremely rare, with only 13 cases in the literature. The present report describes a new long-standing intraosseous DC and reviews the literature.A 69-year-old female presented with an expansile mandibular lesion, presenting a large radiolucency with the second and third molars impacted and displaced to the inferior mandibular border. Microscopic examination showed an intraosseous DC, lined by stratified keratinizing epithelium, with multiple aggregates of sebaceous cells and well formed sebaceous glands. Impaction of both second and third molars is an indication of initial development before the physiologic eruption time at approximately age 12. Thus, this presents an extremely longstanding intraosseous DC of at least 45 years duration. Analysis of the literature indicates that in comparison with the more common odontogenic keratocyst, intraosseous DC seems to have a very slow growth rate, and an indolent behavior.
